well I'm only going to Slimming World every other week now as I am staying below target

I think Wendy (Tenerife Sun) did it a while ago she said it worked for her. I agree I think it is a good way of maintaining your weight, I only need to lose another 2 1/4 and I am back to my goal, I think I will then continue with it.

Hi Paula ;) I know a few people who do the Five Two diet, and they all say how well they do on it, my brother does the diet every other day i.e one day low calorie, next day eat normally, and so on, he has lost over a stone in just 2 months, although I do think men lose weight more quickly than us ladies, no idea why that is though :-S

Once I have lost a few more pounds, I may give the five two a go, will have to get the book, it seems a sensible way to diet, and to then to maintain your weight.

Hello Lynda. I wondered where you were. I have been trying the Five Two diet for a couple of weeks, and I have to say it really seems to be the best one for me. (I got so bored tracking and pointing every day) I have a diet of 500 calories for two days and eat "normally" for five days. Just counting calories for two days, it's great and the bonus is I have lost 4 3/4. lbs.

I brought a book explaining Five Two diet, it is being endorsed by dieticians doctors and other health professionals.

Good luck everyone, just do what works for you.

Hello everyone :-D

I've not been on GR for a good few weeks, been away on holiday a couple of times, and have been doing all sorts.

As for the weight, well, I've been up and down since Christmas, couple of pounds off, couple of pounds on, but seeing as I've been away, and eating out a lot, I'm very pleased that I'm more or less, about the same weight as I was in December. Now the nights are getting lighter, and I feel more "alive" I'm now focussed into getting back on track. We've had a couple of lovely days, weather wise, so I'm thinking of summer, and want to get into summer clothes as soon as possible, so need them to fit :-0

Hope you're all well, and in the slimming zone :-D

i seem to be holding my own at the moment
as i was the same again this week :-)

Hi everyone :-D

I think you are right DS, well done for staying the same this week.

I ended up 2lbs heavier than my starting weight, lots of distractions including christmas etc but life has settled down here now so onwards and upwards :-D

I weiged in two days early at class due to work commitments, I normally have a morning weigh and this week was an evening, and lost one and a half pounds. I was really pleased. Im still at S/W the class leader and people in group are really nice, its a new group but same leader. Much better class dynamics as well.

I tried a desert which is free on extra easy. Sugar free jelly mixed with fat free natural yougurt and any superfree fruit. Its really nice and hits the spot for a sweet fix.

good luck for the week

:-(

Welcome back Teresa :-D
I think that our motto should be 'once a member always a member' so you can pop in and out whenever you want to

Happy new year everyone :-D I have lapsed and two pounds over my starting weight at S/W which I rejoined at the end of december.

So may I rejoin you all again?

I am starting from scratch with extra easy plan. Weigh in is on a Thursday or Saturday depending on work commitments.

Teresa :-D

Shelly, I still have my Christmas four pounds and can't seem to shift it. I have very good days and very bad days. I need to be somewhere in between every day :-D

Congratulations on stopping smoking. I really do admire you for doing this, it must be so hard to do. My husband couldn't stop, he tried several times but never succeeded. He would have done anything for me but he just couldn't stop smoking although he did cut down. He died two years ago of throat cancer. Xx

but was exspeting that like i have already said

Mine give your body fat percentage as well which is quite good I think they have come down a lot in price now.. You can also store up to 4 peoples height details which you need for doing the fat percentage. Mine are Tanita.

Hello Wendy, mine are very old WW scales and clearly need to be replaced. I did mention to OH that I thought they were inconsistent , so I was delighted this morning. One lady is going to WW at the moment and said her weight was the same today. Just looking on the internet for the best scales to get.

Preferably the same make and model as those owned by your yoga teacher ;-)

Well done to you, it certainly isn't easy.

I have been weighing myself at home once a week for a while now, over the last few weeks I have gained and lost randomly. I have not significantly changed my eating so was feeling slightly demotivated. At Yoga class this morning the teacher weighed us with newly calibrated scales and I was five lbs under my current home weight. This included my Yoga clothes. This would put me to my goal weight from 2011, I think some new scales are needed,


Keep up the good work.

Yep Shelley, loads of hills and steps just a bit short on will power.

Just remember to let be know when you're arriving :-D

I'm still struggling with five pounds, I just can't seem to get motivated again. It's been quite cold and very wet lately, just like England, and I'm sitting too much and eating too much :-(

i dident realy exspet to loss any think not with the
non smokeing so ill give it a week or to befor i realy get back in to my diet
as i need the smokeing patch to kick in and i dont mind not lossing any think as long as i dont start to put on every week
