The original loss just meant cutting out eating the rubbish and missing meals if I wasn't hungry

Which is pretty much how I done the stone and half, I found I was eating twice as much good food than I was when I was eating crap

Started last year at 16st and dropped 3st in the first three months. Went back to eating more like I was before (read sugar!) and put 1.5st back on over the year, but pleased with an overall 1.5st loss.
Aiming to get back down to 13st and then keep it off for the rest of the year.

Ok I'm in this year.
I did great in 2015 to get down to a good weight for my wedding but have put most of it back on since so I'm going back to the 2015 lifestyle. Basically means cutting the crap out of my diet and getting a bit more exercise.
Trying yoga next week and also going to get back into running.
Weight today is 80.2 kg, around 12 stone 6 and target is 69.5 kg which will be sub 11 stone.

Heard yoga and pilates are good for flexibility and core strength.

Was around the 22 stone mark for most of the year and when I got engaged in October I decided that I needed to lose some weight. Managed to get down to 20st 5lbs in December by just cutting out fizzy drinks and a lot of sugary snacks. I still had some but limited my self a lot more than I used too. The only exercising I was doing was golfing once or twice a week, and an hour of basketball a week.
Started running in December and I am enjoying it so far, have logged quite a few runs and improving my times. I have decided that I want to run 5k's as it seems like a good target distance to work towards. I did stop the week between Christmas and new year, but back on it Monday night and went for a big walk yesterday and out for a run again tonight. Hope to get to around 20st by mid February.
I don't have an overall target weight to get to as I am quite a big guy at 6ft 5in, with a bit of muscle. I hope to just trim down and be slimmer and put on some more muscle and tone up. I'm happy to be a high weight as long as its not just fat.
I also have another goal that I am working towards this year, as well as getting married in November I hope to apply for the Scottish Fire brigade at their next intake of recruitment hopefully sometime this year. So I am working towards getting fitter for that, as I applied 8 years ago and failed on the fitness side of things.

I did great for 9 months but then returned to chocolate. The last 3 months of 2016 saw me put half a stone on, most of which in the 2 weeks over Christmas. But being of athletic build I'll shift most of that by the end of Feb, just like last year.
Cutting out the rubbish and portion sizes saw me lose over a stone in the first 3/4 of 2016.

at the start of 2016 i'd lost around 4 stone (ish).
2016 i've had a 2 week holiday to Florida, a city break to Budapest, a wedding and endless events.
I know these are poor excuses but i've found it hard to keep my diet going when stop starting, I used christmas as an excuse to start eating crap late November and i've piled on over December.
Really frustrated at myself but I know I can lose it again, was back in the gym yesterday and straight back to eating better. Feel instantly refreshed just from 2 days.
Gotta keep it going as want to lose at least 4 stone this year.

I'm in as well.
Got in great shape 3 years ago and did a couple of Tough Mudders. Changed jobs and pretty much live a nomadic hotel life mon-fri since.
The lack of routine and hotel meals has meant my weight has steadily creeped up.
Weighed myself yesterday and just under 87kg. Aiming for under 80kg this year. If this means having to change job, then so be it. Have a review with boss this month to let him know.
This is the year I get some sort of work/life balance back!
Good luck all!

I lost a decent amount of weight last year by cutting out crisps and snacks in general and stepping up the exercise. However both diet and exercise fell away towards the end of the year. This thread might actually motivate me to keep at it, so I'm in.
Just been weighed and tipping the scales at 12st 7lb's - 79.8 kg and a BMI of 26.4 (I'm 5ft 8). Aiming to achieve a weight of around 11st dead so 1.5 stone to lose. Will step up the exercise and cut out the snacking. Will reduce alcohol intake, but obviously still got to have some enjoyment! Good luck everyone.

I put a stone and a half of the two stone I lost last year. When injured from September, which limited my ability to exercise.
My diet was extremely poor, looking to remedy this again. Have a specialist appointment for my ankle in a month.
Went for a short bike ride to see how my ankle is riding. It's a bit sore but hoping nothing more then that. If all ok in the morning will start trying to do a bit more riding until I can get back running.
Aim is to get rid of the weight I've put back on and try to lose some more.

I lost over 2 stone from last year, started at a shocking 15'8, got down to 13'4 for my tough mudder in July but back to 13'10 which I'm ok with, plan to maintain my fitness and drop some more weight, doing a tough mudder n June again, and hoping to do the great north run in September. Would love to get to 12'7 but I still like a pint and the odd pizza so my diet is never going to be perfect but here's hoping.

Hows everyone going over half way into the first month already.
Still going well hitting the gym 4 times a week and have actually started running with my son also.
Good news is he got excepted into Taunton AC and has his first session tonight.
I have been suffering bigtime from sore Calves and Achilles problems but have actually started running albeit in small chunks.
I have been fitted for some insoles and bought some new Asics this week and today I ran 5k in 21.17 although slightly sore now hopefully I can keep running at least twice a week as well as the gym.
I hope you are all on your way to a healthier you in 2017.

Been struggling with my diet but other than that going ok, running twice a week and circuits twice, but upping the running to 3x this week so see how I get on.
Proper trainers and insoles will hopefully help pj, I need some new running shoes as mine are a year old now, but they'll do me a few weeks more I think.
Not stepped on scales yet, going to hold off til month end.
