Bloody indian buffet!

The best thing to do is to increase your calories slowly, say 50 or 100 a week until you find the amount where you maintain your weight.

If I keep going this week 100% it will be my first week entirely within my weekly average calories! The amount over has lessened each week but this week it's on track, the treadmilling had helped a lot as it's given me a buffer zone although I try not to use my exercise calories as a rule. Still...

I second MyFitnessPal, it's really helped me! I'm also doing the 30 day shred DVD which is supposed to get fast results. Nothing wrong with a new outfit, new hairdo and maybe a makeover at a makeup stall a few days before too! I love the Mac makeup counter!

Also it's always the case that you don't see it in yourself! I bet you DO look different to other people!

Oh my god I'm so bad for this at the moment, I'm working shifts and nights a lot so I get to watch a lot of daytime TV. Every time I see someone get an extreme makeover or get made 10 years younger I start blimmin' tearing up or proper weeping!! :rolleyes: I wish someone would come and whisk me...

Couldn't stay away! Ha, 1.5lbs this week, very good considering I had a few bad days. Started treadmilling now!! 19lbs to go by Christmas!!! Congrats everyone!!

Awww! Ha. Back on track today!

OK so after yesterday's Chinese takeaway slip-up *ahem* today has been better! Stuck to plan, did some weights and half an hour on the treadmill, so unfit compared to last year when I was walking more regularly. Sweated buckets! Feeling slightly more positive!

It is a great programme, really simple. I've not lost as much as I wanted this first 3 weeks because I went from eating anything and everything I wanted to 1200 cals a day so I've had a few slip ups along the way but having food ready made at my fingertips has really helped. I just don't have...

I really know what you mean. I messed up and had a Chinese last night cos we had a friend round and we had to feed her and because we're doing Diet Chef we didn't have any ordinary food in the house, so we ordered takeaway! We should have found a way around it but I felt rude sitting there...

I lost 2 stones but put 1.5 back on :( now I'm trying again and I've got my gain down to 1 stones but it's such a costant struggle!

Will do! Using the phone app so will need to login on a Pc to see the sigs ! X

How long can I make it without cracking and weighing myself?? Aaargh! Going to do my measurements tomorrow before starting the 30 day shred though.

Thanks!! I think I'll have a look on Youtube too if anyone has any good links?

Beginning of December!

Yeah I always thought it sounded a bit gross and likely to pass on fungal infections and stuff at the least! Not to mention when I looked in at one of the places that does it at our local arndale there were dead fish on the bottom of some of the tanks! Eww!

I got a 20lb bell a while ago for my birthday and I haven't really used it yet, I just didn't know how to start! I love the idea of it though, it looks proper hardcore! Just need to work out how not to kill myself or put a window through! :eek:

What's a really good DVD to get? The kettleworx set looks way too expensive!

I'm trying to get into walking at least 40mins a day on my treadmill. I don't live in a very nice area so walking outside is better done when it's light nights. I wasn't sure how good it would be for weight loss but it seems to be working for other people!

Thanks! I'm so annoyed with myself that I am so obsessed with weighing. I want to leave it to at the most once a week if not less so that I can see bigger positive changes and not get so demotivated by bad days!

I am terrible for doing that when I go off plan, I'm restarting at the moment so it's easy to thnk that it's all gone to pot when you're in the early phases, but you've done so amazingly well so far! Clean fresh start and eyes on the prize!

I cheated a bit by watching the DVD first! Ha. I'm thinking of starting tonight. Just watching it it doesn't look THAT hard, I know I'll be singing a different tune 2 minutes into actually doing it though!

I reckon I could get everything looking nice and neat and 'minimalist' if I had about a 3x bigger house! Ha.

Demotivated day today :( got to get back on it. I can do this.

In some ways I've wasted the last 7 years avoiding friends and hiding in the house because of my weight. No more!

I'm kind to animals and let 6 of the little beggars rule my house!

I've got some good quotes to add in when I have the space!!

Feeling a bit demotivated and rubbish today because after a big meal yesterday and Friday I've out a couple of lbs back on. But got my 30 day shred DVD in the post yesterday so I need to get on it!

It's inspiring to see someone get back on track so successfully!

Naughty day today as we went to Toby Carvery, I recorded it all in MyFitnessPal though so I can try to offset it over the week. Realised today though that you can order a nice chicken salad so I think I'll do that instead I'd we go again. My new 30 Day Shred DVD arrived today too :S money where...

Going to move WI to the 1st of the month and stop obsessively weighing myself 6x a day! Also waiting for my 30 day shred and 10 minute solutions Blast Off Bellyfat DVD to be delivered! :D

Getting a bit scales obsessed which I really don't need to be if I'm being good so I'm going to just weigh myself on the 1st of the month for November and December and then just before Christmas, that way I won't drive myself mad with the little fluctuations. I'll check back here lots though!

Quick recap, got to my highest weight in July last year which was 17.8, went to Weightwatchers and by November I was down to 15.8, but then I stopped attending meetings because I was in the final year of my MA at uni and things got intense, managed to maintain the weightloss until Xmas but then...

Whoo! This should keep me on track! :)

I'm doing Diet Chef. I've done both lipotrim and CD in the past but as other people have said on here, for some people they only work the first time and I couldn't get back in the right frame of mind to do it again. Diet Chef is real food but it also takes away our excuse for having takeaways...

Hey! I'd like to join! My WI day is Tuesday already!! I'm 16.7ish now and I'd like to lose 24lbs by Jan 1st so say 21lbs by Christmas! That means I need to get to 14.10 by Christmas. I'll keep adding to this thread as I WI. X

I sometimes think when you feel like that it might be worth changing something like your eating plan or your exercise to make it fresh again. But looking at your weightloss you seem to have got past your rut, how DID you solve it?

My friend recommended the book to me but I've not been able to read it yet. I get the idea though and I think it's true for me too in some ways. Being very overweight has made me feel safer when I'm out and about, with the stupid (and I know completely false) idea that because I see myself as...

That's pretty brave kicking two addictions at once! But think how you'll feel to be thin and smokefree!!

Whoo! Just ordered the DVD off Amazon!!

I love looking at my progress graph in Myfitnesspal. I can't wait to adjust it whenever I lose anything!

Our scales are rubbish, in fact any that come into my house seem to go the same way, I think it's because uit's damp, so they say a slightly different weight every time you stand on them! I end up doing it 3 or 4 times and (the shame) picking the result I like the sound of best ;P

I had the Nell McAndrew one and I only managed to do the blinking warm-up!

Aww, don't think of it like that, if I get to my recommended weight for my height that'll be 9stones down from my highest (started at 17.8 and should be 8.8) but you have to look at it in manageable chunks. I know everyone says that and it seems impossible when all you can think about is the...

I'm not doing WW this time 'cos I haven't got time to go to meetings but what kept it working when I was doing it was honest tracking every day for everything I ate, just seeing it written down made me think twice before eating anything else. Also my leader was a bit of a scary headmistress, ha...

Good going! I hope I can be so motivated!

Hi Cat! You're me but about 2 weeks behind! I started at 17.2 (highest weight ever was 17.8 in July 2010 before losing 2st on Weighwatchers but then putting most of it back on while studying :() and now after 2 weeks I've lost about 8.5lbs and I'm down to 16.7ish (my scales are crap!). I'm only...

Lost 8lbs as of today which is day 15. Could have been a bit more at my weight but the first week was touch and go because I found it so hard adjusting from eating whatever I wanted before. Its a milestone too because I lost 2st with Weightwatchers just before Xmas 2011 and I'd put 22lbs of the...

I'm talking such amusements as wardrobe malfunctions, unfortunate wind *ahem* etc.!! Last year I lost 2 stones with weightwatchers getting from 17 8 to 15 8. I was a bit skint so I hadn't bought new clothes yet I was just tying the drawstring on my pants tighter. We went to the cinema and...

Wheww, just filled in my profile and realised I actually started about 12 days ago! Time flies when you're eating nice food! :)

Helloo, I joined over in the Dietchef bit because that's the plan I'm doing, and I MITTS!! But I thought it would be nice to chat to some ladies who also have a lot to lose like me, I've lost 6.5lbs this week and my goal is to get to 10stones which is a further loss of 93.5lbs but I may want to...

Just started on Dietchef 8 days ago and have a final goal of 10 stones which I'm trying to reach by June next year when we're booked on our first ever cruise with my partner's family! I have never been on a cruise or a beach holiday and want to enjoy it and go in the outdoor pool like...

Not so much a recipe but a nice addition, I mixed a tin of green lentils with the chicken tikka massala in a big dish after heating both up. I also put a spoonful of chilli powder in with the lentils and some salt and pepper, it adds 180 cals but really bulks out the meal as a good alternative...
