Badges to encourage weight loss.

β€’16 Replies

Hi everyone,

Well it's that time of year when someone is giving up something for their health or wealth, so as we have many members who want to lose weight we are going to offer weight loss badges to encourage anyone who would like to join in.

Badges from 2Kg to 10Kg and 5Lbs to 25Lbs are available so far but we are open to requests for others.

If any of you have suggestions for other badges then please say as this is your forum for all things healthy eating and we want your input.

Thank you,

Jerry 😊

Can’t wait to start earning my badges! Once I start losing ...😊

That's a fantastic idea Jerry and that will certainly encourage those who are on a weight loss journey.

Maybe those going through the journey could share hints, tips and recipes that are working for them?

A good one.πŸ‘

Thanks Alicia thats a great idea about sharing tips and hints as many seem to diet put the weight back on so their weight yo yo's when really a new sustainable diet is whats called for.

I don’t want to swap my badge as the prediabetic one reminds me I can never go back to the way I ate before, but I’m up for discussing weight loss with others, to support them and might also pick up more ideas for myself.

I yo-yo-ed up and down the same stone for years and the sustained weight loss only really clicked when I had a specific health goal (reversing prediabetes).

So last year I lost just over two stone instead of one, and apart from a couple of pounds over the festive period have kept it off this time.

I’m now starting to chip away at my last bit of excess weight, I have 12lb to get to a healthy BMI and would like to lose a few more lbs below that to give me a little maintenance leeway, so about another stone to go. I expect this to take several months because I find it more sustainable to eat at a small calorie deficit so I still get all my necessary nutrients and have enough energy to keep active and cope with a busy workload.

Good luck to everyone starting, restarting, or continuing with their weight loss journey. πŸ€πŸ˜€

Hey very well done you Fran182716 I think that you deserve a medal, I think that you've proved that you can do it enjoy the festivities and now on with your target which's in sight and like you say there's no rush.

I hope this inspires others.
