Thread: Anyone 12 stones to 11 stones

Just wondered if anybody wants to help support each other. I have been doing SW for so long now (4 years) and its far too easy to tell myself sometimes that consistent and regular losses are only achievable by those who have more to lose, as I found it so much easier when I started.

I've lost 4 stone to date, and as much as Im not near target - I generally feel happier going shopping, wearing nicer clothes than when I first started and feeling better about myself.

I'm currently 12stone 5 but was 12 stone 1.5 over a year ago and have been yoyoing since then. I'd love to see some 11s! My starting weight was 16 stone 9.5 so I do know this plan works.

Anyone want to join me? Let me know how your doing etc..

Hello, I am currently 12st 5 too and at 5ft 1 I have quite a bit too lose.

I started Sw in September and have lost 18lbs so far but have been stuck a bit since Xmas. It's definitely because I am not sticking to the plan 100% which didn't seem to matter at first but think its slowing me down now.

I would love love love to get into the 11's, my boyfriend who I have been with for 4 years has never seen me at that weight!! Xxx

I'm 5 foot 2 and at last WI crept into the 11s by half a pound - 11st 13.5. I've lost 18.5lbs since christmas but have loads to go. Being so short the weight sits really heavily...Hoping to make a home in the 11s at least for the near future! Good luck to us all!

hi girls im nicla im 5ft 1" and at last wi i was 12st 1lb i cant wait to get into the 11s havent been to class in few weeks so dont no what to expect on thursday.good luck girls let me no how you get on.

Hi Katie,

Well done on your loss so far! I'm 5ft 6.5 ish I think, and have gone from being a size 20 to a size 14 in most places except perhaps what I call the really skinny shops! hehe I'll be a very happy bunny when I eventually get into a 12.

I tend to find that when I'm good - I'm really good - and then social events or going out for meals with family and friends normally mess me up. It just seems like since Christmas its been somebody's birthday every weekend! Although lately, even when Im good lately I only seem to be losing 1lb a week. I do find Im having most of my syns most days though - so perhaps need to bring this under 10 now. I also follow EE most of the week, so might try going back to green days.

Do you go to a group? I've missed the past 2 weeks, but go to a SW group on a Thursday so thats my weigh day.

I lost most of my weight for my wedding in May, which was a big motivation but I'd also like to think about having a baby fairly soon so would like to get my weight in control so I can enjoy being a yummy mummy with a bump rather than being stressed about putting more weight on.

I am following SW at home.......I'm 5ft 2, eyes of blue oh and at the moment am *whispers* 12 stone 8, down from 13 stone 4......... I have lost each week since I started, however it seems very slow, this week I beat the 1.5lb barrier and lost 2lb..

So think I am going to be a 'slow and steady' loser! My next mini goal is to lose another 4lb to get to 1 stone and then, another 4lb to get in the '11 stone' zone.

Hi. I am 12st 3lb and hope to be in the 11st at next WI or the one after x

Maybeimamazed, 4 stone is fantastic!! I do think if we r to keep the weight off then slow and steady is the way.
I too am a Thursday weigher but I always fall into the twilight zone trap (the Thursday post weigh in treat that I have decided doesn't.count) its little things like this that I need to stamp out.
Having something to aim for is such a good idea, maybe a baby is not for me just yet but looking good on holiday in September will do for now (I would like a baby but my sensible boyfriend thinks we should wait till we get a bigger place first, pah!)
I think we could all be in the 11's by end of March at latest, how great would that be!! X x x x

Hey

I'm 5ft 8 and currently 12st 9lbs.... My starting weight was 17st 5.5lbs

I would like to reach 11 stone hopefully by July but my aim is to be a size 12 ( currently a 14 down from a 22)

hi and well done on all your fab losses. i'm 5'2 and 12.1, i've been hovering near the 12 mark for a few weeks now and its begonning to annoy me. im having a change around with my days and going veggie for a while plus doing double my exercise per day. fingers crossed it shifts soon

Hello,
I'm 5ft 6 and currently 12st.9. I started SW at home at New Year when I was just over 13st. Lost 4 lbs quickly and now feel I've got stuck as the scales only show about a half pound a week loss. Need to read my books again to make sure I'm following the plan properly. Been drinking lots of water and trying to vary my meals a bit more.Good luck to everyone. I would be delighted to get under 12 st.

Wow - you've all done so well!!

I am sitting at 12st 10.5 at the moment, finally reached my half stone award last week after a couple of months of yoyoing with the same 5 pounds!! I am 5ft 8, hoping to get to 11st 7 which will be the same weight I was when I was 18. Mini goal of getting to 12st by the start of May, hopefully reach my 11st 7 goal by July. Should be very easily done, but I just need to keep my bum in gear!

hi girls sunds like we are all bursting to get out of the 12s lets get stuck in get the lbs shifting.dont let a bad day turn into a bad week

I started at 14 stone 9lbs and im now exactly 12 stone. but for 2 weeks ive been hovering around 12 stone and havent quite made it into the 11 stone region yet! Im desperate to get to 11 stone by the end of march!!! xx

12st 7.5 right now, have been having a few weeks going back and forth but have been v focussed this week, I really really want to get into the 11s again. I have noticed in the past when I've lost weight that as soon as I get under 12st there is a real difference, more clothes fit, I become a size 14 in most things and people really notice. Obviously it doesn't happen the second I go under 12, but it's kind of a mental signpost for me that I've done well. I'm 5'9' and have a large build (not saying I'm big-boned, but I have broad hips and shoulders!).
