Here we go - the final weigh-in! 1st Nov: 138lbs 8th Nov: 136lbs 15th Nov: 136.5lbs 22 Nov: 133.6lbs 30 Nov: 130.5lbs Total loss: 7.5lbs, yay!

Now I'm in my initial goal range (weighed in at 133.6 this morning) I think I will likely want to go a bit lower. I have a small frame (been in denial about this for ages but it's true!) so this weight doesn't look as good on me as it might on others. 125 is still my main goal but I may re-assess once I'm there and try to…

Hi all, I gained last week but lost this week, yay :) Now at 133.6lbs from a starting weight in this group of 146lbs, so I only have 1.6lbs to go to reach my 1 stone goal! As others have said, it's getting much harder as we get closer to the holidays. I've had 2 parties in the last 2 weeks and there's a week in December…

1st Nov: 138lbs 8th Nov: 136lbs 15th Nov: 136.5lbs 22 Nov: 133.6lbs 30 Nov: 4.4lbs down this month - hope I can shift that last 0.6!

I don't have any pics yet, sorry, but I've lost around 43lbs so far (from 178 to 135). My goal is currently 125 but I might lower it to 120 (or even 115!) when I get there - it depends on how I look. I have never been 125 before so don't know how it will suit me. I chose it as a goal because it's well into the healthy BMI…

1st Nov: 138lbs 8th Nov: 136lbs 15th Nov: 136.5lbs 22 Nov: 30 Nov: Gained half a pound :sad:

For me it's around 20lbs per size so far.

Hope everyone is doing ok :) I just realised I am now 10 pounds down from my official starting weight in this group, so I only have four pounds to go until I've lost that stone! Hurray! It's getting harder every week though as we get closer to Christmas. I have a party this weekend, a party next weekend, plus Birmingham's…

1st Nov: 138lbs 8th Nov: 136lbs 15th Nov: 22 Nov: 30 Nov: 2 pounds exactly - whoop! Very pleased, especially as I binged at the weekend. Still got 2 parties this month though, plus the German Christmas market is coming to town so there is a lot of temptation about!

I'm not into most of the pop stuff they play on mainstream radio really, but the ones I really hate are Katy Perry, Rhianna and Adele (I know everyone loves her but her voice just grates on me).

My boobs have shrunk SO much, and they weren't even big to begin with :sad: They look terrible now.

Ugh, but they're soooo GOOD! I had three gin and tonics and two pints of sweet cider last night. Whoops.

I'm aiming for a comfy UK 12 which I think is equivalent to a US 8-10. I'm currently a 14.

Yes, and it's ridiculous because my BMI is only 24.something and I'm a UK size 14 so I'm still on the large side. It seems to be mostly from much slimmer people though for some reason, even though when I reach my goal I'll still be 2-3 dress sizes bigger than them!

That is totally the right way to be approaching things! I have tended to do the same - tell myself that because it's the holidays I can just go wild for the whole period, not just at the actual parties... If I try to eat well and exercise during my own time then hopefully the damage caused by indulging at social events wil…

The first one that came to mind was Zero by Lamb: There's no one here today 'Cause someone took the light away There's nothing in my heart Don't think I could even start to explain I can't stand the pain of losing something so much a part of me Though in reality you were hardly there in my heart, in my heart You were…

I am really struggling with willpower at the moment. Traditionally I binge and party pretty much solidly from Halloween through to New Year and I'm finding it hard not to fall back into that pattern. I have parties every weekend and there's just something about this time of year that makes me want to eat, drink and be…

Here we go then! 1st Nov: 138lbs 8th Nov: 15th Nov: 22 Nov: 30 Nov: Goal for this month: 133lbs. I think that's pushing it, to be honest, but I'll do my best! 135 would be ok.

I don't know really. I'm at around 24.6 at the moment and I'm still pretty fat, so I think I could get significantly lower without looking too thin or unhealthy. I'm aiming for around 22-23 though, to start with.

I don't currently have children and I don't know if I will ever want them. I have always thought "sure, someday when I'm ready", but I'm now married and nearly 30 and don't feel any closer to being ready than I did when I was a teenager! It's getting pretty tough as my husband is very much ready to be a dad and it's…

1st Oct: 144.8 8th Oct: 142.4 15th Oct: 142.0 22nd Oct: 138.9 29th Oct: 137.3 TOTAL LOSS: 7.5lbs Very pleased with that actually. I'm cheating a bit by taking today's result as my official final weigh-in, because I'm going to be partying hard tonight and the scale will definitely be up for a few days afterwards! Should…

I'm up for the challenge! Will check in with my starting weight on Tuesday :smile:

Coheed & Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade

When I'm avoiding alcohol I drink low-calorie tonic water or bitter lemon. Good luck with giving up booze for a month - I did that for August and it was HARD but worth it :smile: Also, I'm pretty sure cider doesn't have anywhere near 1000 cals per bottle, unless it's a REALLY large bottle! Cider is my favourite treat and…

Good work everyone who's losing - keep it up! There's still plenty of time til christmas to shift a few more pounds :) I decided to celebrate my great loss last week by going out and getting roaring drunk, consuming more than my goal calories in cider alone, and scoffing a huge bacon sandwich at 3 in the morning…

I do 2-3 zumba classes a week plus a couple of hours of home workout DVDs (just finished 30 Day Shred), and I try to get in a brisk 20 minute walk on my lunch break most days :)

You can do it!

Thanks for the replies everyone - I think I might try to get them all into my rotation :)

Thank you everyone! Managed it mainly by starting to exercise (I used to do NONE), cutting down on my alcohol intake, avoiding bread, potatoes, pasta etc and watching my calories :)

1st Oct: 144.8 8th Oct: 142.4 15th Oct: 142.0 22nd Oct: 138.9 31st Oct: Had a crazy week! I was UP from last week until Monday and since then have just had a major "whoosh". I think I was just retaining a lot of water. Whatever it is though, I'll take it! Im at 5.9lbs lost this month now :) SO pleased to be into the 130s!
