bloody nora you lot can gab!!!! right this is a long one!! but i missed to tag patchninjas post about her great loss...so well done on that first off...now down to business
Morning all, had my proper weigh in today...and am pleased with a half pound off!! It doesn't sound like much..I know...but after a holiday, I'm delighted. Holidays used to mean 6lb gains for me!! Am happy with this result
fabby result, well done!
You are so right about the starving thing. I am definitely not doing it next week, I wasn't trying to starve myself for weigh in (OK, maybe a bit) but I always plan a pizza night for a wednesday - it is late to cook a proper meal and I love pizza! And this means I have to ease off the rest of the day. But yeah, I think that particular habit has to go. Next week I will be organised and have something I have batch cooked ready for when I get home.
Other than that I am happy with the class thing, I probably could do it alone now I have TL on my side, but personally I really like the regularity of weighing once a week and the people there are all lovely. It is a bit more positive than lots of groups I have gone to before, where people sit around and laugh because they have spent the day scoffing cookies and been 'naughty'.
i love your almost honesty lol, you always make me smile bonnie....anyway thats enough niceness from me
you could do it alone, but its your choice, its your life, your body and do what you want to do, but seriously dont starve yourself before weigh in...i eat normally when i weigh in and as you know im a serial weigher...what ive discovered the past 3 weeks is that i actually weigh less in the afternoon after breakfast, dinner and plenty of fluids than what i weigh in a morning...by a whole pound. i have proved this to be correct day after day, 3 weeks of research have gone into this...for some reason i weigh more in a morning...maybe its water retention or something im not sure, but dont be fooled by thinking fasting all day will make you thinner for weigh in, your not cheating the scales your just fooling yourself. dont pig out, just eat normally. breakfast and dinner and perhaps a light snack, have your tea prepared for when you get home, and maybe take another on plan snack to weigh in with you.
I must confess to eating exactly the same measly crumbs every weigh-in day. 1 banana, 30g fruit and fibre with a yoghurt. I then stop drinking from 3pm. I weigh in at 5:30, don't usually get home til 7:30, and I have just decided to change this since reading your comments. Its ridiculous. It has led to many a night of bad eating after WI, though not lately. Tonight I will go well fed, well-hydrated and because I have also started my boxing club this week, after a long time without any real exercise, possibly some water retention too. Sounds like a recipe for a gain, but it will mean a cracking loss next week, and the weeks and months after. Well worth it
tut tut...see above
Thanks bonnie, you had a good loss too. And fair play for re-thinking how u will approach ur weigh in days from now on.
I don't go to someone to get weighed anymore...I do it myself, first thing in the morning each week. It took me ages to break away from going to a group...but actually, I can be accountable to just me, and I'm a much harsher critic!!
A big habit I still struggle with is not binging after I weigh...it's such an old habit...and takes a huge effort to break! It's the whole thing of realising I'm not a dog that should be rewarded with food!
How does or did anyone else break this habit???
i weigh in most days so if i were to have a post weigh in binge id be gaining weight. i used to binge after weigh in but now i want to make every single meal count. if i have a bad meal or binge i just feel bad and i dont like feeling bad. why do you do it? do you think it doesnt count? i cut out snacks a few weeks ago, and it was soooo hard the first few days but i felt better the cravings stopped and the weight started coming off, i started snacking again...all within my allowance im not cheating myself, but im hungrier. so its been knocked on the head.
Lost 2 1/2lbs whoop thanks guys for the support i really needed the kick up the bum
woooooooooo well bloody done girly!! you deserve that loss, amazing!! you are truly amazing, proud of you
Only a 3.1kg loss this week. Yes, I know some of you think that's a lot, but trust me, I could be doing better. And since I can't possibly diet any more, the reason is my exercise levels. I keep making excuses like "I'm too busy at the weekends" or "I've got no time after work".
So this week I am switching my walk to the morning, and I'm getting up half an hour early to get it in. Gotta have a shower every day - might as well have a good reason for it!
The worst thing is, another 0.1kg and I'd be under 22 stone, which I can't remember since the beginning of the decade. Still, one more week and I'll hit goal II
right, im sorry but im not going to be as nice as the others, im mad with you.....you lost arounf half a stone and your disappointed? seriously? why?? how much do you think is an acceptable amount? you have lost over 2 stone in 3 weeks....3 WEEKS!! and yes you have a lot to lose, but your not going to lose it all in a matter of a few weeks, im sorry but your not. stop being so impatient and down on yourself, youve done FANTASTIC and i dont think your attitude is going to help you in the long run...this is tough LOVE not 'beat yourself up for not losing a stone a week' if your making excuses not to exercise then fine...increase that but for the love of god please open your eyes and see how well youve done! your science boy...you KNOW that your not going to be able to keep up massive losses each week, i told you this the other day but no amount seems like its enough...what are you goig to do when your losses slow to 1-2 pound a week? and they will at some point..or what if you have a sts????.you need to accept that your body is shedding the fat as efficiently as it can, and you KNOW that losing massive amounts all the time can lead to losing lean muscle mass, which is what actually keeps your weight coming off at a faster rate, so whilst i understand your impatience at wanting to lose weight, you are going to have to accept that your not going to lose a stone each week. i want to hear you sounding more positive about things as i honestly believe that if you keep being down on yourself like this your going to end up feeling really fed up and i dont want that for ANYONE. now pick yourself up, take a look in the mirror and tell yourself your doing it...you are losing weight and this is a journey not a race, we all want to be at target like yesterday but its just not possible....do more exercise by all means, keep on with the diet your on but please try to see how well your doing. theres no shame in admitting your doing well. now well done...im proud of you even if your not...2 stone in 3 weeks is phenominal...ill say it again PHE-NOM-IN-AL!!
Hey Patchninja, that is Epic! Isn't that about 2lbs? Just keep the chipping away and your day will come! Well done.
This has been a REALLY GOOD WEEK FOR THE BASSERS. Just waiting on your results on the weekend now Lou, don't let the side down!
im trgying my hardest...been for a 3 hours walk today and done loads of cleaning, only just sat down for lunch..which is ham salad, and im having stir fry for tea. i havent got weighed today and not sure what time to get weighed tomorrow, for some reason i weigh more in a morning? like i say maybe water retention. but no snacking again tonight...just tea then juice. ive got quite bad pains in my stomach today, im not sure what it is....it started when i was exercising the other day, i hope it isnt a hernia. eurgh. im trying to ignore it but i thikn i need to get it checked out.
