That's great news JaneMarple!

I haven't posted here in some time and have gained back any weight that I lost earlier this year. I am starting to get back on track though and hope to be losing more weight this time and keeping it off!

After a fun filled birthday when I ate what I wanted, only put a pound on this week, making me Eight Stone Seven pounds (eight and a half stone) which is pretty impressive, it could have been more!

It is December, and I eat a little more chocolate and other goodies than usual. Still stayed the same weight however - Eight Stone Seven pounds (Eight and a half stone, or 119 pounds!) Thats fine with me!

And it's still a steady week, not a pound on or off And considering December is always a "bad month" for food, for me, I couldn't be happier Eight Stone Seven pounds (Eight and a half stone, or 119 pounds!) Next week will probably be a different story!

Fingers crossed for you Jane but that is wonderful so you can relax and if you gain a pound or two I know you will soon shift it once more.

I think it's four or five weeks since I've posted, but I've had Christmas and two breaks away during that time ....
Ok, excuses over Over the Christmas break I put on five pounds, making me Eight Stone Twelve pounds but I am pretty sure that will go quickly. I've started my diet in earnest again

You deserved a treat and you will soon lose it as it hasn't 'settled'.

I lost three pounds this week, making me Eight Stone Nine pounds

There see, I said it won't have had time to settle.

Same this week

Still Eight Stone Nine Pounds

Another week, and another pound off - Eight Stone Eight pounds - almost at my pre-Christmas weight

And another pound off. I'm Eight Stone Seven pounds (Eight and a Half Stone) I'm the same weight as before Christmas

Been two or three weeks since my last update - still the same, Eight Stone Seven Pounds (Eight and a half stone)

Been a few weeks since I have updated my weight loss. Now Eight Stone Six pounds

It's been a while but my weight is still sliding on the downward scale! With a few hiccups, I am now Eight Stone Five Pounds . I am really pleased. Mum has also done well, and lost some weight over the last year too. We're going on holiday in nine weeks so we've got to keep going, so we can pig out!

Do you mind if I join in. If I have something where I have to say what I am then I may get some motivation back.

I'll have to post my weight in Kilos as it's too complicated to put it in pounds.

My weight the last time I was weighed was 123.

My goal for now is to get back to double digits.

So can I join in?

I'm not sure if anyone is still using this thread but when I weighed myself at the gym today I was down to 120kg.

I've revised my goals aswell. My long term one is to get back to double figures but my short term goal is to lose 10% of my current weight.

This would put me down at 108 kg.

I'll cheer you on then! Short term goals are better anyway, you can get them in your sights more easily. Good luck to you.

My weight is still on the downward scale but sometimes put on a pound which goes the following week

Jane I am so proud of you, losing weight is one thing but you have consistently kept it off and that is so much harder. Congratulations.

Been a few weeks since my last update, but I am now Eight Stone Four Pounds (116 pounds) It's the lowest I have been for a VERY long time. I'm not purposely trying to lose weight any more, but am pleased when a pound or two slips off. Considering nearly five years ago, I was nearly five stone heavier, I couldn't be happier

My updates will only be done monthly as that is how often the gym I attend does them.

The 3 kilos I lost I put down to the government. I have to do a program called Work for the Dole as I'm currently unemployed and to get to where it is I have to walk about 20 minutes from the train station, and given that I haven't been to the gym much - (I've had some personal issues) this is really the only excercise I'm doing.

It did take me 3 months to lose the 3 kilos but hopefully it won't take me as long to lose the next 3 as I plan to start going back to the gym now that the issues don't really exist anymore.

Good going Jane.

Good for you, littlesuzie , and slow and steady is the best way to go. Jane, that's wonderful and you show far more discipline than I could! I have, thankfully, never had to diet. I am not saying that as *bragging* or anything like that, just blessed with a good metabolism. If I had to diet, I don't know that I could persevere the way you have. Yay for you!

Still the same weight this week - Eight Stone Four Pounds (116 pounds)

I don't really diet. I mainly just do the excercise side of things. The diet I do have is imposed on me by not having enough money to buy all the "yummy" stuff.

I need to get a scale, but I noticed in 2 months, I've dropped 2 jeans sizes. I also bought a pair of jeans I'd like to get into for motivation.

I've got a pair of them lying around somewhere. They used to fit, I want to get back into them. Their a style I like that I don't seem to be able to get anymore.

I use the scale at the gym. My scale would be useless at the moment as it doesn't go as high as my weight - it's also too hard to read it an analog one.

Still the same weight this week - Eight Stone Four Pounds (116 pounds)

I just got weighed at the gym today and I've lost 1.9 Kilo's this month. I've gone to the gym about once a week. I hope to go more. I need more time though. I'm starting a course on Monday (a night course), am hoping to start another course in August (it depends on numbers as to whether it runs or not) and have just got a job as a relief childcare worker.

I'm still walking everywhere as Dad's car isn't working.

I'm now 118.1. I decided to make my goal to be to lose 2 kilos by next month but I'll probably lose more due to everything I'm doing.

What I really need to do now though is get the eating side of things under control.
