Any progress is progressYesterday was a complete fail, went out with the kids in the morning and the plan was to be home for lunchtime but nobody wanted to go home yet and we ended up in kfcI didn’t have dinner but had a bowl of cereal later in the evening. Didn’t bother tracking calories at all yesterday. Kids are back to school next week so it’ll be easier to stay on track.
But, Monday mornings are my weigh in day and I had lost 1lb. I’m still struggling to accept that a 1lb loss is good, I think this comes from my slimming world days and everyone competing for the biggest losses
Can I join please? I don’t get weighed though I do measurements and go by my clothes fitting better/worse 
I’m going back to America in 7 weeks time so I want to lose a bit of weight before then and I have a pair of jeans I want to fit into by Christmas (I’m an 18/20 now and they’re a 16)

Weighed in this morning at 93.3kg, was 93.6kg this time last week. Had a completely off plan weekend but tried to claw it back since Monday. Pleased with that.
My first ~Wednesday Weigh-in~ for the WLAHL Christmas Challenge, (but week 2 of my efforts)!
It's been an OK week. I've been fairly conscious of what I've been eating and I've kept up with my promise to myself to walk each morning (M-F), and I lost a lot initially then gained the last few days - I suspect TOTM
Also, crisps.
A good start, and it puts me about 2.5 weeks ahead of where I thought I might have been, a handy buffer which should help keep my spirits up when it slows down.
This week I need to remember to leave my purse in the car when I'm at work so I don't buy snacks to cheer me up or give me an excuse to take a break
It's been super motivational to me knowing that you lot are trying, sharing, losing and gaining and that not one of us is finding it a breeze - thanks, Team WLAHLCC!

Ooo love this!! I lost 10kgs with calorie deficit and exercise last year, then piled it all back on when I brought my house. Going to try and use the same method this time but without lockdowns preventing holidays and socialising it is going to be more difficult. I've got about 3 weeks worth of holidays planned in the next 16 weeks. Aiming to lose 0.5kg per week to keep it reasonably achievable.
Height: 169cm
Start Weight: 78kg
Christmas Goal Weight: 70kg
I am going to try and do 30 mins exercise at 70% max heart rate every day I am not away from home

Hi everyone hope you don't mind a new member joiner 
I've been struggling to shift the 15kg or so I've put on since COVID. I've been struggling with some health and mental health issues which feel like a barrier to getting healthier and losing weight but the weight also affects my health and MH so its all very circular! I just want to feel good in myself and also feel happier about my appearance again. I've been slowly working through couch to 5k on treadmill, its way too humid (80% humidity!) where I live to run outside in the summer. Going to add swimming and maybe some weight training too.

I’ve gone off the boil today… got a promotion at work so it’s fish and chips for me tonight!
Joining in to hopefully keep me motivated!
My start weight: 69kg (20th June 2022)
Current weight: 65.4kg
Goal weight: 57kg
I hit my goal weight before lockdown and then covid and a few personal events have meant the weight has crept up.
Just finished my current PT block and I’m not continuing due to timing with me starting a new job where I’m in the office full time. Normally exercise 4/5 times a week and I’m in a calorie deficit but hoping I wont fall off the waggon when I go back to the office.
One plus side though is that I’ll be getting a lot more steps in now as I’ll be walking to and from the train station!

Start weight 198.5 Lbs/ 90kg 7/7/22
Current weight 182 Lb/ 82.55kg 1/9/22
Today was weigh day for me! I got my 1stone certificate and also slimmer of the week so I was pleased (lost 4lb since last weigh)
I’ve been quite good food wise… I’m used to healthier options. Salads. Not even craving any junk. I can happily take the kids to McDonalds and give it a miss. According to my weekly stats on MFP I’m consuming on average 1000-1200 calories a day… some days are higher than others but the higher ones are generally counteracted with exercise.
My kids are back to school Monday. Hopefully this will mean that I can start getting back to a normal routine and going to the gym again. I haven’t been properly for years. I’d say since the first lockdown really. But I want to get back into it as the gym will be my maintenance too once I reach my target.
Everyone is doing so well! Keep up the motivation x
