Monday 14th July weigh in

Lost a pound - now 12stone 4 lbs. Well done Glass

Lost a pound and a half at the Slimming World weigh in, so quite pleased having lost my way for a few weeks with trips away and lots of visitors. I really feel the need to take a bit more exercise so I'm trying to use the car less and walk more.

I'm afraid I've put on more weight. I blame work. End up with sandwich lunches.
Gone up to 14 7.
Must try harder.

Thank you Glass and well done on 3lb weight loss. I like the comments here, they are positive and helpful, and it's nice to be able to share any concerns or handy ideas on the road to a few less pounds.

Super stuff glass - an inspiration. I managed my walk this evening and there was such a beautiful pink sky. Hasn't it been a glorious day.

My goodness - 3lb glass!! And yes, I would like it if you could post me a SW book? I'd really appreciate that.
Trying to get more exercise - had a couple of decent walks and started swimming again. The myfitnesspal keeps me right with the calories I've burned off doing that, so the important thing is not to go and eat those calories after the exercise .
Good luck everyone. It seems like we're really applying ourselves again now.

Glass...3lbs is fantastic!

Had a letter today to say that my gym has gone into receivership which has completely thrown me as I needed the machines there to tone me up. I'm going to go to my friends tai chi class but, although I used to put off going to the gym I felt great when I did work out for a couple of hours.

Yessssss 3lb off cant grumble with that can I just as well I previewed this post as I had put crumble...do you think that's a freudian slip

marelli well done 2lb ....if you want me to post you one of my SW books you are welcome to it, I seem to collect them

bee great 1lb good loss.

white hello good to see you. you dont have to put your weight on the thread if you dont want to just add your loss or gain, the thread run from a Monday to a Sunday so feel free to use it in anyway that helps you.
Never mind start off again and try to only have 2 slices of wholemeal bread from a small loaf or 35g of porridge or 2 weetabix per day, trim all fat of meat, plenty of fruit and veg. Be careful of cooking in fat dont use anything other than frylite. More important than anything is drink lots and lots of water.

nanabelle never mind new day start over again, it difficult when your routine is disrupted by vistors even if your glad to see them and setting a goal is a great idea, my goal is 1st off for the 14th Sept.

caramac I found with WW that I was often hungry and the points sent me around the bend, that's why I like Slimming World where there is very little weighing and counting and you can eat potatoes an pasta.

notso you have had a good excuse so new start and you will be fine

sue dont lose heart it will show next week keep at it

Nothing at all this week - I am on the plan, been very good but nothing!! Boo Hoo!!! off to golf to try and sweat a bit off.

Not a very good start as I've put on 2lbs, but I have a fairly good excuse!
No more excuses now though, and I need to get back on track.
Well done to the losers!

Good luck everyone!

I lost 1.5lbs this week but have felt pretty deprived most days, on the works lunchtime bash I had only a diet coke whilst my salad wilted in the car. I am on WW 26 points a day but either have too few points or eat them by teatime....erm before the evening meal I mean. So I have started to have free foods during the day and a low point meal for dinner. I run EVERY morning, round the fields for 40 - 55 mins ( a bit of walking in that to be fair), and feel less fat but it is sooooo hard to lose wight. I have lost 7.5lbs in 6 weeks. Is it age? Diabetes? fibbing to myself? I diligently fill in the tracker on my phone so don't think its the latter.
OH reckons i am increasing muscle and bone mass but losing fat. Oh Mr Science Geek - you might be right but I want to lose at least 3lbs a week and I don't care if that's unreasonable.
Good Luck Ladies!

My goal is loose SOME weight! I have been on what I thought was a really good diet for a couple of days plus walking for and hour a day and have put on 1lb!!!!!

Back to the drawing board-- it is soooo difficult though.

oh dear ….. I put on 2 lb. Why does it take two weeks to take it off and only two or three days to put it on? Visitors, that's why!!!!

Hello whitewave and welcome. It is nice to have new people and encouraging for us all when someone loses a bit!

marelli .. well done … I remember when I went to SW we were told to eat enough and also that it was important to vary what we eat.

My goal this week is to go for a good walk every single day.

And try those courgette fritters!

Any one else going to set a goal?

I am new-ish. weighing in at 13st 5lb.

Good morning, well done Marelli- I lost a pound, so that's good.

Morning! Was scared to get on scales as I started using myfitnesspal last week and felt that I'd been eating too much at their recommended 1200 cals. glass told me the other day that I may have been eating too little before, and that's why the weight wasn't shifting.
Hooray! I've lost 2 pounds this week!
