Hello peeps, monthly weigh in, gained 7.8lbs. Not surprised. March had my birthday, a weeks holiday away and Easter. Seems more deserved than the Feb gain but I guess some of that was water and this is pure fat. I'm not down about it as I have continued exercising and facing my weigh ins. I am...

Oh dear GSP, just read this. Hope you recover quickly and it doesn't put you off your new house.

Hi Claire , Great to hear you are doing so well.Are you still doing the yoga?

Hi Kirsty, I am a fellow faller off of the wagon. Put on 1st 5lb. Like you I have continued to weigh. I am hoping it will help me to get over the fall quicker. I am not yet in recovery mode. We wemitts are long term cases. We all know what it's like. The other forum worked better for me as this...

Hi Shelley, great to hear from you. I've been awol. Diet still rubbish. I will be weighing in on Mon so wi commitment good thing. Had birthday and a holiday this month so expect another gain. Still exercise is ok. Got to a pilates class at a better time, still miles away. Gave up zumba, knee not...

Hope your Dad is ok.

Well done Claire. Great loss.

Well it's the last Mon in Feb so weigh in time and I've gained 8.4lbs. I've fallen off the diet wagon but still shocking how quickly it goes back on. I mean I have knowingly eaten too much but not that much too much! Exercise is fine. Have got an appointment with a trainer on Friday to get a...

Congrats on the loss.

Well done Pratainua. I could be here for years:confused: I averaged 1lb a week loss last year and it will probably be slower this year .

Only 7lbs. That's great GSP. You've lost that more than 16x over already:worthy::worthy::worthy:

I make my porridge with water and have it with cold soya milk. It's even nicer if you throw in some sunflower or mixed seeds along with the pb2 while it's cooking. I'm calorie counting. Though I still try to stick to slimming world principles as I loved slimming world. I just found it...

I like porridge with pb2 and soya milk. Usually have a banana with it as well.

Popped in to sub. Hope things are going well.

:thankyouthankyou:Well done Claire. Made up for you.

Hello I'm now 203.8lbs which is just under 14st 8lb.

Down 6.6lb this month so now in the 14's. See you all there. Good luck.

Weigh in So, January down 6.6lb ,very happy with that. I'm now just o.4lb over 14.5st. Should, fingers crossed, see the back of the rest of my xmas weight soon. Still looking fatter than I did. I got my bead back on my bracelet which is a relief, and while I'm not 100% on plan I'm on it...

It's 18 feet long so almost 2 rooms worth. Another day and another supper. 4 meals does seem to be working for me. I have to be careful with portions and can only have 1 small snack but I haven't felt the urge to binge since I started:eek:. Went to Tescos after the gym and bought some of the...

Failed at forcing myself to go to zumba. I've spent most of the day having coughing fits so managed to persuade myself that it wasn't a good idea. Instead I rediscovered my rebounder and my wii, Both great fun. I haven't used the wii for years and had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. The spare...

So sorry Tessa. I hope things start getting better for you soon.

I saw that. I tend to think that the diet/way of eating that you'll lose most weight on is the one you can stick to and make a habit. I also saw the one about eating before exercise. Women should eat before and men should eat after. It's good to know these things. My diet/way of eating will...

Well so far so good on the supper front. Fingers crossed that it's the solution and I'm back on track foodwise. Went to the gym yesterday. Enjoyed it again. I don't knock myself out but I am getting to muscles I don't usually work. Aquacise today. Must force myself to go to zumba on Thursday...

Just the thought of that class is enough to get my heart rate going!

Well done Chezz. I did the LS 1 mile express this afternoon because while I do like zumba, I don't like it enough to drive miles through snow and ice for it. Plus the hall is always freezing:gen125:.

Ate supper last night and didn't binge.

I can hear 'The Final Countdown' playing in the background:whistle:.

Generally I can easily stay on plan during the day without really thinking about it. If offered a treat I can turn it down or if I choose to, just have a little bit. In the evening it's a case of 'once I pop I just can't stop'. Generally it is high calorie, low density food like crisps or...

Yeah, Lottie :). I love snow when I don't have to drive anywhere and can just stay home watching films and drinking hot chocolate with Baileys. When you've got to get to work etc it's a pain in the gluteus maximus. Gym is within walking distance so no excuse but zumba involves driving so I'll...

Well done Chezz. I lost my first chunk of weight with slimming world and still include things I learned on it in my ccing, Walking IS exercise so you have already started. Have you got a pedometer or fitbit to count your steps?

Well done Claire:winner: That soup does sound nice.

Well that's one roof fixed. Fingers crossed that the other one is sorted soon. I have been struggling with evening binges. This has always been a problem so I need to work on finding a better strategy. I have decided to try 4 meals a day. Same calories just slightly smaller portions. I really...

Hi TT, just found your diary. Sounds awful and a bit dangerous. I though the idea behind tabata was that it was short and sweet to boost the metabolism. Think I'll stick to my 4 mins:character00116:in the morning.

Did not in the end go with either A or B. Instead I did some non essentials so I might achieve something, plan C. Luck continued to be s**t quite literally as mum came back and must have stood in a rather large and sticky dog turd which she managed to spread through 2 rooms before I noticed...

I do the same as Crafty girl.

Well so far my day has been s**t. Started with my alarm not going off. .Phone call from mums roofers, all neg except they have made an appointment to come back tomorrow so gym is off. Lost car keys, had them a minute ago, found car keys. Car like a brick of ice, anti freeze in car. Locks...

Have fun Claire x

I am also not 'feeling' it at the moment. Got to agree with TT. The exercise makes me feel better even if the diet is going astray.

Well done CatA and Crafty Girl.

6lb is great Chezz. Have you done slimming world before?

Congratulations on the house and the maintain. Both awesome. 9lbs eh, I think you'll smash it!!!!!!!

Bowie was one of my first crushes.

11lbs! 11lbs! 11lbs! Essie you are a weight loss machine!

Christmas gain be gone. Whilst I'm not so disciplined myself, and I usually espouse the theory that holiday calories don't count, on this occasion, I think it would be wise to try to follow GSP's good example.

You really could surprise yourself. Hope you give it a go. and to you Chezz. Hope slimming world is suiting you. Welcome Crafty Girl. My stamina is shocking considering all the aquacise and zumba I do. I'm going to the gym on my own on Friday so I'll be able to see how long I last when left...

It seems like a good goal to me. Though I've been over the past two days and I really do need to stop evening snacking.

I spend a lot of time around older people and activity seems to be the key. Even more than weight, though they do tend to go together. You can also tell who are the smokers. If we want a healthy old age, we really do need to work towards it now. I've just started doing tabata on my exercise...

Not sure I'm really a gym girl either but apparently I now have nearly 13% less muscle mass than a 40 year old as you lose 1% a year from 40 onwards. So I need to do some weight/resistance training to counter act the effects of 'old' age. I think the Lesley vids are really helpful and aquacise...

Sounds to me like the career change has potential. I definitely think you should take the exam. Could you get or make some recordings of the things you need to memorize and play them in your cab at work?

A good group is just what you need and slimming world is a great diet. I really hope 2016 is a good year for you Chezz, your such a great girl, you deserve one.

Afternoon Chezz.

I really did Chez. I don't know if you remember me mentioning that a woman at aquacise had lost quite a lot of weight but she was there. Very encouraging to see as she must have been around 30 st. Hi Elanor, I do think gyms differ but I'd love to know how many of the people who go, started...

For canned soup I go for the Tesco healthy living. I live rurally so don't have easy access to other supermarkets so there might be better choices out there. Mostly I just make my own. yesterdays was celery and orzo, (small pasta). recipe serves 6 , 96 cals per serving 500g celery 3 chicken...

Well done

Aquacise time has changed so I can't get back until next week now. *joanne* 13 runs, 28 vibro plate, 28 kettlebells = ( 1 run/ 0 vp/ 0 kb) susu xxx 3 zumba, 3 aquacise, 9 bike = ( 0 z/0 a/3b)

So, I have been to the gym. Haven't really got a clue what I'm doing, the room isn't much bigger than my living room, and the machines are limited, but I enjoyed it.

I'm also a big fan of low cal homemade soups, or failing that tesco healthy options canned soup. As they fill you up for under 150 cals and increase the veg content of my diet.

It sounds like you are doing well. If you've got that getting too hungry feeling then eat some extra protein, like cold roast chicken, as a snack. That will take it away for longer. When is the wedding ? Do you have a mini goal ?

Lol, it would be wonderful. Discovered why I've been out of sorts. This morning..*star* made an unexpected visit. Hasn't been around since September so I'd gotten complacent. Today has the potential to be stress free. Jinxed it!!!

YOU BET:rainbow:

I use half a pack of love hearts .followed by either an oatcake or an alpen light. You can keep it to 3 syns if you can still use the alpen light as a hexb. You are just getting back into the swing of slimming world so don't be too hard on yourself about a small gain over new year. You'll get...

Thanks hun, unfortunately it's both my roof and my mothers roof that are leaking. Eventually got electrics sorted this morning but don't get me started as it's been a funny old day all round. I have managed to achieve quite a lot but none of the things I actually set out to achieve. I'm really...

I am also diabetic. I log in mfp which has improved my glucose control because I match my injections to carbs more accurately. I constantly have to adjust my ratio because losing weight and exercise affects insulin resistance, more if type 2 but type 1's too if overweight. It's so easy to hypo...

Well that was poop. Went to aquacise and the time has changed, girl that takes it didn't even know! At least 4 of us turned up at the wrong time and unfortunately I can't make the new time today. However I did do something radical and unplanned while I was there. I have joined the gym!!!!!! It's...

Well I'm about 5st overweight. I don't know what my ultimate goal is as I will take it stage by stage. Looking for a 3st loss this year.

Good morning. Still having a bit of a crisis due to leaking roofs. We are a lot better off than some other people after the storms, but it's still stressful, and the chances of getting a permanent fix is weeks away. However, son is still on holiday, so I am leaving him my mobile to deal with the...

Yep, it does feel good to be back on plan.

Yes. I thought that was a good goal to aim for this year. It's only a label but it's one I'll be glad to see the back of. It will be slow going after that (2017/2018) as my bmr gets lower, but for now, I'm carrying on much the same as last year.

I used to par boil but forgot once and they turned out just as good. I line a tray with foil then spraylight it, add chips, season and cook. It's worth experimenting though to get them just how you like them.

Hi Twinny

Hi folks. New diary , old plan. Aim for 2016 is to get out of the obese category, which for me means getting under 170lb. So plan is * Weigh in last Monday of EVERY month no matter how my eating is going. * Aim to eat under 1750 calories a day. * Aim to burn over 2100 calories a day. * Aim...

Hi Essie, 8.8lb for me. I'm strangely pleased. I know what you say about not being cured is true. I have lost weight so many times then just put it all back on again that I came to the conclusion that I needed a sustainable plan for life that will deal with times when I overeat without allowing...

Well my eating has been fine 1315 yesterday but I only burned 2003. Tempted to wiggle my arm up and down to fool my fitbit but that would be naughty wouldn't it:rolleyes:

Here's hoping you come back soon.

Yeah, I now have a face:angel:

Hi Jo, you've found the right place. There are a lot of people on here that have dealt with serious weight issues so there is a lot of useful advice and support around. I can't listen to my body so I have to make decisions consciously. I have to accept that this is how I am and if that means I...

Hi Tessa, Good to see you on here. x

My mini target for this week is to get back on my basic plan ie eat under 1750 cals and burn over 2100 cals a day. :greenapple:

Zumba doesn't start back until 18th so I'll just ease myself in. *joanne* 13 runs, 28 vibro plate, 28 kettlebells = ( 1 run/ 0 vp/ 0 kb) susu xxx 3 zumba, 3 aquacise, 9 bike = ( 0 z/0 a/0b)

I'm a monthly weigher but I think how often is best for you depends on your personality.

Well by the end of Nov 2015 I had lost 44lb But have managed to regain 8.8lb over December. So loss for 2015 was 35.2lb. My aim for 2016 is 40.5lb. Autumn500 - 42.5lbs (0lbs lost, 42.5lbs to go) Cat - 40lbs (0lbs lost, 40lbs to go) Hoz - 23lbs (0lbs lost, 23lbs to go) rushhooked - 90lbs (0lbs...

Hi Susie, I have a new account on here but keep getting lost! Guess I'll feel more at home once I'm allowed an avatar. I hope 2016 is a really great year and that everything goes smoothly with the move. x

Hi Denn, It's Susu from the other wemitts forum. Good to speak to you again. It seems strange to be back on minimins! sure I will get the hang of it eventually. I've been off plan since about 10th Dec, gained 8.8lb, but started back on the wagon and the fitbit yesterday. I'm still about 2 1/2...

Hi, I'm Susu and I weigh Monthly. Dec 2015 , 210.4lb, +8.8lb

Hello I'm Susu and have slipped back into the 15s over xmas. I weigh monthly and in Dec I gained 8.8lbs which makes me 210.4lb.

Hi Claire, I couldn't get onto my old account so I've started this new one. Nice to see some familiar faces. I'm up 8.8lb but it's ok as every ounce is well deserved and I'm looking forward to a chicken salad and sesh on the exercise bike tomorrow. susu xxx

Well done. I have lost a bead off my bracelet over the holidays but it's ok I'm relaunching my plan tomorrow.
