Well done on your loss so far and good luck with your target - an ambitious one I would say but even getting halfway there would be a fantastic result :)

It all sounds like a good plan 😃. It's a big target, why put yourself under that pressure ?? Is there a big event happening ??

Continue to enjoy your journey, it's not how long it takes slow and steady wind the race😃

That is a big target, taken me just over the year to lose 6 stone. I think the biggest problem with rapid weight lost is rapid weight gain when you reach your target, I've done yo - yo before and it can be a real downer, but stay on here these guys have a wealth of very useful advice and are very friendly and helpful.

Good luck on your journey and I hope you reach your destination.

Six stone in total by the summer and you've already lost three - I'd say that was possible.

Well done on the loss to date; such a fantastic achievement. I've always found it tough to shift that last stone. Good luck.

That's awesome. No better reason to lose weight and get fit. Looking forward to hearing about your journey.

Hi robbery I was just teasing you ,

When I said you look young.

Your weight loss is amazing , absolutely well done.

I have discovered that by having some hand weights on the little table

At the side of my arm chair, I keep picking them up, I do a few mins exercise then put them down , then a bit later same again.

As you know fat turns to muscle which weighs heavier but it then increases your metabolism so even when you are relaxing you are losing weight, it's. Better than the gym for me as I have fm s .

So don't always feel well enough to go .

Hi I go to slimming world as well - I'm a total convert, I go every week and have lost my first stone last week. The whole plan is a revelation to me, Id like a statue of Margaret miles- bramwell in my back yard so I could go and bow down to it every morning ! - well maybe that's an exaggeration !! But its a wonderful plan, and I'm aiming to shed another 4 stone this year 😊
