Thread: Green Team!

It's weigh-in time for me tonight :-/ I had a SP yesterday and according to my scales I'm pretty much the same as last week. However I have definitely noticed that my clothes are a little looser. Does anyone else find that this happens sometimes? ...you definitely lose 'bulk' but the scales take a while to catch up? I'm not going to let it bother me - the main thing is I want to be smaller! So no matter what the scales say, if my clothes fit better then I'm happy :-)

Just had first weigh in, 6lbs off. Definitely sticking with green

WOW!!! Mightily impressed... That is amazing, well done :-)

That's brilliant T! :-) I only lost 1/2 lb but at least it's a loss and I know this last half stone is going to take a while to shift!! :-)

I've never been able to get my head round how it works, just that it does. Did it yrs ago when my kids were small and got down to 8st 4lb, remember trying dresses on in Monsoon and a 10 was too big! I'm a size 16 now so that feels like light yrs away, lol. I keep picking stuff up to eat and my partner keeps saying "are you SURE you can eat that? This is a very weird diet!" . In fact i wish i had a quid for every time he's said it! Lol

You will get back there ha my boyfriend has just said to me 'is that all free?' I had SW chips, 2 quorn sausages(2) loads of mushy peas. I explained the sun thing to him. He can't believe how much I can eat ha. Then he said 'if you keep eating and eating free foods will you put weight on?' I was like not if you are hungry lol. And he said he could tell I've lost weight, not sure if that's to gain bf points though lol xxx

Haha that made me smile :-) My bf is hopeless - in that, he says I always look lovely no matter what size I am. Aww v sweet but not helpful when I need motivation to lose weight haha!

Quick question - although we can technically eat as much free food as we need, if you were having pasta how much would you cook?

Depends on the dish really. I'd usually use about half a pack per meal for 2 people, but I love a lot of pasta. Just until you're full is generally it, no set amount.

I don't measure it out. Just bung it in the pan and if there's any left the dog gets it or it's saved till the next day.

My partner is a scorpio ( and a Welshman) and scorpios speak their mind, no holes barred so he does say that i'm overweight. It used to really hurt at first but he'd say " yes you are a little overweight love, but you know you are" so he was only telling me what i already knew, lol. The upside is when he tells me he's proud of me or he can tell that i've lost weight i know he's not talking bull.

I haven't told my OH I'm doing SW, and have lost nearly 20lbs and he ain't noticed yet :/ wonder how long it will take him to notice anything...mind you he's not that way inclined to notice that sort of thing!

Little bit nervous about my weigh-in tonight. Ended up with a couple of EE days this week, and went to Harvester on Monday night. And haven't been keeping a food diary, which I know I really should do. As long as I get some kind of loss, even if it's half a pound, I'll be ok.

Panic over, had 3lbs off this week, so feeling a bit more confident now. My consultant 'cancelled' Image Therapy tonight, just did it as a weigh and go due to the weather, didn't want people getting trapped in the hall, I stayed though for a chat as I wasn't feeling that positive, but relaxed a bit now.

Oh that's a brilliant loss, well done love :-)
