How's everyone doing today? I'm 100% so far... and planning on going to they gym again tonight. Still don't feel fully committed though and not sure why?.. maybe once my bodies used to being on plan my head will follow! x

How close to target are you? (I'm on the mm ap on my phone, can't see stats) I've not really thought about Target yet, seems too far away! Gonna try a weekly approach! Good luck for tomorrow! Keep us posted, it might help us all stay on wagon over the weekend : ) x

Hey, I'm the same with weekends. I think its a bit psychological tho. I work hard all week and kind of tell myself I deserve a treat at the weekend. Pretty stupid really when it just cancels out the good work! : ( x

Ok, so 1st 100% day for nearly 3 weeks today. Been to gym and done 35mins cardio. Feeling good! : ) Plan to start taking it one day at a time, but I know I've got a day out with friends on Friday and will be drinking, so kind of thinking what's the point might as well start Monday. I know...

Thank you hollys nan! Just have to stay in the zone now! I just wish I had the motivation I had a month ago... nothing has changed, the plan was working, I was really enjoying cooking, feeling better, getting compliments etc so why did I fall off?? And why is it so hard to get back on?!

Oh good I need some gentle shoving! : )

Hello, Im in the same boat - fell off the wagon after loasing 13lbs and really struggling to get back on at the moment! My problem is my social life - i just cant say no when everyone else is drinking or eating out - i need to learn some restraint. Anyway, i originally started doing EE and...

I eat a lot of fish. Fish really speeds up weight loss (have a look at the my fishy week thread) so have been doing fish weeks for the last few weeks.

They're in the cracker aisle in super market. In a biggish bag and they're like melba toast style cracker type things. I love em! You can have 3 for a he b, but u could have bread or ryvitas etc x

Sorry forgot to add, that breakfast might look a bit light but that's because I'm at work and a bit limited. Weekends would be a big old English breaky with Bacon, eggs, mushrooms etc ... : ) x

Hey Dab, I was exactly the same had done EE for ages and got in a bit of a rut but I was a bit scared to try red and green because I didn't fully understand it. I just did what welshcake advises and went through my books and did a weeks plan... so for example I do mainly red and a typical day...

I tried frozen fish for the first time today. Wouldnt say it was as good as fresh (although apparently most is frozen anyway?) But it was edible and sooo much cheaper. Will do for some quick mid week meals. I had frozen haddock cooked in foil with lemon juice, roasted veg and a tomato & balsamic...

Not sure you're meaning to be negative?! And I didn't take it to be so upon reading but I do think some people expect miracles when starting diets, the reality is slow/small losses are the the norm for a lot of people. As the saying goes 'slow and steady wins the race' (i think??) Maybe...

Ooh well done Feelina : ) day 3 buddies... glad you found it easier too! x

Day 3 done : ) first time I've made it all the way through too. V pleased with self! ... did substitute the bicycle crunches with regular once but at least I didn't just watch! X

Not sure whether its just the proportions of my tv, but I'm not sure i'd like to look like Natalie or Jillian. They're not very feminine?! Natalies thighs are huge! ... maybe I am just jealous! : (

Day 2 done! Still not managed 100% but better than yesterday! Really hope it gets easier!

I dont see anything wrong with keeping a diary - if its feasible for you to fit it in to your day (and lets be honest it takes 2 minutes) and it helps you stay focussed and on track then why not? I have a pretty little notebook (stationery geek :o) that i keep in my bag and update whenever i...

Wow Capricorn thats amazing! I will remember your 24.5cms when Im swearing at Jillian later! :) I've just had a look at the shock absorber on Amazon - reviews are good but a bit out of my budget this month - I'll wait for payday!

Def needed for the cardio section! I'm gonna have to invest in a new one. Anyone know where I can get a good but cheap one??

Day 1 done! ... nearly did it all except for a few jumping jacks (must buy better sports bra) and some ab work (must find yoga mat) Don't hurt too badly today, although can feel it a bit in the derriere : ) buns of steel here I come! Bring on day 2!

I totally chickened out after day 1, my thighs hurt so much for 4 days that the thought of one more squat made me cry! Back on it tonight - must be brave and think thin! Really need to get into it, everyone else is doing so well! X x

Hi fellow fish fans, Starting my 3rd fish week today after a horrific 10 days off plan. Going to give frozen fish a go this time as I find buying a weeks with of fresh fish a bit expensive! Really enjoyed the last fish week so am looking forward to a good week! Hope everyone else is too x x

Hi All, I am back in the room! : ) enough messing about now. Been off plan for 10 days and feeling rather wobbly and bloated : ( Back to basics from today, 100% week, gym, shred, fish the lot. I will get back on track. Thanks for the advice Gail, much appreciated! x x

I only did half of day one yesterday and my thighs are killing me today! It's good pain but I can sit down/stand up without yelping! Not quite sure how I'm going to manage day 2!

OMG jillian is trying to kill me! : (

I've been totally off plan since Thursday and really seem to have lost all motivation, so gonna do a practice shred tonight and hope it gives me the kick up the back side that I need!!

Are there any market research agencies in your area? I do one every few months and usually involves goin to researchers house with a group of about 5 people to answer questions on new product ideas etc, pays between £40-70 for a couple of hours

The shred has arrived!! :eek: Just been out for lunch and dont have any weights as yet ... excuses started already!!! will get on board tomorrow I promise

Hey all, Bit of a mixed week to report on. Last WI was Saturday and lost 2lbs (yay!!) meaning i was just 1lb away from my stone :) All went down hill after weigh in, as it usually does at the weekend (really need to sort this out) Got fully back on track by Monday and was 100% up until last...

Yes you definitely need to be proactive on this one. It's easier to do via email/messenger etc.... but you also have to be prepared to give up on lost causes and move onto the next date! You also have to be sensible and safe and follow all the rules, meet in a crowded place, don't give you...

I'd reply too, as Gem said you have nothing to lose. Internet dating can be quite impersonal in some ways so really don't take it personally. I did it last year, went on about 3 dates, before I met Mr. Right and now we live together : ) It definitely works, but its best not to get too...

I'm not doin fishy week this week, have done last 2... but have just tried seafood sticks and mackarel in preparation for next week.... am hoping they're an acquired taste?! Bluegh! : ( x x

Shred shipped! :D x

Ordered!! Along with Adele 21, will be very excited to get my presents through the post.... must buy tape measure x

Placing order momentarily! Can't wait to be 'shredded' : ) x

I think it depends on what surface you have it on, same with any scales. I use mine on wooden floor and its always 1lb out from when I weigh at boots. If you use it on carpet it won't be accurate. Also got to take battery life into consideration. Wouldn't recommend using it as your only scale...

Yeah, I did read some stuff about basa bein from polluted rivers etc but also read stuff about food standards in supermarkets, wouldn't sell it if it wasn't safe etc..... just depends who u want to believe I guess! But for cheap, tasty versatile fish I think its fine! x x

Hey there, I've been eating loads of basa lately. It's £2 for 2 fillets in Morrisons. It's quite plain so I grate some lemon zest and add black pepper loosely wrap in foil and put in oven for 15ish minutes. Tastes lovely and doesn't smell! : ) I think its sometimes called cobbler too. Have a...

2lbs off, fish week is working wonders as I had quite a bad weekend (again) Realise I won't get away with this much longer tho and really need to get back to 7 x 100% days! X

Forgot to update on Saturday 2lb off for me, can't update on phone, would anyone be so kind? Thanks x

You must get your wine from the same place as I do!! Great thread idea xx

After week one i lost 3lb, weigh in on saturday so will update with results of week 2, however, have run out of fish now (bit worried about goig back to meat actually!) so its not a full week this time. Was really happy with my 3lb loss last week tho! xx

Planning on buying this on Wednesday, fianlly pay day! What weights do you need?? Am i wrong to be excited?! Sure this will ware off once ive tried it! I will update on day 1 progress next week! xx

I enjoyed my fish week so much, I've carried on Monday - Rainbow trout with stir fried veg, made the mistake of pan frying it which was never a problem when i had a bigger kitchen, but now i live in an open plan flat and the smell is still hanging around :( yuck - would not reccomend unless...

Evening All, Not great at this posting everyday but going to aim for at least once a week. So, following my 3lb loss on Saturday, I stayed true to previous form of old and fell off the wagon BIG stylee! Started with OH 'treating' me to breakfast at our local - i could have said no, but...

Dont despair! all is not lost! I did the exact same thing last weekend. Went to my first football game with OH and spent the day drinking pints of lager, ate a pie at the game, drank more beer after, then got fish and chips on the way back to the hotel. Felt like a huge binge after having...

Hi There, Ive only just joined the site too, but started SW (again) in Jan. Very determined to make this the LAST TIME too! :) I joined mainly because ive got to this point before and then given up, and i really dont want to do that this time! I dont go to a group for a few reasons, main...

Thanks!! When is your weigh in? i dont have a local Iceland - but might try frozen fish from Morrisons, always think it wont taste as nice though?? Worth a try if it saves me some pennies though! Good luck for WI! xx

Can i join please?? Gonna go for 9lbs and lost 3 today so that leaves 6. Can someone add me please, not quite got the hang of things yet! Thanks xx

Hello, Im a saturday weigher - Lost 3lbs this week! :D Very Happy, in total lost 11lb since starting and i think if i remember rightly, thats the most ive ever lost before without giving up! Hope everyone else does well this week xx

Hey! I lost 3lb this week :D, totally put it down to Fishy week too as i had a really really bad weekend last week and didnt deserve to lose anything! But have been super good Mon-Sat and it paid off. Cant afford to do another full fish week until next week (weekly shop was a lot more than...

Hey all, Happy Weekend! I weighed in this morning - lost 3lb so am over the moon :D totally put t hat down to having a fish week, and working my be-hind off in the gym twice this week! Been a bit naughty since WI though, like I'm rewarding my weight loss with food - doenst make sense...

Thanks for replying! :) Good luck to both of you too! xx

Hey everyone, Am new round here... but not to SW - am about 10 weeks in now and 5 days into a fish week, though it would be a struggle and id get bored but im loving it!! :) Dont weigh in 'til saturday so will update with results then but i was definitely inspired by the OP from Snuggle...

Hi Guys, Thanks for stopping by - I've been reading diarys, posts, rants, recipes etc on here for a while now, but this is my first post. Hopefully wont bore you all too much! Have a very similar story to plenty of others that ive read on here. Always struggled with weight, started...
