Time to stop the wait and lose the lockdown weight instead

[Mojo1982]

Hi,I was 5k fit at the start of lockdown,did family walks every day up to june then got Summer holiday lazy and now have put on 8lbs in 5months...running again,slow but steady, fitness programme to fit my morning routine with 2 wee ones starts this weekend and healthier eating habits have begun. Aim to lose half a stone at least by Christmas, so 11wks to lose 7lbs...anyone else similar?

Hello and welcome Mojo1982,

I see that Lytham has already jumped in and invited you to join the Autumn Challenge, she is very supportive and chatty and you will find lots of people taking part

If you haven't already, please take the time to read the Welcome Newbie post, this will help you to navigate the forum, which is best done using the full website and not the app.

Please also take a look at all of the Challenges, Clubs and Events that we have, to help to keep you motivated and engaged with the forum.

The above link will take you to all the information you need. Participation is key to success and I would recommend that you at least join the Daily Diary and a Weigh In day of your choice. Although you may take part in the Autumn Challenge, we would still encourage you to join a weigh in day of your choice, so that once the challenge has finished, you will still have a familiar group of people who will still support you and welcome your support in return

As a peer to peer support group, we all benefit from encouragement and support from one another, so look forward to seeing you join in around the forum

If you haven’t already taken it, here is a link to a tour of the forum,

Wishing you the best of luck on your weight loss journey

Hi Mojo I was on track. .I then met a friend I have not seen for a year. . On Monday we set off to cycle the 80 mile Morecambe Bay cycle way. Absolutely beautiful scenery and interesting cycle tracks and roads through pretty villages all the way round. However I drank lots of beer had fish and chips sausage butties chocolate bars and finished with a Chinese takeaway and wine laAt night !

Back on it now I am going to do Sober October for Macmillan Cancer. I have also joined the Autumn Challenge to lose 7 lbs by 22 December problem is Ill have put loads on since I signed up for it last week !

Good luck with your weight loss journey
