The 1lb plod!

Just wondering if anyone wants to join me on a 1lb a week plod? Over the years I have dieted to lose large amounts of weight as quickly as possible. I can hold it for a few weeks then lose all will to carry on and put on all the weight I have lost!

My most recent example is to try and lose 2 stone in 2 months for my birthday. Needless to say, I failed miserably.

The hope for this thread is that I, and other people can keep in contact with each other and keep motivated, and know that that 1lb a week is a brilliant loss, and more likely to stay off than losing 4lbs in a week!

Then, hopefully this time next year we will all be at least 52 lbs lighter, or less if you have less to lose, and not still struggling with the same 7 lbs etc etc.
 
What a lovely thread idea! And a great way to looking at weight loss. Once the baby is here I will be joining u but until then I will lerk in the background!
52lbs in a year sounds great!!! X

I hate it too, but the babies are so worth it in the end. I said I didn't want to do it again but I've already changed my mind. That's sooo exciting that its so close. When do you leave work?
 
Hi Lizzy,

Thought I'd see how you're getting on. How are things going? x

Hi lizzie. I'm not really on plan at the mo as we have had a hectic week this week and go on hols tomorrow so I know I'm not Losing any weight.

I had ryvita for breakfast this morning which was good, but ended up having a slice of walnut cake a little while ago ! Doh !

Think I am going to start properly on the week of 26th aug as that's when things start getting back to normal again.

How are you doing? X

I'm ok, thanks. Have managed to maintain so far. Not entirely sure how tho!! Have a great holiday. x
 
Ok, I'm back from holiday. I've never eaten so badly in my life! My clothes feel really tight so I'm going to try and detox a bit this week then start my mission next week.

Plan for this week is to eat mainly fruit and veg in the day then a normal dinner.
 
After messing round with various diets over the past 3 months I'm back with my tail between my legs. I need to get my act together.

My little boy said something to me today that really upset me and made me realise I need to crack on with my weight loss. He didn't mean it nastily as he is too young to understand but when he said I looked like a lady in a film who I view as really big, I realised I this is how I look and its not what I want. If I'd stuck to my 1 lb plod I'd have lost a good stone by now! Grr.

Oh well, fresh start from tomorrow.....
 
Ok, I dropped off for a while! Back on it again now. Lost 1lb this week. I need to stop being disappointed by 1 lb losses. Of I can lose 1 lb a week ill be on my way to a slimmer me in no time! Better than a fad diet, losing 8lb a week then putting on 14 when off!

Have a good day everyone!
 
Hi Lizzy

I like the idea behind this! My losses tend to be really slow, not even a full lb most weeks! But I've managed to shift over a stone since around march so at least going in the right direction!
Good luck with your losses!
Someone has in their signature what a lb of fat looks like, always makes me view a lb loss differently! Maybe you could google it...

Well done Rosie. A stone is great! I've been on a diet for a year and put on 10 lbs. I keep either losing my way or doing silly faddy diets then bingeing after. I need to be in it for the long term now. Why is losing weight so hard?!?

When I was at group once the consultant bought in a lb of fat from the butchers. It was actually disgusting and more than you'd think. I need to keep that image in my head.

Just found this thread, hope you don't mind me adding to it.

I like the sound of 1lb Plod. If I'd stuck to that, I'd have got to goal by now. But on the other hand, I could have put on 1lb a week too, so I am trying keep positive about what I've achieved so far :)
