322.5 - down 1.4 lbs from last week, so that's my first half stone reached, yay!

323.9 - down 3.1 lbs from last week woot :)

I am going to write this through the day so I can keep adding bits to it as I go and then update at the end of the day. I'm feeling good today, very strong and very positive - it's amazing that a bit of weight loss will give me just the boost that I desperately need to continue with this journey...

Sounds like you're doing everything you can - what a great journey!! Very inspiring :)

Week 2: lost 1.5 lbs (3.5 lbs in total) = 327.0 Well this is today's entry, that's 1.5 lbs down following SW pretty closely. I am somewhat disappointed because I had thought it would be a bigger loss than that. Having said that, I do think last week's weigh in was a very optimistic scales...

Wow what a difference in the photos!! That's fantastic - sorry about your bike, that's rubbish.

Oh dear, it's very quiet here! Never mind, I'm going to report a 1.5 lbs loss this week, which is a little disappointing for the first week but I'll take it. So the formal stats: 327.0 lbs - down 1.5 lbs from last week, and 1.5 lbs in total. Next week I'm aiming for 2 lbs loss to take me down...

Thank you so much, really appreciated you sorting it out so quickly :)

Hey Lauren , what a supportive post! Please go away - I find your post incredibly intrusive and self-centred in my diary. Does your supervisor know that you are spamming online? Incidentally, not sure I would have any faith in your confidentiality clause when you have all your details at one...

Yesterday went well, so that's good. I stuck to the plan and had 14.5 syns in total, feeling good about this. Hopefully will post later :)

Just starting back up here on the Sunday weigh in - I lose so much weight here a few years ago. Here goes :)

This was going to be my 'start' week, but actually I am now 2 lbs down from last week. Anyway, I have read the pig wrestling book which was one of the most inspirational things that I have ever read and it helped me to refocus on weight loss through Slimming World. Partly it was about what...

Rejoining this site after years because it was always such a great place to post - seems a little lonely looking around so I'm setting up camp here!

Another good day, feels like I'm making changes. This week's new goal is to do it, no matter how badly or how half-heartedly - don't wait for perfection, just keep plodding on. Feels okay I guess. My leg is dragging quite badly, I think I need to go back to see someone urgently. 47 and I...

So I've lost 2lbs this week, and I'm very very pleased about that. I've had a good week, I've tried hard and it's paid off. I've walked every day, and have achieved my walking goal. I've been to the gym four times go me! And I feel good about all the small positive steps I've taken. I think...

I'm feeling quite good about myself today. I've been to the gym three times this week and pushed myself hard. I've been wearing my FitBit and trying to increase my number of steps per day. Food hasn't been as good as it should have been, because I had lunch out yesterday and I had the ice...

Today is going reasonably well. I'm tracking my food on the SW website, and here's today's plan: B: Magic porridge and raspberries L: Mushroom risotto and salad (rocket / spring onions / mushrooms / grapes) D: Prawn curry and rice Going to the gym tonight for the third day in a row, woot!

Feeling good and on track today. I've had porrige/raspberries/yoghurt for breakfast and a small portion of home made risotto for lunch. More importantly than that though, I've avoided cake and biscuits. I'm tracking what I eat on SW website, so hopefully that will help. I want to see a good...

I have so many goals for the year, and I'm making good progress on a lot of them. I'm going to go through them just for me: 1. Route 66: lose 66 lbs. Hmmmm, defo a WiP (Work in progress) 2. Treasure the love of my life: going well 3. The sound of silence: total NC with my pig of an ex - working...

Well, it's been a funny couple of weeks, and the dieting has not gone at all well. I was so so tempted to just ditch this thread and rename myself and start a new one. Running away I guess! But no, that's no good to anyone. I rejoined SW today, my weigh in day is going to be Saturdays...

I've been away for a few days with work, back now and into SW again. I do need to find a way to cope with lack of routine and how to make good choices. Sigh. Anyway, can't see a loss coming my way on Saturday but we shall stick with it. Today hasn't been too bad, but I haven't been...

Well done for joining class, that's a great start! Hope that yu have a fabulous weekend and a good week ahead for your first weigh in - am sure that you will see a good loss :)

Sunday here and I'm feeling good about the weight loss - more than that, I seem to have calmed down a lot with overeating, I'm in quite a tranquil place right now, it's hard to explain but it feels good. Feels good, and I'm optimistic about today. The things that knock me off balance though...

Hi DeeMum, you're very welcome :) Magic porridge is a nice SW breakfast - 35g of porridge oats mixed with muller lite over night all stirred together and I put frozen raspberries on the top. I take that in to work usually, and it's nicer than something you would buy in Starbucks! Very cheap...

Really good day today, I feel back in the swing of it! B: magic porridge and grapes L: SW wedges + salad + soup D: mushroom and bacon risotto Snacks: fruit Feeling good at lots of little victories. I avoided falling into the cakes at work, I feel I'm really getting somewhere with my eating...

Good luck, I've loads to lose as well Deemum :)

First full day back on SW after quite a rough week. So today: B: magic porridge and grapes L: rice / tuna Snacks: apples / low cal jelly D: tomato soup and bread I know that the last one isn't right but I'm still not up to a full meal as such. However I have meal planned and am all ready...

Still feeling dead rough, but great for losing all the weight I've gained over the wedding last week!! I'm not really following anything at the moment, my diet is trying to be very much about 'white' food that will stay in my system. So lots of soup, white bread, and no fruit/veg. It's not...

Wedding was amazing and perfect, and I think I must have put on every lbs I lost due to the copious amounts of champagne!! Saturday was struck down by a nasty vomiting bug, which has really wiped me out. Not so much about what food I'm eating, but just not been eating anything since then...

Well, just setting off for the big wedding this morning, so won' t be around till Saturday. I'm going to continue to TRY to follow SW all week, but it's not going to be easy and I'm not kidding myself about that. Still losing so that's good, and maybe I can remind myself of this goal. But...

Feeling good about myself, I'm glad I started this journal like thread for me, it's a good place for me to have a place to talk about my journey. I hope it's a long journey to goal. Can't believe I came so far a few years ago and let some of it slip away. Not all of it though, and that's good...

Struggling today for the simple reason that I'm off work and my partner wants to go out and do stuff, and I am weakwilled. Let's review though: B: magic porridge, tick L: in a cafe, nothing especially helpful. I had roast beef on a panini with a salad - the dressing was drenched in oil and...

Woo hoo that's a great result, I'm 5lbs down today. So pleased! So that's 263lbs / 18st 11, which is a big boost for next week. Difficult week with a big wedding, but still.....

Working from home today and feeling good!! I've got to avoid the challenges of nibbling through the day when I get bored/want a break. The thing I really like about SW is that I can plan to have snacks easily, and that it's not about the hunger. I am finding it astonishingly easy on day 3, I...

Day 2 and all going swimmingly well so far - I love the fact that this way of eating seems to calm down my cravings completely. Breakfast: magic porridge Pret skinny latte Snacks: apple and a pear Lunch: left overs sausage and butterbean bake and a salad (no dressing) Dinner: SW mushroom and...

Well, day one in earnest and I am feeling pretty good. We did a major shop today and I have planned the week's food / meals, so that feels organised. Today I've had: - toast (not great but all I had in) - pear and apple as snacks - ravioli for lunch - diced carrots for snacks - skinny...

Actually I think my start weight might have been 268lbs, or 19st2, but all pretty horrific however you count it. Never mind, I have a plan at least.

I need a reset. I've rejoined SW as of today, and weighing 270 lbs. Weigh-ins are going to be a Saturday, and not this one but the one after that so we can see how I've done. I'm a little bit daunted but looking forward to this.

Down 1.5 lbs, yay :)

Thanks Zappacat - good day today, as well! How's it going for you??? Hopefully you're nailing it too :) Porridge for breakfast Soup with ryvita / peanut butter for lunch Apple for a snack Pork medallions/mash/carrots for tea Snack = popcorn Trying to cut right back on sugar which is a major...

Another day another dollar! I'm feeling pretty good about myself today, the salad last night was delicious and has put me in a great frame of mind. Today's food choices: - porridge from Pret with honey - soup with oatcakes for lunch - hot chocolate as a snack - lentil/ham/carrot salad (second...

Another week starting - I feel like I've got a cold starting as well boooo. Never mind, lots of gargling, First Defence, echinacea and all that. Cannot say that I do not try! Today's menu:- - crumpets x 2 - Soup and potato wedges for lunch - air popped popcorn for snack at 4 -...

Should have updated here to say that I lost a pound yesterday, so that was good. Got to do better this week though! I've been to gym three times this week, and done a solid hour plus each time, which makes me feel like I'm going for it. I do like going once I get there, and it helps that my...

Hanging in there - it's snowy and icy today, and I hate this kind of weather with a passion. So inconvenient and annoying. Plus my leg is absolutely killing me, so I've had to take painkillers. BUT I've not overeaten or anything, and am tracking everything I eat today, so that's good. I've...

It was my birthday yesterday and a bit of a blow-out - BUT at least I didn't eat solidly all day and also I had been sticking to my resolutions for the first week rather than wait for one week in to start on Monday 11 January. Had my first weigh in yesterday and I had lost 3 lbs. Down to...

I'm working from home so lovely and cosy - it's really cold today. I've had a good few days so far, and the plan of action today is quite boring: - toast x 2 with jam (no butter) - soup and potato wedges baked - balsamic chicken, noodles and peas - fruit as a snack So all very healthy...

Struggling a bit now - I'm hungry and restless at work. I want cake/chocolate or something like that. Ho hum, will go and have another coffee and try to forget about it. I'd like to see at least a 2lbs loss on Saturday morning, get me going and started on this journey. I do weigh daily, but am...

Good start to the day, feeling positive and perky about it all. I think the sugar rushes are out of my system so the cravings have settled down a bit more. Today's food choices: - skinny latte from Pret - magic porridge (SW recipe) with oats, raspberries and yoghurt - fruit as snack - Oxtail...

Thanks Lucie! Good advice :) A good day food wise - all seems to be going well. Plus I have my new FitBit charger, so have set that up and I've linked it to MFP account. Yay :)

Thanks Lucie!!!!!!!!!!! God today seems like such a long day Guess I'm missing stuffing my face. Had very sensible rice and tuna for lunch, and now out for a walk to try and get some exercise and fresh air and strengthen my leg. Also need to buy a workbook and some birthday cards, and maybe...

Back at work and feeling the pain of it all! So today's plan is: - porridge with honey - rice and tuna for lunch - beans on toast for dinner - fruit for snacks - 1 piece of chocolate or biscuit as a 'treat' after the gym Gotta get this done, it will feel so good to see a downward spiral...

Can I join? I'd love to see an 8lbs loss this month - Saturday weigh-ins, which is not too shabby. Thanks in advance, I do like a challenge :) Good luck to everyone!

Awwwww, Shez all the best birthdays are on 9 January!!! Still a bank holiday here but am resisting the lure of overeating, and am planning a nice sensible day today. Not mega strict but not overeating either. I'm hoping to lose all the Xmas weight by the time I rejoin SW on Saturday, so...

Day 3 and it's not going too badly. Easing myself slowly off the terrible foods, and I've been to the gym twice so feeling good about that to be honest. I've had moderate food, not exactly dieting but not overeating much either. My weight has come down with the pounds gained over the holidays...

New Year's Day with a hangover and I can safely say that this is going to be my best ever year! The weigh in is a mahoosive 263 lbs which I hope is artificially high. That said, my goal will take me to a nice 197 lbs which I really would like to be by the end of the year. No cheating, no...

I'm wary about writing here because I think the site might be pulled again. Not a reason to not write, but maybe share the content out on MFP as well? This is a mega-indulgent NYE right now, lots of booze and nibbles and getting ready for a party with family. Tomorrow could well be much...

Can't believe that this site is back up and running again - it's very timely for me to find it just before the new year, almost like it's meant to be! That fits with my determination to lose weight and this goal. I was 350lbs back in the day when I started in August 2010. I lose 155 lbs...

Had a not especially healthy lunch today – four pakoras (vegetarian), a skinny latte and some honeycomb yoghurt. Just that kind of can’t keep struggling kind of day. I think it’s about being tired and unprepared, which is annoying because I DID know that would happen. I struggle with not...

The weekend was a tough one - it really knocked me for six only losing a pound on Saturday, then we had guests all weekend. So I drank too much on Saturday, and we had a Chinese takeaway. Sigh. Sunday was better, I stuck to the plan more in that I had gnocchi when we were out and in the...

Saturday weigh-in and update: am I the first???? Lost a pound this morning - absolutely gutted, as I had stuck to the plan 100% all week, been to the gym three times, and really really tried. It feels incredibly dispiriting, and I wonder if I've screwed up my metabolism by losing 150 lbs a few...

Lost a pound this morning - absolutely gutted, as I had stuck to the plan 100% all week, been to the gym three times, and really really tried. It feels incredibly dispiriting, and I wonder if I've screwed up my metabolism by losing 150 lbs a few years ago. It just doesn't make sense that I'm...

Half way through the day and half way through the planned meals, and sticking to them religiously. That's good, but let me just do my weekend plan when I have guests: Saturday - Slimming World and weigh-in: celebratory coffee/cake afterwards - Lunch: sausage casserole (2 syns) and peas (F) -...

Okay, so here goes Friday!! The pre-plan for the day: - Magic porridge: Oats (HEX B), muller light (F), frozen cherries (F) - Fruit for snacks (SF) - Milk for teas/coffees (HEX A) - Pea / mint / ham soup for lunch (SF) - home made - Crackers x 3 (4.5 syns) - Skinny latte from pret (3 syns) -...

Just had a great workout at gym which feels fab. Tired now, still nervous that I'm not losing weight. And I have my holiday in two weeks time. Lot to think about. But the stew tonight was lovely x

I had a not bad day today - stuck to the plan so far, apart from having a cappuccino at lunchtime because I needed to get out of the office. But no snacks, no little extras. I've been rereading my own journal of how I originally lost 150lbs a while back, and it's inspired me and reminded me of...

I did it!!!!!!!!!!! I worked from home without any bingeing/overeating, so am really proud of myself for that. And I did quite a lot of cooking so that's good too. Well done :) On the downside, I'm panicking that SW isn't working for me this time. I've stuck to it 100% this week and I don't...

I had stew but in place of rice had three crackers, which are 4.5 syns. Feeling good and not deprived at all today, so that's very impressive. I wanted to get through the day without bingeing/overeating because I'm at home, and it's 2:30 and I'm doing well. Importantly, I feel like I've eaten...

Today is a bit of a challenge for me because I'm working from home and I have tendencies towards snacking / bingeing. BUT I have a plan: - weetabix x 2 (Hex B), frozen cherries (F), muller light (F) - fruit for snacks - stew (F), salad (F), 1/2 tub rice (F) - milk for coffee (HEX A) - Slimming...

Wow, that's some progress! Huge well done :) Yay, that's fab - half a stone is great! You can do it, absfabs! Just think how good it will be on Saturday to post a nice big loss here!

Oh yeah, I can see that frozen strawberries might not work!!!! Well, another good day, went to the gym this evening and have stuck to the plan I set earlier. So I think I'm on track today, the ready meal was I think 4.5 syns, taking me to about 11.5 syns today. Had a third of each meal being...

That's fantastic, well done :)

So yesterday was a good day on track, didn't over eat and stuck to the plan. Feeling great about that! Food plan today is: - magic porridge (oats - HEXB, muller light (F) and frozen cherries (F) ) - banana (F) - fruit as snack (F) - pea/mint/ham soup (F); 3 x crackers (4.5) - skinny latte from...

How did you get on Emma?

Adding in an Options Belgian Choc - butterscotch. I think this is 1.5 syns, certainly hope so anyway! Taking my syns up to 12.5. Probably need to dial back on something here, but hard to see where to make a cut! x

Lunchtime been and gone, and stuck to the plan - just popping out to buy some more shoes for the holiday coming up.And going to get a skinny latte from Pret which helps me through the afternoon! Am feeling quite strong just now, I wonder if it's getting back in the groove and not having sugar...

Lost two pounds on Saturday so that's taken me down to 18st9 - would love to leave this thread, no offence, but it will be sweet to get into the 17's again :)

Hope you enjoy it, Emma! Monday morning and feeling pretty good about the Slimming World way of eating. I think that I’m starting to lose weight, or at least I feel less bloaty. And it’s the weird thing, but once I start losing I feel motivated to carry on. So gotta keep going with this...

Just a quick update. I'ts been a very busy weekend, but I *think* that I've done pretty well. Yesterday we had a meal out and I had a grilled chicken salad, which was nice. Today at the hotel I had scrambled eggs and two sausages and then muller light and muesli. No lunch, and for dinner...

Thanks Emma - good luck tomorrow!!! Magic porridge is absolutely delicious, tastes like a Starbucks granola or something. Top tip is to get a cylinder tub, and layer the oats, fruit and yoghurt in small layers so it all mushes in nicely the next day. Summer fruit berries give it a real...

I lost two pound yesterday, I was secretly hoping for more but I'll take that! First step of a long journey.

Huge well done, that's really inspirational - yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super quick update for Week 1 - 2 lbs off, so that's me at 18st9. My total loss is back up to 89lbs Bit disappointed not to have lost more weight, but that's a result so am pleased with that.

Done a spectacularly healthy shop for the week ahead, and had a jacket potato with no butter, and loads of cottage cheese and a massive salad. Very nice, and great for a Friday night. Partner had his with loads and loads of cheese and butter, sigh. Ho hum, about to have a gin and slimline...

Nearly the weekend and cannot wait! Just having my last cup of tea at work, and hopefully will have a weekend where I don't blow it too much. Going out tomorrow night so that might be tricky, and staying over in a nearby city. I think it's going to be okay, because I'll have the weigh-in...

Half way through the day, and doing okay - had fruit this morning, then my pea/mint/ham home-made soup with three crackers, which was nice. And now a treat (Pret skinny latte) to get me through the afternoon without nibbling. I feel good, I wonder how much of my food addition/issues is down to...

I'm joining the Saturday weighers after a few years with the Sunday gang a while back (hello!). Started SW last week and was a shameful 18st11. I'm hoping for a loss tomorrow of even a pound to get me back into it, but we shall see. I seem to have eaten absolutely loads this week!

Horrified at being in the 18s (18st11) and thought it would be good incentive to be able to celebrate getting back under 18 in a few weeks (hopefully!).

Hi Emma, weigh-in tomorrow! Very nervous about it, because I think I might have put on weight eating so much this week lol. Ho hum. Good luck with yours! It's difficult to find time to do it all when you have a busy job, I think a lot of weight loss is really about time management! Good start...

Hi Emma, that is very similar to me, down to restarting the class again last weekend! I know, it's lovely falling in love and being with someone, but it's taken me off course. I find a different set of challenges to previously, like how to cook for us both, and how to go out and not stuff my...

Food plan for the rest of the day: - beef stew (slow cooked) = 0 syns - peas - 2 x Aunt Bessie's yorkies = 6 syns Then it's off to the gym, and probably coffee and an apple when I get back. Tomorrow: - magic porridge - home made pea and mint soup - 3 x crackers - fruit as a snack - Pret...

I'm quite liking having Joan as my picture - feel some affinity to her after my partner said she looked a bit like me, and not even the massive boobs, but the eyes. Hah, he's a winner. Not a bad day so far but then fell face first in crisps. Ho hum, keep at it instead of picking like a picky...

New diary to do this. I have rejoined SW classes after doing it on my own and losing 155 lbs in three years. I have met the love of my life and regained about 68lbs in total. So, back to what worked and kept me happy. I had a weigh-in last Saturday and the starting point is 18 11, or 263lbs...

1.6 lbs down - will be great to get the 100 lbs lost back at the weekend!

0.2 lbs down - is it worth recording? Lol it's still a loss and I'll take it :)

Lost 3 lbs this week which I'm pleased about, but I did go for it this week so that's kind of good. Two proper weeks in and I'm down 9.4 lbs woo hoo :)

Week three weigh-in and I've lost 6.4 lbs. Very pleased :)

Morning all - Sunday weigh in and I'm 6.4 lbs down, which is fantastic! Really pleased about this, feel very inspired to do better next week. It's a great feeling to be back on track :) I'm not doing classic slimming world, I'm doing 5:2 and sort of slimming world, which I think might work...

I'm up 4.8 lbs - I think I was being over optimistic last week, and also had a pretty big day/night out on Friday for my birthday. But had to log it didn't I?

It was my birthday yesterday, so am sure that I'm going to see a bit of an increase tomorrow. Never mind, that's to be expected. I'm trying something a little different, I'm actually experimenting with 5:2, and it is working well for me so far. I like the simplicity of it and the fact that it...

Lost 2.8 lbs today, which is good: Mandlegrot - 8lbs to lose (8lbs to go) SlimmingKitchen - 8lbs to lose (8lbs to go) Elanor - 7lbs to lose (7lbs to go) loopylaura11- 6lbs to lose (6lbs to go) Nazia80 - 10lbs (10lbs to go ) Zafira - 10lbs (10lbs to go ) Jo.B - 2lbs (scared with how many I've...

Hey BlueSmartie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember you! And OzzieMoz too - almost got the group going again! I've put on quite a bit of weight - about a third, I think. I lost 150lbs and have put on 50lbs in the last year and a half. Falling in love and life changes and all that. I'm here and...

Thanks Zafira! Lovely day here for once - sun is shining and I'm about to go out for some light shopping lol. Learned a valuable lesson and had a breakfast before going, a M&S yoghurt/granola. Not sure how *bad* that is, but compared to Christmas and New Year it's like health in a bottle...

Thanks Zafira, I do like making resolutions I must say!!! New year and new start and all that. Off work today, so that's been nice. Spent the day cleaning up and tidying and sorting, which felt very cleansing - getting ready for the new year? The Christmas tree and decorations are just down...

I'm joining this challenge as it's one of my resolutions for 2015: no fast food this year!

Definitely on for a January challenge! 8 lbs for me please, which will take me to 252 (hoping to get a whopping 10 lbs, but keeping it real!) Mandlegrot - 8lbs to lose (8lbs to go) SlimmingKitchen - 8lbs to lose (8lbs to go) Elanor - 7lbs to lose (7lbs to go) loopylaura11- 6lbs to lose (6lbs to...

New year, new set of resolutions: - do it now - lose 50 lbs - cherish the love of my life - save £10,500 - expert witness: be an awesome employee - go the gym 150 times - cycle 1000 km - climb 5000 fights of stairs - no fast food in 2015 - make the most of myself

Hi guys, bit of a false start, but I'm here and aiming for a fifty pounds loss this year - that's my resolution. It's definitely do-able and not too scary. I'm going to log here and also try to keep my journal going properly!

All going reasonably well, but I want to explore when I overeat, why, and what could I do differently. So yesterday, I had soup and oatcakes for lunch, and then there was leftover sandwiches from a catering event. I had half a roll and a packet of cheese and onion crisps. On the way home, my...

Fairly good week so far, I've gone to the gym and am eating reasonably well. Today I'm working from home and the plan is to have the following: - yoghurt and granola - fruit as a snack - omelette and toast - sweet and sour chicken made in the slow cooker for dinner Gym in the evening and...

Thank you so much! Big test today, am at a conference and this is going to be fairly demanding. I feel a but apprehensive to be honest. But life is full of these kinds of tests so let's give it a go.

Well, I've been posting! V quiet here - used to be jumping a couple of years ago :) welcome! How's it going?

I lost 3 lbs today, which means I more than meet this month's target, woo hoo: Mandlegrot - Target 8.5lbs, 2.5 lost 6lbs to go AmyElizabeth - Target 14lbs, 0lbs lost 14lbs to go Perwinkle - Target 14lbs, 11lbs lost 3lbs to go Polyanna - Target 10lbs, 0lbs lost 10lbs to go SJB - Target 10lbs...

Thank you so much Zafira, that's really nice of you - hope that you had a good week! Week 3 and I lost three pounds! So pleased, because now I'm 249.8, but more importantly that takes me back to over 100 lbs lost, which was an important milestone for me to regain, woo hoo!

Week 3 and I lost three pounds! So pleased, because now I'm 249.8, but more importantly that takes me back to over 100 lbs lost, which was an important milestone for me to regain, woo hoo!

Another good day - had yoghurt and granola and I'm sticking to fruit as a snack. For lunch I've had soup and a sandwich which is low calorie and delicious. I'm trying to avoid cake in the kitchen, and am reminding myself of all the various reasons why I don't actually *want* to eat sugar or...

Can't believe that no one else weighs in on a Sunday! I am determined to do my best and aim to lose two pounds by next Sunday. I can do this! I'm a bit rubbish at tracking food but will slowly get to goal. Weird to go back down to re lose weight previously lost but maybe that's the key thing...

Great day today - ate really well, walked my 11k steps, went to the gym. Had salmon and new potatoes for tea and no snacking. Small steps to big results. Each dash is made up of a million choices and life is not something that happens to me, it's something that I actively choose.

Monday morning and I'm feeling really good about myself - small steps to big goals. Remembering that weight loss is not one big effort but a series of tiny steps, it's about not stopping and keeping going rather than killing myself in the first instance. So by next Sunday I would love to see a...

Sunday weigh-in time - and I'm pleased that I'm FOUR POUNDS down!!!!!!!! :D That's really good - feels v positive and a total boost. Going to aim for another loss next Sunday, and ideally I'd like to be back at the 250 mark so I can reclaim that century badge. That's 2.8 lbs, which is...

Woo hoo, lost 4 lbs this week, yay :) Mandlegrot - Target 8.5lbs, 2.5 lost 6lbs to go AmyElizabeth - Target 14lbs, 0lbs lost 14lbs to go Perwinkle - Target 14lbs, 10.5lbs lost 3.5lbs to go Polyanna - Target 10lbs, 0lbs lost 10lbs to go SJB - Target 10lbs, 4.5lbs lost 4.5lbs to go CB- Target...

Mmm, soup sounds good! I had a good week - delighted to report that on this Sunday's weigh in I have lost FOUR pounds!!!!!!!!!! So pleased, really good boost and a good start. I was excited about updating my signature here as well :) How's your week been???

I've been rereading my journal on here when I first lost weight, and it's so helpful to me. I just tried and tried and tried, and I did achieve so much. But in those early days when I didn't know if I could even begin to do it, that was pretty brave actually. So that's something. Here I am...

Great day today. I stuck to good choices despite lunch out, and I had a good workout at the gym. So that feels pretty good. Weight down today to 253.8. My goal for the week was 253 I think - will see where I am on Sunday.

Pretty okay day today. Stuck to the planned meals, which involved soup and sandwich at lunchtime. Avoided work biscuits and didn't get a latte for the train home. Have planned peas and a ready meal from Sainsburys for dinner, which is not too bad. Bloke home soon from London, so that will...

Five children? Wow that must be a fabulous houseful! Good luck with your week too - we can do it :D

Had a great day yesterday - massive salad and a small amount of pasta yesterday, no more snacks. Then today have had a granola from M&S and a coffee, and I'm feeling prepared and ready. Weight has dropped a bit as well, down to 255.2, so that's good. I know that daily weighing is a bit much...

Wonder what happened to everyone on this thread? It used to be jumping back in the day :( Hopefully everyone is at goal weight and being superawesome!

Did so well all day, then the lovely bloke met me with a hot chocolate for the journey home. It was so nice, but gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, that's not how I put on weight, so no excuses of 'starting again'. It's focusing on a nice healthy meal of pasta and salad and then making a...

Shot back up to 258.6 this morning - not too worried after the weekend I've had, it will come down soon. Want to see a good three pounds loss next Sunday, so am aiming for a 253.2 lbs surprise. Love weighing in on Sundays, Monday always feels like a fresh start, it is a great day to be...

Oh god that sounds bad re the thyroid!!!!! Hope all went well. I'm trying to get routines back - falling in love and moving in with someone has been very nice but dreadful for weigh loss :) I'm trying to track what I eat and go to the gym. I used to have it down pat and now I struggle. But I...

Yes, lost over 150lbs with slimming world and regained over 50lbs - here I am trying to nip it in the bud!

Signed up for the October challenge, to lost 7lbs by the end of the month. I've also decided to go back to being a Sunday weigher as well. Feeling kind of lazy just now, and not really feeling it. I just want a cosy day in, but there is lots to be done. Had an omelette (mushrooms) for lunch...

I'd like to sign up for 7lbs please! I've lost 1.2 lbs today: Mandlegrot - Target 8.5lbs, 2.5 lost 6lbs to go AmyElizabeth - Target 14lbs, 0lbs lost 14lbs to go Perwinkle - Target 14lbs, 8.5lbs lost 5.5lbs to go Polyanna - Target 10lbs, 0lbs lost 10lbs to go SJB - Target 10lbs, 4.5lbs lost...

Hi guys, former Sunday weigher-inner coming back to the fold. Am reporting a loss of 1.2 lbs, but that's in half a week. Hoping for a better showing next Sunday :)

Saturday weigh ins for me. Down 1.2 lbs, but started mid week. Aiming to lose three pounds by next Saturday. I want to see 253.8 on the scale :)

Trying this out on ipad! Not too sure it will work. Anyway, girls have gone and same weight as yesterday. Got to be active!

Today is my official first weigh-in day, and I'm at 256.8 lbs, a loss of 1.2 lbs in two days. Not too bad I guess. Although not helped by the visitors and over indulgence generally. I can do this! Today am going to go for a couple of walks and go to the gym so that should help a bit anyway. Here...

I keep picking today, don't know why - suspect it's the wine kicking in from last night. So, got to get a grip and do a bit more planning and general overhaul.

Not a great start yesterday, my partner's daughter and girlfriend are up and I had a Chinese takeaway and wine last night. So hard to think of alternatives, and I know I should be stronger over the next few days. But I'm keeping going, weighing in and trying to be accountable! This morning I'm...

Thanks Likabu, I think Saturday mornings are going to work for me - we'll see anyway! So, today I'm down slightly to 256.8 lbs, which is probably fluctuation. I like a daily weigh-in, it kind of keeps a bit of a check on things for me. But only Saturday mornings count as the official ones...

Just what it says on the tin. I used to come to this site a lot for encouragement and support, and have been a bit bad for the last year and a half. I've regained about sixty pounds, falling in love and letting this slip. But here I am ready to shed the pounds and gain my freedom again from...

A lifetime (a year away) and three stones regained. Going to do much much better this time!!!

Morning guys!!! Lost another pound this week (week 149!) taking me down to 191.6 lbs, or 158.5 lbs in total. Perilously close to losing 160 lbs, which is mind blowing. I'm losing weight because I'm loved up at the moment, to be honest. But I'll take it!

Morning all! Week 148 and I've lost 2.5 lbs. Unbelievable to see the scales moving downwards again. I think it's a combination of summer, weights, eating well and being happy. Anyway, am down to 192.5 lbs this morning, which feels unbelievably low (for me). I'd like to see a loss of a pound...

Morning guys!!! Week 147 and I've lost 1.5 lbs - woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am so pleased, because I think the long plateau might be over. Well, at any rate - I've lost 155 lbs, over eleven stones, and I am still losing. Aiming for another 1.5 lbs next week, taking me down to...

Didn't update last week, but I put on about four pounds, and this week I have lost those four pounds. Sigh. BUT it's been an incredibly busy few weeks, and I've been out a lot, so I'm really pleased about where I am right now. I want to lose 2.5 lbs this week - come on!

Morning guys, I've not updated here for a couple of weeks because I've been away. Pleased to report that I lost a pound this week, but that has taken me back to where I was the last time I weighed in, of 196.5 lbs. Sigh. Still, that's a weight loss of 153.5 lbs, so I'm pleased with that. I'm...

Morning guys - well done on the losses!!! Pleased to say that I have lost 6 lbs this week. Last week's gain frightened the life out of me, because I didn't really understand it. This week I have gone back to basics and really watched everything I ate. I think my scales / fluids were out of...

So proud of myself today - I was at training all day, surrounded by food: bacon rolls, egg rolls, lunch of delicious bites, buffet full of even more delicious nibbles, cakes, pastries, sweets in every room. And I resisted all day. I had soup at 11:30 (home made pea and mint), I took a couple...

Thank you so much!!! Good day today: Porridge / banana / cinnamon Coffee Home made pea/mint soup / salad / ryvita x 1 2 x apples 1 x satsuma Chicken stir fry: chicken, stir fry sauce, stir fry, salad (no noodles) Natural low fat yoghurt 2 x glasses of white wine Went to the gym this morning...

Going to start using this journal again - almost a year later, and 150 lbs lighter. I need to track what I eat and make sure that I get to goal.

I'm a bit freaked out today, because I've apparently put on 6.5 lbs in the last two days. I don't honestly think that can be the case, and I think my scales might be broken (need new batteries) because I've been eating really well all week, I've been to the gym, and I absolutely cannot account...

Morning guys!!!! Happy Easter and all that :) Well, today's okay - I weigh in at 196.2 lbs, calling it 196 lbs (or 14 stones), and down 2 lbs from last week. That's okay, I can live with that, although it doesn't reflect the effort I've put in at the gym, grrrrrr!!!! Can't believe how long...

Morning all! Stayed the same, which is a bit of a relief - 198 lbs. This week was a bit hectic, and although I went to the gym every morning (five times!) I also had a huge night out on Thursday and ate and drank far far far too much. Pleased with this result :)

Morning all!!!! Bit annoyed, because I gave it everything this week, and only a 1 lb loss. Sigh. I went to the gym five times this week, and really really pushed myself. I've eaten fairly well, and I just hoped for a bit more. Never mind, another week another chance!! I'd like to see a two...

Thank you!!! That's so nice of you - huge well done on getting the 3.5 stone sticky!! You're doing fabulously well :) Thank you!!! It's been a long long long slog! Well done!! I think I've logged every single one of those 136 weeks here on this thread, good and bad! I would say hand on...

Morning guys! Well, despite being on holiday this week, I've lost 2 lbs this week, which is a relief after last week's gain. I am pleased with this result because: - I've not been eating that well - I've been off work (cue slightly out of control eating) - I've been to the gym again (five...

Well, no surprise, I put on 4 lbs this week. So frustrating, because I have been eating okay, but I've been recovering from being ill and so eating again, and also no exercise. I guess last week's loss was a false result, which I knew it was. I need to start tracking again, though, because...

Thanks Spanx!!! Well, I've now been diagnosed with tonsillitis, so feel terrible. No gym, off work, and generally unwell. So it's no surprise that I've lost another two pounds this week, taking me down to 197 lbs. Not too happy or surprised, because I've not been eating anything other than...

Morning guys! I've been away the last two weekends, and sick all week. Blech! SO no gym and nothing like that. But I am down 2.5 lbs from where I was on Monday morning, so I'll take it. Still bobbing around at the 200lbs mark (199 lbs this morning), and am determined to start seeing regular...

Weighing in a bit late this week, because I've been away to a school reunion!! It's been fun, but also I have been upset by meeting the ex. Anyway, am down six pounds this week, taking me to 197 lbs, which is great. Love being firmly back in Wonderland again!

Gah, put on 2 lbs this week, which SUCKS. I know exactly why I did - I was away at a conference for two days, and the dinner was an Indian banquet. I totally and utterly overdid it, by just eating so many of the starters on the table (pakora, bhajis etc), and then the curries. I mean I ate...

Happy Wednesday! Just off to the gym, and eating is spot on this week - hoping to see the scales move on Sunday :)

Morning groovy people!!! I've lost 1.5 lbs in week 129 of weight loss, which is not great. BUT, it's not been the easiest week with the quitting smoking and a bit of emotional upset. I'm doing okay though, and my mind is definitely back on track. Hard to explain, but the last few days has...

Morning guys, thank you all for the nice comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So encouraging :) I've not been smoking (again) for long, started again about two months ago when a relationship ended, but I took to it with gusto, and was back on about 15 a day. The other thing was, and it frightened me, how...

Well, shameful to report, I have gained 3lbs this week. That's not good, but I know why: - birthday on Wednesday, and two nights out - quitting smoking I have been to the gym five times this week, and about half the week I was eating well; the other three days I've been overeating. My...

Welcome back Spanx!!! I'll be cheering you on :)

God, today has been hard, but stuck to the plan - gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Want to see a big loss this week, so am determined. Just hungry and peckish and generally blech. Good luck everyone - just being here and keeping at it and being accountable is meaning that we WILL get to our goals. Rah...

Morning all!! Well, traditionally this is the week that I put on my Christmas weight (as I can see from the last couple of years) and this is no exception - 4.5 lbs up, sigh. Not happy about this, because I lost weight throughout December, but not surprised either. It takes me to 199.5 lbs...

You know, I hate seeing the scale go up on a daily basis while the last two weeks catch up on me, sigh. It's okay but it's kind of depressing. Never mind, have been at the gym every day, and I'm back to eating sensibly and not too much again. Hope you're all having a good day - day 3 of the...

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My goal this year is to lose 25 lbs, and get down to 170 lbs, 5 lbs below my goal weight. Not that tough on paper, but after 2.5 years it's going to be a long haul. What's your goal for this year?

Good morning!!! Well done for weighing in and staying accountable folks - that's what counts :) Well, despite it being a really bad day for weigh in, one week after Christmas, I have lost another 2 lbs. Taking me to 155 lbs lost in total, which seems increasingly unbelievable. I'm under 14...

Well, back to work today - I thought I'd put on loads of weight, but I'm down a pound or two, so that's good. And to be honest, am totally bored with over-eating for the last two days. It's funny, but whereas in years gone past I would love the Christmas stuffing, this year it leaves me kind...

Happy Christmas everyone! We've all done so well to keep at it, and while I'm going to eat a little bit too much today maybe, it's JUST ONE DAY, not the whole holidays! See you on Sunday to see the damage, *gulp* x

Morning guys!! Christmas weigh-in, and I'm down another two pounds, which is a bit of a miracle. But I've been going to the gym every morning and trying hard most of the time. Just got to avoid the chocolates etc. I guess next week will see a bit of a big bounce up, but right here, right...

Morning guys and well done to the losers! Bit of a milestone day, I've lost 3 lbs, taking me to 151 lbs lost, and now under 200 lbs. Wow, I feel like crying, this is such a huge achievement for me. It's been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong journey since I started, in August 2010. But I've...

Morning guys!!! Well, this week was pretty good with another 3.5 lbs gone. I've lost 10.5 stones now, and I'm feeling good. I've been going to the gym most mornings, and I feel completely different. Great, in fact. Love going to the gym, it's such a buzz - and it's changing my body shape so...

Lost half a pound this week - am annoyed because I've been to the gym every single morning this week. I thought it would be more, sigh. But maintained last week's big loss, so guess that's okay Have a happy weigh in folks.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning!!!! Well, this morning sees my biggest ever weight loss in a single week, in week 119 of weight loss. I have lost 6.5 lbs this week, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking me to a grand total of 145.5 lbs weight lost (hopefully forever!). So what did it? Two things, missed a couple of meals...

Gah!!!!!!!!!!!! Big gain this week of 4 lbs. Am sick to death of this plateau, although I suppose the good news is that I am keeping to a loss of around 140 lbs (ten stones). Still. Okay, I know why, and big big push to lose 15 lbs by the new year. I can do this!! And next week's aim is...

Morning everyone! Hope you liked the lie-in :) Well, good result today, lost a solid 2 lbs this morning. Am very pleased about this, it wasn't the best week in the world activity-wise, but that takes me solidly to 143 lbs lost. Feeling good about this, and good about my progress. I'd like...

Morning guys!! It's been a tough week personally, but have turned around last week's weight gain. I lost 3.5 lbs, taking me back to 141 lbs lost (that's ten stones, woo hoo!). I went to the gym four times, and really worked at it. I tracked everything I ate, I followed a meal plan, I had...

Bad result today - put on four pounds, sigh. I know exactly why: - bad eating all week - splitting up with boyfriend, so ate erratically all week, and had takeaways and chocolate - travelling at the weekend, so scoffing too much on train and at hotel - not enough good choices - not enough...

Morning guys - lost 2.5 lbs this week, taking me to a total of 141.5 lbs lost (over ten stones). Woo hoo! It's taken me 114 weeks to get to this point, am feeling good about myself, love getting to a new 'stone', it feels good. Just now going to have a big push up to Christmas to lose another...

Hi guys, Mixed week for me, but lost 2 lbs, so feeling okay about that. Looking forward to October and losing properly again - am sick of this plateau!!! Good luck everyone :)

A pound on, which is not too bad - it's been a dreadful week for overeating, and just feel blerugh. Good luck and well done everyone! :)

Hi guys, have been away and am writing from my phone, so a bit brief - 2 lbs on, sigh. Seems about right though! Good luck all Sunday weighers, you're a fab bunch :D

Morning all my lovely fellow Sunday weighers!!! Terrible week on the food front, but have been to the gym three times and walked a lot - so I've lost 1.5 lbs taking me to a grand total of 140 lbs gone, or 10 stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bit of a milestone, although I know that yesterday's terrible...

Hey Ozzie, beloved founder, welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good to see you h ere again, but I'm sorry you've had such a tough time. Hope you're feeling okay now, but it sounds as though you've got out of a bad situation. It's really good to see you here again, and I think...

Morning guys!! Well done Louise :) that's fantastic!! This is week 109 for me, and I'm pleased with a 3 lbs loss. Bit surprised too, because I've had friends here all week, and eaten out a lot. BUT I did try to be healthy, and I did my best. I also went to the gym four times this week. So...

Hey, you're here and sticking at it, and that's what counts!!! Some times you have weeks/months of not making much progress, but then you keep at it and it all pays off in the end - plus I reckon you'll be pleasantly surprised tomorrow! I know, I find weekends tough too - but I reckon you'll...

Morning guys - how's it going? I've been struggling this week, because I've had friends here all week and eaten out every day, sigh. But I've been to the gym four times, and doing my best, so am hopeful that I'll see a loss tomorrow.

Good morning! Missed last week's weigh in (boyfriend here), and I put on weight, I know. I've lost some of that weight, but I've still put on 1.5 lbs since my last weigh-in. Sucks. But this week am going to remain focused and lose a good amount this week.

I'm really really disappointed with this week's results - which is a 0.5lb gain. The reason I'm disappointed is because: - I've been to the gym 5 times this week - I've walked more than10,000 steps every single day - I've been eating spot on all week, very healthy It's not water weight. I am...

Morning all!!! I was going to write more this week, but time got away from me. Well done everyone, we are a small and select band of Sunday troopers, I'm so proud of us all - and congrats on being here for your two year anniversary Why_D, I am so inspired by your persistence and determination...

It's Week 104 and my two year anniversary - and I put on 5.5 lbs this week. What the heck? Well, I kind of know why, but here goes: - back on the pill, which might cause weight gain - going to the gym every night (I don't believe the muscle theory though) - a mad night out on Thursday when I...

Well done you! My target is probably too high as well, but will adjust later perhaps. I've heard kettle bells are amazing, and I love walking as well. Love the fact that you reward yourself with exercise gizmos and not food, go you!!!!!!!! New clothes (well, charity shop clothes) have...

Go for it Kimmie, let's keep this thread alive....:) Well, I'm approaching my two year anniversary this weekend. I've been going to Curves gym every night, walking 10k steps every day, and eating well. I'd love to lose 2.5 lbs this week to get me down to ten stones lost in two years, but...

Well done everyone!!!!!!!! That's terrific - but, where IS everyone? This thread used to be jumping, and now weigh-ins take up less than one page?? That's so sad...:(

It's been a good week for me - lots of walking plus I joined a gym (Curves) on Monday, and have been a few times. The aim is to go every night next week, it takes five minutes to walk there, thirty minutes work out, five minutes home. At the most, it's an hour per night, which is nice and...

It is more expensive. I try to eat simple unprocessed foods quite a lot (eggs, beans etc). Also 'eating the seasons' - eating whatever fruit/veg is in stock. The other thing I do is to cook a casserole/slow cooker meal at least once a week which will give me four or five helpings. I like a...

Walking was my chief form of exercise - I got a pedometer and aim to walk 10k steps every day. It's a lot and means for me about 80 minutes of walking. Would recommend that for people who have a lot of weight to lose as a starting point, because it also makes you feel better being out and...

You're doing incredibly well to have lost 3 stones in half a year - that's astonishing!!! My goodness, take a sense of pride and achievement in what you've done :) My feeling / experience is that slow steady weight loss tends to stay off -so weeks where you stay the same or gain slightly is...

That's an amazing run - no gains since March? Wowser, you're doing better than I have ever done!!! And that's the smallest gain ever, you're doing so well! That's a good result, Why_D - you just keep plugging away, you're doing so well. High five!! Woo hoo, great result...

Well done Kwise!!!!!! That's fabulous, a 3 lbs loss - am so proud of you!

Morning all!!! Week 102 of losing weight, and I've lost 2.5 lbs this morning, so am very pleased about that. I'm now under 15 1/2 stones, and officially have lost 9 1/2 stones. Good feeling, and I walked so much yesterday. I'm on a private challenge of a sixty day count down (till the end of...

I started at 25 stones nearly two years ago, and now I've lost about 9 stones. Slowly, steadily - making real changes and not rushing it. I'm feeling good about my progress. I set myself small goals, like aiming for 2 lbs a week. I also weigh in every day now and log it on my calendar, which...

Hi all, sorry not to have been around for a few weeks - I moved, then I was away for work, and yesterday I had to move everything because I came two inches from being flooded - all very exciting! So I lost loads, put on a bit. This week I lost 4.5 lbs, which takes me to 218 lbs, and 132 lbs...

Quick weigh-in today, just moved house, but still have scales! Lost 2.5 lbs, taking me to over 9.5 stones lost - woo hoo!! Well done and good luck to everyone....:)

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have successfully moved - yay! Unbelievably tiring and stressful for a couple of days, but loving it now. And I have lost so much weight in three days, lol. Hefting around so many boxes will do that....:)

Good morning! Hectic hectic week - am moving tomorrow, so have been packing all weekend. Still left the scales out though! Good news is a stay the same result for this week, so am very pleased about that. I thought I would have put on a few pounds due to the takeaways etc. Probably will show...

Well done guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! So pleased for you and proud of you! This is week 96, and have lost a tiny half pound, but I'll take it. I feel I've worked so hard, but I'm moving and at least twice I've had a takeaway because of stress/work, which is not good. So I'm okay about the loss, and at...

It does sound like you're retaining water in this heat - and well done on a STS, that's pretty good! I've got today planned: - porridge - sweet potato and baked beans (and salad) - prawn stir fry (and salad) And loads of fruit through the day - so hopefully a good day. I made a few bad...

It's great - the hot weather makes me less hungry!!!! Woo hoo, am drinking a large glass of squash and have walked 7k steps already. Good start to the week. I'm going to try and lose 2 lbs this week to get me to 9 1/2 stones lost. So I might post a lot here for inspiration :)

Well done Bunnylovesalan and MLouiseH, you're doing so well!!! Am very pleased - week 95 and I've lost 2.5 lbs, taking me to 219 lbs (and 131 lbs in total lost). Woo hoo! I feel like I'm making great progress, but I've been working at it so hard. I'm feeling good about the downward progress...

Oh well done, that's a fantastic achievement!!! Good luck!!!! I've been a member of Slimming World online since I started - I bought a year's membership this time, so it's not too bad. The main thing is gives me is the weighing in once a week, which I do without fail (as well as here, and...

Yay!!! Definitely a NSV - well done you :)

Oh huge well done, that's fantastic - congrats! When do you start?

Hey Kwise!!! I'm not that controlled - I just really really really want to get to goal, lol. You can do it, I know you can!!! Thank you, that's so nice of you! It's good for me to see progress too at this stage - I think I'm having a lot of success just now because I've set myself a mini 75...

Sorry, not been around barely at all these days. So much going on with work, home and love. But weight and losing thereof remains my number one priority, so will need to look at this. Anyway, week 94 - week bloomin' 94!!!! - and I've lost 3.5 lbs. I'm doing so well, and it's because I'm...

Morning all, this has been a good week - I've lost 3.5 lbs in week 94's weigh in! Woo hoo. Takes me to 128.5 lbs lost, and I'm feeling good about picking up the pace again. Good luck to everyone this morning, I know you guys can do it :)

Good morning - couldn't sleep so got up and weighed in! I've lost 1.5 lbs this week, taking me to a total loss of 125 lbs. I'm really pleased about this, I feel terrific about the count down, although I've got a lot on my mind. I want to lose at least another 10 lbs in the next 6 weeks -...

I’ve got a difficult week this week, and here I am at 6 am on Monday morning telling myself that weight loss is my most important goal. It’s not just the top goal, it’s ahead by a million miles. I will not lose ground, I will not cede any of these 123.5 lbs this week, I will get to 125 lbs lost...

Well done lovely Spanx, and thanks for the mention!!! I can't believe how long I've been here, and although I haven't lost so much this last few months, I've lost 10 lbs since the start of the year - got to be good, huh?! Well done on your journey, you're such an inspiration to me, I love seeing...

Good morning all! Sorry not to have been around for the last fortnight. Hope everyone is well and focused! So this is weigh in 92, and I've lost 2.5 lbs, taking me to 123.5 lbs lost in total. 2.5 lbs to take me to 9 stones lost. Good solid result this week, which has pleased me hugely. I'm...

Good day yesterday, and I ate very well. I also walked all the way to work and home, so that was really pushing myself. I feel good about myself. I did see myself sideways in a VC, which was much less than flattering, sigh. But generally I felt that I was sticking to it.I want fast results...

I am a bit deflated by Sunday's result, but nonetheless I feel good about myself. I had a day of absolutely spot on eating (I'm in the zone for sure, have been for the last four weeks), and I walked to and from work, so 12,303 steps and 99 minutes of continuous walking. I feel like I'm giving...

Good morning! Well done to everyone who's weighed in this week, good luck to everyone who's still to weigh in. Okay, this week is my biggest ever weight loss: I've lost 7 lbs!!! Which takes me to 9 stones lost (126.5 lbs in total). I knew it was going to be a huge loss - I've tracked...

Happy birthday DextersMum!!! Hope you have a lovely day, well done on the weigh in, you're doing fab :)

Good morning!!!!!! Hope everyone is doing okay? Am pleased that this morning's weigh in is a loss of 2.5 lbs. Takes me to 8 1/2 stones lost, and close to the 120lbs lost target. And makes up for the recent gains. Good luck to everyone who's about to weigh in, and well done to all the early...

Awwww Why_D, bet it won't be that bad!! It's only Thursday morning, just about half way through - you can have a fab second half! Yeah, I get stuck in a rut too, really helps when I can find some new food to cook! Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing okay this week, it's been kind of hard after the...

I hate having weight in stones - I much preferred pounds!! It seemed less daunting that way, was a weigh of not sticking to the traditional amounts I've used in the past. Never mind. I'm not a huge fan of the new site either - I can't seem to navigate it at all well. Moan, moan, moan lol...

Good morning everyone! Sorry for not being around the last week, just felt really down. Anyway, good news - after a week of hard work am delighted to report that I've lost 4 lbs this week. So that's a bit better, and I hope to be posting regularly again this week. Well done to everyone for...

Am not entirely sure how this happened, but I've put on 7 lbs this week. Doesn't seem quite right to me, but there you go. Didn't want to hide it. So, guess it's going to be an intense week of weight loss coming up!

Another one with a stinky cold h ere!!! Dammit. Have had to take the day off work, feel rubbish. So much for loads of exercise etc. And all I really want is loads of soup (Heinz tomato) and thick white bread. And why do I feel so hungry even though I'm sick? Pah!!!! Lol. Hope everyone is...

I want to remember to read these entries when I struggle – maybe I should cut and paste them into a wee booklet? I just find it so joyous when a week suddenly gets easier. I’m into a weight loss groove this week, it’s not hard. Last week, every moment was a struggle just about. This week...

Not directly, but talking about my life with someone. I realised this - although my job can stress me out and seem super important, at the end of the day I probably will have moved on in five years time absolute max. On the other hand, my weight loss goal will be with me for life. It IS my...

Welcome back!!!!!!!! I love it that you're back, so good to 'see' you again - see, this thread hangs on to its members :D

Sounds like a good plan, Kyla!!!

I’m being tough on myself this week, because I want to see a good solid loss on Sunday. Remember, this is the most important goal for me – I want to lose weight more than anything. I want to get get to my goal weight, I want to maintain that weight loss, and this takes effort. So, this week...

It's just having a tough week - keeping a diary of everything I eat and really pushing myself on walking etc. I want to see a good loss this Sunday, and I think it's not a bad thing for me to really knuckle down and prioritise this. Am so longing to get to maintenance I can't tell you! Mainly...

Hi guys, Sorry it's late, but a 2.5 lbs loss, taking me back to 120 lbs loss. Woo hoo!!! Am having a bit of a boot camp week this week, really want to see a good loss on Sunday again, so will be super focused. Well done everyone!!!

The relief when it gets easier. It's just amazing. When I'm not struggling with losing weight, but feel energised and super happy. Partly because it's now my period so less hormonal. But gotta remember that it does get easier, it's not all struggle and hunger.

Happy Friday guys!!! Jacket potatoes sounds like a smart lunch, if you ask me! I'm still struggling, but posting here and writing helps. I'm struggling but overeating slightly on healthy options (eg a muller light yoghurt in the evening when I want something sweet, bananas etc). I want to see...

Hi guys, Sorry I've not been around much, that's all going to change this week. The bad news - I put on another 2.5 lbs, sigh. The good news - I got the job!!!!!!!!! So although I've had a rough two weeks weight-wise, I do know exactly why I've put on weight. I have been eating toast...
