Thread: 2013: The year of the continuing loss

My previous thread

http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-...rney-goes.html (159 days ended....the journey goes on)

Thought it was just the right time to start a new diary. Started off weighing 14st 12lbs on July 19th. If you read my previous thread I have been through ups and downs since then but got to the Xmas period weighing 13st 1lb. Now after a much longer then anticipated time off from the diet I weigh 13st 6lb, so all is not lost still nearly a stone and a half gone overall

So a new month and a new start.

My next goal

I have friends coming to visit in 7 weeks, would like to drop a stone by then (2lbs a week, manageable). That would take me to 12st 6lb, a weight where I would be much much happier at and not far away from a realistic end target, maybe I would be able to aim for that end target by the 19th July, exactly a year after starting...but lets not get to far ahead yet


So any new visitors or the lovely people I have talked to before, lets hope I can get moving downwards again x

Jumped on the scales this morning after a day of no salty foods and a day of healthy eating and I was 13st 3lbs. My body just seems to be adjusting to the water it has been holding, but I will stick with 13st 6lb for this week, let my body adjust then see what I am down to on Thursday.

Woke up with a lovely cup of green tea

Thank you Hoping to be down to 13.4 or even 13.3 this week.

That would prove to be a very succesful week. Just had boiled egg and oven chips for my tea, basically gonna be similar meals for the next 3 weeks. Need to literally count the pennies until 27th. Guess thats all good for my diet though, no chance of takeaways.

I wanna see the 12 stones again, that would be amazing

Yeah fingers crossed. I can't even remember the last time I was in the 12's. I would say about 2 and half years ago. If I am not there by the end of this month then something has seriously went wrong

I have a mean left foot!!

All going well today. Have a torrid next two weeks at uni coming up, 2 presentations and 2 reports to be done

Spent 10 til 9 in there today finishing a group assignment, what a faff on. Its not even with people I particularly like, actually 2 of them I hate. Either way I am moving back home in May so never going to see them again haha

My treat...had three boiled eggs instead of two and oven chips for my tea .

I am lucky in that I am not a massive eater throughout the day, even when I eat unhealthy I would normally just eat one massive meal. People would say that one meals not the best way to go but I find it works for me and the meal I have is often more enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to Thursday. Hope to be near to where I was just before xmas 13st 1lb.

My aim is to be at 13st 2lb though, then I can aim to be in the 12s next week. Now that would get me excited and really motivated. I feel better already this week, my flabby parts don't seem as flabby as normal haha

Bigggg presentation to do tomorrow, hopefully will go well. I don't think I have ever had a week where I have been this commited, not even a small slip up

Before that though it is weigh day, I have lost I am sure. How much though is something that will be found out tomorrow. Hoping I am down to 13.3 or even 13.2, really means the 12s would be in striking distance next week

Thank you, hopefully it will be a good day all around

Massive success. -6 down granted some of this will be water weight after 5 weeks of eating all crap known to man but still over the moon, 1lb lower then I was before xmas.

Just -2lb away from losing two stone and -1lb away from being in the 12s. What a big week this could be
