Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Donna, on the 15th January in the evening I weighed in at 10 stone 4 lbs, yesterday evening I weighed in at 9 stone 8 lbs, so that is a loss of 10lbs, if I take the reading from the morning it is .5lb less, so that would be 9.5lbs

Overall I am very happy at the rate I am losing, as long as I see a slow decline it is fine. I really want to get down to 9 stone then it will give me more leeway, say for instance if I want to have a meal out.

Yes - once I get into single figures in stones my target will be 9st. Will see how I feel then if I want to lose any more or not.

What height are you Emma?

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Donna I am about 5'7", when I first started low carbing I decided I wanted to be around 9 stone 7lbs, I got down to 9 stone 8lbs before and I was fairly happy with that, but if my weight crept up a bit and went just over 10 stone I really didn't like the way I started to notice the weight going on, I could really see it in my face

So I have reassessed my goal and decided I want to be 9 stone, however if/when I get to 9 stone I am going to do some more exercise including free weights (which I love) so I will no doubt naturally put a bit more weight back on, but I will make sure I keep to the low 9's this time.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


I am a shortie at 5'2 so 9st will probably not be enough. Was 8st before when I dieted after having the two children. But as I get older it is harder to keep the weight off!!!

Will have a 9st goal to start with as it isnt as far away as 8 and reassess it then!!!

What is free weights?

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Before I low carbed I weighed just over 12 stone (that was the photo I sent to you) so if I get to 9 stone I will be very happy indeed, also 9 stone with my height means that my body mass will be about 20 which is the lowest I can go within the healthy category without being classified as underweight, I might even once I get to 9 stone buy some of those fancy scales which tell you your body fat to weight ratio

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Free weights are hand held weights which you lift using various different method, think barbells and dumbells. About 8 years ago before I moved I use to go to the gym a lot, 5-6 times a week, I was totally addicted to it, I love the way it made me feel, and I was very toned, I loved lifting weights, and I could even lift up a washing machine by myself and now that we are settled in to our home and I have more free time (drawing aside) I really do want to get some of that fitness back, me and the OH do go out on our bikes at the weekends when the weather is good
