no #91 here with start weight of 67.3kg - yikes

Hi, I'm back! This challenge has turned into a 7 week plan, and I am doing a 6 week "get into the christmas party dress" with 3 girls in work - they are all doing slimming world - trying to put across the benefits of 5:2 but falling on deaf ears

Weighed in this morn @ 67.1kg - which is ok as saw 67.8kg last week!!

Yes, this was last Xmas's target and also this year's which shows how hard it's been to get there. I shall
concentrate on staying around this mark for a while now.
Mightily relieved I can tell you!

whooohooo YOU ARE THE FIRST MEMBER TO MAKE IT TO TARGET.. WELL DONE!!!

CONGRATS @DEBS!

I too did not make last xmas target and even set a higher weight but still in some doubt.. but doesnt matter as im still on way down and feeling great.

No 5 checking in and I am 1.25lb down Yay. But I am off out for a Pizza hut dinner tonight with chocolate cake for dessert.

Hello #48 checking in end of WEEK 5

Yiippeeeeee!!! a 3.6lbs (1.6kg) LOSSSSSS making 8.4lbs overall.

So pleased I just stuck to my original plan, recognised the bodily fluctuations and changes last week that could have affected my unusual ~gain~ and I am rewarded - sorry, but I am 'patting myself on the back' today! Big shift in mindset for me

Back on the track according to my tracker too - woop-woop!

Dinner and dancing tonight at the Rememberance Dinner at the British Consulate - nom-nom-nom-sluuurp!

Hi!

I'm still 64.4kgs, no change this week. I overate too many tamales.

#10 checking in - no loss here this week but no gain either so that's OK with me as I've lost 10 lb since we started this challenge, which I'm very pleased with - I'm hoping I will achieve the 12lb goal I set and be able to achieve a bit more on top of that as there are a few weeks left yet so watch this space!

# 12 Checking in.

Last week: 79.9
This week: 79.7
Down: 200gm

Loss so far: 1.6kgs/3lb.50z

It is possible I will make it to my challenge weight. Slow and steady.

Yes slow and steady is the doable way to lose weight. Keep going @CHINCHIN

8.4 lbs in 5 weeks is spectacular @juliebulie10 how did the dinner go. sounds yum yum

Hello, number 95 checking in and am pleased to say I lost 1.5lbs since last week which, given last week's 1lb gain, is a net loss of 1/2lb. Last week I had TOTM and was eating quite a lot so I'm not surprised I gained but it is disheartening when progress is very slow. I don't think I will realistically reach my Christmas goal of another 6.5lbs loss but that's ok, this time around it's more about how I feel than a particular number as I know that it can be a bit arbitrary, so if by Christmas, 9.5 st is an uncomfortable-feeling high rather than a skinny-Minnie low, then I think I'll be in the right ballpark!

@greenmonster do you want to "officially" change your target by Chrissie. Im thinking of doing same.

Updates done so far for end of Week 5.. keep em coming girls and gentlemen and ladies.

Keep focussed. Only 6 or so more weeks and you can tuck into that Christmas dinner looking fabulous

Actually this is a great time to reassess goals. Do you think you make your weight loss goal just a bit too ambitious. If so, feel free to make an adjustment.

Maybe you are nearly at your target and with 6 weeks to go, why not think about raising the bar.. youve got this far.. keep going just a little stronger for a great result by Dec 20. Remember that dress (if you are female) or that pair of jeans (if you are a bloke) at the store. Or maybe you already have an outfit planned for the many Christmas do's but not sure if you can squeeze into them.

Or maybe you are in the third category where you probably set a good goal in the first place, have been motoring well and just need to keep doing what you are doing.

If so, keep the goal as is. Happy to change post 1 with your adjusted goals. just post a reply in this thread as i dont follow signatures.

i have been in trouble, but I did not gain 20 lbs... i am reporting 133.8... which was a bit of a struggle. and I may not report for a few more times, but i will not give up.

Late checking in because I don't feel my weigh-in day weight is a real reflection of where I am at.
I had a weekend where I overindulged in carbs, eating much more than I needed on each of 2 days. Example of one day - breakfast of muesli with full cream milk, huge bowl of fresh and stewed fruit and yoghurt, sour dough multigrain bread and butter, small amount of ham and cheese, and almond croissant. Lunch of large roll with ham, cheese, and other fillings, rocket salad with walnuts, ricotta cheese and dressing, and huge cake. Dinner of 3 course meal in restaurant, including risotto and (deconstructed) Eton Mess (VERY unusual). Chocolates, dried fruit and nuts, apples and carrots for snacks. It was our wedding anniversary...
So after 2 days like that, my weight was up 3kgs. Have done 2 fasts since, and 2 normal days, and 2kgs have gone as of this morning. I am not really sure what to report for end of Week 5 - I have been reporting an average weight but as I didn't weigh on the weekend, not sure what the average would be.
But clearly there has been a gain!!

@Juliana.Rivers, I just realised that I didn't lose 1.6kg altogether so far. One of the weeks I gained 200gms. So the accurate weight loss so far is: 1.4kg. All good though, still very content with loss so far.
