Hey, Hey, Hey, it's weigh day

Lost 1+3/4lbs. Gon on hols on Wed. and I'm 7lb behind target.

What worries is me that we are all inclusive so I'll come back carrying at least another half a stone which means harder dieting for the summer hols

Wow, you are all doing fab, that's wonderful!!

hi sarah, that is brilliat, i still havnt started, the problem is i am good all day at work but as soon as i come home i eat everything in sight, are you going to slimming world classes or just doing it by yourself ? i was thinking of joining their online membership, but not sure if that would work as no-one would be weighing me ! I really will have to get started but finding it really hard just now.

I go to SW classes. You could always join online and then weigh each week at a local Boots store on their scales. Just a thought.

I like the strictness of having to go to a class each week. Its part of what keeps me motivated, that and fitting into all my smaller clothes

which is so good 8).

Hiya

Got weighed last night at WW & only lost 1/2 Ilb, last week was my first weigh in & lost 3Ilb. Extremely disapointed however I'm going to stick to it (was very tempted to have a bottle of wine & toblerone).

Going away in 8 weeks desperatly need to lose a stone. Going away this weekend so going to have salds friday, Sunday, Monday & just eating out on Saturday.

Fingers crossed for next weigh in & good luck to everyone.

Hi all.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Haven't touched a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar for about a month now. Also stopped eating chips a couple of weeks ago and cut right back on the bread. Starting to run out of ideas of things to eat. I seem to be living on salad, jacket potatoes, soup, cereal and fruit. I'm also doing a little exercise regularly and don't seem to be losing any weight. The disheartening thing is, I'm only after losing up to half a stone but getting nowhere. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Help

Maybe you are not eating enough?

I honestly don't know because I've gradually cut things right out of my diet too, I'm just thinking that it takes time perhaps. don't want a quick fix for holiday, I want to have a lifestyle change so that my only problems in the future are the odd half a stone put on over a period of indulgence.

So the wine has gone, the crisps I haven't touched in 2 months, cut down on pasta and potatoes and replace with veg. Ah well!

Great news for those of you who are doing well though!

Shirleyh - do you drink alcohol? Most alcohol is extremely calorific. I have been advised that the best alcoholic drinks are any white spirits with diet mixers and everything in moderation which goes without saying. Since starting my diet, I don't really drink anymore. A few times I have been out and stuck with vodka and diet coke. No more wine or lager which are the biggest culprits !! Anyway, listen to me lecture :wink:

.

Ameliajane - ½lb off is better than ½lb on. Dont give up so soon after your first weigh in. Stick at it. It might just take time for your body to start showing results. Its hard when you want to see them straight away but I can assure you that they will show if you keep it up

everyone.

Hi All
Glad to see that things are working out for most of you. Keep going
Weigh in was Tuesday and I lost 2lb :wink:

Really chuffed as I had eaten out 1 night. On my way to half a stone.
It is certainly true that you can sometimes not eat enough, I had a bad week last week not feeling very well hardly ate anything and put 0.5lb on.
Keep going everyone

Hi Girls do you mind if I join you

I wasn't planning on going on holiday this year, so I haven't really been putting much effort in. But I have had an awful year so have decided that I need a couple of weeks in the sun to relax.

I have lost about half a stone since the new year, but it's all stopped now.

If I give up the booze it should start kicking in again.
Not that I am a lush you understand :shock:

but a glass or two (sometimes 3 :shock:

) of an evening seems to be my down fall.

So if it's OK with you I'd like to join you.

I have 11 weeks tomorrow till I go away.

Half a stone would be amazing, but it might be asking too much

Lesley Jane. Good luck with the weight loss. You can do it.

Well done to Irene and Lally - keep it up :yipee

Had a strange (but nice) diet day today. We took our daughter to the beach (not perhaps the best day weather wise but it was ok - got sand blasted and managed to bring half the beach home with us :roll:

). Anyway, I had a half bag of seaside chips - OMG they were to die for :lol:

Im in heaven

. Have counted them as syns and hopefully they wont make too much of an impact on those scales on Tuesday. Honestly, they were so nice I dont care much they were such a nice treat (but ask me tomorrow :wink:

).

Have a good bank holiday tomorrow and for the rest of the week everyone. Will check in later. :gluck

Well done AJ

I have set myself a challenge

Along with losing weight I am giving up drinking (to help with the weight) and giving up smoking.

I bet people are going to love having me around
