4/5 stone or more to lose?

[NewlyMrs]

Hi ladies!

I was just wondering if there were any ladies out there who would like to join me on my MASSIVE journey to TTC after weightloss and/or had any weightloss tips.

I am going at this hard. I am a do it strong or not at all type of person haha . I was really huge at one point and lost 4 stone up until about 18 months ago when I gave up , while I have kept the weight mostly off I still am overweight and need to lose like 7 stone to be normal weight BUT I like my curves so I am going for about 4 stone or until I am approx a UK 14 ( I think thats a US 12 )

I thought we could be accountable to each other, you don't have to post your weight on here but you can post what you lose each week and we can support each other.

So I am planning to have 3 meals a day with no snacks (as they are my downfall ) I am not a calorie counter as such but I am planning to stick to about 1600-1800 calories so I have a small deficit each day that will be filled in with my stored energy.

So here goes:

DAY ONE

Weightloss: 0st 0lb

Breakfast: 2 slices of brown bread toasted with butter and a cup of tea with semi skimmed milk and 1 sugar and 1 splenda (slowly does it haha )

Lunch: PLANNED to be Chicken breast and mixed beans (red kidney beans etc... umm love beans)

Dinner: Not planned yet

Exercise: 30 mins on exercise bike (starting slow)

I hope some of you will join me. If you want to, just drop a reply and say when you might me starting.

good on you for going for it. Im also an all or nothing person. My LO is 8 weeks and I have 1/2 a stone to lose to be my pre preg weight and a stone to lose to be my ideal, but nothing i do is making this weight shift. The last bit is always hard to lose. I go on a short walk with LO each day and go to he gym at least 3 times each week. I eat okay, not excessive but also not strict enough.

Goodluck

Hi!

Ive been a bit of a lucker on here but you post inspired me to post! I lost 6 stone before having my little one and due to a bad pregnancy I put on about 4ish stone and have only lost a stone so far.........I love food hehe.

So I have decided that I am going to lose this and would love to be buddies with you

I signed up to weight watchers tonight (this was how I lost my 6 stone before) and I also have an exercise bike. Tend to do 20mins 6 days a week. Sleep permitting lol.

My start weight is.....13stone 10 eeekkkk!

First goal......13 stone by 4th November (hopefully!)

Will post my food tomorrow.

Good luck x

I am also going to finaly do something about shifting the weight
Ive never been small, i was 12 stone pre preg and im now 13.4 stone
Ideally i would like to reach 11 stone and if i do that i would then like to go to 10 stone.
Ive recently quit smoking, so if i can do that, i can do this without a doubt
Im going healthy food shopping later x

I always loose a little weight then pile it back on, but im actually enjoying my diet atm! going food shopping on tuesday to stock back up, get plenty of low carb foods in

 

[abernathie]

I love carbs and Chocolate so having to cut down on one at a time or I might go into melt down....

[bathbabe]

You might feel more motivated doing 7lb goals, half a stone at a time, thats what im doing x

 

[abernathie]

I had a hard day yesterday. Mollie decided playtime was 1am till 4am so I was knackered and just wanting sweet stuff.....I didnt cave though

Brekkie : Rice snaps, milk, slice of toast and a cuppa.

Lunch : Used up the boiled potatoes and chicken in the fridge.

Dinner : Homemade pea and ham soup and some bread

Snacks : Some of my homemade rice crispy cakes.

I am aiming for 5% body weight and then 7lb goals after that

Heres to a better day.

Moving Mollie into her own room tonight

 

[PrincessKate]

Im going in 10lb stints too, i used to do it stone by stone but always got dishearted, so its 10lbs at a time and im doing my weight in lbs not stone, doesnt seem as daunting for some reason? how often do you weigh yourself i weight myself everyday naughty i know but i just cant help it lol so far ive lost 17.75 lbs aiming for another 1.25lbs by the end of the week.

 

[abernathie]

I also weight myself everyday!! Bad idea as I was up today but not gonna worry about it, long day and night and not much sleep (Mollie went in her own room was in there lots)

Yesterday I had

Brekkie : 2 x toast and Tea

Lunch : Pea n ham soup and a slice of bread

Dinner : Toulouse sausage and lentils done in the slow cooker

Snacks: Wotsits. We also baked some shortbread, made them tiny so had 2 of them with a cuppa

Should be able to get back on my exercise bike now Mollie is in her own room so can ram up the exercise!

Have a good day girls

 

[PrincessKate]

Exercise? dont swear at me i need to get back on my wii and play just dance

 

[abernathie]

Wish I had a wii! always playing that at my sisters.

Too tired to do anything today. Mollie keeps wanting to play at 1am

And we had a bad day.....ruined the slow cooker meal, Mollie sofa surfed and 1 slide off landing on her bum, few tears (both of us) but shes fine. Bad mummy!
And stress with the ex and money.

Off to my pit and hoping for a better day tomorrow.

I did stick to my diet tho
