Sometimes listing my motivations helps me stay on track. Here’s my current things. 1. I’m running a 10k in October, just before I turn 35. I’m running it in the place I hit my highest weight and could barely walk up the hills. I want to run the whole thing (don’t mind about time). 2. I’ve bought a dress for a friends…

Weigh in day. 160.4lbs So close to 150s now! Quite a few social events this week so just going to try and make sensible choices and log when I’m at home.

Hi Everyone, Can’t believe it’s August already! Weigh in day 161.4 A mixed week. Some really good exercise. Drank on Friday (always leads to eating more the day after, I had a really junk fuelled day on Saturday). The only upside was I was seriously craving veggies the following day and ate really well and meal prepped.…

Sorry, looks like I forgot last week. Weight today is 162lbs. So close yet taking so long to get into the 150s. I know its because I'm fairly happy with my weight now so struggling to keep focused to get that last little way. Seems like the final 10-14 has been in front fo me for ages. Anyone got anything that's helped…

Weigh in day Last week 164.2 Today 163.5 Ok week. Stress still affecting me a fair bit so trying to focus on some self care and sleep a bit better. Aims for this week- get outside for a run, two tkd session, one weight session and we are doing battle archery at the weekend for my partners birthday. Plenty of activity. Go…

This team is so fantastic. Amazing to come home to your supportive messages! Thank you so much. Here’s to an amazing July for TBBT!

Hi Everybody, I’ve not had a great start to the month sorry and am weighing in at 164.2. I’ve had a real wobble with anxiety and stress and had a couple of days comfort eating (meals still fine but snacking a lot) I’m so much more aware of doing this than I used to be though and much better at getting back on track. I know…

Hi Tracie, We’re in really similar positions. I’m 120ish down and aiming for another 14 or so. Happy to support you in this last leg or to help with the transition to maintainence.

Weigh in day 164.7 last week 163.5 this week. I was weighing in lower in Friday but did not stick to plan over the weekend, such a shame! Food prepped for the week. Think maybe I need to schedule in the odd treat to make it more maintainable.

Last week 168.5 This week 164.7 Not sure my gain on holiday was actual weight gain looking at this. I think it may have been travel, slightly swollen legs etc. Happy to be down a fair bit either way though!

Post holiday weigh in. 168.5. Great holiday, lots of walking but lots of extra calories too. Realised how easy it is to drink calories - I just have water, tea and coffee at home but had juice, smoothies, rich milky coffees and wine on holiday. My hip is holding up exercise at bit at the moment so really going to focus on…

Hi Lisa, I'm not going to be able to weigh in on Monday as off on holiday today. I'd be happy to use last week's weight if that's possible (which is the same as I weighed today) or skip a week?

Weigh in day 166.4. Slowly heading in the right direction. Diet was just OK this week. Exervise was pretty good - won bronze for sparring in my tournament and my very scary and usually not complimentary coach told me I'm his favourite to watch at the moment because I've come so far over the last 4 years. Meant a huuuge…

Weigh in day. 166.4 Tiny loss but I have had two days fairly off track. I do find eating out hard both in terms of working out calls and also not giving into temptation.

Weigh in day: 167 Decent week. Busy week ahead until Thursday but meal prep done. Bought new jeans which look so tiny I can’t believe they fit! (Previously size 24+, new jeans are a 12).

I've been looking for a dress to wear to a wedding. Tried on a 14 in one shop. It was too big but there weren't any 12s.tried another shop and thought I'd risk a 12. It didn't look right and the shop assistant said that it was too big and she'd get me a smaller size. I said it wouldn't fit (a 12 is already impossibly small…

I think we maybe in similar positions. I have about 14lbs to go after losing 120. I overdid it in feb and felt exhausted and have eased back a bit (lost only a few pounds in March/ April). Part of me can’t wait to get to target and is finding it really difficult to accept weight loss is slower at this end of things. I’m…

This is my attitude to running too - I keep waiting to get the euphoria other people do with it but for now it’s useful calorie burn and definitely helped make me fitter.

Do you mind if I join this month too? Food: meal prep on a Sunday. Eat what’s on the plan (no buying lunch). Don’t graze in the evenings - stick to pre logged snacks. Exercise: get my minute mile under 10 mins (at 10 mins 40). Compete in a taekwondo tournament on 19th May. Get my deadlifts consistently over 50kg (have…

I think I’m just impatient!

Weigh in day. 168.8 I was weighing in at 167.something most of this week so annoyed with this mornings weigh in. I’m so ready to get into the 150s now! Positives at the moment. Really good week for exercise. I want to get a decent run or two in this week as have a taekwondo tournament coming up. I’m still in the…

Weigh in day: 169.7 A frustrating month as pretty much where I started. However I did slack off so know I can do better. NSV in the form of a taekwondo award this week which shows how far I have come. No excuses this week. I’d like a decent loss to start May.

Amazing work!

Oh dear. I've gained this week: 171.6. It's an awful feeling but honestly, I haven't logged whilst i've been away and exercise has been down. Previously I would have used this little failure as an excuse to really sabotage things but instead, I wanted to remind myself of how far I have come and how much I'm not going to…

I'd like to join too if that's OK. I've lost 115lbs and am having trouble with the last 20-30 I have left. Stress and going back to bad habits are definately having an impact so any support and accountability would be much appreciated.

Sorry I’m late posting my weight. I’ve barely been at home this week which make my usual meal prep impossible. Training hard and making reasonable choices when eating out. My weight from Monday was 169.4. Away for the weekend and then it’s my dreaded on call week but I’ve got to learn how to look after myself outside of my…

This is a really wonderful post thanks Mike. I agree perspective is useful ie. it’s ok to have some days that aren’t great without then getting back into the “oh I had a bad day so I might as well give up” self sabotaging mentality that lots of us know. There’s a really good post in the motivation forum about not needing…

weigh in day. I’ve maintained sorry. 169.9 Totally predictable. Stress getting to me at the moment and not doing my best. April’s really busy so need to find ways to work with it. I’ll do a proper meal prep at the weekend and damage limitation until then.

Weigh in day: 169.9

Unfortunately the place we want to get married hasn’t got a wedding licence yet. They’ve been working on it for a year so we’re just waiting for it to come through and we can get our date booked in. Can’t wait!
