well how ashamed am I? I put on half a pound tonight :-(

not to worry, only did that once before and the week after lost 2lb so hopefully the same will happen again :-D

Well done TS, good for you, that's a fantastic loss :-D

I don't know where we are with our weight race do you? I can't keep up with my maintains, gains and losses. :-D

I think Ann weighs in tonight, wonder how she has done?

At last....weighed in today and lost 3lbs the weather has cooled down a bit and I think my body isn't holding on to so much water. I now feel feel a bit more encouraged to keep going.

I think that's still only 8lbs in 7 weeks

LYNDA. it is quite obvious to me that to step up your weight loss you simply HAVE to cut out these holidays. :-( :-D :-D :-D :-D. Only joking of course.

You are doing well so go on holiday and enjoy.


Shelley about 13 years ago I used to teach weight management based on low fat and exercise. I was the right weight for my height then and had to maintain it as every week I had to stand before a class of over weight people and say something like if I can do it so can you. Also if I had been very overweight I don't think I would have had many people in my class!! This is what kept me on track and why attending a class or group every week ( whether you have gained or lost) keeps you motivated.

There aren't any clubs here so I and 3 friends all get weighed each week at my house. We record our weight and body fat percentage and generally chivvy each other along.

I only did a month at the gym. I will go back in the winter but there was no air conditioning and we have had temperatures in the high 30's. it was too much for me.

Good luck with the barbie, have a great weekend.

To everyone else ...well done and hope you all have a loss next weigh in :-)

Morning Ladies :-D

Another pound and a half off at last nights weigh in, pleased with that, it's the half I put on last week, plus another pound, so I am keeping to the pound a week off.

I've just looked on a chart for my BMI,and it says I'm not not far off of being normal weight, whatever normal is :-S. I've just found my book from when I was with slimming World in 2011, I started at the same weight, I was this time I joined, and I'm half a stone off what my target weight was that I got to then. I'm going to aim for that weight and see how I feel, If I carry on with the pound a week half a stone is only 7 weeks away, but I do I have a holiday in between. Although I've lost weight more slowly this time, I'm happy with that, and so pleased I started dieting again, because I feel so much better for it.

The lady at our club, who has lost 9 stone 3lbs, was voted as our clubs slimmer of the year, so was put through to the regional finals, which am very pleased to say she won, next step is to see if she can through to the National final, where she will go in to be Slimmer of the year. She is a lovely lady, and a big inspiration to a lot of the bigger ladies, they can see what they can achieve if they persevere.

Have a good week everyone, and put down that chocolate ;-)

im going to take some of them tips on board as we have a BBQ on saturday for my daughters 30th birthday so it will be fruit veg and saled all week for me :-(
and are you still going to the gym if so try and get there about 2/3 times a week and try to burn at least 300/400 cal every time you go and build up to 500/600cal
i find i loss 2lb a week if i go gym 3 times a week and burn at least 500cal each time
if i dont go i only seem to loss 1lb a week.

well done cooper hope you reach your goal very soon

Hi everyone, well done. Ann you must be chuffed to bits and welcome Suzanne.

I have got back to what I was before both holidays. 10stone 10lbs so a whole stone gone since the start of May. :-D I am also five foot 4 and this is the lowest I have been for 15 years or so. I was 9stone 10lbs before the last offspring and was a size 14 then, I'm still a size 14 :-S but have been squashed into a 16 and 14s for several years.

I'm getting back to basics and want to loose another 7lbs and see what I look like then. :-D

I am feeling better with a lot of aches and pains gone. I have a butternut squash soup on the go at the moment. I had a bit of a fight chopping up the squash to roast but managed to get there without loosing any fingers! Its roasting with garlic at the moment and smells scrummy. I will report back after the taste test.

I read a book called French Women Don't Get Fat. A lot of it I just skimmed through as it was posh recipes and stuff. But basically it said that they live by the word 'compensate'.

'If I pig out today then tomorrow I will cut right back". " if I eat that big cream cake I will walk tomorrow and not use the car". Etc

Actually in a simpler way the idea is good. I recommend cutting down, BEFORE an event not after because leaving it to after it is easy not to bother.

For instance if you are going to a party or wedding Saturaday cut down through the week before you go also you may not eat so much on the Saturday because you don't want to put back what you've just lost by cutting back though the week.

This is the advice from one who is struggling with one pound a week weight loss. The weather here has finally cooled down a bit and I think I may make two pounds this week :-D

when i was bigger i always had a ploblem with my boobs being to big
for button up tops. i always wounder why people want boobs ops for bigger ones
and i carnt see how thay are happy with thease big giant things in front of them
and it is funny becouse you never seem to see many of them with button up tops
ether.

lynda your right it dus make you feel better in your self
and it is nice just to go into shops and not look for bigger size and hope it will fit
and look good

hayley i use to have to get 18/20 tops just for me boobs and most of the time you could see that thay was to big under the arms
shoping is now like a holl new world


any way do we have any tips for when we fance a little pig out
at the week ends as this seem the only time i fance the food that is not good for me.

When you're happy with yourself in how you look, it makes you feel better all round.

The lady at our club who has lost 9stone 3lbs said it has changed her life completely, she took lots of medication, she now has stopped some tablets, as her aches and pains have gone, and feels she doesn't need to take some other tablets, so will go back to the doctors again to see what he says. She looks completely different to the person who joined, and she is so much more confident with herself.

It's all to do with being happy with yourself , and we all seem quite a happy bunch don't we :-D

Good luck in the week ahead :-D

That is what I was doing TS, funny isnt it, for the past few years I hated clothes shopping it killed me to buy 16 14 wasnt too bad and at times I even had to get size 18 tops, size 12 now even had to get a size 10 once or twice :-D

Well done Shelley, spend, spend, spend :-D

Good for you Lynda, I think the last time I was a size 12 I was probably aged 12. I would look like a stick insect if I was that small but it would be a good reason to eat where as at the moment I sometimes eat for no reason at all :-(

well come to the thread suzanne and well done on your weight loss

iv been winter clothes shoping and i got in to a size 12 jeans
and i got some of them new tights with no feet nice and thick just like me lol :-D
i got them in primark only £3.50 and thay look realy good with long boots and
a long jumper that cover your bum that was a size 14

but the old mans not to happy with me keep spending his money
first new summer clothes now new winter clothes
but i told him looking good dont come cheep and i have not told him yet that i need a new coat :-D


lynda keep it up and we can swop out fits :-)

I got back into my size 12 favourite jeans today, just a little tight, but wearable well chuffed with that :-D

To be honest I'm not that bothered about what I weigh, as long as I feel right with how my clothes look, I went down to a size 10 last time I dieted, it didn't suit me, if I can lose a few more pounds, so the jeans look I'll be happy.

High 5's back to you sister Hayley :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Just goes to show doesnt it, I am almost the same height as Suzanne and even though I am a few lbs under my ideal weight ( to me) if I was to loose another stone I'd look like a corpse.

Come on Suzanne stick with it you can do it .... :-D
