Targeted weight loss for 2011

[Dane End Dolly]

Right i am going to do a brave post, never let my weight be known.

I am 210lbs, 5'7" tall, I have decided to weigh myself every Sunday and as of last Sunday, i have lost 2lbs.

I have a Kinect and i am doing the EA Sports 2 exercises 4 times a week, and i seem to have lost inches, i have to say it is the hardest and best kind of exercise i have done as it is like circuit training lots of cardio, mixed in with weights to give a full workout. I am also concentrating on what i am eating and portion control, but i am not counting calories.

I have decided to post as it will be more incentive for me to "kick my own buttt" into doing this as people as i have made it public. Hopefully joining in with you guys will keep me going as i am looking to lose (slowly and steadily as i want to keep it off) 42lbs and then see how it goes, I have to say though i am looking on this long term and as a lifestyle choice rather than a diet, does anyone think that is a good idea, rather than doing the weight watchers, i would appreciate any advice.

I have lost 2lb this week, which is good, because I didn't really get my head in gear very quickly. Seeing everyone back to uni involved too many 'farewell' meals, as they all went on different days.

Lost 2lbs this week on my first week of Slimming World...

Right - one week on, weigh in on Tuesdays and I've lost all of ... wait for it.... half a pound. A very modest achievement I admit, but at least it is a loss not a gain!

Hai

I'm aiming to loose 3 stone this year...preferably by August which I think is perfectly reasonable. I weighed myself before xmas and I was 13 and a half stone, so I'm gonna hazard a guess its 13 and 3 quaters after excessive alcohol consumption over xmas

I don't have scales, but there are some at work. I work random shift patterns so I will weigh in when I get the chance, plus I can weigh in at the gym.

I intend to do this by:

Start cycling again (to work, 5 miles return)
Walking to work sometimes
Reducing portion sizes to normal ones
Gym once a week
Swimming (gonna try once a week but not sure I can afford it at £4.50 a go!)
Start doing my physio for wrists, shoulders and lower back daily (one of the reasons i started slacking off excercising was joint pain - doh!)
And, the most challanging part - I'm going to give up bread for a week (I eat bread with absolutley everything) and see how much weight I lose, maybe that will make me think about how much bread affects my weight.

Good luck everyone!

Weighed on Monday - haven't been on the Vine since Sunday (busy times at work) and lost 2 lbs! Very pleased with that.

Good evening everyone, hope im not too late to join in, i actually started slimming world at the end of August after seeing my holiday snaps, so far i have dropped two dress sizes, i was thrilled to find i was a size 16 on Christmas eve!! thus the rush to matalan to buy smaller jeans for over Christmas, i have lost a total of 18lbs.
My goal is to reach 10st 7lbs, with no time scale attached as of yet which is another two stones.
My weigh in is on a Tuesday and i lost .5lb on the 11th.

Good luck everyone

I'm going to get on and update everyone's weight loss over the weekend. Unless someone else gets there first....

[Glutton4...]

Well, as they've gone out, I got on my Folks' scales!!!!! 13st 2lb in old money, which is 184lb, which is 83.5 kilos, which is about half a Ton!

I will try and make Saturday my weigh-in day, as that's when my Folks go shopping, so I can sneak on to their scales without any 'politics' IYKWIM!
