Weighed in at 11st this morning. Remain unconvinced by scales, but IF that is true, I have actually hit my weight loss target of half a stone.
I'm now going to push on through to my ultimate target of an entire stone to get back down to 10st 7lbs which I was when I finished teacher training almost 4 years ago.
11st is the lightest I've been for 18 months. Bit chuffed with myself.
Congrats to everyone who's lost weight this week.:)
After 2 weeks of near-stalling (0.5 lb a week), have now lost another 2lb. Taking me to just over a stone lost now. Yay. Was worried it was all going to stop and I'd give up.
Just went out for a run in the rain to, uh, 'celebrate'. It was actually quite nice tho'. Like having your run and shower at the same time...
Congratulations to everyone who has lost weight from me too.
I've had a good workout at the gym this morning, and am sticking to my diet better than last week. I must say that I'm finding that going to the gym really fits into my lifestyle and I'm seeing rapid fitness gains.
I'm hopeful for my weigh-in day tomorrow. I've had two good workouts at the gym this week (still cooling down from one of them) and have been more careful concerning calories. But of course Murphy's Law suggests that on the week when you've done things right ....
I used your links (obviously swapping to female where necessary). I came out at 10st, 10.2st and 10.3st in that order for each link. Frankly, for me, the last one is the most achievable and even then I'd be skin and bone. I have a large chest which NEVER loses weight! So I'd literally need to be carrying zero fat elsewhere if I was to get to that.
On a more positive note, I bought a size 10 dress yesterday not been a size 10 in years. I'm not convinced it was a REAL size 10, more likely a vanity size, but it made me feel good!
Put two pounds on this week im absolutly gutted. I know its my own fault but definatly dont want that to ever happen again. Heres hoping for a better week nxt week xx
Down to 82kg now. That's officially 0.5kg off this week (a pound and a bit), but probably a bit more as I think that last week's measurement was a bit low as I was really thirsty and probably dehydrated at the time. Even if it was accurate, 0.5kg a week is my target weightloss, so I'm happy.
Congrats to everyone who lost, and best wishes to Steff and everyone for this week.
Thanks for the advice. A big salad with low calorie dressing (tastes fine as long as you like a mustard kick which I do) is definitely going to be on the menu today. No celery in the house, but we do have little gem lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper. However, having some Linda McCartney Red Onion & Rosemary sausages in the freezer (63 calories each) and some Iceland Spicy Beanburgers (125 calories each) should allow me to do something decent. However, I'd better stop this post now, as I'm making myself hungry again
Having completed my third week on the 5-2 diet, I have lost 6lb in total
wow well done!! is that the diet where you diet for 2 days and eat what you want for 5? im assuming you still eat healthily for the other 5 days though...:D
im just sticking to healthy eating and plenty of exercise and i've lost all my post christmas weight, since jan 7th i've lost 3.5kg!:D
i do have my treats, but not every day, if i eat chocolate one day i give it a miss the next etc and i swim four times a week for an hour to an hour and a half each time; i also walk a lot:D
i rarely eat red meat but i eat chicken fish and quorn and i eat a fair bit of protein which fills me up:)
Can I join this thread please? Ive recently started my diet and have 8 stone to lose if I want to get to my ideal weight, however if I can lose 5 then I'd be more than happy. I have so many reasons to lose it, from wanting to be healthier and fitter, to wanting to visit my family and friends in the UK but being to ashamed of my body to do it yet.
Im so unfit that any form of exercise leaves me with a bad back and aching limbs but I am trying to be more and more active. I have a disabled husband which makes going out quite difficult. I just need some friendly encouragement to go along with my willpower. Thanks.

One question, how do you work out your ideal weight. I used this site: http://www.prokerala.com/health/health-calculators/ideal-weight.php and it says that I should be 77.65kg. (Currently 82.5). That seems quite high to me. My initial target is 80kg, but if my ideal is 77.65, I'm definitely going for that. But looking elsewhere gives me different numbers. Here, assuming that I'm a 'medium frame', I should be 71.21kgs to 77.2kgs. http://www.jodohonline.com/dietpills/ideal_weight_table_for_men.htm. According to http://weight.optyourlife.com I should be 73kg. Where-ever I look, I find different figures concerning what weight I should be.

Then just checked again about an hour ago and it says I've lost 3lbs.
What is this sorcery?
Big salad ? I find lots of celery and lettuce helps on days like that.
I always fall back on Knorr chicken noodle soup in a desperate situation. 44 calories I think per bowl. And delicious too

Im doing this,.done the first week and lost 3ibs. Admitedly this id the 3 ibs that i lost initially then put back on last weekend!!!!
According to the first one, I should be 9 stone :eek:
The second one says 9st 7 - 10st 7
The third says 9st 11
If I was 9 stone, I would look scrawny and ill! Think I'll aim for somewhere at the top of the second one!
I'm still confused by it, and will reconsider what weight I should be when I get to 80kg and see what that looks like.
