Hi
Don't think the kelp tablets are helping me 'wee' more. Although I will keep hoping for good hair, skin and nails.
Tried green tea - ok will try the hot water and slice of lemon - good for 'your insides'
Not very hungry tonight - although did have some cold AH vegetable rice earlier. Going to have a JP with beans and cheese.
Off to do some ironing first.

Hi Sunaholic, thanks for your kind words. Just feel a bit down today (not like me at all, usually well happy!). You are right of course, just going to keep at it and try to exercise more......
Where abouts in Mexico you off to? Never thought of going to USA first - brilliant idea!!!

Denny

We're going the Riviera Maya, staying at the El Dorado Royale. We knew we definately wanted to do New York as part of this holiday, so we looked at loads of places to join onto it but we just fell in love with this resort, just what we were looking for!
I know what you mean denny, I have those days but then I put on a pair of trousers that are just that little bit looser than they used to be and I remember why I'm doing it

Struggling now taken 2 weeks to lose a 1lb. 5lb to go to target weight and 8 weeks to my hols.

well i put on another pound!!! work is just stressing me out at the minute so much so i have been applying for all sorts of other jobs and hopefully i will sort myself out so i can start losing weight again. well done to all you losers i am very jealous!!! lindsay.

Ok i went out on thurday and messed up big time, I was doing fine until we got home and decided to have 3 more beers and half a bag of m&m's (dont even like them ) so syned it up including the curry and i had gone 19.5 over my 70 syns, so i thought ok i will pull back and then guess what....... I got the cheese out to make my son a sandwich and it looked like it had been attacked by a bear. That must have been me when i had more than one too many cos no one else would have left it in that state ( dont think i even used a knife) and guess what i dont even remember eating it ( well sort of but not if you know what i mean)

Oh why oh why oh why do i do these things

I really hope i dont gain on wed.

Whatever we have, it's catching because, after my big gain, I've decided that it's too much pressure to go to class if I'm not losing. Plus I am not in the right frame of mind at the moment. So I am going to try to continue to be more careful without the pressure of having to get weighed and lose each week. I've started walking again so let's see.
I'm rooting for the rest of you, so keep going

I didn't go to SW class this week because I knew I had put on three pounds and I couldn't have put up with the look I would have been given by the class leader. I sent her a text to say that I had storm damage in my garden and wouldn't be going in.

I have got myself into a bad place where, due to pressure of various things, I have been eating just for the sake of it. I have been eating my way through the Easter chocolate.

I know my problems are no different from everyone else's but it makes me mad that I am so weak that I turn to food for comfort. I know it is counter productive and yet I do it anyway.

One thing I do not want to do is to give up the class as I know I will quickly put back on the weight I have already lost.

I am hoping this is just a blip and that I will get back on track soon.

Aw Sydney.... I think alot of us are comfort eaters. Some of us have problems that will never be resolved...you just have to learn to get by...and that's when you turn to chocolate and other such foods. I'm going to think of this as a lull with the intention of going back when I can give it 100%.I got an email from my SW leader and I replied that, as I couldn't give total commitment, I would be taking a break until I was in the right frame of mind to continue.

Let's cheer on everybody else who is getting good results and hope that their successes will spur us on to start again.

Morning everyone
This 'nasty bug' is catching last night I ate 4 gingerbread men biscuits - don't know why as I wasn't hungry - they were just there. I feel better if I 'confess' I am hoping there won't be a weight gain this week as I had one last week and know I could end up on that slippery slope
Also I am helping out with weighing/collecting money this week so will need to get there earlier and don't want to be sitting there when other people are having good weight losses and I have not and it is all through my own stupidity - although our consultant doesn't make you feel awful if you have had a bad week like some I have heard of. Was sort of hoping I would get my club 10 this week.
I start the Easter break from school on Thursday and have been known to do better when I am off work.
Lets keep positive and for those that are 'slipping' at the moment lets hope everything sorts its self out soon.
Hugs to everyone
Irene

Hi all

I only relised the other day that i got my club 10 when i went to weigh in on wednesday (thought i had 1lb to go) but when i put my weight in on the slimming world site my award popped up so i went and had a look in my book and yes i had it, phoned my consultant and she said she would give me my award this wednesday

God knows what damage i did on thursday so keep your fingers crossed for me that i dont have a gain please.

I have decided that the sea kelp are not helping with the weight loss but i can defo see a improvment in my hair so i am going to keep taking them.

Goodluck everyone

Hi All,

This seems to be the perfect topic for me, so i hope you dont mind me joining in!!

I have always had the "I dont care" frame of mind when it came to my weight, but just after xmas i had had enough and joined Scottish Slimmers 4 weeks ago. I had lost 6.5 pounds, but then had a night out and ended up gaining 1.5 pounds last week - gutted!!!

Hoping to lose and be back on track again this week so fingers crossed! I have 2 weddings to go to this summer and my hols in September, so even if i lose 1lb a week ill be a lot lighter by September hopefully!

Good luck to you all who are trying to lose weight - it is very difficult! Im not making any huge goals - just 1lb a week - anything above that and ill be happy My friend who joined with me has lost a massive 10lbs in 4 weeks, but she is a nurse and on her feet all day, whereas i just sit in an office munching my way through the day!

Hi all, and welcome GlitterGirl.

Seems everyone is struggling at the moment.? PLEASE don't give up, I'm stuggling too - no idea why because i've been so good in the past. I think maybe it's so much harder when you have been at it so long??

I was thinking of maybe changing my diet ( still going to weigh in at SW), maybe following WW (I can get info off a friend at work) or some other 'good' diet? And see if that makes any difference? Maybe I'm bored??

The sea kelp tabs don't seem to be making any difference either, I'll still keep taking them though - just in case!

I also think I need to up the exercise, and can't wait for the lighter nights so I can go walking at night.- My hubby is not keen on me going in the dark..... I have bought a couple of exercise DVD's but not had time to look at them yet - that's an excuse - I've not had the inclination to look at them yet!!!!!

Anyway I'm off to bed now (if I'm asleep I can't raid the biscuit tin). Talk soon. Good Luck everyone. Denny

Hi all to everyone.
The feeling down and not dieting properly must be catching. I am having a terrible time at the moment. Have even thought the same as you hbrac - just giving up the class for a little while, trying out on my own and eating healthy. I know that this wont work though, all those good intentions just dont work for me. They start off well but by the end of the day, its all forgotten and I just graze my way through the kitchen cupboards, fridge, biscuit tin then feel guilty the next day following it with a repeat performance. I dont want to get into that major cycle again.

It hasnt helped that my husband had a smash in the car this car this whilst taking my daughter to nursery - thankfully, it was purely damage to the car and both husband and daughter are fine but now we have to find money that we dont really have (or should I say do have, but were saving for our holiday which has now had to take a back seat). Top that off with having tonsillitis again, ive been in no mood to diet.

Anyway, going to give it 100% from today and for this week to get back on track and shed those last few lbs.

Chin up everyone. Summer is coming and we all want to feel confident and happy.

Sarah

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO the sun is out
Nearly time to take the coat off, I dont feel ready yet
Anyone else dreading the secure feeling that the magic coat seems to bring or maybe thats just me

Still feeling abit down over thurdays blow out but i have got back on plan and i am trying my best to put it behind me but until my weigh in i just cant settle ( think its because i have not gained yet and i am dreading it )

Enough of my moaning. How is everyone else today

Kerrie

Oh Sarah, sorry to hear about the bump in the car. As long as hubby and little girl are OK...... Damage to the car can soon be sorted - even though it's money you can do without spending! Bad luck with the tonsilitis too. Poor you.

What's up with us all?? All feeling down and fed up.! (excuse the pun) It's a lovely sunny day even though it's cold. Summer will soon be here and we will soon be sunbathing in our bikinis and it will all be SO worth it.......

Back on diet 1000% and hope to God i've lost something this week!!!!!

Good luck everyone!!!

Denny

keep taking the kelp tablets they arent miracle pills so let them get into your system properly first it normally takes about 4-6 weeks before you notice any difference but they wont do the work for you you still have to stick to your eating plan!!!! i am having so much stress at work that it is hard to stick to my plan i have been filling in lots of application forms so hopefully that will pay off soon. good luck to all, lindsay

Well tomorrow is the day for me to see if i have pulled back enough to salvage the week God i hope so

How has everyones day been hope you have all had a good one.

I will come back tomorrow to let you all know what happened ( scales wise )

Goodluck to all that weigh in tomorrow

Kerrie

I've been extra good today and just off to weigh in........

Good luck everyone.!

Denny
