I am starting slimming world again tomorrow and I will definitely be here but hopefully it will be a short stay before I swoop into the 12s!

I'm 12 stone 3 at the minute (start weight 12.11) would love to lose 3.5 tonight to get into the next stone bracket but really don't think it will happen-hopefully it will over the next two weeks though!

Oh my word I forgot this thread.this year has been a complete disaster for me weight wise,I think I have lost about two pounds all year (better than a gain I know but I should be a few stone down by now :-( ) feeling really low about my weight-I'm getting married next year and even that isn't...

Autumn500 - 42.5lbs (0lbs lost, 42.5lbs to go) Cat - 40lbs (0lbs lost, 40lbs to go) Hoz - 23lbs (0lbs lost, 23lbs to go) rushhooked - 90lbs (0lbs lost, 90lbs to go) ronniejacobs - 37lb (olb lost 37lb to go) Downsized - 145lb (65kg, 10st) Craftygirl - 50lb (0lb lost 50lbs to go) Girlsbig98 - 14lb...

Generally we just copy and paste the list and update it that way so people can do it themselves or ask someone else to do it,we tend to put the date on the top when we update so anyone coming behind knows they are using the most recent list if that makes sense!

Welcome and good luck!! Have you decided what you are going to do to lose weight-are you following a specific plan or just healthy eating?

Welcome! No need to be embarrassed if you have a lot to lose,we are all here to offer support whether is half a stone or ten stone you want to lose-the good thing is you have made the decision to make a change! Hopefully someone can come along and update he lost,I access on my phone so it's...

I agree I find The first few days pretty tough,I've been trying to make sensible choices lately but end up being starving and pigging out of bad food!not sure whether I need to get used to feeling a bit hungry orbqhetherbi just need to find more filling options

Well done Ryan!!!' I'm really really struggling at the minute and am continually gaining.i can't afford to wait until January first to start but I'm finding it so hard to get in the right frame of mind because I'm all or nothing-I'm either on plan or not,I'm not good at being good for a few day...

Oh tell me about it,I want to lose closer to three stone and I want it off now lol.tryibg my best to make 2016 the year where I don't rush myself and appreciate any loss at all (I guarantee I will be in this thread complaining when I 'only' lose a pound though lol.good luck with your goal!

I know the feeling,I lost a stone at the start of the year and have put it on and then a few more pounds so am currently the heaviest I have been in nearly ten years which is stressing me out big time.good luck with your goal!

Yes I find it hard too as I'm sort of all or nothing,I really need the structure of it all so having a day where I eat crap usually leads to loads of days of eating crap :-( what is slim and save?

Welcome! Good luck with your goal! Sometimes when my yearly goal is feeling too overwhelming I break it in a monthly goal and it feels a bit more doable! Hoz-I agree about sorting the damage out in the new year,I just hope it is minimal! I'm very loosely doing weightwatchers til the end of the...

Welcome hoz!! How are you all planning to deal with the festive period?i would like to stick to plan as often as I can but if something crops up then I will just get back on board afterwards.i would like to be a lot stricter diet wise after Christmas though!

I agree,every week I want to lose like five pounds and am genuinely disappointed when it doesn't happen lol

Yeah I struggle with fruit and veg myself,it's just not really my thing so I will juice it and chug it down but it's hard to eat it! That's nearly 1.5 stone that's great,as of now I have lost 0 pounds this year but I suppose at least I haven't put more on,hoping in the next few months to make a...

Woohoo! Good to see you,really hope I can actually make a dent in it this time,it's my 30th in May so would like a good chunk gone by then! What diet are you planning on doing Cat?

Can admin delete this thread I put it in the wrong place the correct one can be found in weight loss challenges Thanks!

Hiya,don't know if one of these has already been posted or not but I couldn't see one so thought I'd get the ball rolling! The past few years we have had thread where we posted our weight loss goals for the year and then we had a list that was updated whenever anyone had a weigh in. I found...

I made one in general weight loss,I have maybe put it in the wrong place lol Yes I put it in the wrong place it's in challenges now!!

Hi Joanne,good to see you again! I started a 2016 thread if you are interested! I have just got back on the wagon after a disastrous year weight wise so minis being back in action couldn't come soon enough lol

To be deleted,thread can be found in the challenge section

So glad you are back as I am the heaviest I have been in years and really missed the support from here!!

Very quiet in here lately!hope everyone is ok! Could someone update me to 15 pounds lost,26.5 to go please?

How have you been getting on upndown? I've been gaining and losing the same two pounds for weeks now,I need to get my head back in the game!

That's really good progress! I'm trying a fast day today and then I will probably have another one on Wednesday,once you get in the swing of 5:2 it's not too bad,I find it easier when I don't do them on consecutive days but I wish I could do that cos it would be nice to get them out of the way

That's brilliant,is that because of doing 5:2 for a week?do you weigh after a fast or normal day?

I think I'm going to do 5:2 in a few weeks as well,Jason vale (the guy who's juicing programmes I follow) has an app where you juice 2 days and eat normally the other five so I think I will give that a go-glad I'm not gaining but a bit bored of sts at the minute!

I've managed to more or less sts for a few weeks which is great but I'd really like to start losing again but can't seem to get my mojo back,every time I decide il be good,something crops up!

Ps could someone mark me up as 12.25 lost,30.25 to go? Lost a pound and a quarter this week,really chuffed as ive been trying to maintain,I think the fact I have more calories to play with means I have less need to binge Hope everyone is having a lovely Easter im so glad the weather is good!

Gorgeous! I love the colour of the stone,it's so pretty! Congratulations again,fab news :-)

Gorgeous weather there! Are we going to see a picture of the ring?

Awww that's so lovely,and the weather was really good today,hope you had a good day celebrating!

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Congratulations, were you expecting it or did it come out of the blue?

Be proud that you are going to the gym still! I find when I go off plan I think 'sod it' and my exercise goes out the window too so you should be proud about that! Is anything happening to make you want to eat fattening food? Maybe we can help

Hope today is a better day,it's really horrible working with awkward people :-( unfortunately I have no advice because in situations like that i comfort eat like there's no tomorrow-Id love to be one of those people who loses their appetite when they are stressed or anxious,I'd have been at goal...

Woooow! Well done you I bet you are over the moon! Goes to show how strange our bodies can be but like you said,good behaviour gets rewarded in the end,congrats!

Oh my word you are so talented,well done you! It looks amazing,she will be delighted!

Well done everyone lots of nice losses! I'm going to try and maintain my weight for a while as I don't feel in the zone at all.hopefully if I maintain for a bit il be able to get back onto some kind of plan.i weighed this morning and I sts so it's working so far!

Happy days thats a good start to a Monday! Very impressed with your chocolate still being unopened!

Can someone update me to 11 pounds lost and 31.5 to go? Started losing my gain which is good and im on target for roughly a pound a week so far this year so I am trying to take the positives where I can!

Fantastic! Well done you for persevering!

That's so lovely im glad you are happy in that job :-) I love Freddos and the thin dairy milks but I don't have the self control to not eat loads! Debating whether or not I should start a treat box in my house, we don't usually keep nice things as we can't be trusted!

Do you ever have 'cheat' meals that are planned or do you just take it as it comes ?

Welcome back! I went into self destruct too and put on half a stone but hopefully im back on it!

That sounds like a good way of going about it. I want to be able to have a normal meal with oh in the evening. Do you find that is working for you? I did my first day yesterday. I was over by about 55 calories but I'm not gonna beat myself up about that, I think il be happy if I can stay around...

That's fab cos you have been doing really well.do you find 1200-1300 easy to stick to or are you hungry?

Could someone change me to 8lb loss and 34.5 to go? Wasn't going to admit my large gain cos I thought it would come off quickly but it appears not!

Has anyone successfully lost weight through calorie counting? I think I might give it a go again and it means I can have juices as well as normal food and can have some treats too.just nervous because I have my fitness pal and its a brilliant app but I have found in the past that I have used it...

Why is it that when we get a bad result on the scale our immediate reaction is to eat food which is only going to make the scale say something even worse lol. I do that all the time.my scale is up half a stone after my two weeks of madness so I need to knuckle down but I don't want to lok

Bleugh having one of those days where I hate that I have to diet.i hate dieting I hate deprivation I hate exercising I hate the scale ruling my mood I just hate all of it. But I love the results so I suppose I need to just get on with it lol.

Hiya I hope it didn't offend you with that post I just know how easily doctors seem to dish those tablets out these days. My mum lost about four stone with the help of them and has kept that off for a good few years now I don't feel like I have willpower at the minute as I'm sitting eating a...

I don't know ur circumstances but please please please be careful with xenical and make sure you are being properly guided with it. I know it can help weight loss but it isn't necessarily going to help with the psychology behind overeating or binging, I hope it works for you and gives you the...

Well done on your loss im sure that has boosted your motivation!

Ooooo ive been soooo bingey lately.any ideas on how to snap out of it?ive not been feeling well this week and juices and healthy food just aren't cutting it but I don't want to get back into the binge cycle because it's not what I do anymore

That's fab cat are you happy with that?

That's great! Wish I could be bothered to do measurements I keep meaning to and then get lazy!

Yeah def need to focus on what I've lost which is just under a stone with the gain but hopefully il get it off in the next few weeks if I'm good lol. I think once your back in the swing of things with sw the weight will start coming off a lot easier

Well done for 100percent so far! Star week is so annoying mine is this week so hopefully I can shift the rest of my gain asap!

Welcome and congrats on your progress so far!

That's the only downside of going on a weightloss journey with a man,they seem to lose quicker/easier.he sounds fantastically supportive though which is amazing :-). I wanted to lose a pound a week too, I think I'm there but my gain might have knocked it off. I agree it's important to hold onto...

Very quiet here lately are people struggling or just having a life lol. I gained a chunk as I was binging.ive lost 2lbs of it but I have 2.25 left to lose to get back to where I was.im sooo behind schedule for where I wanted to be,so frustrated with myself!

You sound in the zone this week,me too! Last week was very bingey for me so drawing a line this week.good luck with hitting the mini target!

Some brilliant losses from people this week!

Well done that is a tiny gain considering you were being social!

Yeah when there is money involved and you have to weigh in front of someone it makes you take things a bit more seriously. Good luck with it!

The munchies lasted a few days but my mood has slumped big time so I think I need to calm it down a bit!

That's fantastic,well done you!

No bloating and being told your glowing are definitely pluses! Just wondering what you are defining as no sugar? Ive been eating a lot of junk the past few days and am feeling quite low now and am 95 percent sure it's due to the excess sugar so im thinking cutting down mightnt be a bad idea

I like walking and running when I can be bothered and Pilates as well.class wise ive only really tried kettlebells but I really enjoyed it

Good for you for rejoining and that 2.5 gain is very good for after a trip away!

How have you been finding it?are you seeing differences in your energy etc?id love to try something like that but don't think I'm brave enough!

Ive been quiet as ive been messing about.im maintaining which would be fab if I wanted to maintain lol.very hard to get a balance between eating like a 'normal' person and trying to diet.maybe I should accept that I can't do both at the same time? Feeling very bloated and uncomfortable...

The spag Bol last night turned out really good even tho my gas ran out on the cooker half way through lol.im goin with the flow for the time being but if it gets out of control il have to rein it in a wee bit! Meals are healthy it's the treats in between that are causing the problems!

Sorry about the gains guys,I know how disheartening it can be,think I may be joining you with a gain on Thursday,my appetite is out of control at the minute!

It was lovely but I had to get chocolate for afterwards Cos I didn't feel satisfied so that's lent out the window,but if I didn't eat chocolate is have eaten way more calories trying to find something to satisfy me

I bought a stodgy chicken and ham pie and some bubble and squeak so hoping that hits the spot!

Having one of those days where no matter what I eat I can't get full :-(

I found that when I didn't juice for s few days my mood got really low so I think it's one of those things that il have to do forever,not just juice obv but at least once a day. Glad you enjoyed London, and well done on the two good days! Are you looking forward to rejoining sw? Ive only ever...

It's been with a little bit of cooking,little bit of juicing and little bit of eating out.im going out for dinner tonight,really need to lose 2.5 per week for next two weeks to win one of my diet bets so need to crank it up a notch but trying to strike a balance between losing weight and living...

I was gonna change my weigh day to Monday but I'm going to stick to thursday.could someone update me to 15.75 lost, 26.75 to go? Thanks :-)

That's great go you! I'm giving up chocolate for lent,im not religious in the slightest but I could do with the challenge,although in saying that if really cut down my chocolate consumption so maybe it won't be so bad... Hope everyone's having a good week so far!

That's amazing go us!!

Could someone update me to 14lbs lost 28.5 to go please?

Yeah I agree about Monday,im changing my weigh day to a Monday for a while I think. I made a nice spaghetti squash boat last night with spinach tomato and goats cheese inside.no one has died yet so I think it went ok lol.i really want to try and get into batch cooking it would be so handy for...

I think we are getting on so well in this thread! I'm ever so slightly wobbling so I hope tomorrow is a clean slate and the scale can continue to go down!

at least you know where you can make some changes and cutting out a few treats here and there is easier than stopping yourself from eating like a complete madwoman lol

Can't believe people who do things like that,so upsetting! Well done on your sts :-)

Enjoy your time in London! Are you struggling to stick to a plan or are you working hard and not seeing results? You know you can do fantastic when you are in the zone,uve had brilliant results in the past!

I'm not very good at cooking as I always depended on oh for that cos he's really good so I'm really going to learn this year I think because it would make things waaaay easier.oh lost weight when we were juicing but he doesn't seem motivated at all now we have stopped which is a shame cos he was...

Well done toujours that's a great loss!

Yaaaaaay I was nervous for you cos star week is a killer!

Could someone update me to 13 lbs lost,29.5 to go? Gained 2pounds this week,ive lost my way a little bit.does anyone struggle when there oh has completely different eating habits?weve been having problems lately and I'm trying to get us to do more together but our eating habits/what works for...

Thanks! Can't get near the scales today so will weigh in tomorrow,really think itl be a sts or gain but il deal with it when it comes!

Im trying to just make sensible choices I don't want to juice all the time cos it was making me feel deprived.no idea what weight il be tomorrow,I think either a sts or slight gain but hopefully I can pull it up next week!

Nice to still see people joining! I have been a bit hit and miss this week and I really need to buck my ideas up for my diet bets!

Well done,that's great! After a few days of eating crap (and feeling tired,grumpy,unmotivated and lethargic as a result!) I am looking forward to getting back to juicing tomorrow! I have a goal of wanting to be 9st 9 by April 10th (lowest weight ive been before) and I hope the juicing gives me a...

Yay that's great,you are so in the zone,well done you!

Good luck with it!

Ive binged a wee bit the past couple of days and feel really crap for it so im glad to be getting back on the juice cos I feel a lot cleaner on it

Keep being good it will catch up with you eventually! Had a couple of days of overeating, going to juice again from Sunday til end of february

Thank you,I was really sensible with my eating,I have gained 0.25 lbs.i know this will sound like an excuse but I just started doing Pilates and have been very sore the past few days and apparently sore muscles hold water so I'm wondering if it's anything to do with that?im not even going to...

Ive been craving Pizza Hut lately but we don't have one near us anymore :-( I don't know if il be eating too horrifically but it will be later at night than I would like for the evening before weigh in!

Hehehe yes that might work! It's oh birthday today so I will probably eat crap and actually will gain tomorrow,I should have weighed today im so silly lol Won a diet bet and ive three more on the go so hoping I can win them!

You sound like you've got a good game plan of what you are going to do and I think that's half the battle.good luck with it!

That's the way I should be thinking,a pound a week would have me at goal by October,im just very impatient lol.enjoy your lunch and make sensible choices the rest of the time and hopefully it will all balance out!

I will really have to do that because what I'm doing is just self sabatage and I have images of me eating all round me on Thursday if the scales don't say what I want them to lol

Ive got it in my head that I really want 3.25 lbs off this week.i don't know why I do that to myself because it's completely unrealistic so if I do get a loss on Thursday im only going to be disappointed even though I should be happy

Yeah the dietbet is handy cos I don't like seeing pictures of myself but I have to take them for my weigh in and I can see the difference between the start of one and the end. Ive just joined another bet which starts on 8th feb.im trying to save money at the minute so it's making sense to throw...

That's fantastic well done you!

Yaaaay how exciting! I think I've to lose six and im very nervous about it! The bag of skittles Im sitting eating probably isn't going to help either lol,but hoping il get there!

Oop you sound so motivated! What is pb2? Ive seen it mentioned a lot

My thirty day one ends on wed and my second one starts tomorrow,I'm doing the blogilates diet bet,I do her Pilates videos from YouTube. Ideally I'd like to do a few more thirty day ones that kinda follow on from each other cos it makes you step up a bit when your money is at risk lol

I really wanted to do a transformer but they wanted credit card details and I don't have one :-(

Woohoo well done you for sticking at it during a plateau!!

Amaaaaazing! Bring on February! I'd love to lose 6.5 lbs in feb so that I can break into the 9 stone bracket but it will be a challenge!

Good on you! Scales can be your worst enemy if you aren't in a good mindset,ive lost count of how many days started well and then went downhill cos I jumped on the scale! Trying to be more laid back about it now but it takes practice

Oh my word that cake is phenomenal!

Dietbets are great aren't they? I've reached my 4% for one im currently in and ive just signed up for another one but I think that's gonna be harder to achieve so im nervous now!

Thank you! I had a full day of eating yesterday,breakfast was healthy,lunch was healthyish then dinner was dominos! Felt very ill after the pizza so won't be repeating that mistake again! I've joined a Dietbet where I have to lose six pounds in a month so I have to focus on healthier choices...

Could someone update me to 15.25 lost (27.25 to go) please? Lost .75 of a pound which would usually annoy me but I'm definitely gonna take it this week! (Although obv I would prefer a pound off lol)

awww thank you! I guess it's pretty good going,next week will perhaps be the real test since I will be eating more food plus I have some planned meals out but I think even if I sts or have a small gain for the next few weeks it should settle down soon enough so fingers crossed!

Had a sneaky weigh in this morning and I'm half pound up,though I did eat late last night.keeping my fingers crossed for a sts tomorrow now! I've been soooo much better in terms of using the scales,I used to be on them a good few times a day but now I generally weigh once a week,I only weighed...

Same here cat! Would have loved a few pounds off and I'm gonna be gutted with a sts or gain but I know it's coming!

That's fab cat! I think I'm looking at a sts/gain this week as ive started incorporating some food and exercise and even though I'm drinking plenty of water and green tea,I still feel bloated so I will just have to be brave and deal with whatever the scale says on Thursday!

I would agree with this,exercise seems to slow down progress on the scale for whatever reason which is a shame as it seems to stop people from exercising.i keep meaning to measure myself but I haven't got round to it,though I really should!

Well done you!!! Love when a loss gives you a boost to start the new week right :-)

It's amazing when you see it written like that!

That's fantastic well done you!

Yay well done that's great!

Woohoo! Well done you!

yes that's the attitude! I was discouraged yesterday and wanted to eat all round me but it's not going to help the situation

That was the diet that was appropriate for me too,I was tempted to do it again but I might just stick to eating and juicing.i have six days left of juicing and then I'm able to eat again,had two bad meals but that's not too bad since itl be 28 days altogether.im lucky that I have a lidl near me...

Well done you that's great! Is this your first time fasting?what made you decide to give it a go?

Aww thank you.i was so grumpy yesterday but then realised that my mood has been fantastic since I've been juicing so even if the weightloss has been slower than I would have liked,the effect on my mood has been well worth it! Were you expecting a sts?its hard to eat healthily in jan when it's...

Lost a pound this week.i ate pizza at the weekend which isn't ideal when you are juicing,but I think the low weight loss is more to do with it being star week.i know a pound is still a loss but I have hated juicing this week and really struggled so it's difficult when you don't see more...

I was on week 12 of couch to 10 k but I think I'm going to start back at week seven,then I can maybe skip a few weeks if my fitness comes back quicker than I thought.i enjoy running when I'm semi comfortable,my last few runs were a bit miserable but hopefully that will pass! Good on you...

Well done you! Sorry about your sts,I understand how frustrating it is not to get rewarded when you have worked hard for it and it's so easy to just throw in the towel,but good on you for sticking at it :-) I was two weeks away from completing couch to 10k but then stopped for two weeks at xmas...

It says I'm a constant craver and that intermittent fasting would work for me. I'm prpbs inclined to agree except I found the fast days very hard!

I heard people talking about that in work im going to go back and watch it on i player cos it sounded so interesting!

Update list 15.01.15 Joanne - pledged 56lbs - lost 4lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42.5lbs - lost 13.5lb (29 to go) CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 4.4lbs Jimbob12345 - pledged 50lbs - lost 7.5 Hoz - pledged 42lbs - lost 8lbs (34lbs to go) sarahslimming - pledged 30lbs - lost 3.5lbs (26.5 to go)...

Two pound Is really good :-) were you expecting more?

Woooohooo that's brilliant well done!

That's amaaaazing!!!!!!

That's what this thread is here for!!

Well done hoz,over half a stone lost!

Well done that's great!

Well done on the loss Ryan! I'm dreading weigh in on thurs!

I'm not really into cats but oh my word how cruel would you have to be to stop letting a pet in the house! Sounds like the wee cat got a lucky escape coming to live with you

ooooo getting a new pet is so exciting! We sort of jumped into getting our dog but I don't regret it for a second as im so in love with her!

Same! It's like 'ive been good for a week why can't I have lost two stone already' lol

Ooooo that dinner sounds so tasty!!!! I loooove chorizo and spinach!

Amazing!!!! Well done you,what a brilliant start!

I think it's a good idea making meals that last a few days,I have no problem eating the same thing two days in a row,plus it means less cooking which is always a bonus!

I reeeeally wanted a hot chocolate myself this morning but I resisted! I'm reducing my hours at work so will def have to start meal planning and being more organised so I'm not spending money stupidly.knowing what I'm having for dinner just makes life so much easier,much as I hate meal planning...

I feel like I need to make meal planning some sort of rule,I *know* it works but ive always found it a bit of a chore but really it's not to bad,it's my huffing and puffing the whole way through it that probably makes it worse lol

That's a fab idea for a motivator,especially those weeks where we 'only' lose a pound!

love it!!!

Yaaaay well done that is brilliant!

Well done!!!! So much easier when someone is doing it with you-my oh is doing my juicing with me and it makes a lot of difference!

I'm another one who feels really motivated this time round.i hope it's not just a January thing,I'm feeling great at the minute

Woohoo! Think it's fair to say we have all had a successful week! Hopefully the momentum carries on!

Well done Ryan!its great when you break into a new stone bracket isn't it?

Wooohhhooooo!!!! Bet that's given your confidence a boost!! I was doing so good with my couch 2 10k and stopped for 2 weeks over xmas and it was the biggest mistake ever!! My running fitness has gone way down so ive been put back a few weeks!

I don't do slimming world but could easily eat a couple of boxes of rocky road hifi bars!

Yay that's good! Sometimes it's worth jumping on the scales when you are in two minds as it can stop you eating bad

Good luck!

Yeah juicing is quite tough but I'm trying to reset my system so that I don't crave crap so much! Good luck for your weigh in!

Four pound gain really isn't too bad upndown! I would post the weight with the four pound gain as your start weight then take it from there.well done for sticking to plan!

Woohoo well done you that's great!!! Could some kind soul change my goal from 45 to 42.5 please?i find it so awkward to update on my phone! Well done losers and good luck to anyone who still needs to weigh in :-)

Camplestar that is a fab loss.were you expecting more? I sometimes expect to lose too much so will inevitably be disappointed when I don't get it,don't put too much pressure on your self,it's a really good start to the year

Aww thank you! Just hope I can keep it off and get more off! The losses are fab so far for everyone and long may it continue! I get excited about weighing as well! (Unless ive been bad and then I completely dread it lol)

Can someone put me down for 8.5 off please? (Big loss due to serious amount of crap eaten at Christmas plus doing a juice cleanse but if I can lose another half stone by the end of the month il be delighted!)

Woohoo we are off to flying starts in this thread!

Thanks up n down I will be using that line many times this year im sure! I'm trying to have the mindset of weight loss is weight loss and it's all good but it's frustrating when it's the same weight getting lost over and over!

Aww sorry you had to pay! Does that mean you have to lose ten pounds before you don't have to pay anymore? Fingers crossed you get there asap! I can confirm that the diet coke chicken is lovely!

As its a juice cleanse I would like seven off as after three days id lost 4.5 but my confidence is getting lower as the evening goes on lol-I hate weight loss at the minute because I have to lose nearly 2 stone before I get back to losing 'new' weight if that makes sense!

I weigh tomorrow too and am nervous/excited as well! I'm doing a juice cleanse so hoping for a big loss,though I know when it's over I will put a few pounds of that back on once there is food in my system but I'm prepared for that

Well done jimbob that's a brilliant start especially since you are going solo at the minute! I agree it's def easier when you have someone doing it with you!

Amaaaaaazing!!!! Well done you im sure you are delighted!!!! Will the 20lb you want to lose in the 2015 challenge take you to goal?

Yeah it's quite tough there are times im kicking myself for commiting to 28 days but my eating was getting way out of control so I'm trying to reset my taste buds a bit!

I'm doing ok,on day six of a 28 day juice detox so struggling a bit today but hopefully it will pass! Hope things are well with you :-)

Woohoo that's a good start!!!

What is slim and save I have heard it mentioned a few times?

There's always lots of support in these threads,I think the biggest thing to remember is to post when you aren't doing so well as well as when you are doing great,I would go awol when I was off plan and I think if I'd posted and made myself accountable then I wouldn't have got so off track

Ooo we are getting a nice wee list going now! Hope everyone is getting along well,what plans are you all doing? I'm juicing until 28th jan then I'm gonna try and just eat really healthy for another month or so before incorporating treats etc back into my diet

Thanks cat,fingers crossed we can make a dent in those numbers this year!

Oops can I change mine to 42.5 pounds please,weigh in this morning wasn't as bad as I expected lol

Woohoo this is what I'm looking for! Joanne -pledged-70lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500-pledged 45lbs-lost 0lbs

Same! Glad it's not just me lol!

I don't mind if it's not a continuation of this one im happy to join anything that will keep me accountable lol.good idea with changing the name of this one though but I think maybe only the thread starter can do that?

So sorry to hear about hubby's stepdad that is so sad at this time of year.hope you are all ok. I can't find the thread either? I have 45 pounds to lose (was 42 last year,disaster lol)

You should be so chuffed with sts? I've gone into binge eating overdrive! Actually starting to get excited for first jan to get stuck into a challenge lol

It had helped me greatly too, I probably would be a lot heavier otherwise! Think next year I need to post more often to make myself accountable!

At least ur being really good some of the time! I'm sure things would be worse if you were being bad all the time. I'm hoping to try and keep ten pounds off for this year so I start next year needing to lose 32 rather than 42 but we will see!

Yeah I think this time of the year is a complete nightmare for dieting as there's so much going on,I'm trying to enjoy the food when I am having it and then eating kind of sensibly on the days when I have nothing on,then il crack on in the new year hopefully!

Hi all,will we be having a 2015 weight loss thread?2014 has been a wee bit of a write off but I'm eager to get stuck in in 2015 (even though my weightloss goal will probably be the same amount as it was for 2014,doh lol) Hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected for this time of year lol

Can someone update me to 15 pounds lost please? Another .75 loss this week,moving so slowly! Another 2lb off and I'm lighter than I have been this year-not really what I was going for but il take the positives where I can find them lol

You sound like you are in the zone,long may it continue for you!

That's fab sounds like your running on track nicely!

That's fab well done you! Are you watching calories or portion sizes or just eating what you think is sensible?im trying to eat healthily and watching portion Sizes but losses have been slow :-( In a non scale victory I managed a 5k run yesterday! I did cheat a bit and chose a route where a lot...

I lost the same amount as you this week, 0.75lbs.frustrating as I tried hard this week,it's Totm and ive exercised more than normal so not sure if that's a factor or if I need to keep a tighter check on my food.im still juicing for breakfast and sometimes another meal and am just trying to make...

Hey a loss is a loss! Though I know how frustrating it is when u are trying hard! I was really hoping for two pounds off this week but sneaky peaks on the scale over the week show im looking at a sts or one pound loss,aaahhh lol

I'm doing ok,lost a pound this week which im pretty chuffed about since I'm quite bloated and this hasn't exactly been the healthiest week of my life lol.how are you? Seems like a lot of people are struggling at the minute,the weather definitely doesn't help the situation but I'd like to try...

Feel like I could have written that post! I'm not struggling as such,I'm just being lazy and not doing much but am quite content in my laziness,need to pull the finger out or il start gaining again though! I've got one week left of couch to five k so am proud that ive stuck to that at least...

I had got down to 10st 8 then had a week of eating crap which put me back up to 10st 11,oops!! But done 2 days of juicing so another 26 to go,I won't break it this time! (I hope lol) Well done you on ur 1.75 good days,I sometimes have to take each day an hour at a time just to make sure I don't...

Could someone update me to 12.5 please?hopefully it will be closer to 23 pounds by middle of November :-)

Sorry you have been struggling with things,you know you can do great when you are in the zone though :-)there's definitely some psychological thing that people must do when they are near goal-I was seven pounds from goal a few years ago then gained 2 stone,don't know what it's all about but it's...

Oh now,how come you are struggling? I've been doing well except for the past couple of days where ive had a bit of a blow out but I'm going to get back on the wagon tomorrow :-)

That's not too bad at all! Hope you are feeling more like yourself now :-) I was due to finish juicing next Friday but I've had a few days where ive been eating and they were the wrong foods and made me feel a bit miserable and bleugh so from tomorrow I am starting the 28 days without breaking...

Sorry your having a tough time at the minute :-( I think that's why I like juicing,vegetables I hate in solid form actually taste fine mixed with other things.ive realised through doing it that I'm really not a fan of most fruits and always ate them because I felt I should,so juicing them and...

You sound very focused! I always find it better starting at the end of the year rather than waiting for January because in my mind I'm more likely to stick at it if ive started during the year rather than seeing it as a New Years resolution which I will inevitably break lol.good luck with your...

Oh no that's so rotten,have you been to the doctor?ear and throat and tooth infections have to be up there with the worst things :-(

I ended up caving last night and had pizza.i don't regret doing it but I'm glad to get back onto the juices this morning,il be continuing that until 31st October.i know it's meant to be 28 days straight juicing but I figured that 31 days with two bad meals isn't too bad! The job fell through-im...

Today is day fifteen out of 31 so practically halfway. The weather is rotten here today so I reeeeeally just want to veg out and eat lots of stodgy goodness :-(

Yesterday morning I was regretting only eating half of it as I wanted the rest by that stage lol I'm not finding it too difficult,it's more irritating at times than anything else,especially this week as me and oh are off work and that usually involves lots of nice meals of munchies in front of...

I went out for a meal tonight and had good intentions of having Seabass and veg but ended up having pizza-first bit of solid food in 12 days.it was my favourite restaurant but I wasn't that into it,only ended up eating half of it and now I'm bloated and looking forward to getting back on the...

That's the spirit :-) well done on the running and walking!

Woohoo to the weightloss but booo to still being ill,that's dragging on quite a bit,have you been to your doctors yet?

Good luck for the 2lb weight loss,when you are in the right mindset there is no stopping you and the pounds seem to fall off! :-) I really want a good loss with the juicing (though obv a certain proportion of that will go back on when I eat solid food but that's fine).but to be honest,cliched...

It's going really well I'm on day eight of a 31 day juice and I feel really good (I will be having one meal on Sunday as my mum just got out of hospital and wants to treat us but I'm ordering Seabass and roasted veg so not too bad).the juice is meant to be 28 days but because I'm having a meal...

That's fab about the job,you know too well what it's like to hate your job so it's great your happy on that front.the diet side will come in time :-) I would give my right arm for a pizza right now lol,my oh and his family are at my favourite all you can eat buffet right now and I had to stay...

I can see why running does that for you,I never enjoyed it before but j think that I pushed myself too far too soon,by using the app this time it's more manageable (still kills me though!) Managed to do day one of week four,yay! I did my last run on an empty stomach which I think is where the...

Thank you,I hope so too! I have managed to get rid of my scale addiction at last,the number still matters to me but if I put them out of the way and say I'm only weighing on a certain date then I generally stick to that which has been helpful for my sanity lol

Sorry cat,hope you feel better soon that sounds rotten.hows life in general treating you?are you still enjoying the job?

Well done apico and 366to266 on getting to halfway point,that's brilliant!!! 19 pounds to go and I will be there too lol,bit of a distant dream at the minute!

Yay to getting below pre hol weigh! Chuffed for you!

That sounds painful-good on you for running even when you were off plan,I find that sometimes when the diet goes out the window so does the exercise. I finished the third week of couch to five k.i think I might need to repeat it though as I really struggled on the last run.going to try the...

Did you enjoy the chocolate at least? Weebuns is great,she's eating really healthy food,I think down the line I will do it again,I was eating quite badly on the normal days which probably wasn't doing me any favours!

Woohoo go you being on your fourth day,I'm on my second,so far so good.im juicing at the minute and the first few days are always the worst so hopefully by the start of next week il be finding it a bit easier,I haven't given into temptation yet but I want to eat anything and everything lol

Lol that's always the way! The past few years I haven't been tooooo bad at Christmas so hopefully I can rein it in this year! Whenever I have a bad few weeks and then weigh myself and have a big gain I tell myself that most of it will drop off quickly cos it's not a 'true' gain.that used to be...

Same here! Would be delighted to lose a stone by Xmas,I think that works out at just over a pound a week,so still realistic hopefully!

Yeah if could just lose 3lb a week between now and Xmas I will smash my target by the end of the year lol! Scales are so annoying but I'm not quite as attached to mine now so hopefully not weighing for a while will be quite straight forward!

Can someone update my total loss to 3lbs please.pretty crap but to be honest I expected to actually be heavier than I was at the start of the year so il take it lol.i was meant to hit my target my 15th October,that's def not happening but I do feel focused now,not going to weigh until end of...

You sound very focused! Definitely a good idea to break it into smaller goals as I think it can be a bit overwhelming otherwise! You must be so proud of yourself you are doing great :-)

You are doing soooo good! Is that your target weight goal or will you have a new goal once you reach that?

I've been following an app that tells you when to run and when to walk,this morning was just 1.5 run,1.5 walk then 2.5 run 2.5 walk twice then 1.5 run 1.5 walk again.doesnt sound much but it killed me l,I know it will be worth it in the end.ive no idea on what distance im doing because I'm just...

Well done! You are sooo close to being halfway!!

Yeah its crap! I will try and make October my month!!

Some of the losses are great in this thread! I think I might have to update my loss to a minus number come Wednesday when I brave the scales lol

10k is great,I would love to get there but would be equally as delighted to do a 5k,hopefully il get there by Christmas!

Feel your pain it seems like we are both struggling at the minute,don't know what is going on with my head at the minute! Xx

Thx Autumn - how r u doing? Hiya,I'm good,diet is a disaster as always but I'm exercising.my weight is probably way up but I haven't braved the scales yet lol.i have a rotten cold at the minute and I'm eating everything lol

Sounds good! What sort of distances are you running at the minute? I've just finished the second week of couch to five k.im enjoying it but it's killing me lol

2lbs is fab! I know we always look for more especially when we have had a gain,but 2lb is a really solid loss :-)

Sounds amazing,glad you enjoyed it and had no regrets,I think if ud tried to stick to a diet whilst there then you would have regretted it,life's too short to diet on your holidays!

I like to think of myself as a relatively sensible person but when it's comes to food,dieting and losing weight,all my sense goes out the window and I turn into a lunatic lol.going to do five days of juicing next week to give me some energy and a bit of a boost and then il see what I fancy doing...

I'm not even joking when I say that I had considered doing a day of each haha,that's how I know I'm losing the plot lol!

Glad your better.our bodies are funny old things,even when we have the best of intentions they sometimes have other plans for us! I'm currently on week two of couch to 5k and I'm enjoying it.tried eating sensibly today but wasn't organised enough so I left myself too hungry and ended up eating...

Every few hours I have a different idea of what I want to do-sw,ww,5:2,intuitive eating,just eating healthy,juicing,calorie counting.aaaaaaghhhh lol.im sure one day il wake up and something will click,it's just taking a while to happen lol
