After a big sulk with my STS last week, I've managed to turn around a 3.5lb loss this week - phew. Lots of time spent in the gym this week. Well done all and I'm sorry for sulking and staying away for the past 7 days. ;)

Hi Sue, I managed another 45 mins in the gym last night - treadmill and cross trainer :)

Not been logged on for a while - Sue could you please knock off 2h 45min? I did 1hr on Sunday, 20min run last night and 1hr 25mins in the gym tonight. Many thanks.

Morning all. 2 sessions at the gym (mostly cardio and a few weights) on Wed and Thurs. Can you please take 2hrs 20 mins off for me. Thank you

Morning all - My WI wasn't as good as I'd hoped, this is my first STS. Back to my loser type ways next week I think :)

Friday 16.03 WI Morning all, I lost 1.5lbs this week, little bit disappointed as I wanted to get under 200lbs. On the plus side though I am over 50% towards my goal now :D Hope everyone else keeps positive and ramps it up now to hit targets as we're getting closer to that Easter deadline.

Delfonics (It's actually 'The Delfonics' does this still count?)

Morning all, Ooo I'm hurting today. I don't usually use the treadmill at the gym as historically I have bad knees, but I decided to go for it last night and now I'm paying. 1hr 10mins please @Suespain (Treadmill 17mins; X-Trainer 43 Mins & Rowing 10 Mins)

Ahhh - I was going to use Amyz calcs as that means I've already hit my target ;)

Superb news Kev great milestone

Thanks for the support Rachel. I still feel I can pull something out of the bag for Friday, i'd certainly settle for a loss of any sort at this point. I'll be looking to see how you get on this week. Good luck

Morning all, I've made a mistake! :booboo: I've had a cracking few days since my weigh in on Friday, good healthy food and serious sweat inducing sessions at the gym, so this morning I thought I would have a mid-week WI just to check what good progress I've made..... 1 pound ON...

Morning all, I can see some great dedication. I have a couple of days to update. @suespain - can you please take 2hrs 10min from my total (Sunday 1hr spin class and x-trainer & Monday 1hr 10min x-trainer & rowing) Thanks.

Morning all, I have managed another 2lb loss. I've got to up my game a lot for the next 4 weigh ins if I'm going to hit target. Congratulations to all so far.

I got them from Amazon Omron BF511 Family Turquoise Body Composition Monitor: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty Overall quite happy with them, although they did show a body fat increase ast week so I like them a little less at the moment ;) They do other colours and price varies depending on...

@joflo2 & @lilprincessvic I may have misunderstood but remember if you're working out too, you could still be losing the weight and adding muscle. I was a bity gutted for a few weeks with my losses so I bought a set of fancy scales (BMI / Muscle% / Fat % etc) - - - i discovered that some...

Morning all - Did 70 mins in the gym last night (x trainer and treadmill) - I would have done more but they were closing. Can you please update @Suespain? BTW - Am I doing this correctly, or should we be updating the list ourselves?

Did some Exercise last night - 40 mins in gym :D

Morning all, weigh in was ok this week, exactly 2lbs off for me. Only 4lbs left to get to 200lbs (maybe next week!?!?!) :character00255:

Afternoon all. I'd like to join in please. Log me for 16 hours - thank you.

Well I did another hour at the gym last night weights / treadmill and rower. Not got anywhere close to the gym time I wanted this month but did have 2 weeks off with a bad back. Here is to March :) Ally87: 15 hours- 13 hours 15 minutes done (1h 45mins to go) Aymz: 10 hours - 10 hours done...

Just wanted to say what an ace thread this is, all the support being offered is so good. I read more than I post and am so impressed how much dedication people are showing. Rosielea is really supportive and doing the admin too, and it's also great to see Muis "likes" everything - makes me smile :D

Ok yesterday I had to do the family meal at a local pub, I was good, lots of veg and meat and only a couple of roasties. Then the dessert menu arrived - everyone had a dessert except for me, I even had the 'go on, one day won't hurt' crap. Are these comments helping me? NO!!! Anyway, all was...

OK sorry for messing it all up (I won't try and do it from thre phone next time). I think this is now correct (back to normal)??? :cry: ally87: 15 hours- 10 hours 45 minutes done (4h 15mins to go) Aymz: 10 hours - 8 hour 30 mins done (1h 30mins to go) blackwidow: 13 hours - 8 hours 20 mins...

Another loss for me too. 3.5 lbs this week. :) Great work all. Well done.

My back is good again so I've increased the exercise. I think it is a bit fruitless in relation to my target but I will keep trying until the end of the month. Gym again last night and another 75 minutes (very very tiring) session. ally87: 15 hours- 9 hours 30 minutes done (5h 30mins to...

I think I might miss the target LOL - anyway another 1hr 15min covered :) ally87: 15 hours- 9 hours 30 minutes done (5h 30mins to go) Aymz: 10 hours - 6 hour 30 mins done (3h 30mins to go) blackwidow: 13 hours - 8 hours 20 mins done BlondeGem: 15 hours - 5 hours 5mins done (9h 55mins to go)...

Thanks Rosielea - if ever I was sold on the saying 'slow and steady wins the race' it is this week :character00116:

Good morning all - 1lb loss for me this week :snoopyhouse:

Well done all so far. I've been laid up with a bad back for a week now so no exercise done since the first hour :( Still got an extra day to fit in those hours this year - 19 days to go :)

Morning all, I can see some losses -- hooray! I too have lost this week. 2 lbs to knock off please. I wanted more but not been to the gym for over a week due to a back injury, it appears having a poor rowing technique can really slow you down. Chiropractor thinks I should go back as soon as...

@floweryrosie I have lost 2.5 lbs this week if you could update the spreadsheet please. Sorry for the last minute update but I do my WI on a Fri morning. Thanks.

On Monday the boss walked around with the Quality Street when I was away from the desk, when I got back I had a purple one (hazelnut and caramel) on my keyboard Mmmmm. It is still on my desk staring at me, this is my resist every day. I have told my colleague that it will still be on the...

Fantastic weight loss. Welcome and good luck

Hi all thanks for the invite. Well I went to the gym last night so 1 hr down. :) Trimlee: 10 hours - 50 mins done BravingABikini: 12 hours - 20 mins done Kat1e: 20 hours - 1 hour 20 mins done Melcuma: 24 hours Aymz: 10 hours Samprand: 20 hours - 1 hour done BlondeGem: 15 hours Susie25: 10...

Thanks Samprand - will do

Thank you. Should I update the thread at a specific point each week?

The jaw injury sounds painful. Can you eat things like banana for carbs etc and soups maybe?

hey docmurphy, how are you getting on this week?

Hi vix5, I'm at work and the heating is on the fritz. I wish I was nice and warm in the M.E like you :)

Is it too late to join? I'd like to lose 25lbs by Easter.

Yes remember you are 21lbs lighter than before you started, you need to celebrate that. I'm no expert, but on these cold evenings going out to the gym is horrible.... until I'm in the gym, then I see others working hard and always feel better for going. The hardest part is getting up and...

I'll join with 20 hrs too :D 20hrs - 0 complete

You're doing the right thing with the exercise, congratulations, keep at it. I've had to take 4 days off exercise as I pulled my back, but I'm feeling much better today, so I have plans to go again tonight and I'm really looking forward to it :)

Congrats so far on the losses. Only way is down :)

Weight and image are such huge influences in the media and we're all testament to being able to use that media for the better here on Minimins. However, many people don't have the support forums and I think people form opinions and when they can't air their feelings or opinions they often use...

Well done for committing to so much exercise, one thing is for sure that you will be burning the calories by doing the exercise. The premise is simple, you need a calorie deficit by approx 3500 calories per week for approx 1 lb in fat loss. This last point is important as you will be losing...

It's great you have already demonstrated the strength of mind to lose the 3 stone so far. Good luck with the next stone. I've founds lots of advice here already so don't be afraid to post :)

I hope you like the shakes too! Great news you are here and starting something new :)

Sounds like you have immense will power when you really want it, congratulations on all the weight you have lost so far.

I am looking for a set of accurate Body Analyser Scales. Does anyone have any recommendations? Many thanks.

I'm not following a diet, but I too have cut down on bread. I had a teacake and banana for breakfast, this is pretty typical of the last few weeks. Then no more bread all day. I think this and my new exercise and healthy lunch / dinner are really helping. Not quite as bad as I thought either...

Hi all, this is what I have been looking for. I want to change my eating and exercise habits for the better and 'I' need to be in control not a book or a CD. It's going well so far and I feel a lot more energetic and focused. Congratulations to everyone joining here, I'm sure we can all come...

Great start btw. Good luck

Great progess, well done. I also have 50lbs to lose. 9 down, 3 week WI tomorrow morning :)

Thanks for your responses - I'm feeling full of energy right now. I am literally 2 minutes from logging off and driving to the gym (I'd walk but it's 40 miles away from work). How good does this site make you feel? It just oozes support and kindness. Thank you

@gettingfitat50 - thank you so much. Just what I wanted.

Hi all, New and signed up today. Firstly, wow some great posts and people, the success stories are wonderful. However, I'm not on a branded diet, I am doing it alone. Does anyone know if we have a forum for independent dieters and or male dieters? I notice the mods have discussed a male...

I've switched to 1% milk and have a splash of it in my coffee - I don't think it is doing me any harm. Hardest thing was cutting out the large Lattes from Costa! :) P.ss Mind you I'm not doing Slimming world, sorry if I butted in where I shouldn't have.

Wish I'd not read that! I'm at work and went for coffee and the conversation turned to unhealthy food, all we spoke about for 15 minutes was fast food and deep fried mars bars. Anyway, great to know I'm off to the gym at 730pm tonight and eaten healthy food all day

I was looking for a mens forum and fell accross this one. Well done on your weight loss, I'll be right with you (around 3 stone) in a few months. C'Mon! :-D

Yes you can, this 50 post thing will be easy now! :-D

Can you post under your own post and still be credited?

My friend got married in Cyprus (Paphos) and it was a beautiful place. I'm sure you will look stunning for your wedding

Great stuff so far, well done.

It looks from your stats that you're well on your way, size 14 fantastic! I'm sure a slight alteration in diet and a little exercise will kick start you again. I had to use the new hole on my belt today (3 week weigh in is on Friday) and it felt so great.

start all over

I think it is a great idea, taking on the responsibility of keeping another motivated and not wanting let someone down else is powerful.

Great news, double whammy

My wife thinks slimming world is great, she has had some good success with it. It starts here!

In summary, I ate too much and I exercised too little, but that is probably why many people are here. A couple of things shocked me so much that I decided that I wanted to become fit and healthy again... It is my responsibility as a father and a husband to make sure that I can contribute...
