Shed half a stone in March challenge!

oliver2008

Can I join you all for March?? This might just motivate me to start losing weight, I have about two stone to lose all together though, half a stone seems a good starting point!!

Hello, just posted on the Feb thread and forgot to share that I measured myself with tape on Friday and had lost almost an inch off my waist!!!! I was so chuffed!!!!

Weigh in tomorrow morning (see how good I am even though I am tempted to jump on those scales right this minute!).

Welcome to all the newbies, here's to an excellent March!

Hi
Can I join for March please
Starting at 12 stone 4lb.

Morning all!

OK, I waited till this morning to weigh in, here is the result:

Weight 60.4kg (1.1kg or 2.5lbs lost since 1 Feb!) :j
Body fat 26.7% (down from 29.6% on 1 Feb)
Waist 28.2 inches (down 0.8 inches since 1 Feb) :beer:

I am pretty chuffed, even though I didn't make the half stone! Edinburgh involved quite a lot of eating, although I did my best and skipped desserts etc.

So I'm now 9.5 stone. My target for March is the full half stone, if I can be 9 stone (57 kg) by the end of the month I will be very happy.

Today I am going to the gym to get me off to a good start, good luck to all of us!! :j

well done Tara I'm going to walk today again lol my aim to walk approx 20 miles a week to help ditch the 5lb i want this month (that's to and from the city or uni 5 times). Need to get motivation to go back to the workout DVDs! Had an off food day yesterday. not totally obismal but not a great day. it involved ice-cream lol.

Oliver - i would like to ditch another 2 stone in the long run too 11lbs to my first mini target (which would be a total of 2 stone off from my starting point) and then will work on the last 17lbs lol.

I don't understand this----I stopped smoking four and a half years ago(very mse-saved loads for bills and hols etc!) but over the last 3 weeks I have been craving a cigarette! I haven't succumbed and can't really see me doing so but HELP!!!!!!(bad month Feb for weight loss, only 1lb)

Hi everyone!

Well done Rotherham Lass and Tara747 - that's great!!:j

OH gave me such an incentive last night....if I lose a stone we can have a kitten (my Grandad's new stray cat is apparently pregnant :rolleyes:). Now OH didn't give me a timeframe to lose the stone but I'm going to try even harder anyway as it is a good incentive.

Thanks for the kind words aytch, EmmyLou and littleemmie, I didn't hold out much hope after gaining and losing the same couple of pounds all month! The big push last week must have paid off. And also giving up sweets, obvious as it seems. It looks as if Lent is going to be good for weight loss! Now I know anyone could tell you that giving up sweets and biccies would shift a few lbs, but sometimes I do need to be reminded of such things.

Today I am going to be sooooo good! I really really want to shift half a stone in March.

lucyhope, don't give in to the craving! Maybe some exsmokers can give you some tips? p.s. don't sniff at the 1lb loss, it is still progress xoxoxo

littleemmie, what an incentive!!! Lucky you!
