5 stone challenge

[indiebabe]

Evening all!

Welcome newbies, we update weight on a Tuesday here so it's the perfect day to join msjmc (Jackie) is in charge of us all this is her fab group!

Hclaire, well done on your loss! Onwards and lighter we go!

Jackie - I'm sure your weight will pan put after totm, it always gives a false reading! I'm not too gutted by my sts, is always nice to lose obviously but I was expecting it after my crappy day of eating on training last week, I actually thought I would put on.

What does your son do? I'm waiting to hear about my job too...it really is doom & gloom and very scary! My relationship is very rocky at the moment which is getting me down and if my job goes too I don't know what I'll do!

I struggled after week 3, I think what kept me going was I thought 'if I had stuck to this when I first started to diet I could be at goal now, I do not want to be looking back again, fatter, in 6/12 months thinking I wish I'd done it then...I'm just going to do it!' and so far it's working! x x

@elejesu - I agree with Kat about the hot water and lemon, the other thing I find is a strong black coffee or a couple of cups of Green tea...basically anything with caffeine in. I had real trouble going when i first started sw and it was caffeine that got me going, but I've been fine on ww. Good luck! x

 

[slimmermcs2012]

Thanks for the welcome I am doing my own plan,seems to be working.The thing that's made it come off quicker is the exercise.I do 45mins in the gym of a morning come home,take the dog out for 30mins(mainly to cool down!!)and then i am out nearly an hour in an afternoon with him.I limit myself to 3 slices of wholemeal brown(bread is my weakness,more than chocolate)Basically lots of fruit and veg,for something sweet a yoghurt over fruit or sugar free jelly.No carbs after 6,i normally do meat and lots of veg/salad.Really it's the boring way,still have a long way to go but people are noticing and i have loads more energy.Really started for health reasons,high blood pressure,backache and always seemed to have a headache.The downside costing me a fortune in new clothes!!!but of course well worth it.Right, i will post as often as i can,have a good week folks

 

[Size 16 Will Do]

[MsJMC]

Beauti , the orange plan as i say , my friend liked that one as where i used to be doing red , meats more then got fed up and did green .
diets do become boring , just takes a strong mind to really want it . where are you going on holiday . yes always s good time to start to diet , we say right got 6 weeks lets hurry up lol knowing we have had to start for some time were all the same .
elesjesu , hot drinks good idea , how about husks ?
my sister seems to be on strong painkillers and can't go now maybe once a wk ouch not good .
slimmer , was reading your plan , and your doing alot of tonning its all adding up for faster results , i bet the headaches have gone i was getting loads until i started vlcd , i only get them as the carb stores go then i feel great . but when i eat crap i get bad heads and pain over my right eye sure its what i was eating .
indiebabe , thanks for the kind words , always a lovely person , blowing some good luck dust your way , keep strong and vent out as theres eyes everywhere .
size16willdo , hi helen , yes post away ,come back strong , think i'm no longer interested but now committed to want this more than food .
how about we tell everyone a little bit about ourselfs ? i'll go firt shall i lol

morning lessofme i'll add you in now , you've done well on sw , which plan are you doing ?
we all are on different plans on here so its also interesting seeing how people are getting on ....
morning everyone , i'm doing the scale hopping which is not good cos the scales are not moving , so best to leave them alone .
ok going to update now ...

 

[Less of me]

Morning
At the moment I'm following extra easy because it does what it says on the tin, it's easy. In future might try green, we'll see, but EE seems to be doing the trick at the moment.

Lessofme , we have Beautifulmess on here doing the sameplan EE .Thats it as long as its working , i never really got into that plan while i was on SW , my friend loved that one .
I was on VLCD but not doing so well , still want to pick it back up , my tummy is so bloated at the moment with womens things , just trying to have a look on here what actually in the under line problem that causes it .
might be why my scales are not moving ...
ok have a good day all

Think this is a lovely idea... I'll go next.

I'm Claire, I'm 25 and I live in Birmingham. I work as a counsellor for people who have had a stroke and to support them and their families. I also do lots of stroke prevention work. I live in a flat with my boyfriend who I've been with 3 years.

I'm very confident and friendly, love socialising and meals out with a glass of wine I'm a total bookworm and love films. I'm also a real family girl, I live an hour from my family and find it really hard coz I miss them constantly!

As for the diet, noticed a couple of you on sw ee - I tried it and it didn't work for me so I'm on ww pp, I love it! My weight loss seems to be slowing down now to 1/2 pound a week but that's ok, I have around a stone left to lose so I'll get there!

Jackie - I always get bloated at totm, I have found green tea and just drinking loads helps a lot. I'm a serial weigher and don't seem to have as much of a problem if I drink lots.

Hope everyones ok. I'm going swimming again tonight, trying to go twice a week to get my exercise routine kick started xx
