I would say thats a good almost maintain Veganlass. I would be happy with that!🙂
 
well done MargB and veganlass 🙂
 
O dear its all going very wrong

Well done everyone

O dear its all going very wrong.

I have put on 3 pounds this week. 😡

I wish the motivation I had before Christmas would return. I put half a stone on over Christmas and all I seem to be doing now is messing about with the same few pounds each week sometime loosing them and then the next week putting them back and sometime just staying the same. So I now need to loose 3 pounds again to get back to my pre Christmas weight.😡


I have just completely wasted the last 4 months .

Come Mr Motivator come back to me 🙂

12st 7.5lbs
 
As I'm sure the others would say Sheilagh, just draw a line under it. Now you have to imagine a nicely oiled up Mr Motivator saying "work harder" 😛

I've held this week.

Hi Sheilagh - it sounds to me like you need a short term goal. How about setting a 4 week goal and doing all you can to stick to it. Don't make it too hard say 1lb a week and then after 4 weeks set another goal. Make sure you plan and shop appropriately and kick your bum to do it. Then after each short goal is met allow a little treat and then straight back on it? What do you think?

By the way we don't deduct from the Group total when you put on - you just don't post again until you are below your lightest if that makes sense.

So total group Loss:

12 stone 10 1/2 lbs
 
Just 1lb off this week - but I have had a hubby birthday and work meal so quite pleased with that. Also not got in the gym as much as having to look after my mum this week!

Target loss was: 8lb
Actual loss: 13lb (in 4 weeks)
Varance to target: +5lb

Looking to have another good loss this week.🙂

Total Group Loss 12 stone 11 1/2 lbs

Sounds like a good plan Lucy. 1lb a week it is come on Sheilagh you can do this. 😉 Going to up my exercise this week and make sure I get at least a 30 minute walk every date.

Sorry didn't realise that we didn't add our losses see you in 4 pounds time hopefully sooner rather than later.

Well done on your loss Lucy 🙂
 
Well done MargB, Lucy and Veganlass I think only putting on 0.5lbs when you have been away for a few days is a result - well done 🙂

I Know how you feel Sheilagh I have put on 14lbs in the last 6 weeks... I had completely lost my mojo...

Please please dont give up and you have not wasted the last 4 months as you could have piled the weight on.

I am on day 3 of being back on track so it can be done. Dont think about the negativity of the weight going on... Just concentrate on loosing a lb a week and any more is a bonus 🙂 (((hugs))) xxx
 
Thanks Carol

It so hard at times isnt it🙂
 
I put on 3.5lbs on Saturday but as I am bloated with totm I am not that worried about it. I have been fully back on track since Saturday so it is one day at a time :D
 
Sorry that it's been quite a long time since I dropped into this site but have been rather tied up with life! I'm afraid that for the moment my joy at living life again - which includes loving cooking, wine and champagne - together with not exercising much whilst I'm recovering, has got in the way of weight loss. I would, however, like to say a massive well done and congratulations to everyone who is continuing to lose weight. Once I'm able to start swimming and walking Susie dog more (and lost the weight I've put on :ek🙂 I will hopefully be able to start posting on here again about my weight loss
 
I think we've hit a collective brick wall here! I'm still working my way thru a munching phase!

Well, I'm going to give the munching a rest for a bit now and get down to losing the 7lbs which have reattached themselves to me!

The start of that will be a 10k row this evening (I think I feel up for it now!).

Andy 🙂
 
Stayed the same this week😱

Target loss was: 10lb
Actual loss: 13lb (in 5 weeks)
Varance to target: +3lb

Still above target for my 2 stone loss by June 25th though, so not panicking yet. Also did a bit more exercise this week, so need to consider whether doing too much!🙂

Fingers crossed for next week🙂

Thats a shame Lucy, as I know how hard you have been working but as you know our bodies are very strange things... onwards and downwards as the saying goes! xxx
 
Keep on going Lucy, I think we all get times when the loss seems to stall for a while.

After a week with no change I'm very hopeful of some downward movement this week.
 
I've lost 1 lb this week, so...


Total Group Loss 12 stone 12 1/2 lbs

Hopefully everyone else gets a nice loss this week.
