Hi all,

It's that time of the week again! Post here to tell us how you got on!

This week I gained 3lb due to a few stressful events last week but I lost a cm around my waist and legs. Its given me a learning curve as I can see how I can cope with something like this is its happens again. Time to get back on track this week!

How about you?

Hi all,

I'm down 1.4lb this week which makes a total of 14.63lb in 4 weeks since i restarted and 74.4lb down from my heaviest. I'm so pleased, i thought it would take much longer to lose a full stone!! I'm sure it'll get harder from here on though.

Good luck everyone hope you've had a successful week :o)

Thankyou :o)

And well done to you for not giving up. I know what its like sometimes life just seems to conspire against us :o( but it doesnt matter how many times we go off the rails so long as we get back on again. I'm sure you'll have a better week this week, good luck

Yes well done sinope82! I'm going to try and do the same!

I was 211lb last week and have 3/4 stone to loose so it's going to take all summer I reckon.

14lb in 4 weeks? That is so inspiring!! I'm not one for weighing myself too often, but people at work have started to notice, which I take is a good thing!

Wow, 3lbs is a brilliant weight loss and that is some fantastic walking distance. Well done clewis. :) Are you doing c25k as well or some running plan? It's a great way to build up gradually if you want to run.

3lb is brilliant! Well done! Can't run before you can walk as they say hun. It will take time but you'll be there before you know it!

Hi there. I'm pretty new to this site but as I just started afresh last week, today was my first weigh in. Hope it's okay for me to join in? I've got around 4.5-5 stone to lose.

Weight: 226 lbs

Weight lost: 3 lbs

Good luck to all the other 'losers' out there. :)

Just started with 12stones, 12.4 pounds. I did a lot of walking on Friday last week and cycle for 1hr 15min. to work this morning and I will be cycling back home tonight for same distance.

DreamstoReality profile image
DreamstoReality in reply tocerrito

Thats alot of cycling Cerrito. Plenty of good cardio to help burn the weight off. Well done.

I have lost a pound this week, but the most pleasing is the total inch loss around the waist: 3.5 inches since I started. Nice to have clothes fit so much easier around the waist.

I can't help but wonder if I am on a bit of a plateau at the moment as I am pretty spot-on with the diet, fight the post-exercise munchies effectively (mostly). As I have visited this (lack of much weight-loss) little scenario before I am not too bothered but wish it would change soon. With me it seems that weight-loss and inch-loss happens alternatively, seldom simultaneously.

Running is well on track, ran up in northern scotland this past Saturday, along a beautiful river with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. My adopted country has amazing beauty and serenity.

Hi, I started my diet on a Monday 3 weeks ago but thought we were doing Friday weigh-in's? Anyway, last Friday I lost 1 lb, total 4 lbs now :-) a pleasant surprise after an absolutely disastrous week!

DreamstoReality profile image
DreamstoReality in reply toilovedogs

Hey yelenots.

Well done on your weight loss. You've done fab. The admin Steve suggested a Monday weigh in as many people stated that they started on a Monday and that makes sense since the weekly sheets start on a Monday too. Friday's are still up for people who want to do it. Since Steve is on hols he has asked me to post the monday weigh ins for now. Congrats again and keep going.

Sounds a good idea!

Hiya

I got weighed, not really expecting to have lost anything...

Done 3lb, from 211lb to 208lb, really pleased

Got a little emotional in the cool down section of my Body Conditioning class. Really chuffed!! Here's to the next 67lb!!

Hi Jo, Told you you would lose a few pounds! Well Done :-) Going to be difficult week for me as its half term and I'm off work! Tried to stay busy this morning by doing lots of housework!

Looks like we've both got the same amount of weight to lose, lets hope we can give each other inspiration :-) Here's to another 3 lb off this week !!

Inspiring comments here! Thank you for sharing everyone- i've never been on a forum so this is very new to me but reading peoples progress really motivates me! I've finished my first week and only put on .4 of a pound which is quite disappointing with all the exercise i've been doing, but i'm determined to keep more of a check on my food this week coming so fingers crossed I'll be able to join the 'losers' of lbs next weekend!! x

Lost 7 lb this last Monday but have somehow put 3lb back on. Sloppy counting costs lbs me thinks! So disappointed in myself.

DreamstoReality in reply toresearcher-chick

Please dont feel disheartened. We all slip but you have been able to identify where you think you are going wrong and thats great. Take it as a learning curve and use it to focus. You did brilliant losing 7lb so you have already shown yourself you can do it! Next week you will be smiling at the scales again :)

Good morning everyone. I kost 1 lb this week despite doing 8 gym sessions varied strength and cardio. I'm a bit disappointed because my husband has lost 5lbs without any extra exercise. Hopefully it is the fat to muscle ratio change but I've not lost any inches either. I've just bought a Fitbit thing so hopefully it will help. Better luck next week 🤞
