Team UK - September10

James501

Ok another month has passed and time to set new goals everyone.

I hit target for August so this month the aim is to get to 10 stone which is only 6lbs but that was the BIG target i set 2 months ago.

I have decided i will reset targets after that, maybe 1 more stone. It seems as 9 stone is my natural wieght. Who would have thought it would be that low

Anyway looking forward to seeing your Targets and results from last month

I'm joining you all this month.

I joined MFP on the 16th of august and I've lost 7lb since then. My goal is to lose 2lb a week anything over that is a bonus.
I have a lot of weight to lose but my start has been better than I hoped.

Hi everyone,

I've lost my way these last couple of weeks and have been eating rubbish and not going to the gym. I've not been able to get out as my son is autistic and he has been truly awful just recently. I have been feeling very ill with stress and just not had much of a break. Well, I've had no break really as my husband has been working long hours and there's no-one else to help out.

Anyway, I have set my goal to start again as soon as he is back at school next Monday and will get back into the routine of logging all my meals and going to the gym regularly. I was doing so well as well but I just don't cope with stress at all anymore and always end up falling into a big black hole of despair and stuffing my face! I don't have many incentives either, which doesn't help, as I can never go out anywhere so looking nice isn't much of an issue for me anymore. Doesn't matter what you look like when you have to stay in with a child with special needs! The exercise does help a bit with the stress though and saves me punching anyone in the face (joke)!

Have regained 6lbs and will work hard to get that and more off.

Good luck everyone and keep smiling

The months seem to be flying by...

Well, I was a very good girl all throughout August I've been happy with my weightloss and now have just over a stone to go :happy:

Hi all

Just checking in. I reached my goal in August and now resetting a new one. Have decided to go for another 7lbs this month which will take me down the halfway mark of my overall goal. Should be easier to stick to my plan this month as there are fewer birthdays so less cakey temptation! Hopefully I'll be able to get back exercising properly over the next week but easy does it.

Hope everyone else is feeling optimistic for September. Planning is the key!

Hi all,

I only started in August and my goal then was just to get started, I've lost 4lbs so far. My goal for September is 6lb anything over that will be a bonus.
Good luck for September everyone. xx

My first proper goal on this page - to lose 9lbs in September, just as I have in June, July and August. I took my weight as the day started as my first reading, and had a good day on today's weight - but with a daily weight I'd expect it to be back up again tomorrow. Bloody Wii.

Hi all,

I lost 3 1/2 lbs in August, but only joined mid-month so I think that was pretty good for me.

My goal for September is 5lb - anything over that is a bonus. I went back to work today (boooo!) but looking forward to getting back into a routine of eating my food instead of 'helping' my children! I have had 6 weeks off (Special Needs teacher) and I really need to motivate myself to do some exercise on an evening, instead of getting trapped into sitting on my bottom doing my school work.

Have a good month, everyone!

Well I did OK with my August goals at least I managed to find this new thread before the month is half over :happy:

I maintained my weight despite pigging out for my birthday and having some time off work, there's been a bit too much junk and alcohol creeping in though despite my goal to keep an eye on it. (well I guess I did keep an eye on it as I merrily ate it!)

Back to a positive I've done pretty good at the gym, mixing extra cardio in with the strength training and I'm looking a bit more toned.

I've changed my calorie goal back to a slight deficit so I would like to lose another couple of pounds in September but won't beat myself up if I don't. Otherwise my goals are:

No fast food/takeaways
be good with the alcohol - aim for 1 bottle of wine a week stretched over the weekend evenings and that's it.
focus on toning my abs
Maybe, just maybe start running on treadmill, managed 2 minutes the other day, just need to see how my knackered back holds up.

Good luck to everyone in September

I'm going to stay in touch this month i promise!
how are you all?
Well i'm on day 3 of the detox (Just finished) and i've got a good feeling about it!
I'm going to do a bit of gentle exercise with it tomorrow and see how it goes.

I can't believe in just over 2 weeks i'm leaving home and moving into my own flat!
Off to Leeds University and I am so excited!
It's going to be hard not to revert to cheap and easy noodles but i'm going to cycle everywhere so hopefully i won't put on the fresher lbs!

Anyone up to anything special this month?

Hi everyone! I've been missing in action for about 7 months. I wish I could report said action was all exercise but unfortuanately there was a fair bit of eating :ohwell: ).

I'm going to stay this time and September's goal is to get back to where I was by losing 8 pounds.

Here's hoping we all achieve our goals this month :drinker:

So my goal was to lose 30lbs by Christmas.... I started on MFP around 25th July and since then I've lost about 12lb so think I should be on target for my 30lb loss. I've just been on holiday to Chicago for a week - I stayed with my best friend so we were healthier than we would have been had we been eating out for every meal but I didn't calorie count and definitely didn't stay at 1200 calories. I also didn't manage to do much exercise (one trip to the gym and a couple of times swimming). Happily I only put on .5lb over the week and have managed to shift that already since I've been back with getting back to my 1200 calories and gym sessions.

Hope everyone is doing well

Bumping for later xxx

So I managed to put on 7 pounds over my birthday week! I didn't count calories, but I'm pretty sure I didn't eat that much more than usual! I've been counting for about 18m,onths now, so you'd think I'd have a pretty good idea.

Goals for this month are to shifty the seven extra pounds and to do all my training for the half marathon in October.

Take care everyone x

Hi All

I didn't post in August due to being manic at work then out of the country for a lovely all inclusive cruise! With that and the Bank Holiday plus a couple of weeks off I managed to put a couple of pounds back on. I have my Rosemary Conley post bank holiday weigh in tonight so am hoping for a maintain so that I can work on getting the gained 2lbs back off plus the final 5lbs I want to shed.
I bought the 30 day Shred DVD recently but haven't taken the cellophane off yet! I also have social events on for the next 6 weekends on the trot, including a girls weekend to Edinburgh, so I am going to have to be extra good in the week to be able to sustain a bit (but hopefully not a lot!) of indulgence at the weekends.
So....my goals for September are:-

1. Lose 1lb per week.
2. Take the cellophane off the Shred DVD, insert into DVD player and partake!
3. Try on my size 10 christmas dress to see if it's starting to look any better then the over stuffed sausage I looked like in it 2 months ago.

Have a great month everyone x

gillleeman

Hi all. I managed to lose 2lbs last month and only 4lb to go to target now! I would like to lose another 2lb this month, but its really hard to say as I plateaued for ages before losing last months weight. So target this month is stay the same or lose some.

So typical though, when I went on holiday and did'nt have any mfp contact or count calories I lost weight in August!

Of course, welcome

Diets and weddings don't go well together. If there's dancing you could really go for it and burn off the calories whilst keeping the wedding party entertained at the same time :laugh:

sim247

Good evening all,

Just loving this sunny weather!

Well, I lost 3lbs last month but that only put me back to where I started before I joined mfp. Hopefully this month I can lose a few pounds. My weight loss has slowed down of late, and it is really annoying me how I keep to my calories and exercise almost every day and yet I still can't lose the lbs!!!!!

Anyways....enough of my moaning, looking forward to seeing how everyone else is doing

You must be so frantic and excited right now! Good luck for the day x

I had a naughty one as cakes and pastries turned up to work yet again today (that's 6 cake days in 9 work days!) Have managed to resist all week but today really got to me and I had a couple of doughnuts. Worked out when I got home though and have burnt the cals. Gonna work out hard again tomorrow before weigh in on Saturday. Hope everyone else is doing well today x

Well, I lost 9lbs in my first month here so I think I'll set myself 5 lbs to lose before September is out, that way I'll be halfway to my goal.

Sadly, two weeks of travelling on business stand between me and that goal - I hate to think what's going to happen to my lovely routines when I'm forced to eat out every night.

We shall see!

queenmedusa

Feeling really bloated the night before weigh in. Haven't done as much exercise as planned - went to visit my family as my sis and her kids were going back home this afternoon but mum got me to do a 'quick' favour for her which took over 3hrs. Have been tired ever since and haven't got the energy to work out. Hope some weight magically disappears while I'm asleep so that I feel thinner by weigh in tomorrow!

Hi everyone

I've been MIA for a couple of weeks - baby is being seriously hard work! She's started sleeping a bit better now (only 2-3 wakings instead of 6-8!) so hopefully I'll get back on track. That said, I met my goal for August and lost an extra lb too! I'm officially a healthy BMI for the first time in over a year!

My goal for September is to lose 5lbs.

AnnaPixie

Hi everyone.

Only joined 2 weeks ago and with the bank holiday in between I kinda put on weight :laugh: but I know its just water so am leaving it till next week to log an 'official' weight

September is a great month to diet, I think? As it starts to get colder I always feel more in the mood to exercise, even if its just to cheer myself up :bigsmile:

I'm pretty useless at reaching goals as I always say I'll lose 8 lbs and end up losing 4lbs. So this month I'll keep my goals generic:

1. to exercise 5 days per week
2. to walk for an hour 2x per week
3. to drink alcohol only 2 weekends out of 4
4. to not get depressed about number 3 :laugh:

Good luck everyone :flowerforyou:

wizzywig

Hi everyone :drinker:

August was a bad months for me, :grumble: (although I'm glad I didn't put any weight on). I seemed to lose direction/focus and didn't log the calories as often as I should have.

:drinker: Here's hoping September is a better month. Congrats to those who have lost. I think I have lost 1lb but weighed in first thing this morning, and always like it to be "lost" for a few days before I change my ticker.

Good Luck everyone for a happy healthy September

Lol. I change mine at the first sniff of a loss

3. to drink alcohol only 2 weekends out of 4
4. to not get depressed about number 3 :laugh:

That's impressive. Unfortunately I've found that if I have to do something that consists primarily of the word Die, then a glass of wine a day is necessary for maintenance of sanity :drinker:

nikkijennings
