I don't weigh myself - find it demotivating, but was very pleased to successfully put on a pair of jeans down a size from what I started the year wearing :-D
I'd claim a victory for willpower & hard work, but in fact I owe it all to a wimp of a pancreas, a couple of spells in hospital on morphine with an end resulty of a life sentence of no more drinking.

The extra dog walking came on the back of that as suddenly had lots of spare time. My barstool misses me though.....

I'm 6 weeks through the c25k running program and do kettlebells two or three times a week. Weight is stuck at 14st 8lb but I'm not bothered - gut and double chin have gone! My only problem now is chafing :-(

3 stone and 4lbs lost for me thus far.

from 18 down to 14-10.

I'm pretty much at my target now, which was 14 and a half stone. :)

How's everyone else doing?

Well done.

My stone loss in a month was a bit extreme. It was a busy month workwise, walking 10-20km a day on the hill 6 days a week.

I also had a stomach bug, not eating much for a whole week, losing 7lb in 7 days - still at 13st 5lb though! Need to start running again as am office bound for a few weeks.

Just found this thread so I'd thought I'd post. Started to eat properly 21st March at 18st. Now down to 15 st. The greatest joy is being able to fit in my Seeland trousers ready for the winter. My targets 13 st whenever that happens. Well done to everyone there is some impressive shedding of lbs going on.

Well I got a mild case of C-19 and dropped 6 lbs. The lightest I have been in a number of years.

I had a check this evening and I’ve put 6 lbs back on. At least it wasn’t more than the 6lbs!!

With the extra exercise I am getting I have lost a little more - now I am 10 stone 4 and a half pounds, down from nearly 17 stone.
The trousers and shirts I made for my 10st 7lb figure are loose-ish but the muscle more defined!
