Try taking some fruit or a cereal bar to class with you. My weigh in is in the morning and I almost always take something with me and the consultant asks me what it is. Then I get embarassed but not enough to stop me from eating.

 

[debjk]

Yea I always take a banana or a cereal bar but it just wasnt enough when you have had no tea any how I lost 1lb so now have a 2 stone sticker..... at last!

I think it's great you are doing the Couch to 5k training. I'm sure it will make a big difference to your weight loss and stamina!

Thanks never thought I would be able to do it i'd never run and not been gym regular for probably 10 years but it does work so anyone who thinks they couldn't possibly run give it a try you may surprise yourself

[Kater-tater]

Hi!
ive been looking for someone who was a similar weight to me/similar start weight etc
Did you lose the weight you have already on SW? You have done so well!

Have you got any adivce for me? Its my first week but i think i am eating far too much even though i am sticking to my Hex's and syns

 

[debjk]

Hi Katie

Yes have lost it all on SW although since christmas its been very slow I was 11 5 half at weigh in just before Christmas and what with gaining a few pound over christmas and going on an all inclusive holiday its taken me this long to lose 6 half pounds.. not too bothered tho because I can eat well and dont feel too much like I am on a diet
I started the end of september last year and 1st week I lost 3 then 2 and then it went to mostly 1.5 each week until christmas now it seems I lose half or 1 or I gain half despite sticking to plan Try not to worry about eating too much I eat loads and I dont think the food diarys reflect that because my portions at mealtimes are huge I just love my food. Just relax dont over think it eat when you are hungry and fill up I didnt come on to this forum until after Christmas and up until then lost steady amounts then I read about too many carbs, too much fruit, too many calories, low GI ect ect it does start to make you think you are doing something wrong try to read with a pinch of salt IYKWIM stick to plan and the weight will come off and most of all just enjoy food experiment have fun food is not your enemy

P.s not having a go at this forum I love coming for the recipes moral support
