LOL, it's okay! Added, and welcome!
Whoa, you'll whizz that! Welcome!
Welcome, added!
Oh Natterjack! I'm so so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you're going through right now. Dieting would be the last thing on my mind.
I've changed your stats x

Well, as for retaining my title- it's all gone HORRRRRIBLY wrong, and I managed to (despite sticking to plan without exception, religiously, and even counting calories as well for the last half of the week, staying between 1,100-1,200kcals) GAIN 2.5lbs. I now need to lose 13lbs in August, which by my calculation is just over 3lbs/week.
If you could kindly adjust my target, and anyone religious out there might like to mention me at Church this Sunday- I think I need nothing short of a miracle to lose these days

Gutted for you! At 5'9 is 1100 calories enough?? I've changed your stats to 12.5 to lose, cos you initially wanted to lose 10 but gained 2.5... I can change it to 13lbs if you prefer?

Hi, thanks yeah 12.5lbs will be fine- it’s all feeling equally unachievable at the moment to be honest
That will take me to 10st6.5lbs, which would be lovely for holiday actually, by the skin of my teeth if I can manage such!! I agree 1,100kcals is not enough, however I (whilst sticking completely to SW plan at all times, annoyingly!) really overate at the weekend, and so my average daily calorie intake for the week was a more reasonable 1662kcals, and I had hoped would pull it back for me to at worst maintain!!
Never mind, onward and downwards, I’ve left my car at home today and walked to the station to get to work- and didn’t have too big a sulk last night, munching on an extra peanut Hi Fi bar in protest, watching my evil boyfriend eat an Indian. Now if THAT doesn’t earn me a loss next week, I’m going to set fire to the SW scales
Hope everyone else is getting on slightly better??

I 2nd that.....I have never eaten so much great food and lost weight. When I'm at work no-one actually thinks I could be on a diet because of the stuff I eat throughout the day.
This perhaps so tacky but I don't enjoy eating the rubbish I used to it always makes me feel sick & sluggish afterwards.

Well I had weigh in today and lost 2.5lbs! So pleased with that result 18lbs lost in a total of 6 weeks, really pleased
I now weigh dead on 200lbs and hopefully next week I will say goodye to the 200's FOREVER!!! I forced myself to eat all my extra A's and B's this week to make sure I get an average loss of 2lbs a week so i'm doing well and with the amount of weight I've lost so far i'm kind of 3 weeks ahead for reaching my target weight (as it is at the moment) so still on track to get there for Christmas I think! xx
