Hi, I could have written your post, cos that's exactly how I feel. I list just under 2st between June and October and now gradually all those good habits are drifting off and over Xmas I have just eaten rubbish!!! It's like there is a switch in my head that turns on and I undo all my good...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped me over the last month. I got weighed at docs this morning and I've managed other 4.5lb which takes me to 21lb in 3months x Sometimes it's been hard but I am happy overall. So I guess I'm saying to everyone, keep going and use this forum - it...

I did the dreaded weigh in and wasn't as bad as I thought, a mere 2lb which I should be able to lose before the doctors. I started the day with breakfast and a 40 min walk with the doggy :) I feel more positive but I also know there will be days when I won't be perfect. Thanks for your kind...

Second good day in a row, managed to stay below my calories without feeling like I am missing out. I think my issue was not just the Freddo's (they were the last straw) I think I was upset/worried that in the week off I had ruined the work I had done in the 8 weeks before. but thanks to all of...

I think because I allowed myself that week off I somehow adjusted my brain back to its old ways. Like having cider in an evening. The reasoning for the Freddo's was boredom - was watching tv and before I knew it I had eaten them both!!!! like I said I have until 23rd August to put it right and...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support. Today has been a good day and even after my tea (according to mfp) I have over 300 calories left. i am going to still try an up the amount of walking I do, ESP at the weekends. I just want to do well. Another question - would you weigh yourself...

Thanks both of you, it helped to have another viewpoint. I have woken up this morning feeling much better, taken the dog for a 20 min walk, then walked to walk (another 10min) so I feel that I have started the day right. I have planned for lunch and tea - so we shall see what happens. I think...

Hi all, I'm sure if you see my other posts you will know that I am being weighed in at the drs once a month in the hope that's will be able to lose the 5 stone that's been hanging over my head (or waist) for far too long. Started off well 17lb in 2 months, had a week off work last week so...

Thank you xx it helps to have someone who has done so well tell their progress. im 16lb in with 4 stone left to lose (approx) I have found cc the easiest diet after slimming world and ww Just wanted to say thanks for giving my motivation for they next few weeks xx

So, not the best start with a visit to the vets for a vomiting dog and not much sleep!! But I will b strong. I am off work today so as my excerise I have done 60 mins cleaning instead of the daily walk. I should b going shopping this eve. let me know how the day goes xx

Sounds like a great plan :) So Friday is day 1!! i think I need someone to keep me motivated throughout the month, I've lost 16lb so far but losing momentum. x

Can I join the challenge without the shred part? I need some motivation! Calorie intake is at 1200 with 30min of walking (on average) everyday

Hi all, I have been to the docs for weigh in and I have lots 4.5lb which means 17.5lb pound in 2 months. overall quite happy esp with the 10 days of steroids I had to take. So I am having 2 days off (whilst keeping 1 eye on the calories) then back on it Monday. I have come to the conclusion...

Thanks, I was really really chuffed with myself. i am struggling a little this month tbh, I'm going totally crazy but I'm not bing as strict as I could be. I still appear to be losing but no where near what I did last month. I think starting the month so badly just put me in a shitty place...

Hi all, i am posting to help myself more than anything! Update is that I lost 13lb in a month (weigh in was 28th June) then managed to contract a nasty chest infection that meant I was not able to do anything for 5 days. Plus the dr gave me steroids which didn't help. So weighed myself and it...

Hi all, i was so so happy last week as I got weighed at the doc and had lost 13lb. But now I have been struck down with a nasty chest infection (which involved a trip to a &e) so I am confined to bed. I am not eating much, but what I am eating is totally wrong. I am getting no exercise as I...

Thanks for the pats xx

Hi, i have been calorie counting for 3weeks now and due to be weighed next Friday at the doctors. I have weighed myself a few times and it looks like the is a loss (at least 7lb possibly 10lb depending on the clothes) which is good I know, but this weekend I am really losing motivation. I am...

Hi, myfitnesspal is giving me 1270 per day. I put my walking in which gives me extra calories to use (on average 100 calories) but at the end of most days I still have 150-200 remaining. So I am not sure if I am actually slowing my weight loss down. During the week I walk for approx 15-20...

Hi, I don't have enough posts to do a pm, but my info is:- 235lb, 5ft 8, would like to lose at least 2lb per week. I walk to work everyday (10 mins) and I am up and about at various points throughout the day, though not constantly moving everyday. I do at least 10 mins cleaning when I get home...

Hi, I have tried every diet over the years and I have to say that CC seems to be the more straight forward option, I am using myfitnesspal and its a great help. This is my second week and I lost 6lb in my first week (next weigh in in Sunday) I have found that its all about making choices...

Hi all, i am using myfitnesspal at the moment and everyday I have been under the calories (can vary between 200 under to 80) Should I be using all my calories?? I weighed myself this morning and I appear to be staying the same this week. So I am asking advice, should I be under everyday or...

Morning all, I gave in this morning and weighed myself -it was just too hard. The result has made me smile and pushed me forward :D In 7 days I have gone from 17st 4 to 16st 11- a loss of 1/2 a stone. It has done the trick and now I can look forward into the next week knowing that what I am...

I am thinking the first 2 weeks are when I will notice the difference weight wise as I have gone from having chocolate and crisps daily to having 1 low cal crisps (95 cal) and no chocolate. i think I just need to get into a new routine. If I think about what I was eating before, makes me...

I am really hoping that it will have paid off when I go back to dr's. Otherwise I am likely to stuff my face with kebab again!! How have you got on this week? Good or bad week? I have to start more excerise I think, that's the next step

Thanks for your replies, it helps to know that other people are feeling the same and are trying to make the changes too :) So it's Saturday, I did cave and had a curlywurly last night (best I have ever tasted) and now I feel better, no cravings. The dr didn't want me to with myself until the...

So, completed my third day and according to myfitnesspal I have been under my calories everyday. i have been earning extra calories by walking to work (10 min each way), trying to walk more whilst at work and then cleaning for 20/25 mins at home while waiting for tea. I am still feeling...

Hi all, i have been here a couple of times before so I am feeling a bit sheepish being back! I reached breaking point last week when I saw a reflection of someone I didn't recognise an hated it. So a doctors appt later here I am, waiting for the healthy shop to arrive. The doc was great and...

Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks for your support yesterday, it def helped :) I didnt go totally mental. I had a low calorie tea of poached eggs and beans, but I did have a glass of wine. But today is a new day! I am drinking water and green tea and staying away from the chocolate box...

Hi all I need to post on here to vent. I started calorie counting on the 1st and have stuck to the 1200 calories (I know its only 3 days but I have been happy that I have done it) and I have done extra dog walking so my fitness level is up. Then today a member of my family has upset me and...

This may be a long rant!! I went to my first meeting 5 weeks ago but never went back, main reason was that i was workng late and that we had stuff planned. But i still weighed myself and lost 3.5lb. As the weeks have gone on i have lost another 1.5lb so i was pleased. But then now i have put...

Hey, my fitness pal gave me the target calories of the day, and u can keep track during the day. I am aiming for 1000 per day, even though the advice says 1200. Keep me posted on your journey xxx

Hi all, I started on this forum on ww and then slimming world. But neither of them have panned out! I lost 4stone since July 2010 and now hit a plateau at 15stone. So I want to try calorie counting, I have signed up for my fitness pal and I am determined to lose weight before my holiday...

I got bought one as a present and I love mine. We tried different spices and oils to make then taste different. Also cooked sausages and chilli in it. They do great things to oven chips :)

My first goal (this is my 1st week) is to lose 1 stone. I have approx 5 stone to lose so I am aiming for that 1st stone by end of jan. That gives me 4 weeks. Then I am allowed to order some new clothes!!

Hi, Just wanted to say hi. I have about the same as you to lose and it seems like such a daunting task right now. I have support at home which is great - but in the back of my mind I am still quite scared!! So, here is to a great 2012 for both of us and I hope that we will reach that...

Hi All, I joined this forum back in 2010 and was good and lost 4 stone. But now at the start of 2012 I have put about 1.5stone back on. So now I still have over 5 stone to lose. I am very mad at myself!!! So, I am hoping that slimming world and this forum will be the answer. So take care...

Hi all, I am half way into week 3 of my long and hard journey. So far I have lost 5lb and my weigh in is Tuesday. I had a sneeky look on the scales this morning and I am looking at another 2!!! I am happy with that (I think) but I am still being so impatient!!! I want everything now. I know...

Thank you for the advice and comments x I feel a bit more positive this morning (apart from breaking the coffee machine at home - glass everywhere!!) I am going to try and be good today. I didnt have chips, I made a low point curry so I think I went over by 1 point rather than about 7!!! I had...

Hey all, 1st weigh in this morning before work (supervised by the other half!) and I am 3.5lb lighter!!!! :):):) I am a bit annoyed at myself for giving into chocolate temptation on Saturday as I am now thinking what I could have done! Oh well, still a good start. I am a happy lady :):):):)
