Hello Everyone!

I am starting my weight loss journey again tomorrow. I have managed in the past to get to about 13 stone I have now allowed myself to get over the 20 stone mark and I could just cry. This is due to a number of things but mainly being ignorant and ignoring the number on the scales going up up and up.

So as of tomorrow I am starting Slimfast and I am going to try and walk my 10,000 steps a day. I have an office job and also study in the evenings so some days do not even manage to get to 5000 steps, which is just not good enough!

I am going on holiday on the 18th October and am even considering not going if I have not lost some weight as I will just be uncomfortable and miserable.

I hope know one minds but I have decided to post in this forum on this thread when I am struggling/have good moments/weigh in weekly. I feel having physical evidence and a trail of how I am getting on will really help me stay on track (and maybe even some others).

Wishing everyone luck with their own weight loss and heres to a positive start to the week.

Thank You

Rippon

Well done Rippon

7lbs in one week is incredible. You must be feeling so motivated right now

[Rippon1987]

So my 2nd week weigh in was on Monday and I only lost 1lb but it was my totm, so Im hoping for a better loss this week.

So far I have not had any really bad days, which i think is down to the fact that I feel so focused at the moment. I am sure one will rear its ugly head soon!

Hope everyone is getting on ok

I hope it goes well for you.

We all have to start somewhere. I started off at 16st5 and I think I am about 10st7 at the moment. I am on a programme that bans weighing for 30 days and I am on day 25 so who knows how much I am right now

But as long as you start eating healthy you'll go a long way. I found with myself it was feeling healthy and not the number on the scales that mattered. Of course the 70+pound weight loss is nice too

Hello

How is everyone getting on?

Sammy - Did you have your 30 day weigh?

I am currently on a lose of 12lbs, so I have finally seen the next stone, woo!
I am now 19 stone 13lbs, so not great but at least it is going in the right direction

Still feeling fairly motivated so not had too many bad days, lets hope this continues and I can see the next number for my holiday in October!

Yes I did and it wasn't what I wanted I was quite shocked with how bad it was. Over the 30 days I lost just 5 pounds, then had a binge and put most of it back on and now I am back with it and feeling determined.

But even though people do lose 10-20 pounds in 30 days they often have a lot of weight to lose and I am now with a BMI of around 23 so I am finding it hard to lose especially with all the exercise I am doing.

I am wondering if I am building up some muscle?

I really like the idea of only weighing every 30 days! I am doing weekly at the moment but having only seen a pound loss last week, a part of me felt like I should have waited a bit longer to weigh! Hard to know though because it may send me the wrong way in that I think 'oh weigh in isn't for 4 weeks I can have this treat now and it wont show up on the scales!' - my logic is a bit off sometimes!!
