Thread: Over 100 pounds to lose...

Hi all

I came across this forum whilst looking for a support forum today.

I have just over 100 to get rid of. I'm very familiar with Weight Watchers having done it a good many times. It's been successful in the past and it's what I know so I'm going to get my books out again and get cracking.

Well, I look forward to getting to know everyone

Hi,

I also have somewhere around 100lbs to lose and need to do it before my Wedding July 2013 so am super motivated.

I'm following Slimming world and am new to this forum, its a bit weird to get used to. Bit forward of me, but as we are both aiming for about the same sort of weight loss do you want to kinda keep tabs on each other... not really sure what I mean lol.

Hey yeah that would be great! My weigh day is each Sunday morning. I take Sunday's off from worrying about what I eat. Maybe thats my problem!

Looking forward to it! I'm starting my points food diary tomorrow.

My weigh in's are on Wed's evenings. Hoping for 3lb (or more lol) loss this week although will be happy with 2lb. We shall see what the scales tell me on Weds!

ive over 100lb to get off to im doing slimming world not long started tho but finding it great welcome and GL!!

Back from weigh in. 2.5lbs down. Better then a kick in the teeth hey! How is your week going so far?

Do you do any exercise

So far my week is not going too great. So not expecting a loss at all this Sunday.

As for exercise - yes I cycle. Last year I did 2 cycle races/events which were both 70km and I finished them both. I also mountain bike and have done a fair number of events on the shorter distances of 20km. But I had surgery last month and was told to take it easy for 6 weeks so I have not done anything lately. But Monday is the 6 week mark so I plan to get back on the bike on Monday Plus I go to pilates 4x per week so will get back to that as well.

Hello and welcome to the site, I'm doing slimming world and wish you the best of luck with the weight loss

Good luck with WW.

Did you have your weigh in?

Hey, I am too scared to get onto the scale Really terrified, so I didnt weigh in... total chicken I know.

On the positive though, I am trying out my slow cooker for the first time in ages. Dusted it off this morning and have put in a load of veggies and two chicken breasts so hopefully what comes out will be edible and low in points! If not, my dogs will eat well.

Right first of all, don't be scared of the scales... make them your friend. I'm sure you will have lost some, plus you should really way yourself just to check if how you are eating is helping with weight loss if not it's futile.

How was the food?

I was really so bad last week. Chocolates, a mountain of bread, more chocolate, ice cream... so ashamed.

Just tested it, it still has two hours to go and I am not all convinced I am a terrible cook so I thought that getting the slow cooker out again would help me make some nice stuff which is low in points as it does not involve cooking as such, but more just chuck in and leave. Yet even that seems it may be dog food. Really not sure what else to do, but I will continue to look for recipes.

Oh hun, don't beat yourself up about last week. Just draw a line under it and start again. Get yourself weighed, tell yourself that is the last time you will see that weight and make a plan. I find it easier if I plan exactly what I'm eating each day...including snacks and syns. I don't really know much about ww's so not much help but there must be some tasty simple meals about.
