Eighty By Easter! ~ A Pledge!
 

I'm currently at 72lbs off, with 28 to go to my first target. The aim is to try and maintain at that weight for a few months - maintenance is my big failure! - and then maybe go for another 20 off.

On Christmas Day I was 169.8lbs; today I am 166.5lbs - I've fiddled around, going up and down the same few pounds, so have re-committed today. So I'm aiming to lose another 8lbs by Easter (quick google to see when that is, Ah! March 27th), that's 7 weeks. I can do this!! (but it maybe helps to have pledged it in print..... :angel: )

Phew. Stuck to plan yesterday, and have dropped 2lbs weight overnight. I know it will mostly have been water I was retaining due to my crappy eating choices but still, if I hadn't tied a knot in the rope at that point, it soon would have been fat, then fatter, then fattest.

It's also Eight By Easter - I'm aiming to lose 8lbs - so if anyone would like to join me, feel free!!

06 February: 166.5
07 February: 164.3

Hi Rosinante, you've done an amazing job! Just wanted to let you know we're cheering you on!

Thank you, Candidcamster, that means a lot !! :D :D :D

Things moving along nicely!! :carrot:

just popping in to say great work! looks like you're well on your way :)

VickieLou, yay! Thank you for joining me :carrot:
fillupthesky, thankyou for the praise!! You're doing well yourself! :angel:

I recognize that, VickieLou! You've done so well, though, and past the halfway mark, so you're doing something right!

I'm in a strictish phase at the minute, and have nothing in the house that I Could eat in a stress eating scenario (it's all raw stuff). On the other hand, I'm that way because I'm slightly in fear-of-food mode, and that ain't good either!1 :)

You're doing incredibly well, Rosinate! keep up the amazing work :)

Squeaky Thank you, I appreciate it!

VickieLou Good luck on de-binging the house!!

I'm over the moon today - have made it to 159.5!! It must be 10 years since I weighed that little :carrot:

Thank you, VickieLou :angel:

It's been a bouncy old week! I regained 2lbs, lost, bounced back, but now am a bit farther - a tiny bit - into the 150s. I've also lost 1.8% bodyfat this week, which I'm pretty pleased about. :angel:

How you doing, VickieLou? :)

Congrats, Rosinante for all of your hard work paying off! You are so close to your goal and Easter is still four weeks away!!!

:cp:

Thankyou, VickieLou and TrixieCatLax - yay for all of us for keeping on trying! :carrot:

Help me! I'm drowning in carbs!

Needing a swift kick, I think :)

OK, VickieLou, hand in hand we go!! :angel: :angel:

Rosinante, you're doing amazing! Congratulations on breaking into a new decade! You're so close to your Easter goal!

Everyone else is doing awesome, too! Great work, guys! Wow!

Back and re-pledging! I had a great week in London with my Signifcant It's-Complicated, and although I put on a couple of pounds, it wasn't too bad. However, since I got back on Friday I've inhaled every carb and sugar in sight - scary how easy binging is! - so back to a hard core diet today to try and break the habit. Onwards!

Go for it, VickieLou! We can do this!!

Penny105 - Thank you for the encouragement! It really helps! :carrot:

VL, you're doing Very Well!! Well done!!

I ate a piece of cake with frosting, 2 easter eggs with buttons, a couple of cookies and a few mini eggs as well as a bowl of curry and rice. Heyho. It's going to be a bit of a tough call, this 80 by Easter!!

Good luck to you too, VL!!

I ate far too many carbs yesterday. I've binned the granola. It's a weird feeling when the mojo goes. I think I'm going to have to go back to ultra strict, I really don't cope well with trying to eat a bit more variety in moderation. :dizzy:

Hey, you've still lost more than you've got left to lose, the balance is tipped in your favour!



I've been away all over Easter in London, and, although I've walked over 50 miles, I've eaten a lot too. No scales, so I'll weigh tomorrow, and start a new pledge. I'd originally planned to get to 100lbs off before I had a phase of seeing what I could "get away with" without losing more or gaining a lot, looks like I've had it already! Onwards and downwards from tomorrow; today there is cheesecake for tea, then my holiday ends.... :)
