Hi I put on 6lb over crimbo and have lost 3lb so far but still finding it hard to get motivated :sigh:

Thanks, i'm on 1450 a day but not been excercising much so just got myself an excercise bike for indoors and i have a wii fit (was thinking of getting the ae sports i think its called) and plan to going swimming once a week to

Been trying the calorie counting for about a week now, but struggling already, was thinking of trying weight watchers again, should i carry on? (maybe just a bad few days) or do others swap about till they find a diet they are happy with? :confused:

Oops had a bad day today, had chicken kiev with pasta bake for dinner and snacked a bit to :( i seem to get more hungry when it's cold days, gonna get back on track tomorrow and hope i still loose a little

hiya :wavey: i'm in the same position as you, looking to loose a stone for now (3lb down already), i'm trying the calorie counting as i feel it's something i can continue with after and it will teach me lower calorie choices and cooking for life, hope this helps :) good luck

I do need to remember to drink more water! I have 3 charts on my fridge door 1. excersise progress chart (days of week, excercise options & mins, then i just fill in mins for each one) 2. food calories for each meal and total (days of week, brekkie, lunch, dinner, snacks & total for day) 3...

Brekkie - 2 toast with jam = 250 Lunch - tuna sarnie & cappaccino = 550 Dinner - weight watchers lasgne = 245 Snacks - banana = 80 aero stick = 159 Total = 1284 excercise = yoga boxing 30 mins

Thanks for all your advice :) are pompadoms high calorie? i love them with the onion salad and mango chutney..

Just read this book Jemima J by Jane Green and couldn't put it down a very good read. Anyone else read this book?

breakfast - muesli/skimmed milk & agave syrup = 350 Lunch - turkey multigrain sarnie with light mayo & salad = 250 Dinner will be - leek/broccoli & potato soup with 1 slice multi grain bread = 250 Snacks - lite plain crisp = 100 banana = 120 - milky way = 99 Total = 1170

thanks everyone, was hoping for 1 to 2 lb a week so 3lb was a surprise, just put a fitness chart on my fridge hoping to do 30 mins a day at least, activities - swimming, walking dog, wii fit, workout dvds or bike (hopefully getting a trampoline soon heard they are good)

wow i just weighed myself on the wii and i've lost 3lb already :bliss:
