Hello, can I join? I lost weight on Lighter Life a few years ago but put a few stones back on in the years since. I'm now back with Slim & Save to shift those pesky lbs this time. My first day was yesterday and in the 8 weeks left till Easter I'd like to lose 26 lbs. Fingers crossed and good...

Hi all, another 2lbs off for me this week so I didn't make my Christmas target but I'm only 5.5lbs away from my total goal so I'm still happy with progress. Congrats to everyone else who's been taking part in this challenge! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year...

Hi all, another 2lbs for me this week... getting there slowly but surely! :xmastree::47::109::48::26: Bev - 28lbs (-4, -3, -2, -6.5, -1.5, -5.5lbs) - 5.5lbs to go! Caffinated....28lbs ...(-8.75lb, -3.25lb, -5lb, -1lb, -0.75)... 9.25lbs to go CATHTHIN ..... 10lbs...

Hi folks, Lost another 2lbs at my weigh in last night - still a bit to go to reach my target but who knows what the next few weeks will bring! Best of luck everyone! Bev - 28lbs (-4, -3, -2, -6.5, -1.5, -5.5lbs) - 5.5lbs to go! Caffinated....28lbs ...(-8.75lb, -3.25lb, -5lb, -1lb, -0.75)...

Hi all, Congrats on everyone's recent losses! Had my weigh in last night and lost another 3lbs. Very pleased! :D :xmastree::47::109::48::26: Bev - 28lbs (-4, -3, -2, -6.5lbs) - 12.5lbs to go! Caffinated....28lbs ...(-8.75lb, -3.25lb, -5lb, 1lb)... 10lbs to go CATHTHIN ..... 10lbs...

Hi, 1.5 off for me this week - better than last week's random gain but still a little slow for my liking! Never mind, on to next week! Bev - 28lbs (-4, -3, -2, -6.5lbs) - 12.5lbs to go! Caffinated....28lbs ...(-8.75lb, -3.25lb, -5lb, 1lb)... 10lbs to go CATHTHIN ..... 10lbs...

Unbelievable. I actually put on weight this week! Put on! :eek: :confused: :cry::mad: OK, so it was only 0.5lbs, but still! How is it even possible to put on weight when I'm only eating 500 cals per day?! I didn't cheat or lapse and actually had all the same packs / water etc. as the week before...

Hi all, it was my first weigh in of this challenge last night and I managed a 3lb loss which I'm quite chuffed at. Also when sorting out my stats this morning I realised I had miscalculated (in the right way!) so my target for this challenge instead of 20.5lbs should have been 18.5 to goal - I'm...

Hi all, I'd like to join in this one too - if I can lose 20.5lbs by Christmas that would be me at my goal weight. It's a big ask as my losses mostly seem to be quite slow but I'm hopeful and thinking positive! So I've added myself to the list below... best wishes everyone! Caffinated....28lbs...

Unbelievably I lost 3lbs this week! So I still missed my target by 0.5lbs but I'm not going to beat myself up about it... 3lbs is a great weekly loss for me. So onwards to the next challenge and well done to everyone on this one! :giggle:Blonde Logic ...21 to go...-8.5 ....12.5 to go...

Hi all, another -1.5lbs for me this week. I doubt I'll make my target now as my losses have been much slower recently but at least I know I'm better off than I was at the start of this challenge! One more weigh in to go, so we'll see if I can manage an impressive (for me!) 3.5lbs loss by then...

Another -1.5 for me this week... :giggle:Blonde Logic ...21 to go...-8.5 ....12.5 to go carrie1980...-3lbs ..20.5lbs to go :cross:Clarabow 28lb to go...-6....22lb to go :DDaisydoll .... 8.5 lbs to go :princess: Debbi8489 24lbs to go...-19...5lbs to go :party0011:Eatlikeabird...24lbs...

Hiya, we're doing great! Another 2.5lbs off for me this week... still going slowly and not sure about making my target, but I'm still a hell of a lot better than I was when the challenge started so still smiling! Good luck for the next weigh in all! :whistle:Blonde Logic ...21 to go...-8.5...

Another -1.5lbs for me thie week... :whistle:Blonde Logic ...21 to go...-8.5 ....12.5 to go carrie1980...-3lbs ..20.5lbs to go :cross:Clarabow 28lb to go...-6....22lb to go :DDaisydoll .... 12.5 lbs to go :princess: Debbi8489 24lbs to go...-12.5...11.5lbs to go...

Hi all, I lost 4lbs at weigh in last night - it was actually for 10 days rather than a week because I had to switch to the new group, but given my low losses recently I'm very pleased with that! My new LLC and group are great too - I'll actually be getting the group work for a change - So...

Aw, thanks MrsBurgundy! :) (Each week I seem to hope for way more than I actually ever lose but I'm still pleased with the results overall so far.) Had a bit of a panic at WI last night when my counsellor told me that she was closing the business and I would have to transfer to another LLC...

Hi folks, wow, everyone's doing so well! I missed last weeks weigh in so this is for 2 weeks - 5.5lbs. Was hoping for 6lbs in the 2 weeks but it's still better than nothing! Best of luck for the coming weeks folks! :flirt2:Blonde Logic ...21 to go...-3 ....18 to go carrie1980...23.5lbs to go...

Ugh! OK, I'll try again... this time hope the list is OK! :flirt2: Blonde Logic ...21 to go :cross: Clarabow 28lb to go...-6....22lb to go :D Daisydoll .... 21lbs to go :princess: Debbi8489 24lbs to go :party0011:Eatlikeabird...24lbs to go :bunnydance:Juju_doll ...14lbs to go :silly...

Hi, Hope it's OK for me to join in too - I'm finding these challenges really helpful (even if I don't make the target it helps me focus on my long and shorter term goals!) I've added myself in for 20lbs and updated the alphabetical order. Hope I haven't messed anything up! :) Best of luck all...

Hi all, well I didn't meet my target for August but I'm still really pleased as I spent the last few days on a planned break from LL, eating actual food whilst on a long weekend away, and... I didn't put on any lbs! Unbelievable! I tried to make healthy choices, and am so pleased it seemed to...

Hi Folks, I wasn't at my weigh in last night so used my scales at home, and by my calculations I've lost 2lbs this week so I haven't quite made my target this month. :( However, I'm still 8.5lbs lighter than I was at the end of July so it's all good... :) Fingers crossed for a bit more of a loss...

Thanks MissLouse! Next WI is the night before I go away for a few days break (just pottering about the Scottish countryside, no big sunshiney hols for me this year :D). I've taken the decision to have a break from LL for the few days I'm away as I'm about half way through my weight loss now, and...

Hi folks, at my weigh in on Thursday I'd lost another 1.5lbs. I'll miss next week's WI though which would be my final one of the month so I'll try to work out my final total for this challenge using my scales at home instead. Hope that's OK! :queen:Blonde Logic 17 lbs.....-6.75 = 10.75 to go!~...

Hi, congrats on the losses! I had my weigh in last night and have lost another 2lbs. Not as much as I'd hoped, but still getting there. Fingers crossed next week is a bit better! :queen:Blonde Logic 17 lbs.....-5 = 12 to go!~ :) SummerScream 20 lbs -4 =16 to go! ;) Ulysses31 14 lbs.... 14...

Hi Folks, Congrats to everyone on August's losses so far! I haven't been able to log in for a few days to update, but at my weigh in last week I lost 3lbs so am on my way to target too! :queen:Blonde Logic 17 lbs.....-5 = 12 to go!~ :) SummerScream 20 lbs -4 =16 to go! ;) Ulysses31 14...

Thanks for the lovely comments folks and well done to everyone else on their losses! Just signed up for next month's challenge too... bring it on! :D

Flushed with success from last month's challenge, count me in too! Best of luck everyone! :queen:Blonde Logic 17 lbs.....17 to go!~ :) SummerScream 20 lbs -4 =16 to go! ;) Ulysses31 14 lbs.... 14 to go! :party0049: KarmaWitch 15 lbs....15 to go! Pinkie 4 lbs.... 4 to go! :vibes: MissLouise193...

Hi folks, I had my weigh in last night, the last one for July, and lost another 2.5lbs which means I've beaten my target by 1lb! Really chuffed... and looking forward to the next challenge! Well done everyone on your July losses! Pinkie: 0lbs (on RTM!)... +2 (Oops, stupid wine!) :flirt2: Matt...

Well done on those losses everyone! I managed another 2.5 lbs at my weigh in last night, and for the first time I've had people (who aren't my friends or family!) mention my weight loss this week :D 3 of them! Guess it's starting to show now. Looking forward to more coming off in the next few...

Hi folks, Had my weigh in last night and after 2 weeks of small losses I managed -4.5lbs this week! Really chuffed as I thought it would be 2.5-3 at the most. Fingers crossed for this week, hope everyone's doing well!

Hiya, just back from weigh in and it's only another -1.5lbs for me again this week. :confused: I know it's all still going in the right direction, but it's infuiriating that it's not more. Ugh. Never mind, maybe next week will be better... maybe? (Fingers crossed my metabolism gets it's ass in...

10lbs for me please (a bit more realistic than last month... hopefully I'll get there this time!) :o)

Well, it was just a 1.5lbs loss for me this week - missed my monthly target but at least the scales are still moving in the right direction! Am hoping a small loss this week means an even bigger one next... well I can dream right?! ;) And congrats Pinkie too - just seen your pictures and they...

Congrats on your degree result, that's fantastic news! :D Well done you!

Hi folks, well done on everyone's losses! I missed my WI last week but made it this week so could someone please update me with a -5lb loss for the two weeks. Thanks!

Well done everyone on the losses so far! A 2lb loss for me this week.

Well done everyone! I was down another 3.5lbs at last nights weigh in, and when I got home I tried on a dress I'd bought last year but which I couldn't zip up at the time and... it zipped! OK, so it still hangs weird and it'll be another stone or two before I can actually wear it out in public...

Ooh, can I join too? 14lbs for me please! Thanks guys.

Wow! Well done everyone on this weeks losses! I had my week 3 weigh in last night and am down another 3.5lbs which puts me at a stone loss now! In three weeks - I'm really chuffed as I've not had these kind of losses with any other diet before. Here's to many more for all of us! :D

Welcome 'alighterlife', best of luck with your first week! I had my second WI last night and have lost another 4lbs. I'm really pleased as I had convinced myself it would be 1 or 2lbs at the most... not sure why, I just felt heavy you know? So anyway I'm raring to go for week three now - I just...

Well done on your loss for this week possum! I was 4lbs too at my WI last night but thought it would be much less as well. Best of luck with the cycling!

Congrats on your loss again this week! And that's great news about the size 16s too, a couple more weeks and you'll be there!

Aw, sorry you're feeling rubbish and finding it tough. Maybe one of the flavours would help with the water? It's a lot to get down in a day - before this I hardly used to drink anything! Yep, I'm on total and I started properly on May 6th so am on day 9 today. I've found it OK for the most...

Oh no, please don't think that! I'm sure plenty of people are interested in your diary - I know I am! We started at the same time so it's helpful to me to know we are going through the same things. At least you are brave enough to put it all down in a diary - I'm a bit too chicken yet... maybe a...

Well done on the 12lbs this week Possum, that's a fantastic start! At this rate you'll be done in no time! :D

Hi all, hope everyone's doing well. I had my first weigh in last night and I've lost 7lbs! In truth I had hoped for a bit more, but realistically I'm really chuffed with that - 7lbs is a big step on the journey! I'm still doing fine motivation wise, and I've got my first bars now too which will...

Congrats on your loss at the pop in this week - that's amazing!

Hiya, well done on getting through the first week, and good luck with your weigh in tomorrow! I'm sure it will go great! I think I'm the same as you with the packs - the curry and chilli really don't do it for me and I was surprised by the bananna and vanilla ones with coffee in them, really...

Well done Mandie thats an absolutely fantastic loss! :happy096:

Wow! Possum and CANdothis those are amazing losses! Well done both of you! And welcome Fitnessqueen1 too! :)

Best of luck with your first weigh ins! I'm sure the scales will reflect all your hard work. (My first one is this Thursday night and I'm looking forward to it but really nervous at the same time. Eek!) Best wishes!

Hi Everyone! It sounds like we are all off to a good start - a few ups and downs obviously but that's only to be expected. I found myself dreaming about food the other night and woke up convinced I'd eaten something and felt really bad. It took a few minutes before I realised it was only a...

Hi all, Well I finally had my first meeting last night and had my first pack this morning - 'porridge'. It doesn't taste like any porridge I've ever had before but then it did fill me up so I'm pleased with that. Am now at work with my water and pedometer, excited to be started. I'm already...

Nooo! Oh, I hope you have a turnaround today and things get better. Just sit back and have a think about why you wanted to do this in the first place, and how great it will be at the end. I know it's not easy (if it was everyone would do it!) but you seemed so determined at the start, I really...

Hi Size 16 will do, Don't worry about this little bump in the road - when I went to my information meeting the LLC told me even then that wobbles like this can be fairly common as you are adjusting to the packs (and even further into it) and the important thing to do is just put it behind you...

Yay! It looks like there are quite a few of us starting / restarting this month. Best of luck to all! Size 16 Will Do - hope you get on OK tomorrow. I'm hoping to start at the end of the week so am looking forward to hearing your experiences over the next few days as you get started. Hope it...

Hi, Thanks for starting this thread - it's good to know there are others starting around the same time as me! I'm hoping to start LL for definite on Friday May 6th - I had my intro meeting last night and have a Drs appt booked for next week to get my forms signed (my usual doctor is off though...

Great idea! I'd join in.

Hi, I got my form last night and hope to go to my first meeting next Thursday (5th) so to start properly on the Friday too. Best wishes Possum, Mandie and Size 16 will do!

Hi all, well I weighed myself this morning for the first time since I started trying to lose weight again and I've lost 5lbs this week! Which puts me well on the way to my March target (yay!). So much so that I've decided to revise my target up to 10lbs instead of 8. Not sure how well I'll do...

Hiya, I managed another 1hr 2 mins last night... slowly getting there! Miss Mango: 20 hours - 1 hour 33 minutes done Julie2011: 12 hours - 0 done Relle: 12 hours - 1 hour 20 minutes done Ndc331: 15 hours - 55 minutes done Judimac : 15 hours -4hr 9mins done Owls4eva: 15 hours - 4 hr 57 mins done...

Hi all, I finally managed to dust off the Wii last night and do 53 mins. I actually enjoyed getting back into it - I'd forgotten how nice and sunny the wii island is ... better than the dull sies and rain here! Anyway I've updated my times below and added in a few others that needed updating too...

Hi all, I hope it's OK to join in a few days late? I'm just starting back trying to lose weight and I think it's about time I dusted off the Wii again. It's been a while since I last used it in earnest, so I'll put myself down for 10 hours this month to see how I get on, and then hopefully I can...

Hi all, I lost some weight last year but then took my eye off the ball over Christmas etc. and put back on almost a stone. Ugh! So now I want to get back to losing again and get rid of that horrible Christmas stone... plus another 5 (eek!) so I absolutely need to get cracking again. Hope it's OK...

Hiya, I lost another 1lb this week - not much but at least it's consistent! Congrats to all so far, and good luck for the week ahead! SammyE : 8lbs lost - 49lbs to go QueenOfTheDamned : 17lbs lost - 83lbs to go!! Seasons : 2lbs lost - 33lbs to go Kes : 1.5lb lost - 37.5lbs to go Ria : 5lb lost...

Hi all, another 1lb off for me... as usual, not much but at least it's consistent! Let us know how you go with the cereal diet thing Nee, I've always wondered about those. And congrats to everyone else on their losses!

Yeay, I lost one lb too! Fingers crossed for next week! SammyE : 6.5lbs lost - 50.5lbs to go QueenOfTheDamned : 100lbs to go!! Seasons : 2lbs lost - 33lbs to go Kes : 1lb lost - 38lbs to go Ria : 4lb lost - 37lbs to go Precious : 51lbs to go Sa89 : 3lbs lost - 56lbs to go DebsM :1lb lost -...

Hiya, congrats on the losses folks! I lost 1lb this week... again not much, but it's something. I'm now down to 14st (yeay! It's taken me long enough!) now to reset the goals to 13 stone (seems to far away!) and just keep on keepin' on! Nee, hope you start feeling better soon and are able to get...

Congrats on the losses everyone! I've not managed to lose anything this week so my numbers are still the same :sigh: but at least I've not gone backwards. Good luck to all for next week... I'm hoping to fit in a bit more exercise so fingers crossed there might be some movement in the right...

Of course we'll stay with you Nee! Don't beat yourself up about falling off the wagon, we all do it (I've had a particular weakness for Mint Aero this week so I've not lost anything recently, ugh) but it's important just to pick yourself up and start again. Draw a line under the last week or two...

Hi again - I had my weigh in last night and lost one lb - yeay! I know it's not a lot but I'm still really pleased as I didn't think I would lose anything this week. Hope everyone else is doing well! SammyE : 6.5lbs lost - 50.5lbs to go QueenOfTheDamned : ??? Seasons : 2lbs lost - 33lbs to go...

Hi again, and thanks Kes - it looks like your well wishes worked - another 1lb off! I really didn't think I would lose any this week but I'm so pleased I did. Creeping closer to my next goal of 14st now, I'm only 1lb off it... here's hoping I reach it (or shoot past it!) next weigh in! Hope...

Hiya, I'd like to join too if I could. By Christmas I'd like to be down to 11st so that would be a 44lb loss I'd need! (eek!) I have a weigh in later tonight so hope to be able to update this with some good news tomorrow! Fingers crossed, and best wishes to all! SammyE : 6.5lbs lost - 50.5lbs...

Hi Folks, Hope you're all doing well - I've had internet probs so not been able to check in for a few weeks but hopefully everything's sorted now! After putting on those 2lbs a few weeks ago, I then took them back off the next week then lost another 1lb last week. Yeay! I have my next weigh in...

Pants! This week I've managed to put back on the 2lbs I lost last week. Just when I think I've got the hang of it too! The really annoying thing though is that I can't see what I'm particularly doing different in good weeks and bad weeks - it's not like I had cake or takeaway or anything. Ugh...

Well done Kes! I lost another 2lbs this week too - I've now lost more in the last 2 weeks than in the whole month of May. Here's hoping it continues... fingers crossed! Good luck to everyone for the week ahead!

Hi all, Congrats on the losses folks! May was rubbish for me, but I weighed in on Wednesday night for the first time in June and I'd lost 2lbs! Which I know aint much but considering how rubbish it's been lately I was really chuffed. I went out on Sat night with some friends for the first time...

Hi all, well overall May hasn't gone quite as well for me as I'd hoped... actually it's been pretty rubbish. At my last weigh in for this month I lost another 1lb which brings May's total to a dizzying 3lb loss. Ugh, I'd hoped for so much more. Still, it means I'm 3lb closer to my goal, and I'm...

Just seen your last message Nee, hope all goes well at the Drs and you get everything sorted out to give you a bit of a boost to feel better and start losing again. Best of luck!

Hi all, I weighed myself as usual on Wednesday and had stayed the same for last week (which I suppose wasn't really a surprise given what I'd eaten at the weekend!) But things have ben busier for me this week so I've not had time to snack, I've been good with the meals I have had and I've been...

Never mind Nee, it's done now, just draw a line under the week and move on... (yeah, yeah, great advice from me, who ended up having a creamy blue cheese sauce at dinner last night, and then some full fat ice cream too... :break_diet: ugh, will no doubt pay for it later today though!) Best of...

Hi all, congrats on the losses these last few weeks! Glad you're on the road to recovery Kes! My computer has been playing up so I wasn't able to post last week but thankfully it's all up and running again now! I managed a 1lb loss last week, and again another 1lb this week. Not setting the...

Hi all, Gosh, it seems to have been a week for it! I've fallen off the wagon a bit too this week and had pizza hut at the weekend and then cake the next day too. Eek! Totally regretting it now as I ended up only losing 1lb and I know I could have done more. But at least it's still a loss and...

Morning folks! Hope everyone is doing well. I had my weigh in last night and had lost another 2 lbs... seems to be steadying out at about that rate - fingers crossed I can keep it going or improve! By my calculations (thought maths was never my strong point!) I've lost 6lbs in April so I'm on...

Hello all, it sounds like everyone's got exciting plans and it's great to read about others' levels of motivation too! I lost another 2lbs this week so again, not a dramatic loss but it's still slowly shifting. I'm quite pleased with it as I was away for a few days last weekend and ended up...

Yeay! Welcome back Nee, glad you got your internet connection sorted out... you were missed here! Re: the sausages.. Eek! I'm a bit worried as I'm just about to head off for long weekend up north and I won't have as much control over what I'm eating... fingers crossed I won't have too many...

Hi Maynie, I tried South Beach many, many years ago but if this doesn't work then I'll probably give it another go. I really want to make it work now! At my last weigh in the other day I lost 1 lb - I was hoping for a lot more but perhaps the slow down is just my body adjusting to the changes (I...

Hello! Congrats to everyone on their March weight losses! I had my second weigh-in yesterday and lost 1 lb... I was hoping for more given it's only my 2nd week, I had been just as good if not better than the first week, AND I'm now on the Xenical! But hopefully its just my body adjusting and it...

Hi all, room for another one? I'm desperately trying to lose weight at the moment as I've simply reached the end of my tether with being overweight and all the problems it causes. I've recently been referred to the hospital with joint pain and of course it's 99% to do with being overweight for...

Hello all. Good luck for the weekend Chickydee! Hope you sail through it with no major cravings! Thanks Nee - I started the pills the other night. I've not noticed much difference yet but I've been pretty good on the fat intake and it will probably take a few days to build up in my system...

Hurrah! Had my first proper weigh in yesterday and I lost 6lb! Hoping this week goes well too! Thanks to all for the help and encouragement this last week, and best wishes to everyone for the coming week's losses too! x

Thanks Nee! Am a bit aprehensive for the 'official' weigh in later as it's my first one, but looking forward to crossing some of those lbs off the list and working towards the goals! Hopefully heading somewhere sunny for my hols though nothing is officially booked yet but it's nice to have...

I've been using the wii fit for about a week now and my age has bounced between 23 and 45... I'm 32! It seems to be wildly different each time I try it. Hoping it will level off soon!

Hi all, room for another one on the challenge? I just started my weight loss last week and have my first weekly weigh in tomorrow - eek! I'm going on holiday at the end of October and would like to lose around 5st by then so so 4st by the beginning of September would fit in nicely with that! At...

Thanks Lozzy! (Yep, I'm addicted to the Hula Hoop thingy on the Wii... well there's something I never thought I'd say!) Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks Mini and Irene!

Hello! I'm new to Xenical myself. I started the low fat eating a few days ago and will start the tablets at the weekend. (I figure I'll give my body a day or two to adjust first before diving in). Good luck with it all Charlie - hope to hear about all your successes along the way! I'm glad to...

Thanks Lozzy! Lovely to 'meet' you! I'm not on WW at the moment but I may try it soon - I'm just trying to wing it for now with a low fat diet (as my doctor has given me Xenical... although I'm a bit nervous to start it), and a heavy reliance on the Wii Fit. If I struggle in a few weeks then WW...

Hello all! I'm new here, and new to forums in general so excuse me if I muck things up a little at first! I started my diet yesterday, have over 100 lbs to lose... eek. So as it's going to be a long ride I thought I'd join here for a little company on the journey. Looking forward to getting...
