I've lost a kilo in a week, now 91.5 . . . . Still too heavy, and TBH I'm not really trying that hard, just avoiding the obvious pitfalls.

I've convinced myself easing in gently is better than the full torture mode.

I've never done KG before but 13st 10-11 used to be my good average in my mid 40's . . . .that was 8 years ago and a lot has changed since then. Under 14st And staying there must be the goal.

on that note, I'm cyxling off to work

I thought this was quite apt.

No need to flap yet, changing old habits isn’t easy!

Down just over 2lbs. Overjoyed at this - because I'm still trying to get rid of Christmas remnants.
Hoping it's not a weighing scales error.

Forgot to weigh in this morning but I've been trying to cut down the excess food and portion sizes this week will see what effect it has had when I get home from work

1/8 16 st 7lbs
8/8 16st 5lbs

Mrs S 1/8 12st 8lbs

Slow but sure. Not happy at being outscored by Mrs S

1/8 12st 3lbs
8/1 12st
Happy with this start...I'm trying to choose healthier options in the evening, which is the time I would previously reach for something like crisps or chocolate

This is the key. Crash loss rarely works long term

 

[Bedsex]

1 Jan: 82.35kg (13st 0lb)
8 Jan: 80.8kg (12st 10lb)

Loss from 1 Jan 1.55kg (4lb)

I’m very happy with that - I’ve managed to shed everything I put on over Christmas, plus a bit more. It’s a whopping 5.7kg (13lb) loss since 1 November, when this thread spurred me into action.

I know it’s going to get harder to lose the rest to get down to my target of 79.4kg (12st 7lb), but it’s a good start

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Day 1: 14st 9lb
Day 8: 14st 8lb

Not surprised, but I'll take the 1lb and move onto the next week. It is what it is.

 

[Brighton1959]

1st Jan - 194.5 pounds
8th Jan - 192.6 pounds

Slow start but progress. Most Christmas food stuff now eaten or thrown out.

1/1 84.1 kgs 13 st 3 lbs

8/1 83.4 kgs 13 st 2lbs.

Slightly disappointing, as I thought it would be better after my 10 day gluttony programme finished on the 2nd Jan. Ho hum. Onwards and downwards.

At least I am now protected from seeing Tesco Express and all the other takeaway venues of Shoreham. I did read an interesting article yesterday about how, constantly being shown pictures of food does actually make us want to eat more.

Well done and good luck to all those re-starting this challenge.

Start date 6/1 ( target 81kg)

6/1 - 87.7kg
8/1 - 86.3kg

Just sensible eating, no bread, biscuits or general snacks.

Trying to do more steps, also a few sit-ups and pressups.

 

[Brian Fantana]

A first full week saw me lose just shy of 6 pounds. Pretty chuffed with that.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

13.3 down 1lb as expected.

I think most of us are in the same boat . . . . Currently on the fresh water line

There's a lot of cheese left in our fridge.

Start - 206.5
Week 1 - 202.2 (-4.3)

I'm surprised really... other than no booze for 7 days I didn't think I'd done much clean eating, maybe grabbing a couple of biscuits after dinner instead of some pie. There is a 12 month aged Christmas pudding calling out to me nightly but so far I have resisted the call.

I finished the rump end of a giant white chocolate Toblerone last week. Just couldn't chuck it. It did not help the weight loss

3lb down, 4 to go...
