So glad you posted your weight lost. I too have had two really bad weeks and was just about to skip over this week when I show your post. When I jumped on the scales it wasn't quite the tragedy I was expecting, (but not good either:break_diet:) Thanks,now back on the wagon :wavey:

I sts the same this week but have not been focused at all. Must do better, well try to anyway!!

Need to read messages BEFORE I post them! Should read: Need to get my head in gear. But did have a great week. Sorry!

I sts this but need to get my head in but did have a great week !:giggle:

lost two this week so down to 12st 1.5 nearly there :character00115: must try hard next week

2lbs off for me this week. Am Delighted as I had a busy weekend (socialising:party0049:)...but I was good the rest of the week, honest :innocent0002:

Hello all. May I join this group? I have changed my weigh in day from monday to wednesday due to work. Looking forward to hearing from you all :wavey:

Thank you x

May I join this thread ladies? Was doing really way before the summer and got down to the 11 stone thread. Then I lost the plot. Really focused now so hoping to work my way back down, again!! So starting at 12st 4lb

Hello, May i join? I have put on nearly a stone over the summer and am struggling to get it off. Have really lost my focus and this would be a get way of getting back on the wagon. So will go for 20lbs and see how I get on. ally__pally (0 down 19 to go) Missjlouise (4.5lb down 23.5 to go)...

Oh Dear, have enjoyed the holidays more than I should have. Back with nose to the grind stone at 11st 8lbs :O

what a bummer:( But you are soooo close I am sure you will get there in the end:)

Hi Dreamslim Just come back from holiday so need to really get back into routine. I would really like to join you and work towards a goal. Will keep an eye on this tread to see what's happening.

Hi knimmykins2008 finished couch to 5k about month ago and did a 5k parkrun in liverpool in 33 mins was thrilled. Am now trying to improve time to under 30mins then might look at 10k after the summer. This time last year couldn't have run for 5 mins so really pleased. Have been looking at your...

2lb on for me this week but had a week away so not too bad really. Back in the zone now so hopefully working my way to the 10s again :)

2 lbs on last night so not too bad. It was lovely and sunny this morning and rain kept off long enough for my run so back on the wagon. Feeling much better now :)

Hello All Just come back for holiday and not looking forward to weigh in tonight. Hay hoe Hoping to run tomorrow but looking at the forecast may go to the gym and run on the treadmill :(

It gets easier Honest!

After putting on 2lbs last week and being gutted lost 6lbs this week Way-hay:) Now 11st 3.5 lbs. Not far now :shifter:

If you are doing bootcamps and running I wouldn't worry about the distance. I am sure if you have a good few days rest before you have a go at a 5k you will be fine :)

Hi Pepsi and Kimmykins! You've definitely done the hardest bit just by starting :) Keep with it and you will be fine. I have just started the W1D2 of the get a faster 5K for the third time in 2 weeks OMG this is it I am defo going to crack it this week. I just haven't been able to get my head...

You got ages to get to 5k. As long as you can run for 30mins you will be fine :)

Thats really though I know. Maybe just run for a bit longer at a steady pace. When is your 5K race?

Haven't run all week and boy did I feel it to day! Did do 30 mins :)

What a pity, maybe one may start soon

Have a look and see if there is a park run by you. When I went they were very supportive and even cheer you round the course, I think only the ones at the back but it did make me feel better! They run every week so can try to improve your time. Anyway, if you google parkrun you can have a...

Oh Dear, that doesn't sound very nice. Did you have a fall? Good luck with the treadmill- take it easy!

Just done the park run 5K :bliss: Haven't got official time yet but around 35mins I think. So Pleased. So will now try to get a bit faster and see if I can improve my time.

Go You !!!

lost 1.5 lbs this week, now weigh 11st 7.5lbs. Really chuffed slowly but steadily seem to be working my way through this thread. Was starting to lose motivation, think it was possibly the miserable weather.

Good luck:)

BTW have you been able to do any running?

I know it's a bit worrying. Not sure whether I will be able to run faster :( Anyway we will see just hope I don't embarrass myself. Will let you know how long it takes.

Week 8 day 2 Done Happy days :) Not sure whether it is anywhere near 5k so looking forward to park run on sat to check.

:superwoman:Have done week eight day one to the count down to discovery takeoff for background music to my couch to 5k. Really bizarre. Anyway chuffed at being able to run 30mins non stop.

That's life !

see you soon :)

haha good for you :bliss:

Sounds like a plan :)

Week 7 day 3 done and feeling good. Bring on week 8 :woohoo:

Haha half term is a killer for the old weight lose but it is nice to loosen the reins a little. Hopefully some lovely spring weather will help us stay focused :)

Evening all, weighed in at 11st 9lb put on half a pound, better than I was expecting, been on half term holidays. Hoping to have a better week this week ie not as much wine! Not as much fun I know!!

go for it Welshtigger

But you have done it well done:)

You can down load the running mate app to play over your own music. I have no idea what that entails but I have heard it referred to when I listen to the 5K podcast. I think there are others apps similar to this but this is the only name I know.

Ah-ah Catching us up Emsie!!

Been away for a couple of days and everyone seems to have been very busy! Well done all. Just finished week 7 day 2. The weather is definitely getting warmer way-hay!! Looking OK for week 8. I have registered with park run so I can see if I am running any where near 5K after I have done week 8.

Hello haven't clocked in for a little while. WI in the morning instead of evening and lost 1.5 lb to get to 11st 8.5lb. Hoping to keep this weight and not put on next week when back to normal class. We can only hope :)

1.5 off for me this week which is better than I was expecting. So nearly got to target :) Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (9lbs lost - 5.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (8 lbs lost - -3lbs to go) TARGET MET!! Chill11 -...

Oh migraines are awful :( hope your better now. Yeh sometimes my weeks covered 10 days?? doesn't matter, we get there in the end. The week eight on mine is just 30mins running. There is a week 7 supplementary that breaks it up a bit. Might do that and then look to get a bit quicker after week...

Ok thanks. Good luck with new job hope all goes well. I am really looking forward to some nice weather its been baltic here. I am sure it will be more pleasant running when it is a little brighter and warmer. We'll see

Hi welshtiger I think it is called running mate. I thought it was nine weeks but it is only eight. Totally confused. Anyway they also do a 10k plan. Thought I might try that. Have you done that kind of distance you seem to have been running for a while?

Week 7 day 1 done. Three 12 min runs with 3 min walks. Not too bad but I am now warn out !

Week 6 Day 3 done. Man definitely says leave an hour for week 7. Not sure whether to be excited or be dreading it. Will report back soon on progress (or lack of .....)

Good for you!

Me thinks I may change podcast :rolleyes:

1 lb off for me this week. Going in the right direction :) Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (6lbs lost - 8.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (4lbs lost - 1 lbs to go) Chill11 - 14lb (5lb lost-9lb to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0 lbs...

What a bummer, look after yourself :sigh:

W6D1 done not too bad. The man now tells me I need to leave an hour for week 7 ......:eek: Good luck vivahate watch out for those rabbit holes!!!!

i started out running at about 7.2 and stayed at that for ages. Gradually worked the speed up. Now I can comfortably run above 8 but that has only been in the past week or so. How is you running going? is it better going at a slower pace?

Have done W5D3 not too bad but I have done all my runs on the treadmill this week, I usually do at least one outside. But it has been soooo cold :gen125: Anyway bring on week 6 and i might try to run outside this week.

Well done :)

Well done x

I am on week five day 2 and for the first time i ran at 8 for the last run. Was made up. In the past i have run at around 7.4 to 7.7. Maybe you are right, try a bit of a slower pace and see how you feel. Good luck

I too am joining the "not had a good week club", but I did enjoy it. STS this week, will do better next week. MandyD is right lets not beat ourselves up if we take a bit longer to get to our target, the important thing is too get there in the end :)

Well done! stick with it you will be fine:)

OMG away for the weekend and lots seems to be happening. The fine weather will be here before we know it and it will be lovely to be able to run outside. Don't forget you can always repeat a week if you need to.

Week 5 day one done and dusted. Not as bad as I was expecting bring on day two:D

Sounds like a plan. Good for you! I have been cycling with a local women's group called cycle belles. There seems to be quite a few around the country. If you get the chance you should try it out they are very supportive of new comers.

It is disheartening when you don't get a good weight lose to reflect a week when you have been on plan. I am sure you will have a good lose soon :) Stick with it

I've just done Week 4 day 3 and that was so much better then earlier on in the week. I was nearly giving up on day 2!!!!

Upwards and onwards.... nearly there.

Evening, just weighed in under 12 stones so hoping I can join this group?

Evening:) 4lbs off for me this week. Happy days!! Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (4lbs lost - 10.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (3lbs lost - 2 lbs to go) Chill11 - 14lb (1lb lost-13lb to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0...

Good for you!

Maybe just not a good day! See what the next day is like you've been fine so far. If not, do week 4 again :superwoman:

Emsie I don't think there will be many days where the wind will be as hard to run against as today, so well done for running at all!! and bevhunter change is gradual so I am sure you will be able to do it X

Thanks for that Emsie, I think I just might give it a go :character00115:

I think this is the week 4 supplement 2. That's the one I did this morning. Very impressed:clap:

Did W4D2 not too bad but not sure whether I am up to the 8 min run in week 5. Will see how i get on with the third run this week, might do week 4 twice.

How windy is it today! Went out on my bike this morning and nearly got blown off :O Hoping to run tomorrow if the weather is OK.

Excellent:happy036:

I think you are right there. I have only lost a couple of pounds in the past few weeks, however my clothes feel much looser now.

Oh dear hope you're better soon.:wave_cry: There are some horrible bugs around look after yourselfx

Have just done W4D1. Not easy and if that man on the podcast, telling me I only had "two mins more", had been in front of me I think I would have knocked his lights out. But all is forgiven now as I got to the end. Roll on day 2!

Wondered where you were ?? Well done

Well done you :) I also prefer running outside. Someone suggested this website to me. I am not quite up running 5K in one go but maybe in the spring I might have a go. There is one not far from me. See what you think! parkrun events

OMG you're right. That's not long is it!:eek:

Got up early and ran W3D3 around the park this morning. It was sooooo cold. But all done now :) Feel really smug!

Everyone is doing so well. I have been ill for the last couple of days and spent the time in bed:( If its this nice tomorrow will try and run. Keep up the good work!

This from the woman who runs 9KPH!! I think you will be fine. You go for it:)

Did W3D2 and found it really hard. Think I am coming down with a cold and have lost my voice so putting it down to that!! Don't worry about week 3 its not as bad as I thought it was going to be, have a go if its no good just do week 2 again:whacky068:

That's a good idea.I have been meaning to do this but got round to it yet. I put on 1lb this week but wasn't too upset. We'll see how things go.

W3D1 done. Not as bad as I thought it would be :D

Asda also sell extra lean mince beef. 5% fat

Oh Pete, you are a gem,:happy096: thank you so much for all these lovely ideas.

Love the heart shaped egg:)

Don't get disheartened. Maybe do just two days each week of Week til you feel you can move onto W2. I am aching in places I had long forgotten about and hoping it will get better in time. We live in hope!! Running hills is much more difficult then on the flat I am sure you would notice a...

I have lost 1lb this week. :) Not sure whetehr I should have copied the list with the red writing. Am sure if it is not right someone will be kind enough to correct it :wave_cry: Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (0lbs lost - 14.5lbs to go) BuzzyBee (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs...

I just had this for my tea! You are right it is lovely :)

Have just done W2D3 am going to bed for a well earned rest! I think we are all doing really well!!:talk017:

OMG thats really good. I usually run at about 7.5. Good for you!!!!:party0049:

I do find breakfast the hardest. I usually have either omelette with toms,onion and mushroom. Or kippers or baked pots and beans with onion and tom salad. I can eat anything in the morning I know its not everyones cup of tea.

Thanks V I've been so good today but am missing all the christmas treats. Note to self be strong:character00115:

I am so impressed! What a day to start well done you:character00180: I get the impression that there are lots of variations on the couch to 5k. They ultimately seem to have the same goal. Running 5k in 9 weeks. if that's what your plan is doing we are all aiming for the same thing.

We are having roast chicken too. Can see a trend here ? How do you make you gravy?

OH is sick on the couch so a taking the opportunity to clear the fridge ready to fill it with lots of nice fruit and veg. Anything with chocolate on is on its way out.:eatdrink051:

Good for you Mrs S :) I have just done W2D2. Not too bad but not sure how I will get on when I am back at work and everything is back to normal.:chores016:

Thanks Emsie Good idea about the veg. Sorry for being dense but what is bns ?:o

Having over indulged over the festive season I am going to do this success express starting Wed. Anyone care to join? Here is an over view from a leaflet I was given in class that was posted earlier this year. Step 1:- Have 3 meals a day. At each one, fill two thirds of your plate with...

9 Respect!!:happy036:

I know how you feel. Everyone else seems so fit and I always feel like an idiot BUT just stick you earphones in and go for it. I usually start at 6.5ish and run at about 7.2-7.5 its only for a couple of mins and as the time goes on you will find your rhythm. Let me know how you get on.

I have run on the treadmill. Your are only told when to run and when to walk so you can choose your own speed.

I started earlier this week and so far so good. I down loaded the music where you are told when to run and when to walk. Going to do day 3 either tomorrow or sat. I would be interested to know how you get on as it is easy to lose focus and keeping in touch with someone else would be really...

Good Morning and Happy Christmas:) I too need keep motivated. Will set a challenge of 10lbs but may change this after I have WI on Wed. Good luck to all Leia247 - 8lbs ( 0 lost - 8 lbs to go ) Mandy - 0lbs lost - 8 weeks to go Scorpiolady - 11lbs (0 lost - 11lbs to go) Tara40 - 12lbs...

2.5 (can't find the half button ?? my IT skills are shocking !!) I do believe that gets me to target with a bit to spare. Oh my halo is strangling me :angel09: Can I echo a big thank you to everyone involved in all the organising. I really couldn't have done it without you. Have a lovely...

Thank you so much. You are a gem.:thankyou: Have had a busy couple of days but am now back on the wagon. Have been filling up on lots of veg though. So we will see how things go. Helen x

Lots of people losing this week. Very impressed well done. I STS this week. So near yet so far. :break_diet:Maybe 2lbs next week

Good Afternoon all. Wi last night 1lb off ! Happy days :) For the ladies who are already missing summer fruit have you tried the frozen summer fruit. Not as cheap or as nice but it is an extra option.

Every one I know seems to have a horrid cold too. I had a day in bed too. Am feeling much better now, a week later. It's a bummer :sigh: But better now then christmas:rolleyes:

Oh Dear ! What are your plans for the night? Maybe if you keep yourself busy you may forget the munchies?

Happy Birthday :) Have a great day Trango! Those Yayger bombers are something else aren't they!

Thanks I will order it this week when I go :)

Oh dear! try to speak to your consultant next week. What kind of dinner would you like to have at work? You can usually work it out someway on the plan!

This is such a good idea Heather :) Asda are doing a fresh veg soup mix that you just add stock to. It is really lovely and so simple to do I have added lentils, tin tomatoes and what ever leftover veg I have.

Hi Is this a slimming world book? I can't find it on the site :sigh:

Thanks Sounds lovely am going to try this :o)

Sorry to hear about your Nan you keep strong and positive for her Take care x

Hi try grated potato. bake it as you would pastry. I really like it.

Hi try grated potato under your quiche. Baked it as you would pastry before putting in the egg mixture.

Well done on sorting out ticker:o) Not sure if I am doing the replying bit the right way!! Still some way to go and not just on the weight front but I am sure we will get there in the end!! Take care

Have just worked out how to put ticker on my signature:)

You are only right! What's happened to our Indian summer?

I have been so confused trying to work out how to post on the site and am now delighted I think I have worked out what to do. So have been with slimming world for about two months now and am the "i've lost a pound this week" Queen. That's ok as long as I can keep it up as my down fall is the...
