Less Jelly Wobble

[jelly15]

I have been inspired by some of your weight loss diaries/threads into doing one for myself.

Week 1: 14st 7 lbs :blush:
Week 2: 14st 1lb -6 :clapping:
Week 3: 14st 1lb 0 :panic:

I had such a good weight loss the first week I suppose I can't expect much the second, although I have stuck rigidly to 1400 cals a day, so I am a little disappointed.

Have been walking 3 miles most evenings with my sister so I am getting enough exercise. Hope to get under the 14 st mark next Monday.

[Tink]

Good luck and stick at it, don't get disheartened when you have a week where you don't loose weight. My DH is using the Wii Fit he was 18st when he started and he has lost a stone in 4 weeks I am so proud of him, so stick at it and be confident:)

A stone in four weeks is great, well done to your DH.

Thanks jelly

Ive had a bad weekend, Friday went to a party ie alcohol party food, sat had the hang over nibbles and had a take away curry and Sunday went out to dinner but did chose my food carefully. I am being extra strict all week as I'm out again saturday night :blush:

I'll be happy with 1 lbs but hoping for 2 lbs :jump for joy:

[The Juggler]

i read somewhere a while back that it is really common in week 3 not to lose. I didn't (well 1/2 pound) and it seems to be true in threads that I've read here and other places that most people don't lose that week as your body adjusts????

anyway you have lost loads so just be proud of yourself honey:clapping: :clapping:

[funfunfun]

Good Luck Jelly!

I started WW nearly 2 weeks now, 2nd weigh-in on Friday. I lost 5lbs first week, so not sure what will happen this week. Running after kids all day and you'd think the weight would be dropping off in heaps...:rolleyes:

Good Luck to all

[maryp0ppins]

My goodness am I dreading my weigh-in tomorrow...

I have had a really really bad week. Chinese friday evening, Party sat night so lots of wine and food, lovely big Sunday roast, Sunday evening raided the cupboards for junk food then Hubby bought home fish & chip supper last night & I've had 2 chocolate bars today :(

Need to get back on track....away in April with the girls for a Hen doo & really want to loose another 10 lbs

need some words of encouragement :panic: :panic: or just a gun to my head ever time I think of naughty foods :blush: :blush:

I have these quotes stuck to my dressing table mirror, "Rather the pain of disciline, than the pain of regret". "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out". These seem to be working for me at the momment, stick at it there are a lot of use in the same boat, you are not alone :thumbsup: .

Phew, stayed the same which I am OK with, better than putting on after the naughty week I've had :blush:

total loss after 4 weeks-----still 7 lbs :o

[Louise317]

Well done ladies :)

I lost over 2st in the last year, but I am REALLY struggling now to keep focused and too scared to get back on the scales because I know it'll say in the last few weeks I have gained :ohdear:

I SO want to get rid of the last of it before the summer kicks in and especially before my 10th wedding Anniversary in September... but just can't stop myself from been naughty :blush:

But I think I'll brave those scales in the morning and start a fresh.

Wishing you all the best xx

[The Juggler]

what worked for me was to have a naugthy day each week on fri or sat usually. Otherwise I'd keep going for weeks then have a naughty few weeks but I was so determined this time.

[jelly15]

Glad you didn't put any weight on Mary :thumbsup: .

Good on you Louise for getting back to it, thats what I should have done six years ago before I put back the five stone I lost back on :panic: .

You're right Juggler, it helps if you find the thing that keeps you sticking to it, with me at the momment it's saving 300 cals to eat right at the end of the day, I have to have something to look foward to each day, food wise :thumbsup:

[jelly15]

Week 1: 14st 7 lbs
Week 2: 14st 1lb -6
Week 3: 14st 1lb 0

Week 5: 13st 9lbs -3 (total-12)
Week 6: 13st 6lbs -3 (total -15)

So chuffed I have lost just over a stone now. If I can average 3 lbs a week I will be more than happy. Still walking daily for an hour briskly, on the treadmill if it is rainning.

[maryp0ppins]

Brilliant......well done :clapping:

your doing so well, It's getting harder for me but I'm still needing 10lbs off to get to my goal...:p

[maryp0ppins]

I don't believe it........I stayed the same again :rolleyes:

[The Juggler]

hon, it often evens out after a few weeks, especially if you are exercising and turning that fat to muscle. don't be disheartened. You know a good plan is to do measurements or use a fave pair of jean.

If they are getting looser or the tape measure's needign to be tightened then that's another way to tell.

Weeks' 3 and 4 are usually bad and I think after a big drop that often can happen in a cycle.

[jelly15]

I don't believe it........I stayed the same again :rolleyes:

I aree with Juggler Mary, the scales will move soon try not to be disheartened.

[maryp0ppins]

Thanks ladies.....I've been really good this week which made me a bit :angry: on my weigh-in...I'm going to continue to be really good so fingers crossed next Wednesday there will be some lbs shifted

15 lbs is fantastic and you've lost almost every week. If your feeling horrid it's OK to comfort eat. Get rid of your cold and start afresh :thumbsup:

I love getting the back up from you guy's and when I was having a wobble the other week you pep talked me into seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It's my weigh in tonight and I've been so good so hoping for a loss :D

[jelly15]

I know what you mean Mary about back up, good luck for tonight.

[maryp0ppins]

I know what you mean Mary about back up, good luck for tonight.






Half a blooming lbs :mad: . I've worked my butt off just for that :laughing:

Saying that though I did put a pair of jeans on that I bought just before Xmas and I couldn't wear them without a belt, so may have lost inches!!

Better off than on though :D

[jelly15]

Hey it's still a loss in the right direction, it may show on your next week weigh in, stick at it I need my diet buddy :thumbsup:

[The Juggler]

if you are losing inches then you have lost bodyfat hon. you must be turning it to muscle - are you exercising lots?

[maryp0ppins]

:laughing: :laughing: Nope not really, have been walking lots with double buggy and speeding it up but apart from that not much else really.

I've been out with the LO's today & treated us all to an ice bun :blush: :blush:

Had healthy break, lunch & will have a health tea tonight too!!

One more pound to having lost a stone and a half, and two more to be able to say 12 stone something. Went hiking on the weekend, 11 miles Saturday and 8.5 on Sunday, so I think that helped a lot.

I just don't know how you do it, but whatever your doing send it my way!!

Inspiration to us all you are :thumbsup:

I had to miss my weigh in last week due to other commitments but was awful anyway (time of the month :( )

Back on form today and going gym at 6pm :thumbsup:

[jelly15]

:blush: I have never been called an inspiration before lol. I don't know what has got into me but I am terrified the bubble will burst.

Don't worry about missing your weigh in, because as it was that time of the month you might have been retaining fluid, and next weigh in you will get a good weight loss.

Hope you have a great session in the gym tonight, and thanks for the replies it helps to know that I have buddies here, it is suprising how many people are trying to sabbotage my diet, now that my weight loss is becoming visually apparent :thumbsup:

[maryp0ppins]

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

cant believe it.....i stayed the same again :rolleyes:

gonna be good again & I've been gym twice this week & going swimming tonight....If I stay the same again tnext weighin then I hold my hands up and surrender :D

You must keep going the weight will move soon, espesially as you are working out too.

This week I have bought a DVD called 30 Day Shred,by Jillian Michaels, from Americas biggest loser programme. It takes less than 30 mins a day including warm up and cool down but it is really intensive. I have done level one for three days on the trot and I am aching all over, but in a good way :rolleyes: . Goning to stick it for 30 days to see if it works.

Well done, I've been really pleased with myself this week plus hubby said he fancies fish and chip for tea so him and the girls are having that and I've just finished making my slimming world home made fish pie (free of syns apart from the grated cheese on top but counting that as my healthy extra :thumbsup: )

I'm going to really enjoy it as I made it last week and loved it and I know I wont feel deprived watching them lot munch away on their chippy meal. See when I'm in the zone I can really focus but as soon as it's PMT time I'm like a woman possessed :rolleyes:

WOW don't be disheartened, you've done brilliantly so far. Look at me I had about 4 weeks of none budging, I stuck to it (give or take :blush: ) & it paid off.

Come on girl pick yourself up dust yourself off because WE will look great for the summer :thumbsup:

[maryp0ppins]

weigh-in last night & lost half a pound. I've been good and expected a pound but half off is better than half on :thumbsup:

[jelly15]

Yep, any loss in the right direction is good. Having not lost any last week I have lost 5 this week :eek: . Can't believe it, but I went on a ten mile hike yeasterday, lots of huge hills so that must be what does it for me. I am now 12 stone eight pounds, so one more pound to 2 stone, nearly half way there.

[maryp0ppins]

:welldone: :welldone: Flipping brill :thumbsup:

I've had a bad weekend & its PMT time so not looking to have lost much or anything this week.

5 lbs is amazing, I've been going gym & swimming although missed 2 sessions last week :blush: but now the light nights are here me & hubby have talked about going on some nice long walks.

[mama2three]

Feeling inspired by your success ladies - so here goes. Day 1. Will go and weigh myself once the schoolies have gone (:eek: scary!). Have promised myself several times lately that I will start my diet and have failed spectacularly within the day. Feel a little more motivated today so wish me luck!

Good luck mama :thumbsup: Jelly is the ultimate dieter in my book, she really does well. I have really good weeks then go off track for a week and Jelly keeps me going.

I had a naughty weekend, dads bday Fri (out for an Indian meal) my friends 40th (party + food + alcohol "although only had 4 vodka & diet cokes from 6.45 till 1pm & drank just diet coke in between")
Out for dinner Sunday family get together :blush: but did go for hour half walk after :thumbsup:
I'm out tomorrow night for a friends birthday dinner
My birthday on Thursday so going out to dinner then too :blush:


But guess what.......I went clothes shopping on Saturday & bought 2 pairs of trousers......size 10 whoooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo

Not done that for a few years :jump for joy:

[jelly15]

OOh Mary size 10, I am so pleased for you...........and a tiny bit envious :blush: . Hope I get into size 10 this year. I was size 18 at the start of this diet and I am now squeezing myself into a 14.

Also you have a great social life :thumbsup:

Id need to shave off my hips to be a size 10!
but day one went ok ish. Not an angel day but sooo much better than a normal day so a step in the right direction. Did chicken out of weighing myself though!

[maryp0ppins]

I was just struggling to get into my size 12's and be comfortable then started to buy a few size 14's for myself when I started slimming world!!

So although I didn't have to loose loads I was struggling to loose it on my own, up down up down but only a few pounds...

I dare say some shops I will still need a size 12, I've set my new mini target to loose another 5 half lbs then like I've said previously I will weigh what I weighed on my wedding day :D

Im not a choccy person , Ive even given up sweets for lent. My huge downfall is bread , biscuits etc.
Ive not got a huge amount of weight to lose , a stone or so would make a big difference and take me down to 91/2 stone and a size 12. Ive got friends who weigh loads more than me , a couple of stone , yet are still slimmer than me. Mind at only 5 ft 2 every pound shows! and its all on my face and belly!!

lol you are the same height as me hon. :laughing: :laughing: you should try to get into choc a bit more to curb your sweet tooth though, it is soo much better for you nutrition, calorie and fat wise than biccies and cakes - especially if you can train yourself to like dark choc.:thumbsup:

[mama2three]

Im fed up and fat and just cant seem to get going - eat loads of rubbish , then feel really bad! Especially during all of the lovely weather and all of my summery clothes show off the extra pounds! I really need to find the willpower to do something , and soon! 3 months til i go on holiday should be enough time to see a real difference , but only if I can get going!!

have you tried taking a picture of yourself now then one with how you used to/want to look. Put one of each on all the foodie places in the house, fridge, cupboards etc, then you'll be forced to make the choice when you go to have a naughty snack.

WoW! What a difference - you look great
( not that you didnt before:blush: )
So ( she says digging herself out of hole!) yet another attempt from me - going to WW tonight and hoping that the thought of looming weigh ins is enough to keep me on track. bit scared of what the scales will say tonight though!
Id like to be around 91/2 stone by August , tall order but here goes!

[jelly15]

Thank you ladies, the problem I have is there aren't many photos of me at my fattest, and if there are they are from the neck up at my insistance.

Hope you had a good result last night in your weigh ins ladies. Mary you sound like you had a good time in Benidorm.

[mama2three]

day 1.
Again!
Trying to be positive!

[maryp0ppins]

2 lbs on, but I can handle that. Don't feel bad with myself as I really did let me hair down. The way I look at it is I'm still a whole stone lighter than before I started which is fab.

:D

[Daisy1956]

Total loss 13lbs but am stuck at the moment still at least i haven't put any on,trying to be positive.

[jelly15]

Lost 2 lbs (now weigh 11 stone 12lbs). Bad mood yesterday morning so jumped on the treadmill and ran for 24 mins non stop :eek: .

[maryp0ppins]

Lost half lbs last night so :thumbsup: going in the right direction once again :laughing:

[mama2three]

First weigh in last night and I lost 5lbs. :D I know it will slow down dramatically but so happy to get a flying start. Beginning to think that fitting into my holiday clothes may even be a possibility!

[Leanne59]

well done mama2three! That is a great start. I'm on my day four of my new diet not following ww or sw, just counting calories and exercising more! hope it works.

Keep up the good work ladies! :D

[jelly15]

Well done Mary.

Wow Mama2three.

That is exactly what I am doing Leanne, how many calories are you eating per day?

[jelly15]

Weighed this morning and I am 11 st 11 lbs so a loss of 1 lb since last week. Going to be really strick this week as I have my nieces 21st birthday party on Friday.

[Leanne59]

Well done Mary.

Wow Mama2three.

That is exactly what I am doing Leanne, how many calories are you eating per day?

I'm planning meal for around 1200- 1500 cal per day.
I've weighted myself today and I've gone from 11.1lb to 10.10 so not back for this first week. ive been using sparklepeople.com website. its helping me keep an eye on my calories and its free!

[jelly15]

Good weight loss Leanne :thumbsup: . Have been having a stressful week so far and I have not been as good as I planned :panic:

[maryp0ppins]

:crying: :crying: :crying: ate well this week, followed the rules...1 lbs ON :( :( :( :(

sometimes it's just how it goes

[mama2three]

Only lost 1/2 lb this week - and thought I had really stuck to it. Had forgotten how frustrating the whole diet thing can be!

[jelly15]

Weighed this morning and I am up 1 lb. Got a dinner tomorrow night and a wedding on Saturday :panic: .

[maryp0ppins]

WOOP!! WOOP!!

2.5 lbs OFF :D

[maryp0ppins]

whoops....dont know why that went into the centre.......:blush:

[The Juggler]

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: go you. am feeling v. proud of myself today. I reached and unintentionally passed my target in November last year. I've been doing a mix since then sort of 70:30 of the eating plan rules and I've now maintained that weight for 6 months :clapping: odd few pounds here and there at weeknds and xmas but going back to eating 70:30 does the trick.

It's gotta stay off now.:p

[mama2three]

WOOP!! WOOP!!


2.5 lbs OFF :D

Yeah, well done:D

Juggler I have a feeling that maintaining is going to be the really hard bit! If I ever get to goal that is:laughing:

Still , 1lb off last night so 6 1/2 lb lighter than 3 weeks ago. Have a wedding at beginning of July and then Holiday in August so have a couple of things to help to focus my attempts! Promised myself when Ive lost another 4lb then Im going on a frock-shop!
Heres to :littleangel: weeks for us all.

[jelly15]

Go Mary :jump for joy: .

Wow Juggler so you should be proud :clapping:

Mama2three, that is great loss over just three weeks:thumbsup:

I am still at 11 st 12 lbs and have a wedding Saturday :panic: . Think I will try just to stay at this weight until the bank holiday is over then really get back down to it. Still been doing my long walks so I think that is helping.

[The Juggler]

[maryp0ppins]

Your all doing really well ladies....It's nice having this little thread going...when I've had a not so good week & I see you lot have I think "come on Mary you can do this"

And likewise if I've had a good week and others not it's nice to back you up as I know just how your feeling!!!

It's school holidays next week so I every night I'm gonna make myself a nice fruit salad pot & keep it in the fridge & pick at it through the day!!
I've been doing this the last few days and its been my saviour :thumbsup:

Thats good....at least you didnt put on :D

[mama2three]

[Leanne59]

Hi Ladies!

I'm back!! Ive been very very naughty the past weeks or so and totaly fell of the band wagon, as ive been to my friends 25th and out for a meals. Ive eaten and drunk far to much and feeling very guilty now, as if id stayed on track i should of lost a 1stone by now instead of beening the same as b4.

oh well Im starting again tomoro. ive been to tesco and stocked up!! and booked a circuit training and spinning class for friday night!

i will lose this 3 stone!

i will lose this 3 stone!

[mama2three]

You sound so motivated Leanne - Spinning is my idea of hell! Good Luck!

I lost 1 1/2 last night , 8lb altogether and am now half way there ( to being within healthy range).

How much had you all lost before you , and other people started to notice a difference. I know 8lb isnt a huge amount but Id hoped my clothes would be a little looser by now! And Im sure the odd comment from people would really spur me on too!

:clapping: good loss. Try bumping into someone you know who hasn't seen u in a while mama, I am sure they would notice a loss of over half a stone.

Nice to have you back on the thread Leanne, you do sound in a good frame of mind for dieting.

[maryp0ppins]

:censored: :censored: :censored:

1.5 ON :angry: :angry: I've been good as well, had the odd naughty meal but worked out that 3 meals out of 21 (3 meals per day 7 days a week = 21) should have not made me gain weight......I've also been swimming & had a 2 mile run since last weeks weigh in !!!!

Going on a bike ride tonight & swimming again tomorrow night!!:(

[maryp0ppins]

stupid blumming dieting...

[jelly15]

Mary don't panic, it could be fluid retention. You may see a big difference next week.

or exercise - muscle weighs heavier than fat - not losing wieght doesn't mean not losing fat :thumbsup:

[samb]

I hope you don't mind me joining this thread? I started SW (on my own) couple of weeks ago but could do with "weigh ins" with someone...
So..
Initial weight - 11 stone 8lb
Week 1 - 11 stone 6lb (-2lb)
Week 2 - 11 stone 6lb :(
I am aiming for 10 stone to make my BMI 23.5

Your weight losses are fantastic on here - well done! :clapping:

Im sure this thread will help you Sam , its certainly helped me.
Knowing there are others here who are having the samne good and bad weeks and yet keep on going is really motivating.
My initial goal is a bmi of 26 to get me in the healthy range - but may try and lose a bit more. All seems a long way off though - but Ill get there!

[samb]

Thank you! I originally started SW at 13 stone and lost 2.5 stone but put 1 stone back on :o Hence starting again!

[maryp0ppins]

Well and truly fell off the band wagon....:blush:

Friday, Saturday and all today I have eaten naughty foods, crisps, chocolate, cakes, ice creams you name it it's gone into my mouth!!!

Think I may just need a week of evil foods then back onto being good again...This is my pmt week....at our slimming world it's called our *(star) week!!:rolleyes:

I don't even feel that guilty :o

[samb]

Star week - lol! I used to get like that - having a "bad" day and thinking well I might as well be bad all week and start again next week. However, it quickly changed into quite a few weeks of this! Now I am trying hard to think of each time I put something in mouth for it to be a new opportunity! No more waiting til next week, or even waiting til the next day - the next meal/snack is my next opportunity. :) (although I probably won't be managing to say that in a couple of months time!)

[Leanne59]

Hello!

Ive had a good weekend of long walks and nice food! I ached all over yestaday and today, so spining and circuit training must be doing something good even thought it was Hell!! going back next week:D I was 11st now 10.10lb so a good start!!

How are you ladies doing?

[mama2three]

AARGH
Having a binge attack and hating myself for it. always been a bit of a binge eater but have controlled it since starting ww quite well , or made sure there is lots healthy to eat in anyway! The way I feel right now ( after a bowl of cereal ,2 biscuits, an orange , grapes , muller-rice....) is I could eat my way through the whole cupboard.
Ive come on here and banned myself from the kitchen ..its weigh day tomorrow! Wouldnt care but Id be out at zumba using calories instead of eating them if mindee had been collected on time!

[mama2three]

feeling a bit better this morning. i did carry on eating last night - I have no idea why I do it. Its certainly not hunger , more compulsion! when I get like that I even eat things I dont actually like - last night i went onto the jaffa cakes - wouldnt normally touch them cant stand dark choc!
Well its a whole new day so hoping for a better one!

[jelly15]

I have had a few incidents of binging lately :panic: . Have managed to stay at 11 st 12 lbs but not lost anything for a while. Going to hang a pair of size 12 jeans on my wardrobe door to inspire me ;)

[samb]

Phew glad I am not the only one who just eats and eats - even things you don't really want! Luckily not at the moment though - although did make flapjacks with the children and of course only 1 likes them so there's lots left for me :rolleyes: . Think I might put them in the bin to stop me picking!

I lost 2lb this week. :)

[maryp0ppins]

I've been so terrible since last Thursday I don't think I'm even gonna go to my weigh-in tonight because I feel like I'll be laughed out the door!!

I was on a good roll eating well but loosing little (but exercising so must have been toning up :rolleyes: )

Because the scales didn't move much I thought **d it enjoy myself.....But havent got back on track since.......

It must be in the air to be filling our faces!!!:blush:

Feel like I need a big kick up the backside again!!

Morning ladies how are you all doing?
Weighed in last night and only lost 1/2lb so a bit fed up .. have a feeling the last 1/2 stone is going to be a nightmare to lose.

[Leanne59]

eveing ladies!

I weighted myself this morning and im still the same 10.7lb. I'm so cross/upset ive been so good this week, cut down caffine, eat more fruit n veg. Ive done my excerise video when the kids go to bed, and walk to/from pre-school, as well as circuit training and spining. dont know what else i can do.....
I was on a high last week as my fitness instrutor said i was doing well and running faster and for longer after three week of circuit training and id lost 3lb.

hon once you really up the exercise (especially things like circuits and spinning) you really will increase muscle mass but the fat will be converting to muscle - you just won't see it on the scales - so don't be too disheartened. You could try doing measurements instead or use a fave pair of jeans :D

Picked up a nasty stomach bug off mindee and took me all weekend to recover :( . Weighed myself this morning and I am still 11st 12lbs. I can't even lose weight when I am ill.

hope you feel better soon hon. probably bloating from the bug. Don't worry til you are back to eating normal and then weigh.:)

I think that is one of the downfalls of a once a week weigh in (although I know that's what is best). I had a full on weekend (parents visit, fathers day etc) so indulged to my hearts content. Out of interest I weighed - had put on 4 lbs. After 1 day of eatign normally (yesterday) and by normally I mean healthy but loads, incl. chocolate in the evening - that 4lbs has dropped back off. I'm not advocating weighing daily I was just curious to see what happened but if your weigh in is after a week of meals out, when you couldn't exercise cos you were ill, etc, etc its not a true reflection.:)

[mama2three]

Really struggling this week too , does anyone use any of the over the counter slimming aids / pills. Maybe some of the mild stimulant ones ( not sure which they are though! Might also give me a bit of missing get up and go!) I know theyre not great longer term but really want to get into a lovely dress for sils wedding ( 9th July).

i think they are dangerous hon. if you wanna do a quickfix for the wedding maybe try the shakes diet (I'm not a fan :( ) or seriously just ditch the carbs big time for a few weeks (no bread, pasta, peas, lentils, rice) eat loooooads of veggies with eggs, meat and fish and a bit of choccie to help you along so youre not totally deprived - it works. Then reintroduce them slowly.

good luck x

[mama2three]

See Juggler I know youre right but getting desperate! Honestly dont think I'd last more than about a day on the shakes - and am already in danger of resembling a stirfry! I eat fish , chicken , veg and fruit atm - hardly any carbs apart from fruit ones , and its just getting over this plateau thats sooo frustrating!
tell you what though , it is making me very determined never to put the weight back on!

me either:laughing: :laughing: like my food too much - take my hat off to those who do it.

Watch for hidden carbs as well as the breads though hon, lentils, peas, beans, chick peas are a no-no and root vegetables are slightly more carby too so reduce them - go for the green leafy, tomatoes and peppers rather than the root veg and anything that is a bean or comes in a pod - though green beans are fine and so are avocados in moderation (good fats - yeay!). Eat apples when you are craving. Make sure you ditch breakfast cereal for a bit (fruit and/or meat/eggs for brekkie).

Also watch for reducing dairy or hidden dairys in salad dressing/foods with sauces and anything that has high fructose corn syrup on it and soups which are thickened with milk, cream, flour and potatoes.

It's a bit extreme as a way of life but for a short term, quick fix slash the lot. This way you can still eat loads.

Good luck. you can do it x

[maryp0ppins]

Hello fellow dieters :waving:

Well I have been hiding away for a bit as I've had a busy couple of weeks and I've been very naught food wise!!

I didn't even go to my slimming world class last week cuz I had the DONT give a hoot attitude :blush:

Back to being good now though. Weigh-in tonight & I must have put on so will shrug my shoulders and say hay ho as I know I'm in the right frame of mind again to be good.


Hope your all feeling and being good with yourselves :thumbsup:

[mama2three]

Weighed in last night and am another 1lb lighter , hoping I hit the 1stone lost by next week ( 1 1/2 lbs to go).
I do feel the need to have a bit of cake though as its Jellys birthday and it would be rude not to!

Happy Birthday Jelly x x

That's brilliant regarding your VERY long walk.....probably muscle with all that walking you do :thumbsup: so don't beat yourself up!! :D

[mama2three]

Morning ladies Im a happy bunny today , weighed in last night and lost 2lb:D Im now only 1lb away from being a 'normal'!! weight ( 25bmi).
Total loss 14 1/2 lb.
The best bit for me is that I have lost every week since starting - only 1/2 some weeks but whenever I have dieted before it has been 1 step forward 2 steps back and a complete 'yoyo'. Its slow and frustrating but its working!! I might actually look ok at sils wedding ( next sat ) instead of like a sack of spuds!

[maryp0ppins]

Brilliant, well done mamma.....you will look and feel gorgeous :thumbsup:

I on the other hand have been good with food AND have been doing the 'Insanity' work out DVD every-evening (it's a killer) and put pound and half on......:(

I do hope it's just muscle weighing in as if what I have been eating + exercise puts weight on then someone for many years has been getting it wrong!!

In the right frame of mind still so I'm carrying on being good and doing Insanity and I'll have to see what happens next week .:D

[jelly15]

:clapping: Well done Mama

Mary what is the Insanity work out?

I went to Zumba last night and tomorrow I am doing a sponsered Zumba of two hours:eek:

[mama2three]

I am becoming a zumbaholic , infact dh and I had words this morning about how often I am out in the evenings but when Im at home I cant stay awake past 9pm!!
Mary have you measured yourself? All that exercise is bound to be putting on muscle but I bet youre losing inches!

[maryp0ppins]

It's from America if you YouTube it you will see how crazy it is

Insanity it's called. It's 40 minutes every night of pure cardio workout & it really is insane. My hubby is a gym freak but he has been doing the DVD with me & said he has never experienced a work out like it...the sweat just drips off us (attractive).:thumbsup:

[Leanne59]

Well done Mama thats great!

Ive just looked up the Insanity work out and looks mental! Im sure your fat has turned in to muscle, if your doing that dvd everyday! Maybe buy a new pair of jeans a size smaller and make it ur goal to fit in them! its worked for me I can now fit in my dress just need to loss some more lumpy bits!:laughing:

im might have a goat the insanity work out! im bored of my jessie walace (Kat moon!), mel B and davina one's!

I love zumba on wii, cant do the classes, I never seemed to het bored!

Well ive lost 2lb this week! 10st. 5lb Circuit training and spining tonight!:D

[mama2three]

Well ladies if youre looking for a little inspiration....IM AT GOAL!!!
If I can do it then so can you all! I actually want to lose another few pounds but as far as WW are concerned I am now within a healthy range. Its taken 10 weeks to lose 18lb, and for once I am very proud of myself.
Wonder if MIL will notice at sils wedding on Saturday? :rolleyes: :D

Good loss Leanne :littleangel: .

Only two working weeks to go until I have two weeks annual leave :jump for joy: . DH and I are going camping the first weekend, in North Wales. We are going to walk Mount Snowdon :eek: .

My weight loss is still stuck, still at least I have not put it back on. I am now trying hard to loss a few pounds before we go and have been walking more in the evenings.

[mama2three]

How are you all doing ladies , been quiet on here for a while!

Im still here and lost 1/2 lb this week , not great but actually a pleasant surprise after a weekend of chips and vodka! ( was away for dhs 40th).

2 1/2 weeks til we go on holiday so am being strict with myself now and hopefully wont be the one hiding in my towel in embarrasment for the first time in years!

Leanne , Mary , Jelly , how are you all getting along? Actually just realised Jelly you may be currently up a mountain! Enjoy yourself x

[samb]

I had been doing ok but last week of school there were loads of picnics etc to go to and this week we've been having picnics every day too - Lunch is my down fall and eat things like bread that is not so good on slimming world diet. Unfortunately I have managed to much my way through a lot of chocolate too "incase they melt" lol! :(

[jelly15]

Actually just realised Jelly you may be currently up a mountain! Enjoy yourself x

Walked up Snowdon on Monday, weather was good so we had a stunning view from the highest point in all of Wales and England. Took a challenging path and we did it in good time (3 hours up and 3 back down). My body feels like it has had its hardest work out ever, but I would do it again tomorrow if I could.

Still stuck at the same weight, need to get serious about the diet again.

Bet you can't wait for your hols Mama where are you off to?

[The Juggler]

aargh picnics are the worst. i've started packing myself hard boiled eggs then I pick at the tomatoes, cucumber, olives and sausages (yummy) and leave the bread alone .

[mama2three]

Sam , ive started doing everyone a seperate lunchbox , including myself , rather than one big picnic. It means I only pack up what Im happy to eat - often lots of fruit and crunchy veg ect , rather than picking at the things I know I shouldnt just because they are there!

Jelly - I bet youre so fit and toned though , *** the scales they dont matter really do they , just a number ! Ive lost weight but am still so unfit and even the wobbly bits have wobbly bits! Havent even managed to get to zumba for almost a month :( and theres you mountain climbing! ...Glad you had a great holiday though!

We go to Santa Ponsa in Majorca - do you know what Im looking forward to maybe being able to sit in the sun a little while without feeling like , and resembling a defrosting...( insert your own frozen product here!!) ( you wouldnt want the image in your head I was picturing!)

:D

[Leanne59]

Hello!
I have had a hard few weeks, with my car been damaged,dealing with insurance, difficult parents for holiday care, mindee bumped head with swing (felt awful small bruise,) my son teething, passport application being sent back. arrgg

so I'm scared of weighting myself it will be bad i know. I'm an emotional eatter!

but on the plus side i had a lovely day yestaday at soft play with my children and little lo's with out the older holiday kids.We had a picnic on the field next to it, played football, Frisbee etc. I received some lovely comments from other parents saying how good I was with the children and how good the children were too! (she even brought me a coffee out to keep me going!!!!)
I also had visits from two new parents and children that start in September and sorted the paper work out!

spinning and circuit training tonight! Diet start again today1 four weeks till the christening and counting!

Jelly glad you had a lovely up your mountain!:D
well done mama2three for your loss!
I agree with juggler I need to leave bread alone, its is evil!! but I love it!!:D

[samb]

Yes you are right of course! I am using picnics etc as an excuse. I should be more organised. I just end up thinking so much about trying to give the kids something varied, healthy and filling that I end up grabbing sandwiches too. Well done on the mountain climbing!

[maryp0ppins]

Hello ladies :waving:

I'm still here mama2three:thumbsup:

I have been maintaining most weeks which is OK. I got back off my holiday yesterday so goodness knows what the scales will read on Wednesday as I have eaten lots, ice creams, doughnuts, fish & chips, etc etc etc the list goes on BUT I did enjoy my holiday.

As soon as I got back yesterday I unpacked, sorted the kids out put my first load of washing on & did my Insanity workout dvd :littleangel: & had a nice ham salad with jacket potatoe so at least I've come back in the right frame of mind :D

[jelly15]

Glad you had a great holiday Mary. You are so good to do your DVD straight away, it would take me days before I dragged myself out of the post holiday slump.

[maryp0ppins]

Hi jelly, I had to make myself do it I thought start as I mean to go on :D

[The Juggler]

i'm dead impressed marypoppins! well done I'd be up for putting my feet up after unpacking :laughing: :laughing:

mind you we are staying with friends this year and she's making me take my trainers so she can take me to bootcamp over there :eek: :eek: wouldnt' be so bad but she does it in all weathers and this week it's 37 degrees there :panic: :panic: oh well, few extra pounds I can drink or eat in the evening eh!

[jelly15]

Back to normal today after two weeks off, that includes the diet.

[mama2three]

well done for getting straight back on your diets! Hope I can be so determined after my holidays.
Flying off tomorrow for 2 weeks - fully expect to return half a stone heavier too!

[maryp0ppins]

Have a fab holiday mama :thumbsup:

I put half on this week :blush: ....I have gone off track big time during this school holidays :(

Gone from 9.7 to 9.10 :panic: :panic: I just cannot get a grip :angry:

[Leanne59]

Morning ladies!

I have some good news!

I may have only lost a stone (current weight 10st) but I ordered some clothes in the next/Dorothy Perkins sale for next year when I go to Menora and i can fit in to a size 10! I haven't worn a size 10 since before my ds1 was birth 5yrs ago!

I've been doing my spinning and circuit training every week and i can do around 30+ laps of the gym and other exercises in an hours with out stopping!.

I have bought the insanity workout video and its amazing! I've started that the week and lovely it!

so thanks for your kind words and encouragement! xxx

[mama2three]

Hello all , how are you doing?

Im maintaining within a couple of pounds , but worrying that with the winter ahead and comfort food and baggy jumpers it will all creep back on. Definitely already starting to slip back into a few old habits:( without the thought of a swimsuit looming!)

Are you all still losing? Dont want to be the one heading in the opposite direction ! x

[jelly15]

Stick at it Mama :clapping: .I have put on loads all my clothes are tight , too scared to go on the scales :blush:

buy yourself a gorgeous outfit for a christmas night out or two and that will give you the inspiration :thumbsup:

you can do it girls. remember you all started in January, when it was cold and dreary and we were all wearing loads of layers and you still succeeded :thumbsup:

[mama2three]

thanks juggler and jelly..
I started in may after months of the usual ' diet starts on monday...' spiel , all my dieting has been over the summer months really.
Ive been attempting to be good about 4 days out of 7 and eat what i like ( within reason) on the other days. Seems to be working so far .
I guess Im still slightly stunned that Ive actually managed to lose what I wanted to this time and now happily sit around 9 stone ( only 5'1'') - but the original buzz of losing each week , coupled with the drifting off of all those lovely comments you get , and the waining support at home - I worry my willpower will go into hibernation!
Nice to be able to voice this on here so thanks for listening! Cant really talk about it at home as dh thinks Im obsessed and Im sure friends will think im fishing for compliments iyswim.
Blimey , cant believe Im moaning still after losing!!!!!:blush: Guess some people are never happy eh?

I think maintaing your goal weight is as hard, if not harder than losing the weight in the first place.

I have still been doing my long walks up small mountains and along the costal path, I just am eating a lot :blush: . I am feeling motivated after seeing the new posts on this thread though.

Christmas is on the horizon IYKWIM ;)

[maryp0ppins]

Hi ladies, Not been on forum for a while now but noticed this thread is dying slightly.....

Last week I came back from a lovely holiday in Tenerife where I ate and drank loads & didn't give two hoots BUT came back & cannot get my eating habit under control.

My weigh-in 3 weeks ago was 2lbs up from my goal weight :angry: so I am well and truly dreading tonights weigh-in.

Think I need some kind of miracle to get me out of this rut I'm in :panic:

listen hon, 2lbs is nothing. seriously I go up and down by at least 2 or 3 pounds each week depending on nights out, weekend functions etc. as long as you keep it within 4-5 lbs and if it hits that - take action - go back to 100% strict.

See what it says and think well I'm only xx over. I managed to lose tons of weight this way so I can shift these few pounds easily :thumbsup:

[mama2three]

Completely agree with Juggler - whats 2lb when you lost so much! i havent got my eating properly under control since returning from holiday either - and that was weeks ago now! Im still manageing to stay at around goal - but a pound or 2 either side and Im happy and just adapt a bit the next week.

[maryp0ppins]

Thanks ladies......:blush: :blush: I didnt go last week, very bad I know but I have spoke to the lady who runs the classes & even she said finish this week & start a fresh THIS wednesday.

I am gonna go in as if it's my first weigh-in and be good from now on. I even made 2 slimming world meals yesterday & froze them ready for during the week. I need to think XMAS = little black dress ;) hopefully this will help me :thumbsup:

[maryp0ppins]

jelly15, mamma2three, the juggler etc etc....How are you all getting on?

I've not managed to get on much of late, just wondered how you are all doing, in general not just weight wise :)

[mama2three]

Hi Mary , lovely to see this thread having a post!
Im fine I think - except the car died today , but never mind!
Stayed pretty much the same weight too - Im sure all that will change with xmas looming! Must admit its been nice to wear dresses on the couple of occasions Ive been out without feeling like the fat frump in the corner!!
How are you? x

oh no! hope you are ok jelly. how's it going for you. I have an operational and painless, but seriously ugly looking ankle, running to zumba in the dark and fell of the edge of a pavement.:laughing: :laughing:

I am celebrating. just gone past 1 year of maintaining my ideal weight. took me 10 years to get there but have kept it off for a year, no hassles, no willpower, just lovely, healthy food and lots of it (which i love) and wine and chocs to boot. I absolutely adore the day I discovered gym junkies :D

[maryp0ppins]

I'm good thanks (apart from this silly tickly cough & sore throat)....

Well weight wise Ive put on around 5-6 lbs from my goal weight but I can cope with that. I'm finding it extremely hard now the weather is rubbish, but I'm gonna see Xmas through in style & start afresh in Jan....
With not as much to loose this time around I'm hoping it wont be so hard going.


Merry Christmas to all the "fat fighting club" :D
