Yes, Lebody, join us and take up some of Elfy fab suggestions. My calves are really tight today, uncomfortable when walking into town and especially when walking down stairs. Giving them a day to rest. If I'm not careful, I'll have to bulk up my hours and minutes with my everyday...

Okay, my Monday-Saturday hour a day faulted and I was a lazy girl Tuesday and did only 30 min yesterday. So today I sat on my bike and pedaled away for 138 minutes. I am pretty sure I have no a$$ anymore, but I am caught up now. Okay, 168 mins is.. 2 hours 48 min. I'll add 3 hours and...

Good luck Mandlegrot! See you and Missy in 13s :) x

Well, I got onto my wii fit this morning as I'm taking a break from WIs til the last week this month, and my wii fit said 13st13lbs. It's worth noting that my wii fit usually weighs me a pound heavier than SW scales, so yay! Good luck everyone, hope to see you all of you soon :) xx

It is a big jump! I am sure your use of S&S and CD will help you at the moment. I am sorry to read about your hard times, but agree and hope that you've had *that* defining moment. Good luck getting back on it, you can still see 14s this month xx

Okay, a new challenge. I see you're starting it from your 14/3 weigh in Jupiter... I weigh Tuesdays so not sure if I should start from 12/3 or 19/3, though 12/3 is the same week so... I will have already lost 4lbs in the first 2 weeks, I will aim for 15 again because I want to pump it up for...

14 stone 1/2 lbs this week. No chance I'm seeing y'all next week except to say good bye and good luck. 13s will see me at pre-pregnancy zone and a big difference from last Aprils 17 stone 10 lbs.

Had a complete erratic week this week, loads of socialising, 7 meals out and a night drinking, exercise was more than normal, depression bite me in the ass Saturday night and was a cloud until last evening (hopefully). Still lost 1 1/2 lbs. April's my month to shine. Flying to California end...

Gained 1.5, 14 Stone 4.5 lbs, but had a lovely minicruise away to Bruges this weekend with good food choices. Alcoholic hot drinks and wine are rarities I enjoyed, so all good and planned to erase this for next week!

Since last posting 4 weeks ago I have lost 7.5lbs with no gains, and have gotten my 3 stone award. Just thought I'd check in as Ive been more busy on public threads as there seems to be more support on those. I am on track for my target! :D xx Editted: I lost 3.5lbs today, just to add!

If I remember correctly, I was mirroring my weight with you before you had your blip. My Fitness Pal was allowing me 1400 too, but in the high 14s it put me to 1260 and now 1200 in low 14s. Doesn't sound as fun, that extra 200 can be a treat! I am glad to read you're back on it hun xx Thanks...

I lost 3.5lbs today, that's 3.5lbs from seeing a 13 on SW scales, yay! 14st3lbs. I joined this thread the last week in Jan and had hoped to be out by March, perhaps over zealous, but happy - minicruise to Bruges this weekend so hoping to be out in 2 weeks xx

I've been subscribed tot hi thread, I think it's a fab idea. I've not quite calculated what I'd do, the idea that I am in a hotel 2 nights a week away from my equipment was distracting, however, I think I am going to up my exercise and look forward to this challenge in April :)

Lost 3.5 lbs and got my 3stone award.

Well, I really struggled during February, but I started and ended the 6 week challenge with a decent number at least. Verdict: Goal: -15lbs W1: -3.5lbs W2: +1 W3: -1 W4: -1 W5: -2 W6: -3.5lbs Total: -10lbs Angela (6.0 lost) 13 pounds Amstewart002 (09.50 lost) 14 pounds Jupiterdrops85 (06.75...

I've managed to get around the vending machines/baking/etc at Uni by bringing loads of pack up (so weighted down with that and books!). Usually have loads of fruit on side, chopped pineapple, strawberries, tangerines etc to graze on. Last week I brought in Chick Pea Dahl in on Thursday as its...

Thank you! And I agree with everyone else, you must stay here and keep 14s on the mind :)

Lost 2lbs today, bringing me to 14st 6 1/2lbs. Yippee, closer to 13 than 15 now! lol :)

After a fantastic January full of 3 to 3 1/2lbs losses I just struggled this month with a 1lbs gain, then 2x 1lbs losses. I finally broke my February 1lbs barrier and lost 2lbs this week!

I had bad I digestion last week, when I put on 1 lbs. I'll be lucky to maintain this week. With 3 weeks of 3+ lbs weight losses I thought 15 was a good go for 6 weeks, didn't plan on falling off the wagon so much. Gonna keep my goal of 15 though I'll be lucky to keep my 2.5 loss after three...

Thought I'd add a quick update whilst I wait for a train. I gained 1lb this week, with three top excuses people use when they gain all applicable to me, but I don't excuses so focused on this next week. Started back at uni this week so no available food to graze on :)

Gain club too, 1lb, but considering the facts I'll take it and flip it back out of the ball field.

+1lbs this week, but due to illness/hospital this week I am okay with it. Plan on for this week! :) 14st.10.5lbs

I had a few days in cramps and radiating back pain until the point I went into to hospital for some tests - the pain was ugh, made myself through up a few times because I was worried that food was causing it and healthy food was very unappealing through it all. With all that in mind I am okay...

I didn't start until Thursday and today's the only day I've fallen short since.

Oh and it's just under £50, £49

You get 12 for the price of ten weeks. You can attend any group throughout :)

Hope next week is better for you Liz! I've updated the list with my loss now x Angela (00.00 lost) 13 pounds Anne-marie (00.00 lost) 14 pounds Haylesm (00.00 lost) 12 pounds Jupiterdrops85 (00.00 lost) 14 pounds Laura_Cook (00.00 lost) 18 pounds Liz (00.50 lost) 14 pounds Mrsebb (00.00...

Never argued it wasn't clear, however, I thought an example of academic research on the subject to help critique what everyone was calling poor journalism would be relevant because no matter how common sense something may seem, it's nice to know it is academically founded, especially with...

Look up Christakis's Network of Obesity article in google. This is a reflection on academically researched effects of how our social world affects our weight mindset and supports the use weight loss groups. Groups help drug addicts and alcoholics, too!

3.5lbs off today, got my 2 1/2 stone award and my first ever Slimmer of the Month award!!

I had my weigh in this morning, loss 3.5lbs bringing me down to 14st.9.5lbs, which is great as last week's 14.13 only just brought me into the 14s. Glad to be in the single digit side. Oh, and I also got SotM for January, yay!

Well, I lost 3.5lbs this morning. The SotW lost 4.5lbs, however, I did get SotM!! and my 2 1/2 stone award!! Very happy bunny today. :)

Well, night before weigh in... Reduced intake on Monday as usual. I went through my fitness pal to tally up my intake for the week and averaged 860kcals a day for this past week. Only exercised for 100 min though and still only showed a 1 lbs weight loss this morning. I usually drop an extra...

I weigh tomorrow and think I've done 2lbs, def no more than 3. Less than what I was aiming for but doubled referenced food on my fitness pal and calories were too low.

I'll join you ladies with the green tea challenge. Crazy busy today, so I will start today and begin to pack them with me when out for the day :) Looking forward to getting my tea on!

A bit confused with this week. I have been extra good, removed carbs from my diet (just for this week) as much as possible. I have felt more tired than normal because of this, but didn't this let scupper my plans. This morning I am only showing a 1 lbs loss and it's 5 days in. My highest...

Angela (00.00 lost) 13 pounds Liz (00.00 lost) 14 pounds sam_sutty (00.00 lost) 7 pounds Jupiterdrops85 (00.00 lost) 14 pounds Laura_Cook (00.00 lost) 18 pounds Haylesm (00.00 lost) 12 pounds Tylar (00.00 lost) 15 pounds

I'll join you guys, I'll copy and paste the list when on my laptop as I can't in my phone. I already said in another thread on Tuesday that Is like to drop a stone before March, as this challenge goes a week further I'll put my number as 15 :)

Well done in your decision to quit smoking and fingers crossed for you for your WI!

Agree. Think we all have "those" members. I do think some, ESP the older ladies or SAHMums use the meetings as a form of socialising - we have ppl who have their own conversation throughout image therapy. I had someone telling me about the new kit kat chunky bars they've tried and all their...

Welcome and good luck on the journey! I can relate to second guessing every snack, it's awful. The weighing thing too, to the point my partner confiscated my scales and that helped a lot until I remembered that my wii fit works as a scale :giggle: Sounds like it's all goin to plan and cannot...

I do think SW is good for those new to food optimising or who don't like the idea of calorie counting. I have yet to follow the plan, though have taken its theory, hints and recipes to aid my calorie counting. It sounds as if you have it worked out for yourself, you've accomplished your weight...

Having a crisis in myself, randomly teared up. Just a bunch of little things piling up. I feel trapped in my life. I think I am gonna take it easy today, stick to the food plan but allow myself a cry and recoup, clean my face and carry on.

Today has started well enough, 40 minutes on my Xtrainer down, and breakfast was as such: I put two triangles of laughing cow into my scrambled eggs, and ate all chunky bits of my tomato which I normally don't. I feel stuffed, esp. now that I have downed my luke-warm green tea. Still...

Welcome Elle and yay us!

Haha, still the same as you. I weighed 14st13kbs today.

Very honest - I don't know quite what to say to help though. I began to notice a repeated binging behaviour earlier 2012, with 17st10lbs showing in April. I joined SW in June knowing I had to do something, Half hearted, with decent losses matched with decent gains, by my first weigh in Oct I...

Didn't quite fast after breakfast yesterday, allowed myself a mint hifi, three thickesh slices of ham sandwich meat and a handful of grapes - early afternoon. Weighed in at group this morning, 3.5 loss, that was 15st2.5lbs down to 14st13lbs. So nice to see 14st again, havent seen that since I...

Hello all. Have yet to join one of these threads, until now that is, but it seems fitting to do so now as I lost 3.5 today and it brought me to 14st.13lbs. My goal is to be out of this thread by March!

Lost 3.5 lbs and got SOTW for the sixth time. Pleased with that.

Hi Rose, good luck this time around, you can do it!

Just read your entries and sounds like you're on plan, though sorry to read that you STS - these things are mystifying sometimes! Good luck with your journey!

Feeling a bit disheartened. I felt I was really on track this week. Went out for my partner's sister's 30th, had a preplanned meal, didn't quite finish it but not taking that into account my calorie intake (foodwise) was 1,041 calories. Sunday morning I totted up the alcohol I had drank. I...

Good Luck DD! Just read your diary and I am sure you'll get back on the wonderful pace you were on before Christmas! x

As a former McDonald's employee if 7+ years I can vouch that a small fry filled correctly is meant to be exactly half the size of a larger fry filled correctly. We ran out if large boxes once, went to check measurements and saw this. However, we had several complaints when we trued handing our...

Feeling optimistic. Been really in control this week. Yesterday I had to fast from 9:40 until 4pm for an x ray at the hospital (no gall stones so no idea what causes the horrendous abdominal pain that wakes me in the night!), so when I got home I was the most ravenous as I'd been all week...

This past week consisted of my divorce/birthday party. The cake was the biggest hurdle (well, that and playing "Never have I" with alcohol enthusiasts), it was very gorgeous, moist, light cream sandwiched thickly between its layers with proper thick American buttercream icing. I had more than...

I lost half a pound, happy with that after a huge party of cake, American sweets and alcohol driven games to celebrate my birthday/divorce. Chuffed and aiming for a big loss next week!

Woke up this morning with cramping this morning, which soon spread to my back and made my morning very unbearable and wet as I always immerse in a warm bath when these pains start. Last time was 10 days ago and was exceptional from all other episodes - I actually cried and called NHS direct...

I weighed in yesterday, lost 3 lbs. Was extra happy because it was my birthday Monday, and as I put on 2lbs over Christmas it meant I was -1lbs from my pre-Christmas weight. Roll on 2013, 7 Jan 2014 aka 30th birthday for target.

I must up my game when I'm worried, WI this morning and I lost 3 lbs over a week with New Years and birthday celebration. Quite happy about it. Will incorporate exercise back in this week, have already started by doing just dance with my daughters the past few days - Time Warp is good on the old...

Feeling a bit apathetic this week, which I suppose is better than destructive. I think it would be easier if I was getting out the house and joining my partner/kids for walks, but I'm stuck in doing an essay I got an extension on, topic: Obesity as an increasing health problem if the 21st...

Thank you tweekedgirl! I agree about needing the injection of calories every so often :) It feels good to be able to balance it better, to stop it days before weigh in rather than let it roll on too. Weigh in last week was after celebrations with friends pre-Xmas, and I maintained. I weighed...

So, I haven't logged in for just over a week. This past week was horrendous, I was so overwhelmed and stressed due to the end of semester work that had built up at uni. My mind wasn't focused, I went long periods without eatting, and when I did, I made choices without considering consequences...

Aww, I was the same with the PND, it's not a pretty state to be in, is it? Glad you're taking control now :)

Well, I did it, I lost the 1lbs needed for Club 10 - Yay! Was bittersweet because I fellow drinkers from last night gained, so it could have been better. Still a headache, chips going in actifry and tesco lighter sausaes in the grill for hangover cure!

I've been bad, very bad alcohol wise! I didn't have half my tomato soup, didn't touch the bread or butter, I ate my turkey, and half of the dressings, half my cheesecake as planned. I was topping up my vodka with some orange dilute to avoid fizz. But then I stayed out with two others. So...

Well, off I go to my SW group Xmas meal. Hoping to save a pic from this year to compare to next year when I'll have aimed to lose at least 5 more stone. This one below is me pondering whether to study or to party? hmm :)

Wonder how long after reaching twenty posts before you can get an avatar - I know I keep checking and I'm at 22 posts :)

Well, Christmas meal tonight and partner and I are going to F&Bs for lunch. He usually works 60+ hours p/w but has been using the last of his holidays for the past 8 days,, he goes back to the grindstone tomorrow. I have been really craving both the Louisiana and the Pepperjack Cheese sauces...

Very nice to see, well done! It is great to see someone at a similar starting point, and you look fab at 12stone! Amazing.

I really like my onesie... for playing dress up with the kids. I had the leopard and the bunny rabbit (with hoods and ears and puffball on bum) from Primark. My criticisms are obviously the toilet thing, which I completely agree with, and the other is that I have a long torso and walk around...

This thread has been a great help. I had heard the ladies at group mentioning green tea but never knew, fully, why until I read this. Thanks.

I have to agree with sculls. Sometimes I think I've set a goal that's too low for me personally, but then you read some of the stories and you can identify and see that at some point they, too, may have also felt the same, but they did it.

Woo, this helps a lot. We've just had a HH open where I live 10 days ago and we're planning to go try it out soon.

This was nice to read, appreciate the though!

5 years ago I worked at McDonalds and lost 3 1/2 stone over 3-4 months. We would get a free meal when we worked. I would allow myself one meal of whatever I craved, once a week. The other days, I would flip over the tray liner and see what was best for me. I would usually have a box of 6...

So many mistakes, tired and typing unsuccessfully on my phone. Apologies.

Last night I worked on my essay until 1am, which increased my propensity for snacking :/ I had an 86kcal bag of popped crisps and a pack of super mario jellies which were worth about 100 kcals. Frustrating when I'm working overtime and I'm mentally worn down. Think I was up to around 1500 by the...

Okay, put off the work I need to do for a bit longer. I read some threads on the forums here and wanted to share one of my responses: "I think it's natural to take the views of other into consideration, after all, our biggest measure of who we are is taken from the reactions of others. We can...

I think it's natural to take the views of other into consideration, after all, our biggest measure of who we are is taken from the reactions of others. We can feel good about ourselves all we like, but it's naturally to desire affirmation for our successes (though some are louder than others)...

Forgot to point out, I had cheesy scrambled eggs this morning, was such a nice change and treat without being overindulgent. Last night, after my chicken kebab in pitta bread, I also splurged and had a SW bakewell bar. These have been my latest treats :)

Breakfast this morning.... mmm, was nice. I held out until 10:30am and really enjoyed it, nearly three hours later and I'm still satisfied. Sooo very bored though, my essay writing had become mind-numbing. Worried about my SW groups Xmas meal out Monday, the night before our weigh in. Think...

I had my dinner as planned last night, it was lush! Today I packed the same lunch as yesterday for uni, though I didn't get through even half my fruit, so much calorie intake remains under 400 calories and I've been up for 16 hours. However, a chicken kebab is on order for tonight, no chips...

My breakfast/lunch today. I was up at 5:15, out at 6am, for a morning session at the library. This is my allowance for the day, including the coffee and water bottle shown and a bag of Morrisons NuMe popped crisps @ an extra 86 calories. Dinner is supposed to be prawn tikka massala, think I...

Well done on entering the 10 stones and getting a size 12 clothing item, you're doing fab!

Busy day travelling to both Leeds and Doncaster from the E Riding town I live in. Late morning start so once the kids had been dropped off at 8 and I'd finished a project for my work in Doncaster, I cooked two Tescos lighter sausages and a tin of chopped tomatoes in my actifry. I put this over...

I had my weigh in this morning. Before I stepped on the scales I asked the ladies not to tell me what it is I'd lost or gained. I'd been good most of the week but my anxiety was peaked from not having my scales to reassure me. I waited until my SW consultant got to my name in group where she...

After spending the majority of my twenties in the 16 stone mark, I stepped on the scales at the end of April this past spring and the scale said 17st10lbs! I knew I had to do something, and I noticed a friend from college was mentioning awards she was recieiving for losing weight on Facebook...

I saw your subject topic and thought, that's just 2lbs off what I set to lose; then I clicked into the thread and saw you weighed the same at your last weigh in :) Good luck and all the best!

Hi all, my name is Tylar. I joined SW in June last year and have been up and down, though have now had consistant losses since the beginning of October (with the exception of last week, went overboard celebrating Thanksgiving three times - I'm American resident in England!). Looking forward to...
