Lose a stone with me!

[Amayonaising]

Have dabbled in various wl chats before but starting my own thread for accountability - would love some people to join me!

Weighed in yesterday at the heaviest I've ever been excluding pregnancy - 59.6kg 😓 In all honesty I shouldn't be shocked, my diet has been crap, but I'm just so disappointed in myself for letting it slide up so much (I was 56kg in May).

Anyway! Trying to stay positive and focus on the changes I will be making. Luckily I have lots to motivate me: a big birthday in late September that I want to be healthier for, and a very fancy wedding in October that is basically a college reunion so I want to look my best!

Plan is to seriously overhaul my diet (started yesterday), I already exercise a fair bit but will up the walking.

Not sure yet how often I'll weigh in but for posterity:

SW: 59.6
TW: 52ish

Edit to add that I am very short I'm case that's not clear!

Hi all, sorry about the disappearing act! Summer holidays (or any school holidays) are always so hectic and I find myself fighting for time for myself! @Sunflowers83 I remember you from the other thread! We were doing so well on it and then it went all quiet 😔Since then, I have sadly gained some weight back but hope to get back into old routines that helped me to lose the weight in the first place which included walking 10k steps everyday, and limiting my snacks to one snack a day. I will also start intermittent fasting again when the kids return to school. However for now, my stats are:

SW: 8st 6
Today: 8st 3.5
Target: 7st 5

Just for context, I am 4'11" and small framed. 7st 5 was my pre-pregnancy weight but I'll be happy to be 2-3lbs above that if I can get back into my old clothes!

I am back and have eaten a horrendous number of calories this weekend.
I'm dreading the scale weight tomorrow - but line drawn.

Bring on September. Let's make it a great month guys!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! Can't quite believe it's September already, and I'm a month in.

Really hoping I can keep up the losses this month, but this thread is definitely helping me stay motivated and on track, so thank you ladies 🥰

I’ve had an off plan few days and gained more than I’d like but trying to be 100% for the next 4 days before I go away again on Saturday. Hoping to lose at least some of the gain!

I seem to lose my way when I don't track, and find tracking so onerous. I need to push forwards now though, will track all day, and report back tomorrow confirming so!

How did the tracking go yesterday @Octovent ?

What I've started doing is filling it in at the beginning of the day with what I've got planned / intend to eat. It's much easier to manage then. How are you getting on?

Ooh that seems very sensible!

I'm going okay I think, I haven't quite got the balance right with exercise v food though... have exercised a lot this week but feel like I've been overeating then, whereas last week I barely did anything and it was much easier to stay on track!!

I can relate to that. This is been my most slack week of the year with exercising and I'm not struggling with hunger at all. Usually I'm long distance running and I think that's where half my problems lie!

Morning! Calling @Octovent @SupernaturalAddict @tralalalalalalalaala @SmallWhiteFluffyClouds @Sunflowers83 for our Saturday scale read! Anyone else who wants to be reminded just like this post and please join us 😊

Week 5 ✔️
SW: 59.6kg
CW: 54.7kg
TW: 52kg

Don't know where that weight came out of tbh, I had been getting 55.1 all week and was happy with that so not sure what caused such a big drop between today and yesterday!

This was a hard week! And very up and down following multiple dinners out and changes to my schedule… however major milestone as I have finally reached under 12st and have an 11 at the start again!

SW: 12st 12.2lbs
CW: 11st 12.6lbs
TW: I’m not ready to commit to this yet lol

Wow - well done @Amayonaisingand @tralalalalalalalaala

Using my Happy Scale moving average.
SW: 8st13.5
Today: 8st13.1
Target: ?8st?

However, I was 8st11.8 yesterday which really encouraged me and then 8st12 today, so hopefully my moving average will start to go down now (as long as I don’t go back up again!).

SW: 12st 5lbs
CW: 11st 7lbs
GW: 11st 0lbs

Pfft. I haven't lost anything. Still been doing the "gallbladder diet" - everything I eat is under 3% fat and I have had no alcohol at all and thought I would lose a pound at least.

Not been going to the gym as I think it is making the gallbladder issue worse. Also slipped on the wet floor in Tesco and kept hold of the trolley and it's made my shoulder sore. Only saw the "wet floor" signs when I was lying on the floor next to them - they were at eye level then.

Never mind. Got appointment at a "Same Day Emergency Clinic" this Thursday to find out what is causing this pain. I am really hoping that they agree it is the gallbladder and that at some point it will be removed.

Hi all, just checking in today as Sunday has been my usual “final” weigh in for the week. I’ve been pretty much static on 8.3 all week and today has shown a small drop so I’ll take that! Well done to everyone, looks like we’re all holding strong!

SW: 8st 6
Today: 8st 2 1/4
Target: 7st 5

Hi there hope everyone ok. Went to slimming world yesterday and gained 1lb

I lost the plot a bit yesterday and went out for a meal. 1kg up

I’m back from my weekend away 😊
I weighed on Saturday before I left and was pleased to be back to what I was before (I think so anyway, I can’t find my previous post). I know I’ve gained again over the weekend but already working on that!

So this is Saturday’s weight for my weekly weigh in:

Start weight 80.5
Current weight 78.9
Goal weight 66

Have a good week all x

Hi all, grateful for this thread. I have been off the (food) wagon for just over two weeks. I just haven't been able to get back into it.

Reset day tomo. I've ordered a new sports bra ready for the gym (don't plan on showing it off but would die of shame if my current bras were seen in the wild). I have sciatica so very gentle exercise to start but it's a start.

I'm gonna weigh in on Sat with a fresh start. I may weigh in more than once a week, hope that's ok? I think It'll do me good to have to write it down for other people.

Well done on the losses guys. Under12 stone is an accomplishment.

How has everyone's week been? We've been away for a few nights but have (maybe?) stayed mostly on track.

Haven't weighed myself since Monday though, so a bit nervous for that!

Been a busy week and I’ve been quite active but my weight has been soooo stagnant. I’m out for dinner tonight so not anticipating seeing a loss tomorrow morning either. Running is getting faster though - gets easier with less weight to carry I suppose! I’ve been mostly on track but think it is that part of the healthy eating plan where I’m feeling a little bored but I know I just need to push through and I’ll feel inspired again in a few days haha.

Happy Saturday! @Octovent @SmallWhiteFluffyClouds @Sunflowers83 @SupernaturalAddict @tralalalalalalalaala @CrowsInMyGarden @Goodvibesonly check in today. And anyone else who wants join us 😊

Week 6 ✔️
SW: 59.6kg
CW: 56.1kg
TW: 52kg

Complete wash out of a week, obviously was not staying as "on track" as I thought and suspect the Chinese last night didn't help 😅 trying not to be too downhearted about it, hopefully some at least is salt/water retention.

Hi everyone

Well I WAS doing well. Yesterday was 11.5 so that is a loss of a stone since end of June. Well pleased.

Then I had a doctor's appt that upset me. Nothing drastic, I just keep getting told different things by different doctors.

I was so fed up I sulked and for dinner had a big piece of vegan steak and ale pie, washed down with two bottles of vintage cider. I have not had any alcohol for months and feel bloody awful now. Have just wasted all morning doing nothing but sighing and moaning about how I am NEVER drinking again.

Weighed in this morning and was 11.8! Never mind. I won't be doing that again for a very long time.

I bet you both have water retention and hopefully the scales will drop for you both again this week!

Well new week 1 for me.

12.3 i'll settle for any loss this week. This isn't as bad as i expected.

I will be having and likely cake tonight andnext Friday due to celebrations but I want to be rocking it the other days.

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased that my weight today was the same as last Saturday, as I had last weekend away and when I weighed on Monday had gained 1.5 kg! So I’m happy that I’m back to where I was before I went away (although I’ve just had a very calorie heavy lunch out so will have already undone some of the good work) 😮

Start weight 80.5
Current weight 78.9
Goal weight 66

Hi all. Slimming world today and had a maintain. A bit frustrating but I had been out for dinner twice and a broken oven so I guess it is what it is
