Better be quick!

I'm not eating anything for the rest of today or for breakfast tomorrow! I'm also getting up early and have my scales next to my bed along with my pc which I will be leaving on all night signed into this forum on this thread!! It's a dead cert, as far as I'm concerned. I have everything covered (11stone, here I come!) 😛
 
HAHA -Was hoping I could just top it but I have lost only another 0.6lbs since Friday and think I will keep that til next Friday!:D
 
If we combine my 0.6 and your 0.4 though Andy???
No..best leave it for a true 1lb loss!:D
 
well done to everyone who has lost weight this week. the scales are still stuck for me and no weight-loss..... again!!!

no idea what is wrong.... as I'm keeping the fat off my plate.... eating lots of green veg..... definately no cakes and biscuits. really don't know why my weight has stuck for the last few weeks.

I need to shift some as I'm due to go to the DSN for HbA1c and cholesterol tests very soon and she will make me get on the scales 😱

Well, since my last loss, 2lbs has mysteriously attached itself to me! No idea why, I've been pretty good too (well, apart from Monday, but that was hardly 2lbs worth of naughtiness!).

I did do a bit of rowing yesterday and have been drinking loads (not for any bad reason, I hasten to add!), so perhaps it's a combination of things.

If you're doing all the right things, then take it that your body is getting rid of the fat and replacing it with nice healthy muscle! That's what I'm assuming for the mo! 😉

Its that dreaded 'plateau' Macast. We all hit it and especially after doing well for so long. Keep at it - its nothing you are doing wrong - and hopefully you will get a nice surprise when you least expect it!

Are you sure your exercise pattern and portion sizes haven't wandered at all - if you are sure then just keep at it! You are doing so well.

Andy - it probably is that you are so close to your goal that you will have these little ups and downs. I wouldn't worry as i know you - it will be off very soon I should imagine!:D

Yes 1lb went whoosh this morning! I'm hoping that by the end of the week I'll be back where I started, but to be honest I'm pretty sanguine about it all now.

Anyway, just a reminder that the current group loss total is still

10st 13lbs
 
Don't hate me Andy but I lost 1lb this week so the total is:

11st 0lb
 
Fantastic Margb - and great to see you are still popping in!
That last stone came off very quickly folks! Lets see if we can do it again!
 
:-(

Gained 1lb this week - so back to square one
 
I have amended my target at Slimming World and have 1lb to go to reach it. Then the battle of maintaining it begins. I need to tone up and then in 6 months will start the weight loss again to get to my real target.
 
well done Marg

Cat dont get to disheartned draw a line under it and start again

HI Catareta,

Have you done anything different this week to last week? Are you eating correct portion sizes (its so easy for them to increase isn't it).Are you exercising? Please keep going with it, it will come off as long as you are sticking to everything - it may surprise you when you least expect it.🙂

Sounds like a very good plan MargB to me! Its an interesting point you make about maintaining. We spend so long trying to get to our goal and fool ourselves into thinking once we get there it will be easy - but maintaining can be just as difficult as losing! Good luck with it, I am sure you will be fine.🙂
 
Well only 1lb loss for me this week!

Target loss: 4lb
Actual loss: 7lb (in 2 weeks)
Varance to target: +3lb


The interesting thing is my PT is measuring my body fat too and was astounded that I had reduced my body fat by 5.2% in one week! Can anyone explain exactly what this means and could it be a reason I have only lost 1lb, I would of liked 2!:D

I am still on target for my 2 stone loss in 14 weeks though so still happy!🙂


Total Group Loss: 11 stone 1 lbs

Well done Lucy 🙂 I suspect that the reduction in body fat not seeming to correspond to a small weight loss means that you are 'toning up'. Muscle fibre is denser than fat, so the same weight is carried in a smaller area. It's why athletes like rowers can be technically obese on the BMI scale, but without an ounce of fat on them!

All that exercise is paying off! Because you are building and toning muscle, you will actually be burning more fat even at rest, because of the increase in your metabolism 🙂
 
Well done lucy and Marg.

This week I have lost another 1.5 lbs, so...

Total Group Loss: 11 stone 2.5 lbs
