Hi all

Well done LesleyJane - great result. Good luck with the no smoking as well :).

I lost just a little one this week - ½lb. I'm not hugely disappointed because I didn't stick religiously to my diet this past week. What with picnics, bread, chips

and the like. Its not been my best :roll:.

Back to it now with a vengeance. Got that 2 stone target to reach next (5lb away) so would like at least 3lb next week - tough but reachable. Plus my personal target of 3 stone before my holiday at beginning September has gone a little off - now says I wont reach that until late September and Im not having that :wink:.

all. Hope its a good week.

Put 5lbs on while on holiday (but boy was it worth it! Got 2 birthday cakes!!!) lost 3lbs this week up to now (started my diet on Monday) I've got 3 weeks to lose as much weight as possible now, hopefully about 1 stone but I'll be happy with anything!

Hi all,
Managed to lose just a 0.5lb this week

but as it was youngest sons birthday and I did a buffet for the family???? 5lbs in 5 weeks I need to speed up a little so when I am feeling better (have had an eye infection) I will get on to exercising.
Have finally booked our flights to Zakynthos for 5th August so it is all go on the SW diet plan now!!!!
Keep up the good work everyone.

I am doing this fast fix diet that was in one of the sunday paper magazines at the weekend, as I still have half a stone to lose by the 18th. Well at the risk of tempting fate, I just had to let you all know how I'm getting on.
I got on the scales this morning and couldn't believe my eyes ( I know I should have waited till Monday as that's my weigh day, but my jeans were hanging off my bum!) I've lost a total of 5lbs since starting this on Monday :pele

.. Thing is, I've got a week to go till my hols, should I keep it up or stop when I lose the 7lb in total.........? :?:

Well done Irene :D. It doesnt matter how long it takes - a little bit at a time is better than nothing at all.

CazzMicknTom (well done by the way :D). What I think you need to ask yourself is, do you want to loose any more weight after your holiday and also will those holiday clothes fit if you loose any thing more than the 7lbs before you go :?:

. If your clothes will be too big (oh what a thought :wink:

) for your holiday then you should stop and then if you want to, you can pick it up again after your holidays to loose the holiday tum. What a dilemma

I would love to lose 5lb in one go - being really good so far this week though so fingers crossed

Well done everyone

I am doing better with the cigarettes than I am with the food

but am doing brilliantly with the wine........ none at all

I am now at the weight I was when I stopped losing weight a few weeks ago. I had put on 2lbs. Well that's not strictly true as I was fluctuating between 8.13 and 9.1 but I am at the 8.13 again.
This is the hardest bit for me as only once or twice over the last year have I got to 8.12

I really need to do some exercise. But I am so lazy :oops:

But I really want to lose about another 5lbs

srhjnmgn,
Thanks for your advice. I always buy my holiday clothes when i have 7lb to lose as that is what I generally put on whilst on holiday, so they will still fit me when I come back home. I've been trying since easter to lose it and it's been really hard tyhis year. I think I'll keep going till next week and if I feel like I'm losing too much I'll stop. After saying all this, with my luck, I'll probably not lose another ounce :roll:

Oh, and once I'm back home, that's it...diets on hold till next year :wink:

That's a good idea.
I am terrible on holiday. I will eat loads more than I would a home and drink about the same :oops:

Had a good one this week - 3lbs off (only 2lb to go for the 2 stone mark). Its also put me right back on target for my 3 stone goal for mid August. Well happy. Really tried hard this week so feel rewarded and very pleased with myself :D.

Hope everyone has a good week :gluck

You gals are doing great and I feel positive today!!!!!!

Had a good day at work and apart from a few mint imperials I've been as good as gold.

Hi everyone
0.5lb on this week but it is that 'time on the month' I had to have chocolate yesterday otherwise I would have been on a murder charge!!!!

We had a 'new members' last night at SW class which was good a few things I had not realised/thought of - breakfast for me is tinned grapefruit in juice and/or Activia Yoghurts, these are not free - well certain Activia yoghurs are and some not. Plenty of new ideas so 11 weeks to go till my holiday - working towards the half stone for next week :wink:

Well done Irene.

The Muller Light yoghurts are free (but not the dessert variety). Have you thought about trying them? My favourites are the "toffee" flavour and ive just discovered the "banana & custard" flavour which is lurvely :). I really feel like its a proper treat when I have that one. The "vanilla" flavour is good if you mix it with strawberries or any fresh fruit but I thought it was a bit bland on its own.

I already knew that all canned fruit is "synable" and we were told that fresh is always best (but I cant do fresh grapefruit, too much of a lip pursing experience :roll:

).

Have a good week (a little bit of chocolate wont do you any harm. I had a couple of chunks this week for the same reason as you. That whole kilo bar is the one that would make the difference though

)

Hi Sarah
Can't have the Muller yogs as they are not suitable for veggies. I love fresh grapefruit but I seem to end up covered in juice when I am preparing them thats why I went for the tinned. I really miss my cereal but don't like to use up my milk allowance - use that for coffees.
I have still got the 'sweetie' tooth today, just had a fun size milky way but that I found really sweet!!!!
Oh well JP and chilli tonight - have printed off quite a few recipes from the SW site so going to look at them later and write the Asda shopping list for tomorrow - need a bit of variety me thinks.
Speak soon.
