From a Christmas Pudding to a Christmas Cracker - Weight Loss Motivation

Great work, you can be very proud of yourself. 12lbs is a fantastic achievement.

Well done!

I don't do chair yoga but I do weekly gentle yoga classes and I use the down dog app a few times during the week. I usually do vinyasa (which is what you think of when you imagine yoga) but they have loads of options on it including gentle, strength flow and chair yoga.

I know Yoga with Adrienne (who is supposed to be great) has chair yoga videos on her youtube page.

Week 13 weigh in:+ 0.5lb total loss 10.5lb

I was all over the place this last week. Having good food in the house doesn't help when there's impromptu plan changes. Not surprised at the gain and I'm not upset because I enjoyed myself. I've a quieter week ahead so we'll see how it goes.

Week 14 weigh in:- 3.5lb total loss 14lb

I've lost a stone 🥳 I was aiming for 1.5 this week so I've smashed it. My first goal was 12.5lb so I've reassessed and I've set it to the next half stone which is 5lb to go.

I feel great. I've a wedding I'm going to in 2 weeks but if I can stay as I am till then I'm more than delighted. After that I'll get working again.

I am starting on the road again. Day 1.

I am dealing with a hip/knee issue so sadly its food/diet based mainly. Pray for mojo

Great stuff! It gives me hope as I will be following a similar model.

Injury and time restrict walks and runs. I will get to the gym sporadically so not much in that. Its all down to will power and diet. I have one query though, no takeaways? We usually have takeaway Friday nights. I dont think I can go without it.

When I lost 18kg almost three years ago (crying inside) I still had my takeaway, two lettuce wrapped burgers but I had them accounted for in my tracker. I am not sure I am willing to be that disciplined this time.

What fakeaways were you doing? I need some recipe inspo!

Today is my last day with my existing gym & I'm so sad, I don't want to leave but they've put the price up to €200 a month & as much as I love it, I can't justify giving them that amount of money. Need to sign up to a new place over the weekend as I'm in the habit of going now and I don't want to lose it.

It's one of those places that do personal training in small groups so you always have the instructor close by telling you what to do & making sure that you don't bust yourself. But yes, definitely gone too dear - think they are aiming it at 20-somethings who do nothing but work out.

So I am up +0.6kg from my weigh in last Tuesday but it included a binge the the before so effected the weigh in.

Doing a 48 hour fast since Monday 6pm so was low today.

I'm stopping numbering my weekly weighins because I'm hoping that this is a long journey and not just a few week thing.

Weigh in: +0.5 lb Total loss 13lb

I ate drank and was merry so it's not unexpected. Hoping to see a change on the scales next week even if its just half a pound so I get the kick I need.

I lost 3 st last year but have already found one of them again. Busy times at the moment but summer break starts in a couple of weeks so can focus properly then, try to lose a bit before my hols.

Weigh in: -1 lb Total loss 15.5lb

Thats 7kg down.I know that BMI isn't an accurate reading of a person's health but if I manage to shift 5 more pounds I'll be officially "normal".

Don’t beat yourself up about it @Aisling(",), sometimes you just need to go with your body. I’ve decided to only weigh myself every 4 weeks as I’m at a stage in life where weight loss slows down and I can’t walk very far at the moment as I’ve aggravated my knee and am having physio. I know my losses will be small but I have to think of the bigger picture.

4 week weigh in today and down 3 lbs which isn’t great but as I’ve bot been able to walk at all I have to accept this will be slow 😢.

Weigh in: Maintain Total loss 16.5lb

Had three meals out so not surprising. I'm away twice in the next two weeks so just aiming to only have a small gain.There deffo will be a gain but I'm hoping maybe only 4lb or something.

Put on 6.5lbs. Honestly should care more than I do.

I'm guessing a pound or two would have been gone if I hadn't stuffed my face with a hotel breakfast on the day of the weigh in and drank enough water to hydrate an elephant.

Sure we'll see what next week brings.

weighd myself for the first time in ages this morning… up a full 4kg (well, 8.5lbs) since before my holidays in early June.

Time to cut down on the junk food, snacking & eating out methinks. I'm at my heaviest in 8 years now and at an age where shifting it is a longer, slower process too!

Serious loss, fair play.

I had a 3 week holiday where I planned to doing loads of jogging, did a few shorter runs in the first few days, then went out for a 10k. 5k into that I felt a ping in my Achilles, I have had it re-attached twice but it hasn't given me any issue in 10+ years. I had to call the OH to collect me as I could barely walk. Physio says a minimum of 10 weeks rest.

So its all diet for me. I am in the gym three days a week since last week. Calorie counting via my fitness pal however I have three nights out this week for BD with boozers and its one to one so difficult to hide.

I am weighing myself everyday, if I dont go up this week I will see it as a win.

Getting back in action. Got weighed yesterday evening. I've been off work for two weeks and holiday mode kicked in with a gain of 5.5 lb. Honestly I'd say a pound of it was because I'd eaten my three meals of the day before hand.

I'm working towards a Christmas goal now and it feels doable. Going to up my exercise aswell.
