DIS Dieters thread - 15th/30th November

[mandymouse]

It's Monday again, and time for another week of dieting Christmas is creeping up on us and I'd just like to lose a few more pounds just so I can have a total blow out on the big day

Well done to everyone who lost of STS last week

Hugs to anyone who may have put on, and really can't get into the swing of dieting with it being so cold (I totally understand, it's hard to see any changes when you're having to wear big warm clothes and jeans) I hope you get back on track soon

And Good Luck to us all with our weigh-ins this week

I hope we all have a good week

I weighed in on Friday and had STS, I am so busy at the moment I have decided to just try and Maintain by sticking to my gym routine etc but not worring too much about the scales until after Christmas and then go for it big time in January.

good luck to everyone this week

Well done on STS Rachel

I think a lot of people are thinking that way too. I know all I can think about is the meals that I will be having with friends and family over the next 6 weeks and I can't see how I'll STS never mind lose as we get into December ~ I am looking forward to the party season though

Good luck at maintaining hun

I havent been THAT naughty since we came back from holiday and in the last 2 weeks I have put on 8lb

So its back into the gym for me most days and chicken and veg for tea every night too (how difficult is it to get up at 6am when its icy and dark outside )

Looking for 2lb a week for the next 3 weeks to get me happy again

Good luck everyone this week - just think of all those healthy soups and stews you can have in this cold weather!

Good luck at getting back on track Katie, I don't envy you having to get up early for the gym. I hope you reach your mini target in no time

I got on the scales this morning and my weight varied from 9st 4lbs to 10st 7lbs, something tells me I need a new battery

When I weighed in yesterday morning I had lost 2lbs this week, but I have to be honest, I had a bad day yesterday which included a Milky Way, Pringles and half of hubby's chippy chips, so I'm not really sure how accurate that weight loss is

As there are so few of us posting our weight at the moment, I will keep this thread open till 1st December, then I will post a December thread, and then in the New Year I will go back to posting a weekly thread

Good luck for your weigh-ins next week guys

Weighed in this morning and I have STS this week. Starting new gym next week so hope the push of a new regime helps me with a bit more loss.

Good luck to all for next week

Well its a 2Lb loss for me this week

Did a load of baking this weekend - but did manage to put all of it in the freezer for Xmas before eating it!

Have a night at pizza express on Wednesday but hoping to stay on the short and narrow for the next couple of weeks

Good luck to every one this week - the more we lose in the next couple of weeks the more room we have to "play" with over Christmas.

BE PREPARED!!!

Shop with healthy eating in mind and prepare lunches & dinner the night before so you're not tempted to eat cr*p if you have nothing else.
I know its a pain but it only takes 5 minutes to chop up an apple/pineapple (for that sweet fix) and some carrots to snack on during the day.
If you take lunch/dinner with you, you will be less tempted to buy last minute sandwiches/microwave food from the supermarket.
If you can, dont eat carbs after 6pm - fill your plate with meat and lots of veggies
Use the extra light cheese triangles instead of butter in baked potatos, use less sauces - ie ketchup as they are full of suger.
If you have a free day, make a batch of dinners so you always have something in the freezer.
Make your own muesli so you know whats in it.

I know its difficult - but where you can make good choices - i have learnt to only take one biscuit from the tin rather than a handful and have learnt that I CAN say no to afternoon cake! It IS really hard, but it is worth it.
If I really want some chocolate/cake I will have some, I enjoy it and dont feel guilty about it - but I would if I did it every day!
Try to up your exercise 2/3 days a week - can you take a half hour walk in your lunch hour twice a week?

Aim for 2lb a week and you will be losing fat rather than water - a big loss will generally only be water. Stick with it - if you have a bad day get right back on it the next day so the week isnt a wash out. Hang up in your bedroom something you'd like to wear at Xmas - this will be your reminder for the day that that extra biscuit really ISNT worth it!

GOOD LUCK and for it!

Hugs to you Jeanette.

Well done to those who have lost or STS this week. For those that are struggling or gained just keep at it as you will get there, one bad day does not need to be one bad week. It is hard but "just keep swimming" ....er I mean slimming.

I've had a few months where I was really struggling but I managed to keep a lid on it by still getting weighed each week, thankfully I only gained 2lbs across those two months. I finally seemed to have turned a corner & have been back on it since last Thursday. I got weighed this morning & have lost 3 lbs.

Unfortunately I won't be weighing in next Tuesday as I am in DLRP for 3 days but up until I go & as soon as I get back I am going to be good as I want to hit my next target before christmas......I want to lose five & a half pounds which will get me to my next mini target.

Good luck everyone.

Sorry Andrea, I don't know anything about it but I wanted to send you a big hug, it's hard to diet when it's cold and you're wearing loads of layers so wouldn't see any weight loss anyway

I hope you get back on track soon hun x

Hi Girls

Im so sorry I havent been around, I have well and truly fell off the dieting wagonI had been doing so well, and I do get very annoyed with myself when I give up. Ive lost a total of 1 stone and 1lb, but my motivation has gone.

Ive had a very busy week and have eaten on the go which is no good at all, and Im dreading getting on the scales as I can already feel my clothes starting to get tighter and the bloated feeling come back again.

I will be along to encourage you all until Christmas and then I will start again in the new year, I just know its no good me saying I will try again before because I know I wont

Well done everyone who has lost and stayed the same for the past couple of weeks and good luck to you all for the next week xxxx

I'm doing WW Pro Plan.....but not very well...I'm also putting on

.....the trouble is, when I feel sorry for myself I eat Chocolate

I think I'm just a bit scared of it and lost my motivation....sending you a big hug....you can do it
