Monday 24th September weigh in.

Morning, glass.
Tummy twice the size it should be having been given something (dodgy I'm sure) to eat yesterday which I knew almost immediately was a mistake!
Does trapped wind weight much!

put on 9lbs on cruise. Lost a lot already now 13 6 1/2
Back to diet so I can put it on again on Xmas cruise

Managed to put 4lbs on in a week, thanks to a weekend in Copenhagen with DD. Off to Crete tomorrow for 2 weeks, and now worrying that I'm half a stone heavier than my clothes allow for! Too late to do anything about it.

Morning all. butter my tummy does that with white bread!
jeni you will soon have that off and in time for Christmas
vegas too late to worry about it, enjoy your holiday
I have fallen off the wagon these last few weeks, couldnt be bothered with myself at all, but I think my head is in the right place again.

decided to diet as I had to have a comonoscopy and the preperation for that meant I lost 2 kilos. so no a week later I have droped another kilo. So I am determined to loose the 15 more kilos, who knows I am determined as long as I do not get side tracked. OH os sortof going along but I do not keep him as stricktly but it is easier than two meals with the associated temptaion . The Dr would like him to loose between 5 and 10 kilos over the next 6 months

Only put on 2/3 pounds on cruise in spite of afternoon teas and all that lovely .
food.
I did have a few swims and walks round the deck and on the tours.-glad that I managed to keep up.I think the gym sessions and swims beforehand really helped.I'll get back into a routine when visitors have gone.-other DD and GD coming next wkend.

Haven't been on GN much for a while, and not on this thread for ages. But have taken courage in hand and am back. I had a bad week last week, comfort food due to a sad happening in family. I have put on three pounds, but am now on WW again , but I find I can ' t do it without the Monday weigh in, so help me keep on track please you lovely GNers .

- drag the flags in glass or leave them at half-mast! Emoticon doesn't seem to be working - even the flags are sulking!
We all seem to be in the same boat this week as everyone seems to have either put on or not quite lost what has been recently put on
Hope you will soon be back to your old self glass - WE NEED YOU!!!
I weighed in at 158.8lbs this week - a gain of just over a pound.
Naturally, I am a bit annoyed but with the Boss' farewell do, daughter's graduation celebration, being forced into quick takeaways two evenings last week and a packed lunch at a training day on Saturday I can't really say I am surprised.
Word of warning - I had to take a packed lunch to a training day on Saturday. I dashed into Tesco last minute on Friday and grabbed a tuna layered salad which had the calorie content on the label as 250 ish (can't remember the exact number). Feeling all angelic I went onto MFP in the evening to see if I could afford a biscuit with my evening drink - entered in the Tuna layered salad and my total went scarlet!!! It recorded the salad as over 500 calories!
Looking at the label again, written in tiny writing up the side of the nutrition list was half of the contents amount to the figures on the nutrition list! ARGHH!!! It was what I would consider a normal salad size container and not splashed with 'serves two' or anything like that! Don't want anyone else falling for that
I am back on track this week and will definitely read labels properly

Right we are all in the same boat........ so how about a plan its 13 weeks till Christmas how about we start this week and in that time at a 1lb a week that's almost a stone....... 1.5 lb we could loose 19.5 lb...... 2lb a week that's 28lb 2lbs off 2 stone................

What do you all think?

I am rejoining Slimming World tomorrow night and would like to loose 1.5lb a week so 19.5lb would be the best Christmas present I could get!

Hello all the new GN, glad you have come to join us.

Well ladies and gents - the gauntlet has been laid down!

I for one AM IN !!! Thanks glass for more encouragement and incentive and come on everyone encourage glass in return !!!

I'm in!

GNHQ, WHETE THE CRESCENT MOON?

That should read 26lb 2 lb off 2 stones

Count me in for the Christmas Countdown!

Following a week of virtuous eating and weight loss, I've been away again and eating normal meals, so this week I've put on 1lb.

A great idea Glass to focus on Christmas and as you say, a good weight loss by then would be the best present we could give ourselves! You can do it Glass, you always do well with SW.

Can I join too?

Lovely to see you Nanadog!

Hello, can I please join your weigh-in. I weighed in at 13 stone 13 lbs yesterday (Monday), having lost 8lbs. Will join you again in one week - good luck, everyone.

Hello nanadog & dahlia its good to see some new faces.

Isn't it wonderful to drop down into the next stones category dahlia?

Oh you are all so encouraging! I've put on another 0.6 kg this week, but a ot surprised as have had a visit from DD2 and family, which was great fun but involved a lot of eating and drinking. Now you've got me psyched up to start losing, not gaining, and I am going to go swimming tomorrow (in the street if the rain keeps up) and will aim to lose something (anything!) by next week. Good luck everybody!

Do we have to fess up our weights or just say what we've lost? Or not as the case may be.

Glass I am sure you will reply to nanadogsbody re us not having to fess up to what we actually weigh so will leave that to you but I have a feeling you keep a little note of the amount each of us admit to losing (or otherwise ) each week.
If you have fourteen of us on your list would you be able to report that Gransnetters are a stone lighter this week (providing 14 of us lose the pound you have challenged us to lose!) It would be great if we could say Gransnetters have lost a stone this week!!!
Just a thought - if you don't have 14 of us perhaps we could do a recruitment drive via a new thread entitled 'Help us lose pounds' (or a wittier title?) directing new faces to join in the Monday Weigh In thread?
PS Do you know if the flags are working again yet? Hopefully we will all need them next week!

Of course if I had half a brain I could have tried the [flag] [flag] [flag] !!!

.... and would have found out that they are NOT working

Come on TECH - we need them! (well hope to need them!)

Nanadog, I've posted on this thread every week since May 2011, but I've never posted my weight. Most people don't.

I like the idea of a recruitment drive Sbagran. Can't think of a witty thread title though.........

sba yes I can do a running weight loss each week, also a total loss if you think it would help, I may get a little confundled when some are lbs and some are Kilos, but I will try my hardest to convert to Lbs as most of us are still imperial.

Next week I want you all to have lost lbs and then we can have lots and lots of flags or whatever Tech has fixed by then

nana and all the newbies you do not have to reveal your weight unless you want to, you just report the total loss or gain. We all use the thread to support each other, none of us are experts in weight loss (but if your like me have had years of practise ) you can post recipes that you have used and enjoyed or to have a moan if you need or as you all will be next week shouting from the rooftops..... oh and I forgot to say that we all do our own thing some do SW, others WW some use the My Fitness Plan just whichever you find suits you......good luck everyone.

Thats it I have been and joined Slimming World again but a new class and I feel much more at home, so I am hoping for some good results.
