UK Fat Chicks - End Of Jan Target

Hi, does anyone want to join me? Im setting myself a target of losing 8lb by the end of Jan as its my boyfriends 21st and i want to look really good. I think it helps if i set specific targets and helps even more if anyone will join me as the support would be brilliant!! Not gonna woory too much over xmas and new year but come the 1st of jan there will be no stopping me-or at least thats wat i hope! :carrot:

:wave: Hello! End of jan target - to be 11st 10lbs that's my "normal" weight according to the lovely BMI people! So a good mini-challenge it is then! :D

Glad to hear you will join me:carrot: :carrot: my target is 10st 10lb! which is a loss of 8lb (hopefully):devil:

Ill join ya!! The woman at the gym only wants me to lose 1/2 a stone over two months, so end of January should be aiming to lose3 to 4lbs. It will be hard with xmas and my bf's visit!I bet we can do it!
angel in love: the 8lb loss is ambitious, not because it isnt possible, but in my house we have a loads of leftover 'baddies' just waiting to be eaten. Gd luck!

I know it maybe a little ambitious but oh well i can only try!! It will be even harder with xmas in a few days time and i am fond of drinking alot and a box or 10 of chocs:devil: !!oh well we can get there!!!!;)

^_^

I'll join in and I am aiming for a lost of 10lbs for the end of January! :)

WE CAN DO IT!

I'm aiming for 3 kilos (6lbs odd) a month every month in 2006. If it doesn't happen that's ok, but it's good to have goals!!!

I will aim at 11 st 7 (161lbs) by end of Jan, although that might be a bit ambitious, I'm not sure! That's a 6lb loss over a month and I have been known to stall for entire months at a time! It would only have been 4 and a half but I put on 1 and a half xmas day alone....

PhatP x

Good luck to everyone!

I'm in - I'll try and get to 170lbs by end of January.

Janey :p

I will aim for 12 stone which is my normal BMI weight. I have no idea what my start weight will be yet, I'm guessing mid 12s somewhere probably, but hopefully at least some of it will be water...

I want to lost 5 lbs by end of Jan

I'm also going for 5 lbs

I've got 4lb to go, hopefully a target I can meet!

I'm in, I think I'll go for 5 pounds as I'm only just starting and I don't want to be over-ambitious and put myself off :)

I'm in - target is to lose 8lbs by the end of January.

How much do you reckon i've lost?

I weighed myself naked on my mums scales (should have weighed with clothes on I know but it would have depressed me more), which I know weigh the same as boots in town because they were mine before hers. Anyway I'm now 1lb lighter on boots scales than I was on hers but I obviously had my clothes on in boots. I had big baggy jeans and belt and a vest top and long sleeved shirt, took my shoes off though. How much do you reckon my clothes would have weighed. I've gone for a 2lb loss because I'm not sure. What do you think?

i also am going for 5lb:^:

impossible princess, stick to one set of scales to compare, wear similar clothes each time you weigh and weigh at the same time of day. I don't know how much you've lost since I don't know when you weighed yourself on each different scales! :dizzy: But I would say clothes tend to weigh about 1-3lbs

Well so far its not going well. Not lost anything over the xmas/new year period!!still aiming for 8lb loss tho by the end of jan-which isnt too bad as they say 2lb a week is healthy-just need to stick to it now!!:) GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

Plain and simple........

4lbs by end of january. Lets see what I can do! :o

;) Lets get this baby moving!! ;)

:wave: Hi loz ;)

I said I was aiming for a 10lb loss for the end of January and I'll get myself weighed tomorrow (Friday) to see how we did this week!

I have scales at my mums house because she nicked mine so I don't at mine anymore. i would always weigh naked thats what I always do but since mum nicked my scales I can't be bothered to get new ones because they are pricey and I think boots would object if I got naked.

I can't put it down to anything else really, but i've lost 6lbs already. How on earth has that happened!!:carrot:
Erm.....lets up this then. lets say 8lbs by end of January.

Come on Loz you can do it!!!!

Loz x

Can Loz do it? Yes she can!

(Sorry. Side effect of having a toddler who is Bob mad!)

Well done :)

To get back to 196 would be good.

The I can change my current goal to something ab it more exciting for the DH's birthday (1st March).

This year I think I will do month by month: then I don't get to slip a week or two at the beginning "cos I'll catch up later"!!!!

1lb loss this week, very slow but i suppose steady!!;) Well done Loz!!:carrot:

Ha Ha I reached my target for January already.... 11lbs off in the first week :) so I'll resent my target for a 15lb loss. I am sure I can lose another 4lbs in 3 weeks! :)

We have progress! 1lb off, which means I'm now 1/4 of the way there, only 3 more to go...

Oooooooooh girlies I'm up for a challenge. I'm going for 8lbs by the end of January. That would make me either 10 stone or 9 stone 13lbs. Oh god I think I was born weighing nine stone. Please encourage me as things have slowed down lately.

Goodnight godbless

I wasn't feeling well this evening so didn't go to WW :( I'm going to try and find another class this week so at least I can get weighed.

grr, I lost the gain form xmas but nothiong more.. I know Ill end up gaining :'(

There are 3 more weeks of January left... You'll only gain if you want to gain!

I am throwing out my scales (well actually putting them in a cupboard, they were expensive!) and concentrating on exercise and "pantsometer" readings, so I guess I won't really know! :dunno:

There are 3 more weeks of January left... You'll only gain if you want to gain!



This is very true and I need to remind myself of it more often!

I guess so I really want to lose a lb a week to make my targets grr!

1lb to go here!

1lb down, 3 to go!

SO thats about 1 1/2 lb per week - I'll get wriggling!

1lb gone! :):):):):)!
<- ecstatic

Hmm, I've just been in Boots and seen a very nice number on my print out. It's normally fairly accurate, but I want to wait til Monday on the normal scale at the gym before deciding whether to count it as a loss. I'm more hopeful of seeing a nice number now though :D

Everyone is doing very well this month

I'm not doing very well - I haven't lost anything :tantrum: ! But at least I'm back in the saddle!

Ooh a nice number :carrot: :jig:

another 1lb, slowly but surely!!plus i have been cheating a bit-its so hard to get back into things after xmas plus i have still got lots of choc left from xmas!! Everyone is doing really well-keep up the good work!!:)

3lb last week (but that was my first week) so only 2lb to go, weigh in again tomorrow :)

Nice numbers today, very nice numbers :D

2 down, which means I'm 1lb away from having a normal BMI, and in the 160s. I started in the 260s!!!

2lbs total this week

2lb down :)

Pretty gutted only 1lb this week which I think it a bit poor for only the second week :(

Well done YP that is fab :D

How is everyone doing? Not long to go now! I have lost 5lb so far, still got 3lb to loose before the end of the month though!!:)

I made it! (I did set an "achievable" target of 4lb, but it still feels bloody good :D)

Seeing its the end of Jan now, how did everyone do?

Im lost my xmas gain or 3lbs at well as 6 new lbs

I lost my 5 with a week to spare. Haven't weighed yet this week

Well for all my big talk I didn't do my 8lbs. I had that gain that took me to
10 stone 10lbs. However this morning I am now 10 stone 7lbs. Only a three pound loss but I am delighted all the same. Now my Christmas foodfest is just a distant memory I feel back on the road to slimdon again.

Last night my friend gave me a lovely size 12 pair of jeans from Topshop that fitted me perfectly so I am a happy thing. Roll on the nines!!!

Start Weight 14 stone 10lbs
Current Weight 10 stone 7lbs
Target Weight 9 stone 7lbs

Well done to you all for your great losses. Aren't we all the best girlies.

Take care

I made my first target within a week, I then said 20lbs but I am happy at 16lbs down! :)

I managed 11lbs so pretty pleased after my conservative 5lb estimate :D
