Weight Loss Thread

[Missy D]

Got on the scales at the gym this morning. After they said 'One at a time please' It read 8 Stone

8 Stone I weigh 9!

If you look on the scales at the gym it should say rough weight for your height and frame. I should weigh approx 9st 8lb.. Since going to the gym more regularly i have gained over half a stone. So dont go by what the scales say go by how you feel and how toned you are! I am told that muscle weighs more than fat anyway so i hope my increase in weight is toning of muscles etc

weekly weigh -in

Last week was 13stone 5 1/2lbs

this week 13 stone 1 1/2 lbs.

So 4 lbs lost ( or used )

Exercise ( gardening) and going up and down ladders seems to be working. Eating less rubbish probably has a lot to do with it as well.

Hi John
Taking a leaf out of your book - I'm publically announcing that I HAVE to lose some weight! Galvanized into action by the fact that when I put my dress on for the Beath Ballroon on Saturday I was shocked and horrified to discover that it had become a "wee bit nippit"! (Hope not too many people noticed!) So - I don't know what I weigh - nor do I really want to know - I'll know that I'm losing inches by my clothes becoming looser. So starting today I'm being good. Watch this space.
Where were you on Saturday then?

weekly weigh-in


Last week,

13stones 1 1/2 lbs

This week

12stone 9 1/2 lbs

so 6 lbs lost

Lots of exercise - DIY, and two (biggish) meals a day and a small lunch.

Have decided to see if I can get down to 11 stones 4lbs - so only 19 1/2lbs to go.

6 lbs in a week is a lot! Go steady there....

My weight is much the same - still around 20 lbs lost and finding it really easy to maintain .

[angelique]

To everybody who is trying to lose weight, give up smoking and lose weight etc etc cos it isn't the easiest of things to do!

I have battled with my weight for years and I do agree that it is about changing lifestyle, ways of thinking, approach to food etc as opposed to any drastic starvation thing!

So, I've began to acknowledge and accept that I'm made to have curves...why can't everybody else??

Choccie anyone?

Decided to seriously do something about it. Today, was 18 stone 3lbs. So down 11lbs. Just another 73lbs to go then!

I think I realise what my problem is , its not what you weigh its the 'mind set' you have

My life style change (I lost a stone before christmas ) hasnt lasted and my weight is creeping back up.

Im going to pretend i once weighed 4 tons and hence at 15st 6lbs god ive lost a loads and loads of weight

[janey]

Only 2 pounds left to go to my weight watchers target

But as a typical woman I still have a weight problem - before I lost weight I had nothing to wear as everything was too tight, now I've nothing to wear as everything is too loose!!!

Oh well - excellent excuse for a new dress for the BFG

This morning, 17 stone, 10lbs. Down another 7lbs this week. Feeling pretty happy

(Of course, 8 hours of teaching helped at the weekend - except for all the people who kept offering me cakes, chocolate and other such stuff. But I resisted. And cried!)

I have a similar problem!! I have only 3 pounds left to go to my Weightwatchers target.
None of my skirts and trousers fit me either, everything is hanging off me!
Still, I suppose it's an excuse to make myself a couple of new pairs!!
Unfortunately,most of my tops still fit me but that was the reason I had to lose weight in the first place.
Hopefully, when next I see my surgeon, I will have a date for my op!!!

this week 12stone 5 lbs

It has been a stressful week, as my house is finally on the market, and I tend to eat more when stressed. A 1/2lb loss is better than no loss at all.

Only 15 lbs to go to reach 11stone 4lbs
