Have Over 10st To Lose? Come And Join The 2st 'Christmas Challenge' by xxtannyxx

[Beverley75]

Thank you Rose! I'm so happy for you - when you break through that 'stones' barrier and get to a new bracket it's an amazing motivator You are doing amazingly well guys and are such an inspiration. Here's to the 17s... Enjoy them - you'll soon be knocking on that door for the 16s!

I'm going to do my darndest to lose another stone by 30th December BUT I fully intend to enjoy Christmas day! I don't know how realistic that is though as I lost 1lb this last week :-( Oh well. At least it's gone for good

I'm doing Cambridge Weight Plan so the losses are different. The big difference is all of you are changing your attitudes to food as you go along (infinitely harder) while I can have dramatic losses now with the real hard work to come at the end with maintenance. I stopped recording my loss here as I made the mini goal (which I hope was motivational as we all plodded along) but don't want to reverse that and discourage slimming world dieters who may be struggling to catch up.....But I'm still checking in and fully invested in cheering you all on to get to goal xxx Let's keep it going - good luck x

Oh please don't stop posting your losses Beverley ... I know that you're on a different weight loss plan to myself but it personally motivates me to see you losing and I'd really like to keep following your journey Well done on your loss this week too xx

 

[Beverley75]

Thanks Molly It's exactly the same for me - I get motivated by you, Rose and Safia's losses too! I'll keep updating then and try to get a 3 stone loss by the 30th We're doing great..... Onwards (or downwards as the case may be lol) xx

WI last night and I was blown away by a 4 1/2lb loss ... 4 more to go to reach my personal 4 stone by Christmas goal and only 7 to go to the 16 stone zone (I'd love to start the New Year in the 16's! ... can I do 7lbs in 3 weeks?... I'll give it a damn good try lol)

Molly! That's amazing!! Well done!

I'm starting to calm down a little bit in the run up to Christmas. It's getting much harder to say no to everything. Plus so many after work Christmas drinks and meals!

Only 1lb for me this week. Aslong as I carry on losing up until Christmas I'll be happy. Even if it is only 1lb! As long as it's in the right direction.

Any loss is always better than a gain Rose

I'm quite lucky in that I work for a very small firm and in a field which doesn't even acknowledge Christmas (I'm a funeral director so 'celebrating' is a tad inappropriate whatever the occasion), so I'm not being tempted at all by people bringing stuff in or nights out

I also don't drink so even when people do come round or I go out I'm more than happy to stick to diet coke as that's what I always have ... I am most definitely counting my blessings at this time of year! xx

 

[Beverley75]

Well done Molly and Rose! From 4.5lbs (Molly! What's your secret!?! ) to 1lb (Rose, that's 1lb you'll never see again, and is better off your body now than hanging around and adding friends over Christmas lol) :happy096:

My laptop is acting dumb so it's a bit fiddly to update my stats, but I've lost 1lb, 4lbs, 1lb.... I'll update on my son's Mac later. I'd love a further 6lbs off by Christmas! Fingers crossed. Either way, whatever I lose now I'll still be better off come Boxing Day now matter how much I may indulge xx

 

[MollyMolly]

3 1/2lb off for me last night ... just 1/2lb away from my 4 stone halfway point :-D

[RoseGold]

So close Molly! You must be feeling so good! 4 stone lost is incredible!

So an absolute shocker for me this week! I lost 4.5lbs!! Which is practically unheard of in my world. Which takes me to my 2 stone before Christmas and 2 1/2 stone lost all together! Just in time too! - With only 1 more weigh in before Christmas.

I'm really starting to feel the health benefits now, I nearly ran all the way to the station today - I could never have done that 3 months ago! Another stone and I'll have to start shopping for new clothes! Eeek!

[MollyMolly]

Rose, that's amazing! :bighug::grouphugg:Well done you I know what you mean about the health benefits too - I was waxing lyrical at group last night about how wonderful it is to be able to trot up and down stairs without effort, cut/paint my toenails without feeling like a contortionist, cross my legs and not worry about whether a seat belt is going to reach when I get into someone else's car!

 

[Beverley75]

Well done Rose! That's amazing :happy096::clap::clap::clap: xx

Well done x

 

[Safia]

I have been quiet as I have been off plan all of december so far and so far have avoided seeing the damage on the scales. At first i got news at the end of nov that my mum was seriously ill and than a few days later my 5 month old daughter had to be admitted into hospital with with a normal childrens virus flying about but as she wasnt breathing properly or drinking milk so she ended up on oxygen and feeding tube. She is fine now but we have a few follow up appointments mainly because they say her weight is too low but hopefully i will bulk her up before our appointment in january x

 

[Beverley75]

!?!? Oh my goodness! In sorry to hear such awful news about your Mum, Safia! I hope she's okay - but she has a wonderful daughter like you to be there for her and make her feel loved at this horrible moment in time. Big hugs.x

And I'm so glad your wee Bubba is okay. There is absolutely nothing more awful than your child being ill. Fill her little tummy with any treats she likes (sod nutrition right now). Please do keep us posted with how she's doing xx

Ofcourse your focus hasn't been on you/your diet right now. We're all here for you when life decides to stop kicking your butt. Best wishes and lots of love, Bev xxxx

 

[RoseGold]

Hi everyone! How were your Christmas's? Glad to hear you little girl is on the mend Safia!

Ive had about 3 weeks off plan now and I am terrified of the scales! Although I'm struggling to get back on it properly so I probably need the scales to shock me back into action! I'm great at breakfast but then I've given into a temptation by lunch. Need to find my zone again

My next goal is 2.5stone by April 5th as that will total 5 stone loss for me! April 5th is my aunts wedding day, I'm leaving dress shopping to the last minute! Hoping to get into a 16 or maybe even a 14!

What are your next goals?

 

[MollyMolly]

Oh no Safia :-( I hope your Mum is doing OK and that your little one is well and truly on the mend. I wouldn't worry too much about her being 'underweight' Hon ... my eldest was always categorised as being underweight (as is my Grandson) but they both ate/eat well - they just burn it up. That particular daughter is still tiny now (she's 25) but she has a small frame and high metabolism and is perfectly healthy (((HUG))).

I had a good Christmas thanks RoseGold Lovely presents, lots of family time, fun with the Grandchildren (at nearly 4 my Grandson was really aware of the whole Christmas thing for the first time ) AND managed to lose 5lbs!

My next goal is 3 stone by 30th April, which will leave me with 9lbs to my original (and current) target but probably 1 stone 9lbs to overall target (I want to assess at 13 stone because at my age losing too much could easily leave me looking old and ill).
