Its official, I have lost 31 lbs in three months! YAY!!!

Jul1220118:51 a.m.

Today I woke up feeling really hungry and I had a feeling my weigh-in would be a good result. Every Tuesday for the last three months I get up and before I do anything else (well almost anything else) I get on the scales and record my weight. Today I broke the two stone barrier and feel fantastic about it. I have now lost a total of 31lbs and it feels great. Laughing

The extra mileage this week would have helped nudge the weekly 1-2lb weight loss up a little, and it did! 3lbs this week and that is a boost as my weight loss has been slowing down of late and two weeks ago I only lost 1lb and was disappointed.

Anyhow...11lbs to go to reach my target weight.

mmm.......breakfast will not be cereal but cooked this morning I think!!!

  • JoCompton 'That's fantastic, well done. I've also been trying to lose weight and have gone off the boil a bit recently but back to running means those pounds should come off. I'm a 12 min miler to but I like to think I'm slow and steady and will get faster in time for next year. Good luck with the training and weight loss.' added 12th Jul 2011

  • Baker001 'I am diabetic so I can put weight on very easily. However I can also lose it if the portions are smaller and there is more protein than carbs. i know you need carbs for energy but I have ditched potatoes only have small portions of brown pasta once a week but have loads and loads of veg. it's hard but we can motivate each other.' added 14th Jul 2011

  • juliebee 'peterb - article in RunnersWorld online this month about losing weight reminds us what we sometimes forget - if the body thinks it is starving it will hold on to what it has ... If I plateau when trying to lose a few pounds, I jazz it up a bit and eat more for a couple of days, may just be a jacket potato for supper or porridge AND yoghurt for brekkie and then go back to my usual generally lower carb amounts - might be psychological but it works for me :) ' added 16th Jul 2011

  • Tonypminter 'Juliebee My old habit was to skip breakfast and have just a coffee. Thinking going into the day with an empty stomach was beneficial. Wrong! Despite not always feeling like breakfast I eat it now. And it hasn't stopped me losing weight in fact I do think it helps. It wasn't easy to change years of eating habits but I trust my new eating habits now and I feel better too! ' added 16th Jul 2011
