⭐️LOSE IT!⭐️Fit & Fabulous February 2025⭐️

⭐️ OPEN TO ALL ⭐️

Following on from ⭐️LOSE IT! Revive & Thrive January 2025⭐️

WOW January passed in a heartbeat! Let’s keep the momentum going ladies!

To reach optimum health and vitality (as well as a slim bod) we need to focus not only on our food intake; but movement, our mental health and sleep quality too!

Who doesn’t want to feel good and energetic as well looking great!
Get on board to reset & refresh and become a healthier version of yourself.

These threads are for those who’d like to lose weight and those who wish to maintain whilst eating a healthy varied diet.

As no one size fits all, members need to follow their own way of eating. This thread aims to offer guidance, support and a bit of hand holding.

We generally have WOW (weigh on Wednesday) day each week. However post and share your progress as often or as little as you prefer. Do what works for you.

The important thing is not to think of it as a diet (based on deprivation and unsustainable) but more a way of life (sustainable & enjoyable).

I calorie count based on a lower carb Mediterranean diet. I intermittent fast and eat twice a day. Im a long time healthy eater and overall I’ve lost over 3 stone. After having been on the wrong side of 12st Im now hovering around 9st 2lbs.

Are you in😊 What food plan will you be following? What do you want to change and why?

Congratulations on your loss as well as your Work Award! You deserve to be proud & celebrated 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments ❤️xx

Apologies @socks1107 I missed your post. Congratulations on your loss! 🥳👍👏

SW: 90.7kg
CW: 84.4kg

More realistic loss this week! Happy with the direction.

SW: 72.5 kg beginning January (I was as high as 74.9kg last year!)
GW1: 70 kg end January (achieved and reset to 69kg)
CW: 68.3kg (4.2 kg lost) 19th Feb
GW2: 65 kg end March (in time for weekend away)
GW3: 60kg end June

Back down to my lowest this week but February looking to be Flatline February at this point! The scale did dip slightly lower but settled on 68.3kg so fingers crossed I am now heading back down again, just really need to put the effort in (and tell DH to stop baking bread!)

Still think my end March target of 65kg, losing 3.3kg in the next 5 weeks is doable but I will be happy to just get into the 67's really.

Congratulations on the award @jane46b thats a fantastic achievement. Well done everyone with your journeys. Consistency is key - we will all have some weeks where it all goes to pot and we just need to keep going.

this week I am down 2.5lbs - delighted with that .
SW: 12st
CW: 10.9
GW: 10st
hope the next week is kind to you all

Thank you - we are a very proud team 🙌🏼

And well done on your loss, you're smashing it!

Well done everyone.

Only half pound off here but I'm down to the 10st 6lb range for the first time so I'll take that.

Kale and lentil soup in the pan for lunch.

Hey all,

Not been around much, but been reading all your posts. OH has been away working Mon-Thur these past almost 5 weeks & it's wild how much time I just don't have when it's just me doing everything!

Surprising loss this week of 2lbs. I've not been counting cals & definitely veered off the path, so pleasantly surprised.

SW 14st 2lb
CW 13st 6lb
TW 11st 7lb (as a starter)

10lb feels significant & 2 people have now said they can see a bit of a difference. Put jeans on today I couldn't get into before, so that's positive.

I'm trying to be really good this week as was out Sat night & definitely ate too much 😫.

Keeping up the 45 min fast walking daily, which I really like as a new normal.

Well done to everyone this week, whether losses, gains or STS, the important thing is we're trying. ❤️

You’re all doing amazing, well done!
Slightly over on calories today but nothing too bad. Steps were poor as WFH and was glued to my desk all day. Off tomorrow for the rest of the week so should get some steps in running around after the children!

Forgot to weigh yesterday!
WoThursday 65.1kg
TW 60kg

Crawling downwards, I really need to get into the 64s for next WOW 🤞

Well done everyone!! I haven’t weighed or done any exercise last few days - this lurgy has taken me out!! Hopefully back on it all tomorrow!

Knowing it's half term still managed to get my work out done this week. Working hard to keep my pounds off. Hoping to see some changes over next few days.

I'm getting so frustrated. My weight is fluctuating so much! I was down to 164.6 a week ago. Then yesterday I was 163.6 - finally in my healthy BMI!! Then I stupidly stepped on again this morning just as a boost really and it says 165.4! 😢 Arghhhhh

Morning, happy Friday! I’m down 0.75lbs today (which is what I put on last week!) so am 11st exactly. Really hoping to be under 11st by the end of Feb

That's what happens to me but don't give up keep to your routine and you will see a difference.

That's what had happened to me but don't give up stick to your routine. I weighed my self am still the same weight as I was couple of days ago but still sticking to my usual eating and workout.

Am hoping to be under 14 this week. Still at my usual workout and steady calorie intake. Hopefully we will see the results.

Happy Friday!

I had a great week; been on point, portioned controlled my meals, drank plenty of water and moved (in a fashion 😆) most days. Feeling somewhat less fluffy and generally a bit more refreshed.

@ts96 Great loss 👍👏 👍

Fingers crossed for you @TealSloth

Thankyou ❤

Thankyou hopefully when kids go back to school on Monday il be back in gym.

I am completely off my intended track but it’s due to illness and not moving as much so I am reducing my calories until I am back at being a bit more active. I’m not gaining but I’m not losing so at my lower activity levels my BMR must be 1700 a day which I’ve been consuming. Stepping it down to 1500 until I’m back on my feet then will put it back up a bit

Hi @Jaderz Sorry to read you’re ill 🤒. Im well meaning and not telling you what you should do but if your appetite is still there I’d focus on nutritious food to help you body & mind recover, rather than cutting calories ❤️

It’s ok I am very busy at work, just had a gross cold so food tastes crap. I’m mostly just too tired to exercise need to get some rest but appetite wise I am fine, I do not need the extra biscuits 😂 and also I am trying to make sure I get plenty of fibre to help with my constipation. Making sure I am eating nutritional whole foods rather than processed crap. The 1500 calories are good volume foods with plenty of protein so this is good, what I was doing was falling back into cobbling together quick snacks rather than fresh foods so gone back to that and not feeling too hungry.

Sounds like you're very sensible @Jaderz 👍😅
