Thread: Sarah's on yet another road - still same destination - 53lb lost - 57 lb to go...

Hi,

Having been browsing this forum for a while I thought Id come join you all as I v seen some great success with you all, Im envious

Just a little intro about me. Im Sarah, Im 33 years old, almost 34!! Iv been on more diets than I can even mention, Iv tried them all at some point!! The most successful was WW old points system a few years back and then calorie counting with exercise more recent and how Iv lost my 49.5lb to date. Its taken me a long time to get that off but Im hopeful that with some dedication I can get the rest off in a more reasonable time. I dont have time to count points or calories so much now so im going to do the simply filling plan Im sure I can make this work for me around my 2 children and work. I work mainly evenings and weekends so it can be difficult planning round this, as I tend to start at 430pm so it is an awkward time :/ I want to be more active too so now the weather is nice I want to go out for alot more walks, regular swimming and try a few new things Excited to try out my new WW pedometer, being a new start I bought the Deluxe starter kit so Iv got everything I need to make this a success

I went to a brand new meeting this morning and had my starting weigh in . . . . Im currently 14st 11.5lb or 207.5lb. This means I have 60.5lb to lose to reach my goal of 10st 7lb or 147lb

So here goes......wish me luck

I did intend making my own savoury rice with brown rice and vegetables but I didnt realise I had ran out But I shall get some, make my own and freeze it in ready to use portions

Iv been using my new weightwatchers pedometer today, so far iv only done 3838 steps but as I spent most of the day waiting for a repair man to come, thats not too bad, and the day is not yet over

So far, day one has gone well xx

hi sarah, welcome & good luck on the simply filling plan x

So over the last few days here is my menu...

Tuesday -

B- shredded wheat with skimmed milk
L - Ham salad and pickle sandwich
D- Home made chilli con carne on jacket potato with a side salad

L - ham salad and pikcle sandwich with a low fat yogurt
D - Home made chicken tikka with baby new potatoes and a side salad with 1 spoon of garlic and herb dip
Snacks - sugar free jelly with peaches, apple, 3 plums

So that brings me to today.....

I am indeed pointing them, they are 1 point each as they are weight watchers yogurts so its all good I did however decide to have ham and not cheese so will edit that lol x

First weigh in....and iv lost 3.5lb So pleased!! And I changed to an evening weigh in so I didnt expect to have such loss as I started with morning meeting on first week!! x

Hiya,

Aw thank you! Yeah id love to buddy up Have you lost your 62lb with WW? I lost my 53lb with calorie counting but its taken a long time!! So I thought WW would give me better structure and discipline, and i must say, Ilove it! I dont feel like im missing out on anything at all on this When is your weigh day? Im Mondays but next week is bank holiday so Il go on Tuesday x

Yeah all on ww , my weigh in day is a Friday I don't stay for the meetings all the time as I have my 2 yr old with me see o this is a great place for motivation and encouragement!! uve done amazing to lose all that on your own I cheat to much knowing that I don't have to be weighed by someone haha xx

Yeah i have a 4 year old so it can be hard to stay for meeting if my eldest cant babysit, but i do enjoy the meetings I think doing it alone is why i have taken so long losing what i have. Im definately more focussed attending meetings. Do you have agoal time frame? For me, id love to reach goal for christmas, its certainly do-able x

Mine is also December ready for the party season and new dresses defiantly doable , I'm 31 in 7wks so I'm aiming to try and lose 10-14lb prolly a bit of a unrealistic challenge but I've just started circuit training twice week would never had gone to a class at my heaviest! even if it you feel like it has taken u ages it's still a massive achievement u should b so proud of yourself ! Onwards and upwards and slow an steady are my sayings haha xx
