    Weighed myself this morning.. -2lbs.

    Usually what happens for me is I lose the first few pounds easily and then get stuck, so I'll just have to try and stay motivated (this time!).

    Woohoooooo I'm DOWN, I haven't been down in months!
    126.8>126.2
    Another 3 ounces and I'll be 8stone something!!! Would be awesome to reach this ultimate goal before Christmas.
  • I, rather disappointingly, stayed the same :(

    However, my clothes do feel a little looser and my waist has definitely decreased so all my hard work has done something. If only I wasn't out so many nights, if I am still the same on January 1st that will be a result!

    No exercise today, house must be cleaned.

    Ah hard luck Marie, but I posted a topic in community here about the scales not always telling full story (beware - underwear pics of me, might be too much for you :D ) As long as you're getting smaller that's the main thing.

    Hi all - had left a message on thread in mm - hope you all don't mind me joining in?!

    Today am 13.5 stone. Had a baby ten days ago but need to watch the calories as getting married in may! Am not starving myself as nursing but watching the types of food I am eating and no treats.

    BUM. Up 1lb to 127.2 BUT I did have my period BUT I also ate more chocolate than I usually do :( So I can't blame water retention, more like Lindt retention :D
    And I have 3 big meals out between now & next weigh-in!!

    Down 1lb. Nearly back to my pre-pregnancy weight, 2 more lbs to go to reach that particular target.

    Thanks for the welcome Derv :smile:

    Thanks for welcome too :-)

    Also down one pound. I am going to have to seriously sit down and figure out the calories in all the stuff I cook myself as I rarely use sauces or jars for dinner anyway. Am using the ones on data base currently as too lazy.

    Well done pots!

    Hi girls,

    Going to join you if that's ok. I'm Cypress on MM.
    Well I lost a lot of weight earlier in the year using MFP (4.5 stone) after having DD2 but after finishing feeding and over the Christmas (and not running as much!) I've put up a stone. So my aim now is to lose 17 lbs to get down to 9st 10. I'd be delighted with that!

    Hi cypress!

    I was too chicken last week to weigh myself. Will do so on Wednesday and post. I started couch to 5k today too. I'm actually starving a nd while I'm not eating any less I'm convinced it's because I've told myself I'm watching what I'm eating :-(

    Glad I plucked up the courage today - down to 13 stone. Now where from is beyond me as clothes still fit the same way but I'm not going to be negative. So that's half a stone in over a month - if only I could do that every month!!

    I've made my diary public if anyone wants to have a look, any feedback greatly received :)

    Welcome AM and well done on your first week!

    Massive boo hoo here. Massive. I had been using two different scales and there is a difference of nearly a stone on both. And guess which one is likely to be correct? The heavier one. So I'm going to the chemist during week to weigh in there and start from there again I think.

    Pots how are you getting on?

    Hey girls!
    I'm great amn't I - joining up & then not being on! I have been following mfp though and am 9 lbs down since I restarted in January.
    Welcome AM & well done on week1. I find 1200 too restrictive to be honest as I found it doesn't allow for any treats/takeaway nights. So I aim for 1500 a day and consistently lose about 5-6 lbs per month at that. I felt that for me it was more sustainable than the lower number!

    Deer wedding that's really annoying about the scales :-( I hope the true number's somewhere between the two so you're not too discouraged.

    OK, I've been bad at weighing in here but I'm glad to report that I'm now down to 192.2... I know it's slow but I'm not finding it bad now that I've upped my daily allowance to 1430... The bit of exercise really helps and I started the 30 day shred this morning...

    Hopefully I can average around the 1lb a week and keep this going long term...

    Well done to all of you who have been sticking with this. I have to say I'm loving MFP :)

    Well done amc! You're doing great. The key I think is just keep going and don't think "it's only a pound" - it all adds up! I'm down 60 lbs + since having DD2 a year ago and found mfp just brilliant - it works and is sustainable because you're not on any fad diet and just making some better choices with food & portions. I also find it motivates me to exercise so that I can "earn" more calories!! One other very nice thing I find with mfp is that I feel no guilt enjoying the odd takeaway/glass of wine/meal out because I know that I can balance it out over the week. Best of luck and keep going!

    Well done Cypress, thats a great loss.
    Deer - did you manage to get to the chemist, thats a pain but you still have lost the same amount so focus on how well you are doing.
    I had the last of baby weight to lose so I am down 9lbs now since I started, half a pound to go til I reach goal.
