I lost a pound! Yay! Four to go!!!

Stayed the same this week but not too fussed, at least I didn't put on! I'll keep posting about it though until I reach my goal! Stay tuned (I know it's boring!) ;)

Damn I put on 2lb not sure what to put it down to but here's to trying again! Now 5lbs off goal!!

I lost one pound of the two I put on last week so on track again!!!

Ooopsie I put on 2lbs! Done that before though so not too worried.

Thanku! :)

Lost 2lbs!!! 2 more to go!!! Then maintaining!!!!!!

Stayed the same this week but I'm not too worried as I lost 2lb last week.....just keep going!!

I've lost two pounds! Well pleased...four to go!!!

I stayed the same this week but I'm not surprised as I've had 6 days off work so no cycling to and from. Hopefully will do better this week! How are you doing? xx

That's a good loss, so there's your motivation!! I had two teeth taken out yesterday as part of my treatment with my braces and everything so I've got to be careful with eating anyway at the moment. I can't help but think once all the stuff with my teeth is finished i'm going to put on a...

Wedding was great!! Hope you're feeling better, I know what a hangover's like!! I feel like I've gained since the wedding and I have't done a workout since las Fri so that won't help - got to get back into it!!! Good luck for WI!! xx

I lost a pound, not bad....I was six pounds off my goal for my bruv's wedding tomorrow but I don't mind...I'll kepp going and see what happens! Good luck for you this comin week! xx

You can lose 3lbs in a week! My thing also is that I never get to 11st again, nearer 10st would be much better!! Good luck for this week, keep going you know what you have to do!! xx

Yep braces definately good to lose the weight (sore mouth sometimes too!) Well I lost a pound so that's not too bad, I've definately excepted the fact I'm not going to reach my goal in a week, there's no way I can lose 7lbs!! I'm going to just go for losing as much as I can, would be happy with...

Your damage may not be as bad as you think...stress burns calories, that's my theory anyway! I think the fixed braces on my teeth have helped me as it can be quite painful to eat sometimes and I'm not supposed to eat sugary foods. I think my weight will creep back up after my treatment although...

I managed to lose a pound this week so not too pleased with myself!! That means I've only got 2 weeks to lose 8lbs for my brother's wedding and to reach goal, not happening!!! Hope you get on ok. xx

Brilliant well done you!! Keep it up, we'll see how I get on this Fri. I only have 2 weeks til I'm suppose to be at target...NOT!!! xx

Yeah I suppose its better to have more realistic goals. I'm hoping the hangover I'm nursing today will perhaps help my loss this week down to my head being in the loo last night and this morning! Not the best way to lose weight...I've probably lost that 2lbs I'd put on!! xx

well done!! I've gained 2lbs but that's in two weeks cos I couldn't weigh with no scales! The new ones are cool but I have gained! I've got 3 weeks to lose 9lbs so I don't hold out much hope, we'll see! xx

Well done on the 1.5 loss!! Haven't really had a good week to be honest, daughter's 16th Tue, out for lunch yesterday, wine last night!! Getting new scales today though so need to be good up to Fri for WI. Good luck for tomorrow's WI!! xx

I couldn't weigh yesterday cos my scales broke so have to wait til I get new ones! how u getting on? x

You will, have faith! I'm 10st 7lb now, the lightest I've been in 6 years! Was naughty though yesterday so.... :-/ We've just got to keep going!!! xx

WI today and I lost 2lb, I think it must be the fact that I ate all the bad stuff at the weekend and have been strict with the points and exercise since Monday. Don't know how long I'll get away with it! It'll be a bad day Tues cos it's my daughter's 16th and we're at Prezzo's for tea :-/ oh...

Beck, you can lose that 3lb in a week. As soon as you get back on track. I'll be the same, I finished all my choc last night and started again today so we'll see what Fri's WI brings!! Come on we can do it!! xx

I'm determined to finish my Easter choc today, I've got a whole chocolate bunny to eat, and he's big! x

I think I'd easily put a stone on in a month! So much for the willpower, I ended up eating cake!!! Been deprived from alcohol and sweet fatty stuff so long! couldn't help it! x

Good luck for Monday. It was so close but I managed to make a tuna salad instead of cheese on toast and I'm now having a cuppa. I think I'm dreading reaching my goal, how on earth do u maintain? x

I ate lot's Sunday and Monday and got back on track Tue with counting my easter choc in (4 chocs = 8 pts)!!!! I lost a pound this week which I'm pleased with as I lost a lot last week. I'm really battling today with my food cravings for some reason. I'm really craving cheese on toast with...

Thanks, you too! I ate and drank too much yesterday and it will be more of the same again today cos we're out for tea again. I will be laying off the alcohol today though, nursing a hangover! Prob cos I hadn't had any for a fortnight!! Have you got much easter chocolate? I'm going to have to...

Don't worry, that's what you have to do just write it off. I know I've got a bad couple of days coming up. We're round friends this Sunday and round my mum's on Monday so thatt will definately mean lot's of food and drink! I did WI this morning and lost 4 lbs which is my biggest loss! Have been...

Don't worry too much, same as me a measley pound woo hoo! We'll do better next time, have faith! xx

Sometimes I think you just have to let it go, as long as you pick it up again straight away afterwards!

I've put on a pound, not bad considering my weekend away. Just got to get back on track and hopefully be less that 10st 13lb for next Friday! My goal will be 10st 12lb!

Best of luck!

WI and I lost 3lbs!! Back to 10st 13lb! Bit worried how it's going to go next time though as we're away this weekend and it's going to be meals out, ho hum. Will try to make the healthy choices as much as I can!

Well done you, such a buzz!!!! Just a matter of a few pounds now, that's what I keep telling myself! Let's keep going! xx

Think I've done ok. This week will be the test really as I need to lose on Friday. Let's all lose this week!!!

Come on girls!! Let's do it! Here'a link for a chart I use, Weight Loss Chart - Free Printable Weight Loss Charts and Weight Log

So, I've put on 3lb.....knew that was coming. I've now got 10 weeks to lose 16lb, can it be done??

It is so hard! I don't want to waste my life worrying about my weight though, hopefully I will find the oomph to have another go soon. I always weigh myself on a Friday morning so I expect to be back in the 11st something bracket again!!

Yep, it's weird, cos when I'm on a roll and doing well I forget to come on here but the minute I feel down about myself I'm here!!

U go girl!! Best of luck!! x

I hope it does for you too. Can you send some of your positive vibes to me please!? Have you ever been 10st before? Back in 2001 I decided to lose weight ready for my 30th birthday in 2002. I went from 13st (my heaviest) to 10st by Dec 2002 and was a size 10 for my birthday, so pleased and...

Wow, you're really positive! Hope I get my mojo back real soon!!!

Hey, yep you sound like me! I think sometimes, yes ok I'll get to my goal of 10 st but then what? Watching what I eat for the rest of my life? Sometimes I think, look, I'm a size 12 so that should be good enough. But then I think ok if I stopped worrying about what I put in my mouth my weight...

Help me out.....feeling so low at the mo, no motivation and I must stop checking the scales mid week, it makes me feel worse! Need some positive vibes! How do I keep going when I feel crap?! Then I go on the Supersize Vs Superskinny website and my BMI is 25 which is overweight, leading to all...

Yep, feeling good at the mo but still I manage to over indulge at the weekends!!!?

Ok, haven't been on in a while and just updated my crudentials! Can't believe I'm now in the 10 stone something bracket so now I'm no longer classed as overweight! I would now like to lose roughly a stone before my brother's wedding in may, then it will just be weight management for the rest of...

Total rubbish! I've really fallen off the wagon after spending a few days away and eating, drinking, eating, drinking! Haven't weighed cos I'm scared! I know I've gained cos my clothes are tight. Now it's just under 6 weeks to my holiday so I'm going to try the kelloggs diet as a desperate last...

I did WI and I'd gained 2lbs so not too bad I suppose. I've wiped the slate clean for the 100th time as I've got 9 weeks until my hols and I need to lose a steady 2lbs a week to get to my ultimate target of 140lbs! No room for blips this time though - I just keep thinking it's not long, you can...

Oooh I've been naughty! Off work with the kids this week so no routine as such. Still been doing my workouts but have eaten rubbish especially today and I usually WI on a Friday! Dunno if I should bother? Perhaps I should then I can see what I've done! Need to get back on track, I feel so rubbish!

Ok, so I haven't been on here in ages as my weight has been a bit up and down. I haven't given up though and I've lost the bits that went up and lost an extra pound this week! I'm now the lowest I've been in 3 years!! I can't believe that just over 2 years ago I weighed 12st 6lbs and now I'm...

Thank you!! Lost 3lbs!! Woopa!!

Ok so my weight loss progress has been a bit rubbish lately but hey ho, I'm not giving up and I'm still exercising so I think it would be even worse if I wasn't!!! I've got a personal incentive to lose my last stone so here goes again! I know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, the key is to never give up no matter what. As you can see I've had some gains but I just remember that around this time two years ago I was more than a stone heavier than what I am now! I'd love to lose another stone by the end of April, but realistically I don't think that will happen. I...

Another pound loss this week so really pleased!

Rubbish week! Been off work with the flu, so no exercise what so ever for a week, just lazing around feeling cr*p!! Still WI though and gained 3lbs! Just proves that I really do rely on exercise! Oh well, line drawn and back on the wagon for Monday!!

Woo Hoo! I lost 4lb this week! It must be the Sports Active 2 (PS3) I've been doing for the last 4 weeks! Just taken a while to kick in!!

Right, so I gained 2lbs this week! I honestly think it's the kick up the backside I needed to really pull my finger out now! I can remember being exactly the same last year and although I'm half a stone lighter now than I was this time last year I still haven't reached my goal! So...... I'll say...

Big celebration for me today - I lost a pound!! Woop! First loss since christmas! Off we go!!

It certainly does especially Baileys! Anyone know how many WW points a measure is???

Yep so true!! I'm just going to ration the rest of the one million chocs I've got left!!! I always follow the 80/20 rule too - be good 80% of the time and only bad 20%. I managed to get a loss even if I had an over indulgence at the weekend but was good the rest of the week!! I've just got rid...

Ok so I managed to lose 10 pounds before christmas and WI today and have gained 4lbs! I'm going to just draw a line and carry on!! :rolleyes:

Hey!! I've lost 2lbs this week so that's a total of 10lbs so far! I did want a stone for christmas but I'm happy with what I've achieved so I'm proving I can do it!! Will be back on track properly after the new year! I won't stop my weekly WI though! Merry Christmas!! xx

brilliant with the nails! Just keep doing what you're doing!!

Right, another WI and I've lost a pound! I know I'm off track for my stone before christmas but I'm still happy! Actually I weighed myself when I got home from work this afternoon and I'd lost another pound, but I won't count that!

I was used to the stuff you paint on but I put it on twice a day and got really sick of it so I didn't chew my nails anymore! Good luck, though you'll notice a difference in a week!

Thank you! I manged to grow my nails (although not that long) just through painting a very pail pink on everyday (not allowed coloured for work) and using the bitter tasting stuff. As they got longer and looked nice I didn't want to bite them! I do still have a nibble now and then tho and feel...

Uh oh! I've gained 3lbs this week, but I did expect it. It was my birthday Tuesday and I had lunch and dinner out and ordered what I wanted! It's ok though, I'm allowed a blip! Back on track now until christmas!!

Yes I am, but I do tend to go over now and again but I don't beat myself up over it, I just get back on track and be good for a few days.

Another WI another pound lost!! 4lbs to go for my stone goal!!

Thank you!! Another WI and another 3lbs lost!!! 9lbs in total so far now!! Only 5lbs to go for my stone before crimbo!!! Woop!! xxx

Woop woop!! Another WI and another 3lbs!! Well pleased!!

WI today and I lost 3lbs!!!! Woop woop! I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing!!

Ok so I've started today and it's eight weeks until christmas eve so when I weigh in that morning I want to see 10st 13lb on the scales!!!:scale: I have a couple of obsticles in the way - my birthday on the 7th Dec and my work's christmas meal on the 10th Dec but I'm going to try so flippin'...

Right, I'm being sensible now, I think!! I'm aiming for a stone by christmas eve and any more than that will be wicked!! I'm going to start my own thread to let you know how I'm getting on!! Thank you for all your advice! xx

Well I will let you know how I'm getting on!!

Oh well, I'll have a good go and see what happens. I've put a weight loss chart on the inside of my wardrobe so here goes!

Ok so it's roughly 8 weeks til christmas and I need to lose 26lbs to get to goal. What do you think? Any tips on what to do apart from the obvious of sticking religiously to points!!

Thanks everyone! Feel better already! xx

OH MY WORD!!!! LOL!!

I made this at the weekend and only had one piece anyone know how many WW points this is?

Thank you, I hope so!

So do you think I should carry on as normal or try to eat less points each day?

Ok so we had friends round yesterday with wine, crisps, spag bol and cheesecake. Very naughty as I'd been doing so well and lost 2lbs this week. I stepped on the scales this morning and have gained 3lbs since yesterday morning! I daren't eat anything today!

Hey, How`s everyone getting on? Haven`t heard anything in a while. I lost a pound this week so I`m really pleased!

Well.... I lost that pound I`d gained and I lost another pound so really pleased! Just going to keep going!

Vanda I do understand what youre saying, it makes sense to believe that you can have what you want. Cos to a certain extent you can! 7 years ago I managed to get from 11 and a half stone to 10st 3lbs. That was through WW but just doing it from home using the paper calculator and the points...

Ok, so I`ve joined yet again for the third time!! I would really appreciate some tips to stop me falling off the wagon!! I`m desperate now so I`m really wanting this to work!! xx

Ok so know everything`s gone a bit tits up at the moment. I stayed the same two weeks ago and gained a pound 1 week ago. It`s down to my weekends which over the last two have been full of birthdays and having friends round. This then involves food and drink of course!!! Oh well pick myself up...

Hey I stayed the same this week but it`s all good cos I still lost an inch off my waist!!

Oh I did lose an inch off my waist tho!!

Hey! Stayed the same this week but it`s all good as I lost so much last week!

Not always no, I didn`t last week I think that`s why I lost so much! I definately don`t expect to lose this week!

I`m not looking forward to my WI this week. Went to the pub on Sunday had a healthy main course followed by a chocolate honeycomb cheesecake! I pint of lager and 2 large glasses of wine! Oh and when I got home it was a fresh cream cake and a very large bar of cadburys wholenut!! However, I did...

Sorry about your job, that`s probably why you fell off the wagon! I eat when I`m fed up and when I`m happy so no hope! I`m not looking forward to my WI this week. Went to the pub on Sunday had a healthy main course followed by a chocolate honeycomb cheesecake! I pint of lager and 2 large...

yep all good here, now cooking tea! We`re having a 3 course one tonight tho cos my daughter has made it (with some help) so it`s not all completely healthy as such! 1st course - crab fritters with seafood sauce main - lasagne with salad Dessert - Tiramisu (thats the naughty one!!)

Not sure about the semolina either to be honest! I never use it, I do use cous cous quite a lot tho and add my own spices. Sounds like a good amount of food there shanny! Don`t worry about the gravy if you`re eating out. If i make my own gravy i use the water from the veggies and oxo cubes.

yep buddies we are! Breakfast - fruit n fibre with semi skimmed milk Lunch wholemeal roll with houmous, tomatoes, low fat yoghurt, banana and pear Dinner - home made spag bol or paella or lasagne or anything home cooked and healthy

To be honest i didn`t realisi I was following a particular plan until someone told me that what i was doing seemed similar to the old WW core plan! All I do is eat 3 healthy meals a day and made my portions slightly smaller.

I did only have 3 meals a day. I suppose I was lucky this week cos I didn`t have any special days out or any occasions and stuff. It`s my daughters birthday a week tomo tho so it`ll be birthday cake and a meal out so that week will be interesting!

Proper weigh in day today and I lost 5lbs!! Woo hoo!!

Wow well done to you! I lost 5lb this week and dropped an inch off my waist so really pleased!

Woo hoo!!! Lost 5lbs this week!! Got to keep going! Lost an inch on my waist too!!

Hey!!! Yep we can buddy up if you like! Guess what I lost 5lbs this week!! Woo hoo! I`m sticking to this!!

Nope I bottled it!! I`m scared of the result! I`ll wait.

Yeah what the hell!!!! LOL!!!

Yeah I get what you`re saying so I`ll leave it until weigh in day. Thanks. Tanya xx

I`ve been on a the WW core plan since Thu and my word do I feel like I`ve lost weight!! I know I shouldn`t weigh yet but I can`t wait!! Will it matter if I do it now just to see? I`ll still weigh on my proper day (Thu) and log it. Tanya xx

I started last Thu, and you know what did it? Seeing my mate who has lost a stone since new year! She hasn`t been on a diet, just stopped `eating crap` as she says and cut down on the alcohol. She looks so skinny as she wasn`t `big` to start with! I must admit I`m enjoying it and I`m not really...

To be honest I haven`t really done my homework properly cos I didn`t know anything about the extra points allowance for treats! It`s because I really got the idea for this food plan from the NHS website and they give you a list of foods to eat regularly, one to eat in moderation, and one to...

Thanks Shanny, I can`t wait to weigh myself on Fri! I also log my waist size but I don`t expect to have lost an inch in a week! I bet I`ll check though lol!! Tanya xx

Ok, so the counting points was definately not for me. I found it so hard to keep track constantly, so I`m trying the Simple Filling Technique which when I read up about it is basically choosing healthy low fat foods and eating 3 meals a day. Oh and stopping when you know you`re satisfied. Anyone...

Wow!! You`ve done really well!! I`ve just started my `healthy eating diet` and to be honest I`m quite enjoying it! I tried WW a couple of times but have never tried Slimming World. Are you allowing yourself alcohol? That`s my biggest downfall as I like a glass of wine with my evening meal and...

:sigh: Well I weighed this morning so here we go!! I must admit I couldn`t believe how big my waist was!! Not good!! Annoyingly I`m only going to get to the gym once this week cos the kids are on school hols but I suppose once is better than nothing! It looks nice outside today so I may do some...

Ok, so I`ve done rubbish on WW and decided it`s not for me. My new philosophy is that if I don`t eat fat I won`t be fat so here`s to healthy eating!!! I`ve started my weight loss again from scratch and got myself a new weight loss ticker! I assume my weight loss graph will show up when I put in...

Ok, I`ve tried WW and failed more times than I care to mention, so it`s obviously not for me. There must be someone out there who can suggest ways of losing weight without having to count stuff all the time or pay out to join a club of some sort? :mad: I have no problem with exercise as I go...

You`ve done really well! Can I follow Slimming World on line?

Hi!! I`ve been trying so hard to follow WW and I`m struggling big time! I`ve lost half a stone in 10 months!! I`m worrying about my weight. I did a bmi test on line and I`m classed as over weight as it came up as 26.6. :-( It`s suppose to be between 18-25 to be healthy. I can`t help it but I...

Hey, just wanted to share with you that I lost 3 lbs this week Yippee!!!

Does anyone know if there are any 0 point sweets out there? And can you still get Jacob`s Thai Bites? They were around 6 points for a whole big packet! Tanya xx

Yep, I am going to claw the points back by eating low point foods. Put it this way I`ve had a half a grapefruit this morning and a cup of tea! I`m going to lose what I gained this week and some!! There how positive is that?! Lol! Not sure whether to count the gym as activity points though, I...

Ok so I`m now 16.5 points over so far and it`s the first day of my week!! Shall I try and claw them back over the next 6 days??

ok will do thanks!

yeah i know. I have managed to lose weight on it before tho. Do u think I should track the 22 points that i`ve eaten today? I`m only allowed 20!! Lol!!

I don`t really get proper periods anymore cos I had a coil fitted. I would have thought what I`ve eaten this morning would be my allowance for the rest of the day! So nothing more for me until tomorrow lol!! Tanya xx :cry:

WI this morning and I gained a pound. I was so pi**ed off I bought 2x maple pecan danishes, 2x apricot danishes and a Kit Kat senses bar and scoffed the lot!! What a great start to the week ahead! I couldn`t even be bothered to go to the gym to work some of it off!! Shall I bother tracking...

Oh dear! I gained a pound this week and was so pi**ed off I bought some danishes and a kit kat and ate the lot!! That`s a good start for the week ahead hey!!?

Just an update - I stayed the same this week!

Hey, well I`ve lost a pound this week and I`m pleased with that. Only managed the gym twice this week as the kids have been off school and I haven`t done as much walking but with them going back this coming week I should be able to fit in more gym and walking time! I`m aiming for a 2lb loss next...

Right! I`m now on day 5 of WW and I`m still on track. Now about to sort out some photos on the computer to put in a folder where I look flippin` awful! Just to keep me motivated!!! Tanya xx

Right here we go! I`m going to try and update this as much as I can remember to lol! Joined WW (for the 2nd time) yesterday but have been healthy eating and going to the gym 5 times a week since after the new year! :character00116: Managed to go from 12st 4lbs to 11st 12lbs but have now come to...

Thanks for the replies, I know what you`re saying. It`s really difficult to not check! The scales aren`t even in the bathroom where I can see them! I have to get them out of a cupboard first! Tanya xx

I weigh myself as often as I can to keep a check on my weight loss. I`ve been losing a pound a week which I`m pleased with and when I last weighed myself on Saturday I was 11st 11lb. I weighed this morning and I`m 12st!!! I don`t get it, I haven`t done anything different. Now I`m trying to make...

Here`s my typical day - Breakfast - Porridge made with oats and skimmed milk with fruit, Lunch - wholemeal roll with tuna and tomatoes follwed by a low fat yoghurt and fruit, Dinner fish/chicken with wholegrain rice/pasta and vegetables. No snacking in between I roughly drink a litre of water...

I`m thinking if it would be a better idea to stop the gym for a while but continue with the walking? I seem to lose weight when I`m not going to the gym! Why is this?

Hey, I`ve piled on half a stone since new year and I`ve got 2 stone to lose so I can reach my ideal weight. I`m 5ft 6" and weigh 12 stone. Since last Fri I have been to the gym 4 times doing an hour of cardio, I`ve walked to work and back (4 miles) and to the gym and back (2 miles) every day...

Hey, I`m not going to use periods as an excuse for my weight anymore. I have just had a coil fitted so my periods should stop pretty soon! I gained half a stone over xmas/new year so I`ve really got to pull my finger out! Before xmas I managed to lose 5lbs in 2 weeks just by having 3 meals a day...

Hi, I`m now starting my second attempt at WW! I only lost half a stone last time and it`s all gone back on! I need to do this as I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and although my stomach is relatively flat it is starting to stick out just under my bust! I weigh a stone and a half heavier since...

Hi there, here`s my story.... I had an abdominoplasty in September 2006 and I`ve just come across this site by Googling. My surgery was due to a previous surgery I had to remove a large (rugby ball size) ovarian cyst along with the ovary it was attached to and the fallopian tube. It left me with...
