Sunday Weighers... or is it only me?

[gl12282]

Same here Pixi Just one tiny week. A perfect week for the new month! I have missed getting under the 200s, but need to have a good try at getting my 4 stone shiny back before my 1 year SW birthday in a fortnight. I had it weeks ago and lost it *tuts loudly*

No worries. This isn't a race. You will get it back. Just think that you are more than 50 lbs lighter than you were 1 year ago. Look at the big picture and be proud. I don't care what you have lost or not lost in the last few weeks. I care what you have achieved (Now must take my own advice........!)

I put on 1.75 lb after my hols which of course I am gutted about but ready to keep on with the plan. TBH I was not enjoying not being at home and missed my lovely healthy meals. Hoping to get it back off this coming week. xx

Actually, that's a great result. I put on 11lb on my holiday so be proud

Basically its because I am not losing I got down to my 4 stone loss in November last year, and have hardly lost since then. Admittedly I did get down to a 5 stone loss at my lowest weight in the middle of May but that one stone loss took me 6 months! I am now at a 4.10 loss (which sounds even worse!)

I just feel really meh about it all. I have even considered going over to the dark side AKA WW, but I did that once and I was either constantly starving or eating junk, so realistically thats not going to happen lol

I think the main problem is, is that I am caught in a circle of following the plan and either not losing or undeservedly gaining for weeks on end. So, I think meh what's the point as I am not going to lose anyway and therefore I may as well drink/eat what I what .........

I really need to see a few losses in a row and not this yo-yoing that I have had for the past few months, coz I the moment I feel like I am getting nowhere fast!

Still on 100% for this week though

Again, I understand that feeling, but as I said above, look at the bigger (or rather 'smaller picture' ). You have achieved FABULOUS results over the last year. I don't care how long it's taken or how slow it has been recently, you have lost that much and you are still here.

*Scratches head trying to work out the sweary word*

Coz I am innocent you see :innocent0002:

Right must be offski as I have a visitor tomoro bit of body magic and all that <oops halo just slipped>

Wooohoooo. Get you lurved up Smartie . I have laughed a lot tonight catching up here


Sorry I have been missing in action for a couple of weeks. I have just read the last 10 pages and am still missing a couple of pages before that. Eeeeek. Musn't leave it so long next time.

Well, I have been struggling a bit recently but I am still weighing weekly regardless and mostly following SW. I am still 6.5lb heavier than my lowest weight about a week before I went on holiday at the end of May. However I have eaten a lot of chocolate/cinnamon buns etc etc in that time so it's not that much of a surprise. I have a plan. Am doing my best this week despite lots of meals out. Away next week (have a SW buddy where I'm going so will try my best again there) and then I'm going to set myself some mini targets when I get back. I think I need that focus at the moment. But, on the other side of things, I have my SW anniversary coming up too (about the same time as sausage I think) and just as my 6 month anniversary was quite emotional, this one will be too.

So, on the NSV thing that someone posted earlier

Why losing weight is awesome because ...

I have dropped 5 dress sizes, I feel good about myself, I don't mind being in photos for the first time in my life or looking at my reflection in a window and I can honestly say that as much as I (always) want to go and eat lots of biscuits (or insert any other word that = sweet, sugary, carbohydrate !) I really want to continue on SW for the rest of my life. It's the only way I have of staying where I am (or even moving downwards again !) and I just cannot face going back 'where I came from'. I am so much happier now and I can honestly say that this has changed my life in lots of ways.

Sorry again for my absenteeism (and apologies in advance because I won't have access from Saturday) but I will keep coming back (and posting long threads - haven't you all missed that.......................). Well done for being here all you Sunday weighers

Lots of fantastic reasons - this was actually really motivating for me this morning!!!

It is fantastic not to have my tummy sitting on my lap when I sit down. Looking forward to feeling and looking great in a pair of jeans.

That's a great reason, I know what you mean, just those changes in body shape, it's a great great feeling!

Why losing weight is awesome because ...

I no longer look in the mirror to be revolted by the reflection looking back at me, hey I even look at myself some days now and think that I dont look half bad

Oooooh, yes - building self-confidence and liking what you see! I'm not scared of cameras any more, which is a great feeling. I love this one!

Oii Losing weight is awesome as it means I am now immune to the taunts of scaffolders. This was the turning point that made me start SW. They wouldn't bother me now as I am doing something about my weight and am in control. I felt this immunity right from day 1 on SW

Powerful, Silly, very very very good. I also think that they should be scared of you now...

Lol. This is a fun convo.

Errmm why losing weight is awesome... I am in control of what I am eating and no longer crave rubbish. Oh and the gorgeous menu ideas I find on here. I love food. x

I know what you mean! I love the meals on SW, they actually are tastier to the ones I used to eat, it's such a fabulous thing.

Welcome back Gail!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good to see you post here again, I've missed you!! And yes, the one year anniversary IS really emotional!!

 

[Honey39]

All those reasons for why weight loss is awesome beyond words was really inspiring to me! Thanks guys, it was such a boost. I want to continue to do this more than I can say. I can't begin to tell you how important weight loss is to me -and not just weight loss, but perhaps even more than that, maintenance. I want to get to a healthy weight and stay there for the rest of my life. It's tough, but I am going to give it my very very very best and honest efforts to do this.

So, with all this motivation and inspiration, I'm going to have a great Wednesday! I've got my lunch/snacks prepared for the day, I know what I'm going to have for my tea, I'm going to walk a lot and drink water - it's going to be a dull but on-track day! How about everyone else? What plans have you made for the day to make sure that you have a good weigh-in on Sunday?

 

[PinkToaster]

Grrrr I ACHE this morning! Went for my first swim since about 2002 last night, swam for about 45mins, nothing too strenuous. But I'm paying for it this morning!

 

[silly sausage]

Morning all. Looks like a sunny one here :character00238:

Pinkie - well done on the swimming! Brilliant body magic. I posted last night in my diary that my son had dragged me swimming 5 times in the last 8 days - I feel bendy, but my hair is like straw. (Yes Honey - I am scary! lol) Traditionally, I don't have a waist, but there is definitely a bit of waist there this morning. Keep up the good work Pinkie

What plans have you made for the day to make sure that you have a good weigh-in on Sunday?

I am having a veg-a-thon this week and will no doubt be dragged to swimming again. Feeling great this week and my 3 lb gain has already gone.

Hey Gail - we are swimming world birthday twins

 

[PinkToaster]

It is so hot in this office that I have actually removed my cardigan and am showing my arms! Can't bear to think of cooking later, I will have to have a search for a syn free cold meal.

Swimming was good, felt a bit self conscious as I was the only one there though. I need to work on my swimming technique, I had some horrible pain in my lower right back, but then my primary school swim teacher always told me that I needed to stop sticking my bum in the air while doing the breaststroke, so that's probably the reason!!!
I can't help being naturally curvy, my bum sticks out of it's own accord! ^_^

 

[blubex]

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello in between doind a million other things!!!

It is unbelievably hot at the mo which I'm finding really hard work especially at work as I have to go out into our factory quite a few times a day and my safety boots are fur lined...great in winter but absolute killer when it's like this!!!

I am managing to stay well on plan (with the exception of a 15syn cream tea last Sunday but I figured I have a week to recover from that!!!) Could desperately do with getting some exercise in but just don't seem to have a mintue to breathe at the mo so hopefully all the rushing around will help.

Hope everyone else is getting on ok, will have a good reas through all the posts I have missed when I get chance x

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Is that vertical body magic


Gail-yay you have returned !!!!!! Missed ya hun!!!

Mmmmmm now Honey - there are so many reasons why it's good to have lost weight - apart from the fact that everyone at work has noticed and said how good I look - I actually like me in clothes again!!

Also my chest is no longer an extra tray to carry stuff on and those 'orrible back folds - laydeez you know what I mean - have gone yee-ha.

Plus by eating healthily my IBS is almost controlled (when I'm not naughty) so no pain, & other yuckies!!!

Also - I would have never met all of you guys had it not been for SW & this site

Hi everyone, hope you are all having good weeks, it's so hot that I am finding that I am not fancying food so much, is anyone finding the same? am hoping that this will mean a loss on Sunday, but am also feeling so bloated as if I am retaining water. Am going to up my water intake to try and combat this and will keep my fingers crossed. Enjoy the rest of your week x

Well done on the swimming, guys - that's awesome!! The people on this thread rock....!!!!!!!!!!!

So, how was your day food-wise? Mine was pretty good. Ate a chickpea dahl and salad at lunchtime, munched on apples for snacks, had a ready meal (tagliatelli, low-cal) with veg stir fry for dinner. And loads of exercise.

I find that I make better food choices if I pre-prepare. Like making my lunch for work the night before, chopping up apples and carrots to take, having a can of diet coke cold in the fridge, that kind of thing. I am NOT good at making choices through the day if I have to buy food.

So yeah, a good week so far. I'm hoping to see a loss on Sunday if I keep up the good work!!!

I know what you mean about planning...if left to my own devices I will eat anything and everything within reach whereas if I make a plan I stick to it (more or less).

I like to plan a couple of days ahead and get all the right things in from the shops too so I am totally committed!! I have been following the meal plans in the magazine a lot recently as I always enjoy the food...although not always all the preppign and cooking!!!

My appetite has gone off a little bit over the last few days..probably down to the hot weather although I did buy a hypnotherapy cd the other day which may be what's doing it!

I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to these things but figured I'd give anything a try if it helps me lose a few pounds and it was recommended by a friend...I'm reserving judgement for now on it's weight loss benefits but it is definately helping me to relax and get a good nights sleep at the mo!!!

*proud mummy alert*

The national exam results were received in the post today in Scotland. My daughter got credit passes in all her Standard Grades. I am astounded and chuffed to buttons!!! :bliss:

In other news, I am still 100% this week

I have to make a good plan now for Friday's dinner so I don't go mad (as usual) and eat everything that is not nailed down.
