Does anybody want to try and lose a stone

OP posts:
RenegadeMrs · 14/02/2022 20:42

I'm in. I actually need to lose 3 stone, but to do that I have to start by losing one. Mine is all post baby weight. DD2 is 19 months now though, and I have my sisters wedding in August so really need to make an effort now.

I'm signing back up with slimming world. I don't follow their program exactly but do calorie count and try to stay low fat. I find weekly accountability works for me.

Can I join please?

Lost 6lb in three weeks calorie counting but I need every bit of motivation to not demolish all the chocolate digestives in the cupboard 🙃

I’m in, I was 11st8 this morning. I have started running and already down a few pounds, so hope I can keep it up.

lunklitdays · 14/02/2022 20:47

Can I join too? I'm 11st, would ideally like to lose a stone and a half.

Going to do intermittent fasting, had success with that last year but have been eating LOADS since about last September 🙄

MintheMiddle · 14/02/2022 20:50

My gosh some of your start weights I could only dream of being!

I'm 13st 2lb
Calorie counting by nutracheck and attempting more walking (typically my DS has got chicken pox do not much walking going on atm)

Going away to York for the night end of March for DP birthday and would like to be well into 12st bracket by then

Can I join you? I am circa 10 stone and would love to be 9 (5ft 2) BUT over 50 and gained nearly 2 stones over last 2 years, managed to lose 10 lbs over 6 months last summer. Alas I do not feel inclined to eat less or exercise more (eg. Made homemade lemon meringue pie tonight which had 400g sugar - didn't eat it all though 😋).
Fingers crossed, eh?

itstimeforme · 14/02/2022 21:59

Me please. 11.4 today, heaviest I have ever been. Target 9.12. Fed up with starting a diet every Monday and stuffing my face every Sunday all day. Confused

Happyface120 · 14/02/2022 22:00

Yes please! 11st 3lb today, happy weight is around 10st. On holiday next week, but then will get back on it!

stuntbubbles · 14/02/2022 22:00

Can I join please. I’m 11 stone. I was quite skinny on maternity with all the breastfeeding and bouncing a child. Now I’m sedentary, still eating as though I’m breastfeeding, yet feel like I’m running around. Have ballooned Blush

Hedgepiggy · 14/02/2022 22:04

Yea please I started doing high protein low carb at the end of January which enabled me to drop by 4 pounds in 2 weeks but then got really busy with life and didn't have time to meal plan so just ate with the family and have put 2 pounds back on! I need motivation to exercise, I have good selection of workout dvds but need a good nudge to get on with it!

It's a blue app stating weight loss with a tape measure wrapped around the words and it's free

Hello, can I join in? I'll weigh in in the morning but I need to lose at least 1.5 stone, probably 2 (that said I'm going to work in kg, so 10-13). I need some accountabilibuddies. Smile

I need to join this to get motivated to lose a stone before my holiday in 13 week

User48751490 · 14/02/2022 22:14

Currently doing this, but no idea how much I have lost since first week of the new year. Ideally need to lose one and a half stone.

Me too going on holiday 14 weeks

Rupertpenrysmistress · 14/02/2022 22:21

I am in. At my heaviest now at 11.7. Exercised for the first time today. Already stopped wine 6 weeks ago but replaced the calories with loads of treats. I just feel so uncomfortable.

I have actually bought clothes the next size up as I am sick of everything being so tight. Problem is I am 44 and it really is harder to lose weight as you age.

See you all next week and good luck.

surreymum89 · 14/02/2022 22:54

Yes me! I'm 11st 11, ideal weigh is 10st, almost 6 months postpartum, really struggle with losing the weight whilst breastfeeding as I get so hungry but definitely need to choose healthier snacks and get moving more !

Okla · 15/02/2022 07:00

Downloading the NHS weight loss plan as I type. I binge on chocolate and been drinking alcohol every week. I will cut out junk from today and also, EXERCISE today. Thank you, this is a great group to motivate me. I've just ordered two pairs of denim shorts and was about the keep the larger size but maybe I should send both back and reorder when I'm back to a decent size 12. We can do this!

Sexnotgender · 15/02/2022 07:10

Weighed myself this morning so my start weight is officially 10st 2.2

Pucarbuile · 15/02/2022 08:10
