Super Saturday Weigh-in - 11 March

236 Replies

Welcome to our Saturday weigh-in. It is my first time posting so I hope I get it right. Many of us are having health firsts be it joining the forum, posting for the first time, a first visit to the gym or those first weeks of a new way of viewing food. All those firsts are a great step towards a healthier lifestyle which you should be very proud of.

We hope that you've all had a good week and are pleased with the results on the scales. If this isn't the case, don't get despondent, weight loss isn't linear and we're all human. Think of where things may have slipped a little. If you're convinced that you've had a squeaky clean week, then take out the tape measure and see if you've lost inches instead. If that fails to satisfy too, then look back to the beginning of your journey and be proud of how far you've come. Progress may be slow, but if you keep the faith and stick to plan, you'll eventually get the results you've been wanting

Our aim today, is to support and encourage, so we ask that everyone responds to at least one other member, ideally the person directly ahead of you on the thread. This is a bare minimum, though and we'd love to see everyone, with their pom poms, cheering as many people as they wish, on as many days as they like

It would make things so much easier for us, if you could state your weight today, how much weight you've lost/gained/maintained this week and your goals for the week ahead. Other than that, feel free to share any details of your week that you like.

The Stats:

MY WEIGH-IN

Last week I weighed 10 st 10.5 ib this week I weigh 10 st 11.5 ib , that's a gain of 1Ib. I was expecting this gain but hope to lose it for next week.

NEWBIES

If you're joining this weigh-in group for the first time today, then please introduce yourself and share your starting weight (if you feel comfortable doing so) and your initial weight loss goals. Setting yourself mini-goals, leading to your ultimate weight loss goal, is particularly helpful. You could also make a note of your body measurements. Sometimes the scales stick at a particular weight, but there can be body measurement changes which are very motivating. It’s not all about the scales after all – it’s how you feel in yourself.

If you’ve not already seen it, then take a moment to read the ‘Welcome Newbie’ pack, which is a Pinned post (situated on the right hand side of the homepage, or scroll right down to the bottom, if you're using a mobile).

IN THE SPOTLIGHT TODAY: Claz has been doing many sporting firsts in the last few months, she has been inspirational in her commitment to her new gym routine and you can see how much progress she has made in her progress photos. Well done Claire.

Please only use this thread if you're weighing in on Saturday 11 March

Onwards and downwards!

Thank you for hosting the weigh in nteapea 😊 Don't worry about that pesky pound it will soon be gone.

Good luck to all you Saturday weighers 😊

My name is Ian and this is my first weigh in after my first week of my new healthier me.

I started last week at 18st 7lb and have walked to work 3 times this week at a distance of 3.4 mile, I also take my little Labrador out every night and out more on my days off.

I came to the the scales this morning with a sense of apprehension but I was shocked seeing the scales saying 17st 11lb.

I even moved the scales to different parts of the kitchen because I thought it was a mistake but no. I'm shocked how a little change has made a big difference.

Congratulations everyone 😁❤

Hi everyone

I am 11 stone 10 and 1/2 pounds so that means I have lost 1 and 3/4 lb this week. Wanted to be 11 stone 9 1/4 lbs by today for a work do but gained last week. Now the work do has been cancelled - karma!

I want to be 11 and 1/2 stone by the time I go on holiday on 15 th April so a loss of at least a pound this week would be good.

Fingers crossed for eveybodies weigh ins and have a good saturday😄

Morning all

Had a few lovely days away with hubby great healthy food choices, exercise- walking and swimming in spa hotel for hubbys birthday but ..... had a bit of birthday cake last night and scales registering a 1lb gain 14 5 to 14 6 - and whos to blame not the cake I do allow a treat but Mother nature otherwise in SW * week being a woman 😬 !! On monday I know that excess fluid will vanish

But I don't care this morning there's nothing more I can do my clothes have been looking better and I feel wonderful just keep on treking along the journey.

Even though there's a 1lb gain, Kath, your post is wonderfully positive and I know that by next Saturday, it will have gone and taken a friend with it! :)

I started last week at 10 stone 7 but couldn't find where to post. After a huge effort and one slip up today I'm 10 stone 5.6. Weight loss is always slow for me. That's why I struggle to keep going as the rewards are so small. But it's a start. My aim was for 10 stone by Easter but that seems impossible.

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Funty

Hi and welcome to the Saturday weigh-in, Funty :)

You've lost a terrific 1.4lbs, which isn't slow at all, it's exactly the right amount to lose! Well done you! :)

Try not to focus on the end game, because you'll end up feeling disheartened again. Enjoy making wise choices and feeling fitter and healthier, then the weight loss is purely the cherry on the cake :)

Cat33 profile image
Cat33Restart Dec 2023 in reply to Funty

I'm sure you can do it by Easter it's still 4 weeks away You have done really well 😉

orcadiana profile image
orcadiana in reply to Funty

Hello and welcome to the Saturday weigh-in. Losing nearly a pound and a half in your first week is great news Funty and a good beginning to reaching your target at Easter.

I find it easier to think about losing 1lb or so each week rather than the final goal, which can sometimes seem too much of a challenge as I'm 18st 3lb. If you stick with the healthy eating and taking extra exercise (I walk to/from work some days each week) then you'll soon see the results.

The members in this Weight Loss Community are great, very supportive and will cheer you on. There are lots of recipes and tips available on here too. You might want to have a look in the Healthy Eating and Couch to 5K communities which both help support our weight loss.

All the best for the coming week!

in reply to Funty

Great result! I totally agree with other posts look at mini targets and celebrate each success. I felt like you last April , thinking I will never get there at this rate..But just thought 1lb at a time is still better than slowly gaining. I'm now down 53lbs and now in 25 BMI range!

AtalantaX profile image
AtalantaX in reply to Funty

Well done Funty, 1.4lb is a good loss. Keep your willpower strong. You are not far away from 10st.

Have a good week.

Fran182716 profile image
Fran182716 in reply to Funty

Hi Funty, a 1.4 lb loss in a week isn't slow it's good, well done! I know some people like to have an exact weight goal to motivate them, but different things motivate different people, would it help to aim to feel healthier and a bit more comfortable in your clothes by Easter? As that can be achievable wether you lose a couple of pounds or a bit more ? 😀

orcadiana profile image
orcadiana

Good morning, Saturday Superstars and a great start to today's weigh-in. There's 1lb less of me - am now 18st 3lbs but am feeling there's a lot less of me for some reason. Managed extra exercise this week (including an hour of Tai Chi on Tuesday) and 12500+ steps on Wednesday.

One of my colleagues also remarked that he thought I'd lost weight. As I haven't told anyone at work of my 2017 challenge to reach a healthy BMI it was a nice boost to have the difference noticed :-)

Good luck everyone with your weight losses, onwards and downwards!

in reply to orcadiana

Well done orcadiana it's great you are feeling so good and enjoying extra exercise it's a real boost - I think the buzz from getting out and being active is a huge help in reframing how we feel about ourselves x

orcadiana profile image
orcadiana in reply to

Thanks Hidden . It's so much easier getting out and about now there's daylight at both ends of my working day. I've moved into town and really miss the countryside, finding the air pollution from vehicles is horrible too. However, it's only for a couple of years and hope to be a lightweight when I move on :-)

Not a clue what happened there as I am only eating carbs for breakfast and I haven't eaten yet this morning

Hi GosportNancy. How annoying for you. But you were there & I'm sure that you'll get there again.

AtalantaX profile image
AtalantaX in reply to GosportNancy

Perhaps you're not eating enough calories and your body is playing tricks with you...or it's getting used to the exercise you are doing - maybe mix it up for next week?

Keep your willpower strong and I am sure you will see a loss next week, think of this week as a minor blip in a downward journey.

GosportNancy profile image
GosportNancy in reply to AtalantaX

Lol...what exercise?...the most walking I do is when I nip out to the local co-op about once a month. Otherwise I am resting or pottering about indoors as I am not well enough to do housework. We pay someone else to do that.

I have made goals for this year and I'm not too far off track

Oh sorry GosportNancy I didn't realise you weren't well when I mentioned exercise.

Morning GosportNancy thats annoying for you, but weight can fluctuate a lot due to water so it's the overall trend that matters, unlikely you gained 5lb of fat in a couple of days!, I'm sure it will be gone again soon x

GosportNancy profile image
GosportNancy in reply to Fran182716

I know you're right about that as I have actually lost a fair bit of fat around my middle. It is the fluid that seems to go up and down.

I've only been back on the low carb eating plan again for a week or so and it will take time to balance out

12st last week, 11st 11lb this week - 3lbs off. When I started my first goal was to lose half-a-stone in time for my hols 4 weeks later but at this rate I might hit a full stone off (started at 12st 10lbs) - so that can be next week's goal.

in reply to Fran182716

My dog used to be like that in the morning s but at night when you were settled down would stand in front of the TV until someone took her for a walk!

Thanks for posting, Nteapea. Today I am 71.0kg which is an annoying gain from last week's 70.5kg. Have done lots of exercise boosted by my new FitBit so am feeling great. But had hard week at work doing ridiculous hours with not enough sleep and have slipped from making a packed lunch every day and planning dinner and healthy snacks to not doing any of that..

Back on track yesterday with packed lunch and five a day etc so my target for next week is to get back to 70.5, SLEEP MORE, and not raid the office vending machine at 8pm...

Have a good week everyone.

AtalantaX profile image
AtalantaX in reply to nteapea

Thank you - it surprised me. But I think it is partly because I have been getting up so early and going to bed so late to meet pesky work deadlines so have just been up and about for more hours than normal. FitBit says average sleep last week was 5hr 25hrs and that includes a long catch up sleep last night. Hope to do better next week!

Fran182716 profile image
Fran182716 in reply to AtalantaX

Morning AtalantaX thats only a tiny gain, and so difficult when you work crazy hours it's really hard to find time to plan and prepare meals, hope things settle down next week x

Hi all fellow weight ins; I have stayed the same weight this week but lost inches. I have had a very trying week due to the fact that we have had the bathroom renewed. So I haven't been able to pay much attention to weighing food this week, but I have lost it in inches maybe due to all the hard work I have done clearing up after the workmen !!!!!!!!

Hi nteapea thanks for hosting! Everyone is going well, we are all still here, still fighting!

Today I have good news. Last week I was 18 stone 1, went away for weekend, put on some but I don't know how much as I avoided the scales.

Today I was 17 stone 13 and 3/4 which gets me into the 17's. Woo hoo! Could I please have my 5 stone badge moreless ? I started in September weighing 23 stone exactly.

Last week I weighed 11/5, this week 11/4 so 1lb loss. 🎉

Tape measure says I've lost another inch... All going in the right direction. Since January 24th weight has fluctuated but weight loss is now a whole 2lbs, but a wonderful 7.5" gone.

Smaller portions and fruit as snacks is helping me.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend and good weigh in...

Lin2303 in reply to Minniewinny

Well Minniewinny - another one bites the dust ! What a fantastic inch loss ... what's your secret ?

Minniewinny profile image
Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer in reply to Lin2303

No secret, I am literally eating everything as normal... but smaller portions, eating 3 times a day (instead of 1 or 2 times) and trying to drink more fluids, 3-4 pints a day which includes 1/2 pint of milk, (I don't like tea or coffee so my drinks are water, squash or milk). Keeping a bowl of grapes next to the kitchen door cut into clusters for nibble moments..

I've just got a spiralizer and am introducing more veggies into our menu, experimental phase at the moment, but having fun. I'm taking it to work on Wednesday for workmates to try out with their veggies/fruits to play with and take home.

My husband is 1lb off his first stone, and I've lost 2lbs... we are both eating the same, except the drinks. Men generally loose faster than women, and he has another inch to loose to reach his goal. We are getting there.. and we've agreed this is for life.. No more king sized and go large portions!!

Lin2303 profile image
Lin2303 in reply to Minniewinny

Good morning everyone x

Thanks nteapea for mentioning me on your post today 😘

Last week i weighed 17st 7.5lbs

This week i weigh the same.. 0 loss

ive been exercising lots this week and feeling a bit stiff today which might be why the scales havent moved. had a PT session on thursday where i did interval training for the 1st time on the treadmill.. she had me running at level 10 for 30secs then i had to jump off and rest then jump back on again.. i was actually running for the 1st time in my life !! yesterdays class we did boxing which again is a new thing for me to try but i do feel it in my shoulders and arms today...

Measurement wise ive lost another 5cm off my waist taking it to a total of 20cm off my waist now since i had them 1st taken in November.

Foodwise ive been good and kept low carb all week.. i did have a glass of wine last night with my steak & sweet potato chips but been good apart from that.

health.. my high blood pressure has come down and the dr has halfed my dose so things looking good on that front too now.

So a good week for me this week really....

Hope you all have a fab week xx

That's great news, George, your scales keeping on heading downwards :-)

It may feel like a long journey lies ahead but I remind myself that it took many years to gain the weight so it'll take a while to lose it (if only there was a magic pill). However, the many steps along the way are where we learn new eating/exercising habits to both lose the weight and keep it off in future - and the longer the journey is, the more we realise a healthy lifestyle is a great feeling and what we want to have. Wishing you all the best for next week!

Morning everyone, wow didn't realise the thread got this busy, I normally post before work on a Saturday but got a whole 9 days off yippee! Forecast looks quite good too so hoping for some lovely dog walks.

I stayed the same again this week, 10 stone 11.5 lbs. if I haven't lost anything else by the end of March I'll have to bring in the big guns ( counting calories lol)

Had lots of my planned salads but maybe too much cheese with them !

I'm sure this is a psychological thing. I'm very motivated to eat healthy foods, small portions of nutritious food ( never been able to eat large portions, gained weight through grazing) motivated to avoid junk food and get outdoors and walk, but struggle with restricting calories in order to loose weight. Maybe it's the thought of "restriction". All the things I'm motivated to do feel positive but restriction sounds negative.

Going to spend some time this week trying to come up with something that can convince my subconscious cutting calories is a positive thing!

Have a good week everyone 😀

AtalantaX profile image
AtalantaX in reply to Fran182716

9 days off whoop whoop - hope you enjoy them!!

I'm the same with not wanting to count calories but having it as potential control measure if portion control, water, fruit and veg, exercise etc don't do the job.

Good luck this week.

EllaMidlands profile image
EllaMidlands in reply to AtalantaX

You don't have to calorie count if you know you are eating less than you need. I haven't counted at all! I just replaced carbs like bread, potato, rice with veg and I cook meat or fish with some onions and spices instead of eating ready meals or processed sauce.

You're quite right there - my mojo deserted me for a couple of weeks and goodness knows why ! I've been back on track for a few weeks now though, and it shows. I haven't set an end target yet - still going one pound at a time. I'm at 18st 3lbs now, so it'll be in the region of 7 or 8st to go....... oh my that's a long way away...... probably why I choose not to focus on it !!

Hi everyone

Sorry so late in posting.

Last week I weighed 11st 10.75lb

This week I weigh 11st 10lb

That's a loss of 0.75lb

I was a little disappointed with that and got out the tape measure. I have lost a total of 7 inches from my waist going from 42 when I started to now being 35. My aim is under 30, no idea if this is possible for me but I'm going to do my best to achieve it ☺

I've got the whole of next week off work yippee! I have trip to Leeds for cocktails planned with a couple of girlies from work for Wednesday so will factor that in.l

My goals for this coming week are

1. To start upping my exercise again and aim for a 3-4 gym/swimming sessions per week

2. To lose 1.5lbs

Well done to everyone this week. We're all doing fantastically well and this forum is so supportive.

A good week,I have lost over 3lbs ,i now weigh 314.4,the fitbit challenge is helping me a lot.

I wasn't able to weigh myself last week but on the 25th February I weighed 11st 10ibs today I weigh 11st 12ibs I think this is because I've been able to have sugar again. I have stopped eating so much bread, and exchanged it for salads or spinach for example I had a poached egg salad for breakfast today instead of in toast, it was a bit weird but tasted nice. I have noticed since I started doing this that I have had more energy meaning I've been wanting to exercise so win/win lol x

Hi Crimson85j the fact you have a 3 stone badge speaks volumes- so I would suggest you keep doing whatever you've been doing to reach that milestone and not look back at the temporary gains, maintains... your body needs time to recover from any procedure and if your not as mobile as you would normally be.. you could be retaining water.. it will shift. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
