1st March - Time for a new thread

We can now forget/capitalise on the first two difficult months. The lighter mornings are upon us, soon the sun will be shining more and more and it will become warmer. Time to start thinking about the spring wardrobe...

Come on ladies, lets go for it, Summer will be here before we know it, and we want to enjoy it don't we?

I have copied the stats from the last weigh in, I have put the Jan start weight first, and the last weight that was posted, so update as necessary I have taken off a couple of people I haven't seen in a while, apologies if you are still checking, please say hello and add yourself to the stats again, as well as anyone else who would like to join.

Luckymoray that is a fantastic weight loss. Well Done.

luckymoray · 05/06/2009 13:41

thanks for your congratulations ladies, it is really uplifting and motivating. i have never lost so much weight in my life (i guess i have never needed to this much!) - so i am really, really pleased. I only hope I can keep it up as that has always been my downfall. I can lose but i can't maintain. but let's see. good luck with your continuing loss too x

JustKeepSwimming · 05/06/2009 20:58

Well done Lucky

yes your parents could make a fortune, lol!

well the upstairs scales said 8,6 this morning (normally translates to +2lbs by Wii weigh in) so was hoping for 8,8 tonight but then ate an early tea and was 8,10. shouldn't have bothered weighing in really. will try tomorrow to do it before food. though have just had some pizza with brother (yes 2 teas, bad i know!!!)

LisaLessLumpy · 07/06/2009 21:15

Back down to 11st 1.8

wow that is proper slim JKS - huge congratulations. you must be really chuffed. I think i would have to chop something off to get to that weight these days!!

well done to Lisa too - you'll be under the 11 mark before you know it.

i've been away for a week on holiday in Wales so this will have to be a lean, lean week for me this week - need to not have put on on Friday's weigh-in. Fingers crossed.

I was 10st 13.6 this morning only just got in there by the skin of my teeth but its the lightest I have weighed in 6 years

OP posts:
luckymoray · 10/07/2009 13:24

well done lisa. being under 11 is brilliant.

it seems like no one else is posting but i
am still here - it's a good motivator for me, even if i'm just posting to myself!

dropped another pound so i am 10st 7 - only one more pound to go and i will have lost 2 stone since february. really pleased.

keep at it

LisaLessLumpy · 14/07/2009 19:56

Well done lucky

I haven't lost any more but even after a heavy weekend of drinking I am still under the 11 'just' Husband is away for a week from tomorrow so I may lose a bit more because I tend to live on cereal as I can't be bothered to cook for one

OP posts:
MaryAnnSailors · 20/07/2009 13:32

Hello?
Can i come back?
I'm back from living from my 70s timewarp MIL's while my flat was getting done to eventually sell.

Wow. Just reading through the page... and JKS has made it! How great!

During the middle of the stay at MILs the fam went on holiday which saw me down at the beach every day, and i got down to 10st 6. Lots of lovely fresh salads etc and plenty of swimming in the sea. But am back up to 10st10. Fed up to the gills with tea and biscuits upon return to MILs. Didn't complain tho.

It was lovely to see 10st 6 on the scales - and it will give me incentive to get back there.

I'm ready to lose some more now. Oh yes!
Starting from..... NOW!

MaryAnn - Well done for getting down to 10st 6

I have just managed to scrape into my 10's with no exercise whatsoever. I really must get back into it now though if I have any chance of losing anymore.

Welcome back, hopefully some of the other ladies will make it back soon.

yes welcome back - MAS and congrats on weight loss - i am still here although have had a bit of a crap week so haven't weighed myself as i thought i would put on. will weigh myself on friday and try and get back on it. would love to be down to 10 stone by holiday on 18 August but i fear it's too much, too soon....it's scary how quickly you can fall off the wagon...a few meals out, a few glasses of wine, a few hangovers, a few greasy meals the next day...a vicious (but delicious) circle! good luck

MaryAnnSailors · 22/07/2009 21:09

Cheers lucky!I reckon you could make it at least halfway there - maybe more if you're an active sort.

I've got to be focused, i've got a wedding mid august with old work colleagues who i haven't seen in two years. I want to lessen the 'letting yourself go' thoughts.

Had a good run around with ds for a couple of hours and eating on track.

So glad you're still here Lisa!

MaryAnnSailors · 24/07/2009 13:40

sneaky weigh in and 10st 9 ...keep going...

Countingthegreyhairs · 27/07/2009 10:20

Er, hello everyone, please may I sneak back in too?

Sorry to have been away for so long - had an awful run of broken ankle, illness, family pressures etc etc - seem to have come out the other side thank heavens ...

I really hope this thread doesn't die a death ... it's been really helpful to me when I've been struggling and "stuck" ... and even when I've been too disappointed with myself to post the same old weight, it's been really helpful to lurk and see everyone else making progress and winning personal battles ...

I've lost a bit on holiday ... owing to smaller portions and much more active lifestyle ....

The challenge will be to keep this up at home but am certainly going to try with renewed vigour ...

Congratulations MAS, Countess and LuckyM - you've done brilliantly ....

Brilliant you have reached your target JKS!!!

LisaLessLumpy · 31/07/2009 10:36

I've managed to put 2lb back on

I have started back on the Cross Trainer though, trying to do an hour every other day, or 45 mins and some situps etc, hopefully it will come back off just as quick. Off on my hols in just over two weeks, left it too late to lose enough to make any difference. Oh well, all my cloths fit
