[hello_kitty]

[hello_kitty]

Congrats Topsy! Its been awhile since Ive lost anything. I didnt do so well with bb #2. I gained 15 lbs total and only lost 8- 9 lbs of it.

On a side note, I really have baby fever and want another one! Its not very rational though...

 

[MommyCandice]

I just weighed in at 248.8 so I am still down 2.4lbs since last wi on sat and am technically down 4.8 lbs since monday cuz i had gone up.

I need to lose 1 more lb to be at what i was last friday before the big gain but I am almost there and in 1.3lbs i will be the lowest i have been so far!!
I am so excited. On your guys talk of babies.

I was 186 at 4 weeks pregnant with my oldest who is 5. At the end of the pregnancy with him I was 218. I never weighed myself after I had him until he was 6 months old and I had found out I was 5 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. I was 219. I was kinda upset that I had clearly gained since I had him because obviously I would have lost weight after delivering him. At the end of my pregnancy with her I was 240. After her again I never weighed myself till me and her dad broke up a yr later so that was 3 yrs ago. I was 250 when we broke up and after we broke up I tried to be healthy and I dropped to 230 in 2 months!!!
Then shortly after I met my fiance. I did good but then I slacked off and then found out I was pregnant. When I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant I was 243 lbs. That was almost 2 years ago. That whole pregnancy I did not gain a single thing and actually lost which drs were not concerned and when I delivered at 35 weeks I was 238lbs. With a month or so of having him I jumped on the scale and I was 224!!! It was the lowest I had been in like 3 yrs or so. This was 1 yr ago. Then the post pardum depression got really bad ( never had it with the other 2). It didnt help with the little guy being 5 weeks early and spending almost 2 weeks in the hospital and then he didnt gain overly well till 8 months and I was just down about everything. Next time I jumped on the scale was this september and I was 263 lbs. I knew I needed to do something about it for my health. Here we are 2 months later and I have lost 14.2lbs. I dont know if that is good or not but I am really tying. Sorry for the story

 

[Eve]

It's great MC, seriously. You've lost over 14lbs in two months and you are really trying! That's awesome!

Hello ladies May I join please?

I'm desperate to lose weight for my wedding in less than 18 months. I was weighed by my sister this morning and I weigh 18st 11lbs - which I think is about 253.4lbs. I'll be doing Slimming World from home, with the help of my sister who'll come to weigh me per week, every Monday. It makes me feel quite depressed to know I weigh so much, its the heaviest I've ever been

 

[Eve]

Helen! I know what you mean about depressing!

Congrats on the engagement You will do great and the ladies in here are so darn awesome!

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Hi Eve :waves: Thanks for the welcome

I think my goal of 140 is quite a big one, and I honestly don't think I'll lose so much before we get married, but its certainly something to work to. I want to be at least 3 or 4 stone lighter by the big day

 

[Eve]

My first goal right now is to hit under 200lbs, so I have about 28lbs give or take a few to lose to get there My last WI I was 226.1 (end of the day, after a big feed of chinese for mom's birthday )

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Yeah I think I ought to make that my first goal too. More realistic for now lol

 

[Eve]

Small goals that are easier to meet can really help motivate you to keep going

 

[MommyCandice]

Yes i agree with eve. Smaller goals are easier to achieve. My first goal is to be 220 so i have 28lbs to go

 

[MommyCandice]

I am down to 246! That is a 2.2 loss from yesterday and I am officially the lowest I have been so far!!!

 

[Eve]

MC! That's so awesome!

 

[hello_kitty]

Welcome Mummy_ellie!

I think with a time frame of 18 months, its definitely achievable. I've seen people lose 100 lbs in a year.

Good job mommycandice! 2.2 in a day is fab!

Ive been off track, but weighed in at 223.4. Its not horrible, but I need to be on track again so the numbers will move.

 

[MommyCandice]

I was back up again and weighed in a 248 today. I am technically still down .8 from wi day so as long as I dont gain anymore I will be ok

18 months is definitely achievable mummy elite

We will both get there hello_kitty

 

[Eve]

HK- hope the weight moves down some for next WI! You are doing great!
