To give you an update, I've fallen off the wagon. Not even concerned about it as I'm having some other more important issues at the moment. Perhaps in a week or two I'll be in a better place to start again.

Loved hearing your update belfastgirl. So pleased for you, and I can imagine your pleasure at throwing out those old clothes. You're an inspiration

I have also until Easter to lose 8.5 lbs Belfast girl. I lost 2.5 last week so was pleased with that. But in a bad mood on Saturday so ate and drank everything. Hoping to pull it back now for Thursday but doubt it.


Need another loss this week hate it when something happens and puts you off your stride but that is life though I guess. Annoying

Hi all, a quick end of month check in. As of this morning another 4lb down - which makes 9lb in total, though I weighed particularly light this morning (10st 5.5lb) wouldn't surprise me if I went up a bit tomorrow lol. Getting to 10 stone by easter is probably ambitious but hey, may as well give it a try! However I gave up sugar for lent (as in any sweet foods) so that might help a bit. Still off the booze as well. And hoping to stick with this til the end of March. This is the lightest I've been since last spring so I'm feeling pleased so far.

How's everyone else doing?

afternoon all
after my last post on 14th jan, I realised I needed to take this all a bit more seriously, im a bridesmaid at the end of april and my dress is a little tight. So, back to the gym and cut out a lot of cr4p from my food, and made more effort on reducing portion size and pleased to say by last sunday (5 weeks of making the effort) I lost 18lbs. But no banners just yet, there is still a significant amount to go.


just back from a hen weekend in Paris. Lots of lovely food and drink, but also an incredible amount of walking to balance it out (12.75km on Saturday alone) so im heading down for a swim now and will weigh myself when I get there. fingers crossed!

A quick check back in. I was right that 10st 5.5 was a blip lol I was back up to 10.7 the next morning. However I'm now 10st 4.5 so still going the right direction and now 10.5lb down in total. Unlikely to make 10 stone by easter though lol.

How's everyone else doing? Well done on your loss Amy!

Thanks Belfastgirl. By the week before the wedding (last week) I hit the 2 stone mark lost. My dress which was a corset lace up back ended up being too big on me! It was a great feeling, and everyone at the wedding commented on it, especially people and family that I hadn't seen since Christmas.


Going to keep going, still more to lose. Although I need to find some new motivation, now that the wedding is over I need a new challenge.


Hope you are close to your target now Belfast girl?

Wow well done you Amy. You have also forced me to confront this thread again, for which I thank you!

I have fallen off the wagon...I'm back up around 10.7 and have a heavy weekend coming up...but after that I'm definitely getting back to it. I would love to be hitting the 10stone mark by the time I go on hols in mid-June. I've also got a couple of things coming up in July both of which will involve a lot of photos....so this can be my motivation.

anyone else in?
