Haven't been on this site for a few month. I lost 2 1/2 stone between Jan and May this year. Then slowly slipped into bad habits and put on half a stone over the summer. Have started again 4 weeks ago and lost 8lbs so back to where I was. Now need to keep motivated. Want to try and lose 10lb by...

Thanks for the messages! I ended up having an ice lolly instead! No quite the same!lol

I am now only overweight. Still doesnt sound great but better than obese. Lost 2st3lb since January. It seems to be getting harder each week and finding it harder to not give into temptation but got to keep going! Resisting the urge to celebrate with cheeesecake!!!!

- 3 for me this week. 11lb to go!

At the mo I am 11st 10lbs have just started to fit into size 14's in most shops top and bottoms. I am 5ft2.

Good Luck with the no cheese challenge. However cheese is the one thing i could never ever give up!

I like weightwatchers chocolate ice cream desert - only 90cals! Wish I had some in the freezer now!.

I use the scales on the wii to weigh myself. Not sure how accurate they are in terms of my exact weight. But trust them to show how much ive gone down. Like how they keep track of weight and got a nice graph of the line going down for the 2 stone ive got. As I weigh myself most day (i know I...

Sounds good. Gonna have a look at that now! I've bought quite a few from play.com for only a few pounds each.

I'll join in too. So far (since Jan) have lost 1st 12lbs. So my aim for summer in 16lbs to make it a 3stone overall weightloss. Good luck everyone.

Got back last Sunday from a week in Gran Canaria where I had a week off diet - ate whatever I wanted all week! Was so nice. WHen I got back I weighed myself and had put on 8lbs - I knew I was very bloated but was shocked by the amount. However 5 days later I have lost 7lb of that already. Woo...

Have lost 3lb this week. So lost 11lb during this challenge - 2lb less than target. Would have probably achieved it if not going on holiday next week so pretty pleased with results so far. lets hope my eek off on holiday isnt too bad! Pumpkin2008-14lb....-4.5lb....(9.5lb to go)...

I find the weekends hard or any time om off from work. When Im at work i can only eat the food i bring so can pick throughout the day. The odd weekend drink and meal out doesn't help!!

Im off for a weeks beach holiday week after next. Planning to have the week pretty much off the diet, but lots of walking and swimming and avoid the normal holiday fry ups. Hoping dont put on too much weight but even if i do its one week a year!!! Gonna make the most of it.

Had a bad week last week where I stayed the same due to lots of bad snacking. Have been better and lost more this week. Have lost 6/13lbs so far. 7 to go!Not sure i'll make it as going on holiday the week befor easter! Pumpkin2008-14lb....-1lb....(13lb to go) jenniferyellowhat (168lbs)-14lbs...

Thanks for your comments. I have gone for healthier snacks - cereal, crackers with cheese spread, weightwatchers bread - just lots more than normal. Find it so much harder when i'm at home all day - during the working day i have no time to eat much and so dont miss it!! Off to the gym followed...

For some reason I cant stop snacking today!!! :sigh: really craving junk food - first time really since I started dieting 2 months ago. Just need to vent and make an online promise to myself that tomorrow I will start a fresh!!!! Starting to lose motivation and need to find some to start being...

My feet hurt too! I'm about 4 stone over weight, 5 when I started. It is getting easier. Tho find its only worth running when i have energy. On monday after a long stressful day at work could only run for a couple of minutes, whereas yesterday i felt really energic and managed 91/2 minutes of...

Well done Irish Mum!

Optiva cereal: 170cals ish Dairylea dunker: 100cals Yoghurt:70 cals Marshmallow/wafer thingy?? 55cals =400cals so far That leaves 800 for dinner (chicken with cous cous) and weightwatchers 90cal pudding so think i'll be under today. YEAH!

I am finding it much easier now. Am going to the gym after work, having a small snack when I get back. And then dinner an hour or 2 later. Seems to be working. Think my body is starting to get used to the exercise as 5 weeks ago i did very little exercise and now going to gym/classes/dvd 4...

Well done Velvet Rose - That's great!

I managed to jog on treadmill for 8 1/2 minutes yday - albeit at a very slow pace. Followed that with another 7 minutes brisk walk on treadmill, 10 mins on cross trainer, 10 mins on bike and 8 on rowing machine!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!

Had a not so good start with a big valentines meal and a bad day on monday. But lost 2lb so far. Just booked a holiday for week before easter so am going to try and lose it by then. Won't have a bikini body but would be the lightest i have been for years so would be good. Am worried about...

Good luck - You can do it!!

I think i'm gonna treat myself to pancakes tonight - normal recipe. But gonna have splenda and lemon or orange juice - rather than the chocolate sauce and ice cream i would normally have. We deserve a treat once in a while. Now need to decided what to give up for lent! Not religious but thought...

I'll join in. I'll go for 13lb which would take me to a 2stone loss overall. Pumpkin2008-14lb jenniferyellowhat (168lbs)-14lbs dextermummy 20lbs EveryRose - 12lbs (eek) Jane1982 - 13lbs

I like the angela griffins dance workout -sure it was less than a fiver on play or hmv.com. Broken up into 10 minute chunks and is good if you like dance type dvds without being complicated.

Well done pumpkin! I've lost my 1st stone today too! Its a great feeling!

i agree with starlight. I am guilty of going on the scales every other day so i understand the temptation. If i were you i'd leave it a couple of days and check again. Make sure you weigh at same time every day as your food/water intake will affect weight.

Thanks for that. Have had a look and it looks good - just what I need!! Don't want to push myself too soon and give up or go to slowly but that sounds just about right!

Today I managed to jog on the treadmill - albeit for a couple of minutes only - but so proud of myself. Been going to gym for couple of weeks now - did little exercise before. My goal is to be able to do 10 minutes within next couple of months. Is this achieveable? Has anyone else gone from...

Hope so. Feeling better today so maybe i will get used to eat. Determined not to give in.

I've tried that. Think i'm gonna have to rely on willpower! RA

Glad its not just me. It's so annoying though - can't help feeling it defeats the purpose if I end up eating more!! Ra. Though am enjoying the exercise so am determined to stick with it. Hope it will get better once i get used to the exercise.

Hi all Been on a calorie counting diet since beginning of January. Started building in exercise in the last couple of weeks. joined a Gym for the first time ever and have been 4 times in a week! and been doing bits of exercise on the wii and fitness videos. Problem is I am constantly hungry...

Good luck.

Thank you for all you comments. Have stuck to it since me orginal post and have lost 6lb's since then. (Had lost 5lbs since beginning of Jan) I have joined the gym for the first time in my life last week and have been 3 times so far - actually enjoying it. Off to a bums, tum and thighs class on...

Wow thats amazing. Well done. Hope I have the same willpower.

Good luck :-)

Thanks. Been again today. Just oping I can keep it up when the novelty wears off.

I joined the gym this week too. Went for the first time ever yesterday and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Ache today tho!

Wow! thats brilliant.

Good luck.

Good luck - and I also agree with setting small targets - i'm aiming for half a stone at a time.

I agree. Reading through forums has really helped motivate me. Started diet properly last sunday. Starting to enjoy it and cravings for junk food gradually decreasing.Determined to keep it up now!! Good luck both of you.x x

I use my wii fit to measure, on carpet. I figure as long as it is in the same place it will tell me how much i have lost/gained. also once i have got wii on to weigh it motivates me to play a few active games on it too.

Thanks Pheonix65

Hi. Been overweight for many years. Most diets last about 3/4 days until i give in to unhealthy food. Determinded to make it work this time and hoping online help will give me motivation. Not following any set diet plan - too fussy an eater - but going for healthier options and trying to start...
