Just thought I'd post a little update :) Officially lost 6 stone now!

Down to 12st 1.0lbs today ; that's a loss of 0.8lbs :) Autumn500 - 42.5lbs (0lbs lost, 42.5lbs to go) Cat - 40lbs (13.2lbs lost, 26.8lbs to go) Hoz - 23lbs (0lbs lost, 23lbs to go) rushhooked - 91lbs (0lbs lost, 91lbs to go) ronniejacobs - 37lb (olb lost 37lb to go) Downsized - 145lb (65kg...

I'm down to 12st 1.8lbs today which takes me under the 12st 3.6lbs I started off at. So it's a loss of 1.8lbs - back on track :D Autumn500 - 42.5lbs (0lbs lost, 42.5lbs to go) Cat - 40lbs (9.6lbs lost, 30.4lbs to go) Hoz - 23lbs (0lbs lost, 23lbs to go) rushhooked - 91lbs (0lbs lost, 91lbs to...

Down to 12st 3.8lbs again today ; just need to lose another 0.2lbs to start working towards my pledge..... easy!

Amazing isn't the word! Thanks everyone though, it's great motivation :)!

Over the christmas and new year period I went off the rails a little ...... shot up to 12st 10lbs which was a gain 6.4lbs :( Sad times..... however, as of today, I am at 12st 7.8lbs which is a loss off 2.2lbs :) - it doesn't count towards my pledge though ; need to get back to 12st 3.6lbs for that!

Thanks everyone! Still a long way to go yet though :)

Count me in too! I need to lose 2 more stone so I'm saying 28lbs at the mo but I'll update it to whatever my weight is on Jan 1st if that makes sense? Autumn500 - 35lbs Cat - 40lbs (0lbs lost, 40lbs to go) Hoz - 23lbs (0lbs lost, 23lbs to go) rushhooked - 90lbs (0lbs lost, 90lbs to go)...

So I started my weight loss journey last year at the beginning of December at 16st 10lbs. Today, I'm 12st 3.6lbs ; I've still got a little bit to go but when I look back at pictures from last year I really cannot believe what I'm looking at.... just horrible. I'll never get to that stage ever...

Another weigh in today and I;m sitting at 12st 3.6lbs which is a 1lb loss from last week. It also means i'm just 5lbs off my pledge for 2015. Unlikely I'll make the final pledge but 35lbs off in a year is really great! Overall, it brings my weight loss to a total of 4st 6.4lbs from when i first...

I go through little phases like that too so don't worry about it! I've lost a bit more today so I'm now down to 12st 4.6lbs :)

I've lost 1st 9lbs since my last post so I'm just 6lbs off my 2015 target!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last update! I'm currently on holiday and my weight has been like a yoyo! Pleased to say that as of today, I'm currently at 14st 1lb which given it's been a month since my last update is a bit poor! Needless to say, it's the right direction :)

So last week I was 14st 8lbs.... this week I'm 14st 5.2lbs :D So it's a loss of 2.8lbs :) It doesn't count towards my pledge though so I've a bit to go before it starts to count again :)

Aww congratulations KentCat :)!! Things have been a little on the negative side for me ; crept back up to 14st 8lbs on Monday :( However, today I'm weighing at 14st 4.6lbs so I seem to be back on the wagon. Please lock that wagon so I can't get back off eh? :)

Well guys I'm back! Kinda went into self destruct mode and I'm back at 13st 13lbs :( Most important thing now is that I'm now back on track with the aim to getting where I need to be!

Back on course ; down to 13st 11.8lbs today and my weigh in yesterday was 13st 12.6lbs so it's once again steadily coming off :)

I've also updated my signature and all my details to reflect where I'm currently at. Will work out how this affects my pledge too!

Thank you so much, will keep the line in safe hands! While it was a little blip, I'm now back on course!

Terrible week or so, ended up really slipping and I'm back to 13st 12lbs .... Gain of nearly half a stone :( so so disappointed

Checking in a day late with my results from yesterday..... down to 13st 7lbs. So it's only a 0.6lb change from last week. A little disappointed somehow :( List updated Wednesday 11th Feb 2015 12.11pm Joanne - pledged 56lbs - lost 9.6lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42.5lbs - lost 15.25lb (27.25 to go)...

Certainly know the feeling KentCat ; even although it's a tiny insignificant gain at times with it being 0.1lbs you still feel it's a gain and can't shift the feeling of sheer disappointment. It's tough! I'm a scales addict and I can't shift the notion of checking my weight every day. I've...

It really is..... another little loss today, 13st 7.2lbs so the daily weigh-ins seem to keep my motivation up (Sometimes:p) Hope everyone else is doing well too :)!

Had a little look at the 5:2 diet. Calorie counting has been working for me so far but I'm tempted to give that a go! Today is my official weigh in day and it's brilliant news :D ; I'm down to 13st 7.6lbs. Every week that brings a loss just adds a little slice of confidence to myself, I'm...

Oh never heard of this diet bet before? Weighed myself again today, down to 13st 8.4lbs so another cheeky wee 0.2lbs have disappeared ;)

Scales can be a terrible thing.... you either think they're the best thing ever or want to smash them up with a hammer :D! Always good to use the summer holiday as the motivator :)

That's actually a phenomenal result and it's only the end of January!!!! I've weighed myself again this morning and I'm now sitting at 13st 8.6lbs...... I'm now way past the lightest I've been during this weight loss attempt ; seemed to go up and down like a yoyo at the 13st 9.6lbs mark...

Hey... it's only 1/2 a lb and as you said you ate late last night...... I'm sure you're weigh in tomorrow will give you a result you're looking for :) I sneakily weighed myself again today too just to try and get back into the notion of my older scales..... sending the fitbit aria ones back, too...

I really wished I could stay off the scales! I use them every day and it can be quite disheartening. I'm gonna try and go to next Tuesday before I use them again!! STS would be better than a gain though so do keep that in mind if that does happen!

Weekly weigh in today and I've STS :( It's disheartening yeah but then I think of how I have had a day of drinking as part of that so it's actually not that bad. I've also had to send back my Fitbit Aria Scales ; they were making me heavier! All week I was gutted how I seemed to have been 1.7lbs...

Hope you're all doing good today! Way off course with my target of 13st 8lbs for tomorrow ; currently sitting at 13st 10.7lbs which is a 0.7lbs increase from last week. That did include a full night of drinking though so it was kinda expected. Never mind eh? :)

Welcome to the club..... all the best for your goal :D

Thank you! I was expecting a small gain today right enough and it wasn't as bad as expecting so I'm at least happy with that :)

Weighed myself today and I've put on 2lbs since my weigh in on Tuesday :( I had a night of drinking last night though to celebrate so it was kinda expected..... tomorrow is another day though! Bought myself some weights today so I'm going to start working in some weight training into my...

It's always good to have a goal to focus towards, you'll do brilliantly I'm sure :D I've also weighed myself today since it's the day before my weigh in ; I'm currently sitting at 13st 11.8lbs so I'll probably miss my target of 13st 10lbs this week. That is most definitely down to caving in and...

I have weeks like this too but just keep at it, next week is another week :)

Fantastic loss there! All the best and you definitely can do it :D

Seen a friend who I haven't seen in too long last night who made a wee comment about my weight and how she thought I'm looking good for it.... nice little comments like that gives you a motivation boost for sure :)

That's what I was thinking. That aside, it means my protein intake for today is through the roof!

Line has well and truly been drawn :) It's the first time I've had a takeaway since the middle of November so that is good in it's own little way I guess

I caved :( I ended up getting that takeaway pizza ; the result? A 4lb gain yesterday coupled by a 2lb loss today. So it resulted in me creeping back up 2lbs. Not the end of the world but see now that I had that "blow out", I've realised it wasn't even worth it :) These things happen I guess...

Thank you :) I so very nearly treated myself to a pizza from my local takeaway to 'treat' myself then thought what the heck was I thinking :eek:.... ended up opting for chicken salad wraps :)!

So my weight loss for this week is 13st 12.4lbs :D So that's a loss of 3.4lbs since last Tuesday!! UPDATED LIST - 13th JANUARY Joanne - pledged 56lbs - lost 4lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42.5lbs - lost 8.5lbs CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 4.4lbs Jimbob12345 - pledged 50lbs - lost 4.5 Hoz - pledged...

Well it's Tuesday so it's another weigh in! Really chuffed to say that this week I currently weight 13st 12.4lbs which is a loss of 3.4lbs since last week!

Had a cheeky wee weigh in today and I'm sitting at 13st 12lbs exactly! That's a bit of a drop from the other day for some reason so I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings!

Just going to kick start this thread back up for my weekly weigh-ins :) It's interesting if you have a quick read through it because it goes all the way back to 2012!!!! Anyway, for those who don't already know, weigh in for TUESDAY 6TH JANUARY was 14st 1.8lbs which was a loss of 2.2lbs from...

Just reading this back makes me so happy with how I'm doing this time around and how upbeat I'm still feeling. Reading that above I lost a lb in a month! That only got me down to 14st 9lbs. Happily sitting at 13st 13lbs this time around though and that's only a month or so in! Motivation and...

It really really is! Gives you that little motivation boost. That and the little car in my weight loss ticker.... seeing it move across towards the middle is just brill :D

aww you said it! It just gives me a great deal more hope and more determination to get to where I want! 11 stone I'm coming for you!!

I've weighed myself this morning and I've lost more weight :) officially down to 13st 13lbs now which is absolutely amazing!! I won't include this on the pledge though as it's not my official weigh in day :) just had to share

Well done Catmac..... 1lbs loss is still a loss so it's still fantastic :)!!!! Added you to the list too :) LIST AS OF 8/1/15 Joanne - pledged 70lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500 - pledged 45lbs - lost 0lbs CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 0lbs Jimbob12345 - pledged 50lbs - lost 4.5 Hoz - pledged...

You honestly have no idea how incredibly proud I'm feeling right now. I've struggled with my weight for years and while I seem to hide the overweightness well (people at work thought I was lying when I told them my starting weight), I'm all stomach and chest..... yuk! The fact I've managed to go...

First weigh in! Lost a fantastic 2.2lbs this week :D So it's just 37.8lbs to go before I'm at my target :) Joanne - pledged 70lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500 - pledged 45lbs - lost 0lbs CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 0lbs Jimbob12345 - pledged 50lbs - lost 4.5 Hoz - pledged 42lbs - lost 5.5lbs...

Lost a fantastic 17lbs since the 9th December and dropped 2" around my waist and 2" around my neck. Absolutely chuffed! Just need rid of the moobs now! :p

Great news :) hope you manage to keep it up :D !

Wednesday 10th December So I've weighed myself today just to have an idea what's going on ; I kinda plan on doing this but only count my official weight on the Tuesday! So today, I'm not sure what's happened, but my weight on the scales was showing as 15st 1.6lbs which is a change of 3.4lbs in...

Hey everyone! I'm a complete struggler ; I start off so blooming well then it all goes downhill and I end up where I started! A few years ago I lost 4 stone and started to look quite good. Returning to uni was a terrible thing and my weight shot straight back up and it's never went away again...

So here we are, volume 2 and it's unfortunately a restart diary! No excuses - I fell off the wagon once again and have maintained my unhealthy 15st 4lb weight. Totally unacceptable. It's making me unhappy and we cannot have that so I really need the motivation and kick up the backside this...

Oh so we're even atm then :p It's good to hear things are going good so far ; it's always great when you find what works for you. Calorie counting and exercise does work for me but for some reason as much as I know I need to shift the weight, I always fall off the wagon, it's never good. Doing...

Absolutely... the more the merrier :) Good luck with your weight loss! x

Checking in with yesterdays result ..... 14st 9lbs - a loss of 4lbs :D

Hello everyone! Been a hectic day today so just getting round to updating. Not the best of restarts to be honest ; 14st 13lbs today - it's a loss of 1lb so I guess I should still be happy ; it's a loss at the end of the day, not a gain! I'm just getting ready to head out for a jog so this...

I've been a bit of a failure this past year ; my weight has been up and down like a yo-yo! I know it's easy to sit here and say this time is it etc but I definitely dont want to look the way I do anymore, and it's only me who can do something about it..... so here goes! 17/06/13 - 15st 0lbs :(...

That's a very good perspective to have! I've been monitoring my weight every day for the past 5 days, just making sure that what I'm doing is working for me and not resulting in a rise ; thankfully every day has shown a slight decrease which I'm happy with.... currently sitting at 14st 7.9lbs...

A month later and I'm pretty much exactly where I was! - 14st 9lbs - while it's a pound less, it's absolutely rubbish! I have a big holiday to the land down under to get into shape for..... I can't fail this time :)!!!!!

Ah things took a bit of a nosedive unfortunately.... found myself back up at 14st 9lbs :(

I was doing so blooming well and through my own stupidity I let motivation slip and ended up piling 10lbs back on in just 2 months! Anyway, today is officially my restarting day and wiping the slate clean ; 14st 10lbs is my re-starting weight ( still not as heavy as I was when I first started if...

Bit of a late weigh-in this week ; was back at uni for a week so just got back today and to where my scales are. Don't know how it's happened, but I'm down to 13st 11lbs ..... YES :D!!!!!!!!! The excitment aside, the weight loss for the past 2 weeks seems drastic ; could this be because I put...

Shouldn't be posting this at all but I've gained 7lbs in the past three weeks - absolutely disgusted with myself but onwards and upwards - it's not something that can't be turned around!

Got up today to do my weekly weigh in ; to find I've lost 3lbs this week - brining me comfortably down to 14st on the nose. Words cannot explain :D

Lost 3lbs this week ; down to 14st 0lbs. Really exciting to think that this time 4 months ago, I was 21lbs heavier, at 15st 7lbs! This will, hopefully be my last ever week in the 14st region so I can't wait for the next stage of my weight loss :D

No change this week, still 14st 3lbs !

Just keep thinking to yourself what it'll feel like once you met your target weight... that should help you keep going :) Best of luck!!

That sounds delicious!

I used to be like that, couldn't go a day without getting some chocolate! I then started getting one of those Graze boxes weekly ; basically you get 4 little tubs of snacks, which I started to eat any time I was craving chocolate. Before long, I started craving the Graze boxes haha - you do...

Making the choice to restart is your first step to a more healthier you so well done! Wish you all the luck in the world with your weight loss, and hope you get the results you want :)

Hello everyone :) Forever Starting Over pointed me in the direction to here and it looks like it's a great place to keep motiviation! I'll definitely pop in regularly if you all don't mind :) ?

Thanks very much, really appreciate your message :) That sounds brilliant, I'll pop over there just now and have a look :) Thanks Spoo82 :) It is indeed, but I just keep thinking about how I'll feel once I hit my target, that's enough to keep me going :D That's a great perspective to have on...

After last weeks disaster, I'm chuffed to be back on course - 14st 3lbs :)

Bit gutted today, I've creeped back up to 14st 5lbs, which is a gain of 2lbs :( Ah well, never mind, this week is a new week!

Hope you all don't mind if I join in too? Last week I was 14st 5lbs, and this week I've lost 2lbs, meaning I'm doing to 14st 3lbs ... soo chuffed :) At least it isn't a gain Jabba :)

Well done on your loss this week Lucy :)

That's actually a really good perspective to have on things! Must have felt really great having reached the 4th floor - shows how far you've came eh :) Well done on your fantastic weight loss btw!

Another week, and it's another loss, absolutely delighted with myself ! I just know that if this keeps up, then i'm well and truely on my way :D Today's weight is 14st 3lbs :D

I can certainly feel it ; clothes feel a little more looser than they did before, but in terms of seeing it visually, nope.

Basically as the title suggests, how much weight did you lose before you started to notice a difference? I've lost 16lbs so far and have yet to notice any difference.

I'm using body analysis scales ; tell me my weight, bmi , bone mass and water and fat %.... Brilliant!!

Another lb lost today, down to 14st 5lbs :) - What's concerning though, is according to my analysis scales, I've lost muscle % and gained body fat % .... does this really mean that I've lost muscle mass, or just a signal I should be starting to tone up?

I'm doing good :) haven't had a gain since the start of August so the weight is slowly but surely falling off ( still can't see it anywhere myself yet though! ) :P x

Managed to weigh myself today ... i'm shockingly 14st 6lbs :O ..... how did that happen :D Absolutely ecstatic, my scales also tell me i've a body fat percentage of 32%... ouch!

Just waiting on my digital scales being delivered, so should have a weekly weigh in due in the next day or so :)

Fighting

Haha it's always the same! Good luck on getting below that 200lb mark :)

Just want Monday to come so I can get my final year of uni started!

Mines usually goes up around the 30th November :)

I say good on her in getting to where she's at, but personally, I'm not too keen on that type of look on a woman.... just a personal opinion though.

That's a relief, thank you :) I tend to get a little worried when I start to see my levels going into the red haha

What an amazing transformation, absolutely incredible! I wish you the very best for your future :)

Hey guys, as a few of you might know, I'm doing Calorie Counting to try and beat the fat! Today, I've went a little over protein, and salt.... what sort of effect is this likely to have on my weight loss attempt? Thank you :)

I'm 14st 8lbs, but I was a similar weight you were when you started too. How are you getting on now :) ? Good to see somebody else from Scotland on here too :p

Garage

I've only ever used EA Sports Active 1 and 2 for the Wii as I don't have the xbox 360 kinect ( just the xbox 360 :p ) - I thoroughly recommend them, they definitely work if you stick to it :)

Absolutely fantastic! I see from your stats your very close to your goal, you must be amazingly proud of yourself :)

Welcome back :) - it's nice to see somebody else from Scotland on here :p You did brilliantly before, so I'm sure it won't be too long before you shift those pounds you want to lose. You did it once, you can do it again :)

I'm losing weight for myself! I feel very self conscious of my weight, and as a result, I've missed out on a lot of social situations, and never had a relationship ( even though I would absolutely love to be in one ). My friends don't understand why I'm self conscious and stuff and do get...

Well done on managing to say no to the chippy :) - I know how chuffed with myself I felt when I managed to say no to a family chinese takeaway etc, and I said no without even realising so it did take me a back haha. Judging on your stats, you're doing brilliantly so far, so keep it up :)

Hey Abbey :) First things first, the first week of trying to lose weight, you lose a lot more than you normally will for the rest of your journey - so say if you lost 5lbs in the first week then only 1lbs the following, don't be disheartened, as that's pretty normal. Being on here is pretty good...

Managing to do my normal weekly weigh-in this week as I'm at home for a few days! You can't understand just how chuffed I am - I'm down to 14st 8lbs today! I just can't believe that's it's finally happening to me now, and that I seen to be in the swing of things.... I so hope that this time...

You're doing great so far... keep it up :)

Hey guys :) managed to weigh myself, and I'm absolutely delighted ... I'm down to 14st 11lbs ..... the weight is slowly but surely disappearing :D

I've now moved house and until I get scales, my weigh in might be every few weeks or so :) I'll keep you updated when I can though :)

Result :D I'm down to 14st 13lbs :)

13477

Fingers crossed tomorrow will be a loss :)

It's Monday, so that means it's my weekly weigh in! And guys, I'm back on course! :D After creeping back up to where I was, I'm now back to 15st 3lbs, a 2lb loss since last week :) So chuffed :D

Thanks for the kind words Letresta! I'm moving back to Uni at the end of this month, so hopefully that'll help me with further - I'll only have my income so I'll only have enough food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and not enough to be tempted to snack on etc. Got all my fingers and toes...

hey guys, had some internet trouble so i've two weeks to fill you in on. It's been a bad few weeks in terms of the weight loss - I've ended up back at where I started, 15st 5lbs :( - absolutely gutted but it's my own fault! I've tried calorie counting but it doesn't seem to be working to well...

Best of luck with your weight loss :)

Absolutely fantastic weight loss! You're honestly such an inspiration :)

Fingers crossed. I really don't know what caused my weight to slide up ever so slightly. If it goes up again this week, my current calorie counting clearly isn't working for me/not calculating things correctly so will need to be extra careful!! Thanks very much! Same to you too :) Thank you...

Bit of a gain this week, only 1/2lb though so nothing too drastic. Weight ; 23/07/12 = 15st 3 1/2 lbs

Thanks very much everyone! Cheers bud, I'll keep an eye on your progress too, really hope to win the challenge I've set myself, so I feel more confident than I've ever felt! Anyway, I know I'm 2 days late, but I weighed myself on Monday, and I'm down to 15st 3lbs, so that's a loss of...

What do you think is the best way to go about having dinner and exercising? Would it be best to have dinner first, exercise first, or does it not really matter which comes first?

Welcome to Minimins :) I'm new aswell, and it's nice to see a fellow scot around here too :)

Fantastic news! Wish you all the best with your weight loss :)

Being 20 years old, the weight issue has restricted me from doing things I would have loved to do - go out at weekends, be confident etc. I feel I've lost out on enough, so the weight has to go! - not just because it really has to, but so I can finally feel good about myself, and not feel like...

Hey guys! Today starts my journey to a more slimmer, healthier me, which is long overdue! I've weighed myself today,and I'm at 15st 5lbs. I'll weigh myself every Monday so here's to next week, when hopefully I can report a loss :)

Hello everyone! I'm Ryan, I'm 20, I'm a student, and badly need to lose weight! This place looks like a great place to be a part of and I'm sure it'll keep me motivated, so look foward to getting to know some of you :)
