    Hi peeps,

    I've had a disastrous week and a half! Completely lost it over half term and haven't managed to get back on track! I start my 10000 steps a day for cancer research on Friday so hopefully that will get me my motivation back 😢 feel so silly that I go through this same pattern over and over. Really focused, lose weight, completely off the rails, put weight back on!

    Sw 13st 10.5

    Wednesday 2nd Jan: 13st 8lbs
    Wednesday 9th Jan: 13st 2.5lbs
    Wednesday 16th Jan:12st 13.75lbs
    Wednesday 23rd: 12st 12.5lb
    Wednesday 30th Jan: 12st 9.5lbs
    Wednesday 6th Feb: 12st 9.25lbs
    Wednesday 13th Feb: 12st 6.75lbs
    Wednesday 20th Feb: 12st 3.5lbs
    Wednesday 26th Feb: 12st 5.5lbs

    maybe you need to look at making 'rails' that are a little more easy to stay on?

    yes, you need to make overall lifestyle changes, but that doesn't have to be everything at once and it doesn't have to be doing things that you don't enjoy or want to do just for the sake of losing weight.

    That's the silly thing. I haven't been doing anything really restrictive or over the top in terms of exercise. Every now and again I just get in the mind set that I want to completely binge on rubbish!

    I think you've done really well. It's taken me over 3 months to lose a stone, and you've done that in less than 2. It's the first week that you've not had a loss and I think that's remarkable.

    Hi guys. I forgot to post yesterday. I will weigh in tomorrow but so far havent lost anymore weight but my clothes are getting looser abd looser. I lost an inch on hips, bust and lower belly pooch plus half and inch on my waist last week. My time of the month is near so I think a bit of bloating going on in my mid-section. I don't want to get paronoid about the scale so I want to weigh in tomorrow 1st Feb and then nothing until 28th Feb to see my results.

    Wednesday 7th Jan 202 pounds
    Wednesday 16th Jan 200.4 pounds
    Wednesday 23 Jan 197.2 pounds
    Wednesday 30 Jan 197.2 pounds

    So currently 14 st 1.2 pounds.


    Everyone else seems to be doing very well.

    So I weighed in today and small scale victory

    Friday 1st Feb 195.8 pounds or 13 stone 13 pounds 8 ounces

    I will put measurements here but no weigh in until 28th Feb. Fingers crossed that I can hold on that long!

    Guys I weighed in today and was shocked and amazed at 188.4 pounds or 13 stone 6 pounds 4 ounces. So amazed becuase that's like on average 2 pounds lost per week!

    Also my measurements have reduced a lot and clothes are much better fitting. Feel amazing overall and not stressed myself by weighing every 2 days. I'm going to do another month.

    💪🏽😊

    Overall progress

    Well done, fingers crossed for you for next week. My next aim is to get out of the 12s. Girls weekend in London this weekend so not hopeful for it being this week but am going to try my best to stay on track 🤞

    Thank you Cathy - I've only just seen this post. I had a setback today (Friday) as I went back to 11st 1.6lb for no reason at all. Had only 1100 calories, and resisted temptation when out on Thursday.

    Hope it goes ok for you this weekend.
