Getting into the 8's!

Hi! I've seen threads like this for all the other numbers, just wondering if anyone is like me and is trying to get into the 8s?! I'm quite small so would really like to be 8 stone! I got to 8stone 12 before Christmas but seriously struggling now after putting on 6lb over Christmas. I'm now 9st 1.5lb but not very motivated anymore!

At my heaviest a couple of years ago I was creeping up to 10stone which is verging on overweight for my height so I want to make sure I keep heading in the right direction and not end up back there!!

So anyone in the same boat??
 
Meeee :) I'd like 8 10 but still can't seem to shift below 9 7.
 
Im the same too!!! im currently 9st 1.5 but hoping to have lost this week !

dezperately need to crack this 9 st. its sooo hard!!
 
best of luck everybody......

btw does everyone find it comes off very slowly? or do you see quick losses?
 
now that is determination....well done for sticking with it!!
 
Thats a relief i thought i was the only one!

my weigh in tomorrow so will post up results :) fingers crossed for a good one!

I've been between 9 7 and 9 9 since hitting 9 7 last July. ARGH haha. Annoying isn't it?
 
Glad other people are finding it so slow too! Feel like just giving up on it sometimes ha but even if I lost half a pound a week I'd be well into the 8s by my holiday in May so I have to think of it like that! Might even be at my goal by next Christmas!! haha
 
I tend to hover at 9st 4lb which is noticeable on me as I'm only 5ft 1. How tall are you ladies? Would love to be 8st 7 ish but it comes off so slowly. Saying that, I never exercise! Xx
 
agree - the 8's have always been so tricky for me! I think the lightest I've ever been is 8st 13lb and found it almost impossible to stay there.. hence my goal weight is now 9st 7lb.

When I first read your note I thought you meant size 8 jeans... now thats an even bigger struggle..!!
 
I'm 5 foot 2.5, so think about 8st 7 would be good for me too but I haven't been that weight in about 5 years so I really don't know, I'm being ambitious though and aiming for the lowest of my BMI healthy weight range but if I'm happy before getting there I'm gonna stop, I do think it would be impossible to stay at 8 stone without being on a constant diet haha
 
I went down to 8st 4lbs just before my wedding in 2004! I was too stressed and busy to eat - I could never stick at that weight, it must be really hard work. I would be secretly pleased if I was 8st 13lb! It would make all the difference psychologically!

Being short is a pain in the bum!

XXXXX
 
A mixture of everything lol. Did a year of SW, six months each of calorie counting & WW. I find I get to 9st and can't lose anymore so switch to another diet lol
 
So jealous of you parfittaroles!! I can't wait to get to your BMI, sometimes I think I'm fine the way I am but why not look better when I'm young haha
