55lb lost since June 25th

[Donron]

55lb lost since I started my weight loss journey on 25th June, 40lb of which has been lost since joining the GP referral scheme at the Local gym on 22 July. Thanks to the instructors and mentors; to Gym staff; and to Senior Spin and “Fit for Life” classmates for support, encouragement and motivation👏👍👏. Weight loss attributable to balancing calories in vs calories expended and keeping to a deficit of at least 500 a day. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables and no bread and few cereals. Always having good breakfast usually 2 eggs, 2 tomatoes and semi-skimmed milk latte with no sugar. 3 fitness classes a week and 5 sessions of at least 1 hour in gym a week involving strength and cardio equipment.

Well done, a good amount, keep it up!

Another 55lb to go to get to a healthy weight😰💦😰

[Diana in reply to Donron]

So on average another 55 weeks, break it done into chunks, your life must be so much easier already, so use that to spur you on

[Donron in reply to Diana]

Hoping that it does not take 55 weeks as aiming for loss of at least 2 lb a week. This is progress since joining GP referral scheme :

I used 55 weeks as an average of 1 lb week, I hope you prove ne wrong, tho I guess it deoebds on how calorie wise you aim for

1lb a week average would be a healthy and steady rate Donron

Hello Donron , I've replied to you on the weigh in post asking about your total weight loss and I see it here I will find you a 3 stone 7lb badge and no doubt you'll be asking for a 4 stone one very soon

wow that's very impressive congratulations on your weight loss- have you reached your target weight or do you have a bit longer to go?

[Donron in reply to RG07]

Wish I had😀! I’ve a long way to go as still have to loose another 55 lb to reach weight that is recommended for my height😀😰😱. The last time I was that weight was almost 50 years ago.

[RG07 Maintainer in reply to Donron]

I’m sure you will get there
