Had a good day today, got weighed this morning and was 14" 12.8, so not too bad as not been trying really the last fortnight. Already been for a jog and managed my best time so far, round my new 2.8km route. Still on zero success though for trying to exercise three times a week. Getting good at...

Day 111 Thanks JMA, I need to get started again. Weighed myself this morning and was 14" 12.4, although have just been ill for the last five days so more by accident than design..... I can see you are doing amazing!! H

Day 54 Diary Weigh in - 14"13.8 So, I did not succeed at either of my plans yesterday. Not too annoyed about the jogging because it was like a monsoon here last night. Fingers crossed for a better day today x

Day 53 Diary No weigh-in today Today, is the day I get back into the weight loss zone, after a couple of weeks going nowhere. I will go jogging tonight and that is a fact, LOL. Please feel free to tell me off if I don't go, but I will! I am working from home for the rest of this week so there...

Day 47 Diary Weigh-in - 14" 13.8 Had a steak barm and home made chips followed by an ice cream sundae yesterday lunch time :eek:. I had a sensible light tea and no wine. It was amazing and for once I don't feel guilty or regret it. We went out to a lovely pub to celebrate my daughter's first...

Day 46 Diary Weigh-in - 14"12.2 No idea why my weight is fluctuating, although was on plan yesterday (had wine for syns eek). Really do need to avoid drinking as the result was another night of reflux problems. Didn't make it to class last night but there is another one run by the same lady...

Food choice looks great :) x

How are you going? Did you make it to the gym? Hope, you have been doing better than me I have had a rubbish couple of days ....

Are you feeling better? Doesn't sound like the best start to a week x

Day 45 Diary Weigh-in 15"0.0 So, I have officially gone AWOL and in the process ate far too many carbs and enjoyed two meals out. Things have felt busy here as am due to move house in two weeks, my daughter is off with me (so trying to do things with her) had work I hadn't finished before my...

What a shame for you Emmaline. Does your back trouble you a lot day to day? x

What did you study? I am nearing the end of a degree in Health and Social Care, just one more module to go after this one. My daughter just wanted to make jam tarts because they are in her Usborne book of things to make and do. So jam tarts made and she has scoffed two, week! However, I...

Day 40 Diary Weigh in 14"13.0 Feel yucky today. Last night I stayed up late finishing my last uni assignment for my current module. I also drank two thirds of a bottle of white zinfandel (ironically I didn't even enjoy it that much as it tasted far too sweet. I think maybe I have cut down on...

Wowsers, you have lost so much weight off your face. Well done :)

Day 39 Diary Weigh in - 14"12.4 Fortunately after spending all week out and about, I have a day working at home planned. It is the last day before my week off and I have loads to do but it is nice that I can hopefully just focus on getting thing done :) x

I just can't believe she is that age already, it has just flow by. In fact it is a bit scary. BTW w/ jogging I was the same when I started but then went and got fitted with proper running shoes. Don't know if you have tried that? It made a huge different to my shins and knees. Strictly speaking...

Not far to go Lanarkwitch, good luck! I am 14"12.6 today, yay. Finally feel like I am def in the 14s properly now x

Enjoy your trip x

I love reading your diary and seeing the great progress. I have finally gone back to group and it was so nice to have the support of other people :)

That is so good to know (that you do start to see that you can indeed get slimmer). I think I have been upwards of the 14s for so long now I find it had to imagine myself ever being 13 something on the scales. I am finding it so hard to break out of the mindset that I never ever succeed long...

Day 38 Diary Weigh in - 14"12.6 Woo hoo seen 14"12 on the scales, how very exciting! Managed to eat plenty too including my home made cottage pie so am very pleased with myself. All these little changes seem to be adding up, one by one. Never managed to get out for any exercise though with...

Sharkbait, hope you are doing ok. x

That is so brilliant! I see your goal weight in 12"7 is that the final goal or an interim one? Either way you are nearly at that one x

Hi there :) I think most of the time I do eat enough but have always been prone to skipping meals especially breakfast. Yesterday was a particularly bad day as really only ended up having tea, which is not a good approach! Prob best to ignore some of my food logs because a couple of them ended...

Never managed to get chance to post yesterday so will be writing about two day straight! Autumnbabe thanks for dropping by! I don't live too close to the beach unfortunately but it was only an hour's drive (well two hours back because of problems on the motorway). I am going to be weighing in...

Hi :) I have added it to my sig x

Day 35 Diary Weigh in - 14"13.8 Well I think my muscles are holding water today as they feel like lead. Lol can certainly tell I haven't got up off my rear end enough over the last couple of weeks. I am very pleased with how I did on the healthy eating and exercise front yesterday. I did have...

Yay, just been and walked / jogged 5.36km in 54 min 1 sec and burned 418 kcal (you have got to love the stats on run keeper and it works the kcals off your height and weight!). Not particularly speedy but took a rather hilly route. Feels great to have got out. Just had a minute and am now going...

Please can I join? I started my diet 21st July and so just over one month in and have lost 10lbs so far. Could you please put me down as a target of 18lbs with 10 lost to date :) Will now go and see how everybody is doing! x

Day 21 and 22 Diary No food log kept as put on a party / BBQ at my house over the weekend and had people staying over so slipped at keeping track. I did successfully make a lot of cake and not eat any of it though (well I might have had a bit of cheesecake with lots of fresh fruit). x

Day 20 Diary Weigh in - 15"3.0 Plus 1.6lbs Yesterday, I got carried away with portion sizes, not on anything unhealthy though and then had a couple of glasses of wine. Not too worried as I think I needed it. This has to be sustainable in the longer term. :) Breakfast Low fat raspberry yoghurt...

Hi guys, I'd like to join you here. I am 15"2 as of today so only 2 pounds to get back into the 14 stone bracket. That will mean a great deal to me as it has been a couple of years now since I was under 15 stone. I have only lost half a stone so far but feel much better for it. I am only aiming...

Day 17 Diary Weigh in - 15"2.2 Loss 2.2lbs Yay, some of the alcohol bloat from Sat night is starting to subside. Hopefully if I manage to have three proper meals today and start getting back to normal I might be able to achieve a small loss this week. I think I must really want to tackle...

Very well done for resisting temptation and having a healthier (and prob nicer!) alternative.

I think you looked lovely on your before shots too and very super on the recent one. Good luck x

Day 16 Diary Weigh in - 15"4.4 Plus 2.4lbs Wow look at the effect a weekend of excess can have! Umm, not the healthiest of days but still not 100% from the weekend. Also haven't been shopping yet so low on the good stuff. OMG, now I have written that down, it sounds appalling! Breakfast...

So I am back and ready to get on with it after my weekend off plan :) It will be interesting to see what the scales think of me tomorrow! Day 14 Diary Breakfast - Small bowl rice krispies and milk, actimel, bacon, mushroom, tomato, scrambled egg, orange juice, cup of tea Lunch - none Tea -...

Day 12 Diary I feel rubbish this morning. I decided to work last night to catch up on some stuff and got in one of those can't stop modes so only logged off at 11pm. During this time I drunk another cup of tea and another glass of diet coke. So of course when I went to bed I was pumped full of...

That is great, well done. I am a new starter too. x

Well done!

That is amazing :)

Just had a scan through your diary. You are doing brilliantly :) Very inspirational for people starting out like me! Def, good idea to ditch the fags though.... x

Thanks for telling me about how you have approached exercise. I have only just started (on day 10 today) so have a long way to go. I did day 1 of couch to 5km today, which was hard work but proud I managed it. You are doing amazingly well getting to the gym so often, that is dedication :) x

Get well soon :)

How often have you been exercising while you have been with slimming world? I have started at a similar weight to your start weight and am trying to work out how much of a difference exercise will make. Try not to get too disheartened though, maybe you could work at maintaining for a few weeks...

I think I have made a breakthrough today. Have had one of those afternoons at work were despite all your best efforts you feel that you have achieved absolutely zilch. Usually I would be reaching for the wine now and have so far resisted! Just have to get through the rest of the evening lol.

You have lost so much, that is such a huge achievement. I am just starting out and it seems like such a big thing, will just have to take one day at a time I guess :)

That is brilliant, well done you :)

I last posted on these forums regularly in 2009 and am now back older and *hopefully* a little wiser. In February 2009, I had dropped to 14 stone 2 lbs and felt considerably better. Over the last few years I have intermittently exercised and made better food choices, so have some better habits...

Good luck :)

Hi, you are doing so well. It is such an inspiration to see you have made such progress. I have started at a similar weight to your start weight so it really helps to know you have made it so far on your journey :)

OK, so working off a BMR of 2039kcal since starting the 1200kcal diet I have saved 2807kcal, so considering 1lb of fat = 3500kcal I am not far off 1lb worth of savings :D. Keeping a daily food diary is great as it shows me where my weaknesses are. If I can just stay under the 2039kcal on a 'I...

Thanks for the advice, I will bear that in mind :). I have actually been to the gym today!!!! I just used the treadmill and burned 130 calories (30 mins, 1.5miles, 2% incline for most). Taking it easy at the moment as had a c-section in October last year and am very unfit. It feels good to have...

Go Glen :D! You are looking great, I can't get over how you have managed to make such a transformation in just a few weeks! H x

Thanks both of you :) I actually had a bit of a glitch last night, my gammon had finished cooking and I nicked a piece, not completely awful I know but I hoped I would have more will power this early on. :cry: So guess I'll add 200kcal (guess) to yesterdays total. Just wish I wouldn't sabotage...

Just worked out my BMR is 2039, this will increase if I can strt getting to the gym! :p

Well done :D. Personally I think exercise is a big key as it ups your BMR (ie increases the calorie gap) which has to be a good thing! Hmmmm... I so need to try and drag myself *kicking and screaming* to the gym this week! x

I have always found it very difficult when studying too :) Just think how good you will feel if you keep it up. Are you planning on doing CD for your whole weight loss journey? xxx
