Axe the avoirdupois in August aka the 7 pound club :-D

Hi there,
I'd love to join as my weight keeps yo yoing like anything I'm currently 13st 5, and am aiming for small chunks until I really get my head around dieting again. Doing it month by month sounds great.

I'm a emotional eater and a food addict, any ideas on how to manage my eating would be much appreciated. If I can get rid of a good 10lbs over the summer hols that would be great. Looking forward to feeling lighter again.:D

OK, weighed in this morning and my official starting weight for August is 131.2lbs (just over 9st 5lbs). So I have lost virtually nowt in July, just half a pound! Mind you, after slipping up badly in my eating, I am just grateful not to have put any on.

I have to work on my motivation this month and really be hard on myself if I slip up. I also need to cut chocolate and sweet stuff right out (or maybe do as one poster suggested ages ago and allow myself to have one chocolate day a week... after all, there's only so much chocolate you can eat in one day!).

Dragon, can you add my starting weight to the first post? Thanks.

Hi all, hope that everyone's enjoying the first day of August! Can't believe it's here already, just hope that we get a glorious one!!

Weighed myself this morning at boots and to my surprise i have lost 4lb's!!!

More than i could have hoped for, had maybe one or two lb's in mind but not four!! This means that i have lost the three i put on and lost an extra one on top! so i lost the 7lb i needed to for july! :j

Now i'm back on the straight and narrow (hopefully! ) i want to steam ahead and lose as much as i can in august - my target is 28 lb's of which i have now lost 14lb's, so i don't think i can lose the other 14lb's in 4 weeks - although i would love too! But i will try my hardest!

So, my starting weight for August is .......deep breath.......19st 13lb :eek:
DRAGON can you add it to the front page please - many thanks.

Well done on losing the 7lbs in July AND being in the next stone level - best of luck with August!

Weighed in this morning and I'm 11st 6lbs (can you put on 1st post please Dragon) so that's a 3lb loss for July - not fabulous but at least I didn't gain!

I'm away in September for 2 weeks, so this is a last ditch attempt to lose what I can and try not to go overboard with all that yummy food and drink (I gained half a stone last year :eek::eek:)

Hope August is treating you all well peeps, have a fab weekend all!
xxxxxxxxxx

Well I finally weighed in this morning at Boots and it was better than I hoped for! I thought I was still at 22st and 13lb but I was actually 22st and 10lbs - so that is my starting weight for August! Oooh to be 22stone by the end of the month!

Ooh, this is a great idea - can I join please?

Lost 4lbs this week, so my start weight for August is 10st 13lbs, am aiming for 9st 7lbs to be a bridesmaid, so 7lbs in August would be great!

count me in - still not winning fighting the flab and am determined now to make some inroads and ditch at least two stone this year.
