MancBird's Weightloss Diary

[*EB*]

I think if you are 'coasting along on SW' then you will do the same no matter what diet you do.

I think you need to knuckle down and focus (easier said than done i know) and plan your meals 100%

If you need a change - you can do that with SW. Red, Green and EE!

I might sound like a harsh moo, but i am doing this in your best interests babe. I think moving to WW will be okay short term, but why leave when you can lose weight on SW!?!

I have to agree with Elle - you know SW works and you seem to know why it hasn't been working so well recently. I don't know about you, but I personally feel like I've invested too much in SW to give up. The thought of having to learn a whole new plan sounds like a nightmare!

I am having trouble being on plan at the moment, but I plan to get back on track in January. I think staying to class a few times will help put the focus back on.

Good luck whatever you decide tho xxx

Hi Ladies,

Execllent tough love there, and so so needed, thank you! I think I had a temporary mental block, I know SW works when I follow the plan, and today the thought of learning a brand new plan from scratch is terrifying! I think maybe PMT followed by feeling bloated and generally run down all added up to bad decision making!!

I am going to stick at SW, but I think I am going to become an online member - my 5pm wednesday class has closed and the other nearest one is no good for work, so I am going to have to be strict with myself and weigh at home once a week at the same time... hoping that knowing I am paying online will keep me going (I couldn't just "go it alone", I need the pressure of knowing I've paid to weigh!).

So that's where I'm up to.... I'm thinking of CP and how brilliantly she did as an online member, and hoping it can work for me too.

Thank you for the support as always ladies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR MM-ers!

So I am back, focused, 12 week countdownned up, and raring to go!

I've decided that to increase my motivation I am going to wipe the slate clean and "forget" the 2 stone I've lost (and kept off) and start brand new, as if its my first day!

So I've reset all my details and tracker and my aim is to lose 30lb before my wedding in July.

Here goes nothing!

They're exercise pants that make you sweat 80% more or something like that lol, there's a 2 week challenge where you wear them for 30 mins a day and lose inches apparently lol... I think they will be good to wear for exercise but don't think sitting on the sofa in them will help me much ha!

Yet another fad no doubt, but they were £20 on Groupon and me and a friend bought them for a laugh )
