Pea on legs!
Lol WG - me neither! I've had a slow few weeks too, and made a change last week - measuring free carbs to control portion size - and it seems to have worked!
Can I join please?
It was my first WI today and I lost 3lb
Welcome Stitchy and well done on your first WI!
Well done MadMavey - it's always good to lose when you've had an 'out of routine' week! Good luck for next week!
Brilliant Why_d! Good luck for next week and congrats on your SW anniversary!
good tip i have heard that any decluttering helps with weightloss its all about cutting back on excess so less stuff less weight i think its feng shui. another good tip is in my room i have a vision board its all to do with the law of attraction you put on it what you want in life and it will appear.........i think i am going to put on some healthy things or phrases which will motivate me.
all that said i have gained 1.5 pounds this week and going for a weekend away to see me sis who is doing ww and only a pound from her target .......jealous moi hehe .......... i am just gonna start being rrrr strict with myself because its never worth it choc crisps popcorn pizza is never worth the disappointment i feel when that number on the scales goes up
sorry for being a downer
good luck everyone for the weigh in xx
Thanks for the tip Moomin - do you think if I pin-up a photo of Sean Bean he will magically appear?!
You're exactly right about eating rubbish. My old Consultant used to be full of those really annoying phrases - but they do stick in the mind! Her favourites were 'a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips' and 'little pickers wear big knickers'! Annoying, but true!
Enjoy your time with your sis and focus on what you have achieved - amazing weight loss!
Well done Honey - that's fab! Good luck for next week and happy SW anniversary! I've been at it for over a year too and when you think about it like that, it really makes you believe you can do this for life!
Yay 3lbs lost this week
Congrats to everyone that has lost this week
Fingers crossed for next week :cross:
Woohoo! Well done Bex - fab loss!
anyway....as for me....not quite half on....my scales say something like 0.4, but if my memory serves me correctly, i rounded down from 0.2 last week, so i'm kinda happy with practically staying the same this week given a terrible week in the hotel with banoffee pie and bottomless chips to tempt me! fortunately, it's only three nights this week...tonight, monday and tuesday and I'll be working hard to limit the damage as much as possible this week.....after not putting in enough effort this week and not seeing a huge difference, it has made me feel like I've been lucky this week and really need to pull my finger out!!!! So I'm off to make a batch of Superspeed soup for the days I'm home again!!! That should counteract the damage and then hopefully knock off a few extras!
most importantly....I'm still (albeit only just!!!) in the 11s (11 stone 13.5) which is my main aim...as long as I stay in this stone while I'm on my hotel stays, I'm quite happy
Good luck this week everyone...I'll try and not to lurk as much this week....that might help me find my mojo again

Joanna, I think you're doing amazingly well, given all the temptation that's put in your way every week.
When I go off plan because of things that I don't feel in control of, like business meals out, or stays in hotels, I try not to beat myself up too much about it and concentrate on what I did do differently, rather that what I 'failed' at. So, for instance, if I eat out now, I never have a bread roll, I never put butter on a baked potato, I always ask for sauces on the side, I don't usually have a pudding - all things I'd have done without thinking before!
Keep it up! x
Sounds like a 'no-brainer' to me K-wise - go, but drive! I have to admit that I hardly drink these days and I don't really miss it - well, I certainly don't miss the hangovers!
I keep planning on going shopping, but I have absolutely no idea what to buy. I've spent so many years in oversized T-shirts, baggy trousers or long skirts that the thought of even looking at other styles is flummoxing me a little!
I have some friends who are always telling me off for wearing things that are too big for me - perhaps I should bite the bullet and take one of them on a shopping trip for advice!
I'm sure you'll find your mojo and get that 1lb off in double-quick time - good luck for this week! x
Well, I changed things a little this week by weighing my carbs. I'd been overeating on pasta, rice and potatoes, (I do mainly green days) and my losses had really slowed-up. So this week I got the scales out and measured generous, but not OTT portions... It worked, as I have lost 2lbs this week and feel remotivated and back on track!
Plus, I got my 4.5st shiny, which has taken me 3 months to get to from 4st lost! Let's hope it doesn't take another three months to get to my next one!
Good luck to all those still to WI xxx
