The Nifty Thrifty Weight Loss Challenge *All Welcome*

samorgo

Hi all!

Just wondering if I can join in on this board please? I'm looking to lose about 5 stone in total but just 8 lbs will do for September!!
I've been lurking around the forums for many years but in recent weeks admitting I have a gambling problem (I'm a regular poster on the ex-gambler support thread) I have been looking at many more posts trying to get inspiration and advice on how to make my DFW journey a bit shorter and a bit easier!!
September will be my first month trying this and the NSD challenge...

Is there a specific day that you all prefer to weigh in or is any day ok as long as it's consistent?
As tomorrow is the first of the month I will be weighing in first thing - I hope it's not too horrific (I haven't really been trying to lose weight but hope not to have put too much more on - I have enough to lose as it is!)...

I look forward to hearing how you are all getting on!

Welcome samorgo, you will find us a friendly bunch. Following everyones progress is very motivating and it helps keep me on the straight and narrow (most of the time lol).

Well done you on taking the first steps, they are often the hardest.:T

Thanks for the welcomes! I have weighed in this morning and although I'm still aiming for 8lbs this month if I can reach 7 I'll be under 14 stone for the first time in over 18months...

Good luck all x

Hi all, well done to those made losses on lb and gains on the ££s. Welcome Sam.

Weighed in this morning and lost another 2lb. Which makes my overall loss 10lb since we started. More effort needed! But on the plus side, I've had a ben n jerry free week this week!

So for September I'll say my targets are 5lb/£300

Hello peoples,

Right need to get back on track!!

Hi Sam!! Welcome aboard!!

I weighed myself this morning and I saw 85KG (and .9) but it exists!!! Could be from the mass amount of hair I have had cut off last night but I don't care!! I am pretty chuffed with that!!

It's my birthday next month and we're going in fancy dress - My costume came yesterday - Belle from beauty and the beast!! I love it - I look like a proper princess, if not a fat one but still!!

The plan is I have 5 weeks til my birthday - MUST LOSE 10LBS by then. I'm nomming on breakfast now so that should keep 'hunger locked up til lunch'

I've done pretty rubbish on the ££ front however sold a bit on eBay last week, HAVE to send it all this weekend *yawn* but we are doing a car boot sale on Sunday so that should be good!! I have also quit my second job. I hate it, we have new people there and they talk to me like I am dirt... So screw them it ain't happening any longer! I finish next Wednesday for good - I will miss the money but won't miss the upset!! I have been applying for jobs too... there's one in particular that I have my eye on that I have applied for and REALLY want. It means I am back working in Education AND it's 6 grand more AND it's only 4 days a week! AND I can sell my car and just take the train!! weeeeeeee!

well done everyone with their weight loss, I promise I will update the front page when I have a sec!

Love love
