DIS DIETERS THREAD ~ w/c 18th April '11

[mandymouse]

Hey Guys

Welcome to another week of dieting. So, how are you coping with the Easter holidays ? Personally I always find it harder when the kids are off school/college as there always seems to be someone eating goodies around me. I've already told everyone that they're not getting Easter Eggs, so I've slipped them all a few dollars instead, so we don't have the temptation around us

Well done to everyone who lost or STS last week ..

.. hugs to those of you who put on last week, fingers crossed for a loss this week ..

.. and Good Luck with this weeks weigh-ins everyone

it's the exercise I miss when the children are off school - we always walk to school which means I clock up a couple of miles twice a day. I know I could go for a walk anyway but I need to have a destination, I can't just walk for the sake of it! My days are also more structured. I'll weigh in on Wednesday as usual but I don't hold out much hope really! Good luck to everyone.

Hi Everyone *waves*

I've not been here for a while, i started the year well, then went away for a wee break at the end of February and lost it from then (quietly fading into the background on this thread too!!)

Think this warm weekend past has made me realise its pretty much summer - gave me a kick to get back into it again and hopefully be motivated til at least September for my holidays.

So hopefully i'll be hear much longer this time.

Good luck this week everyone, i've told my mum and dbf not to buy me an easter egg this year, and if i do get tempted ill just have something little!

Hi

Hope you don't mind me joining in this thread!

I've been dieting since January through Weight Watchers alongside running and cycling for exercise.

Have been lucky to lose or STS every week but am in London for the bank holiday weekend so this could be my first bad week coming up!

I weigh in on a Monday and lost 1.5 pound this week taking my total weight loss to 30.5 pounds.

Still want to lose another 1-2 stone though in time for my med cruise in August!

Sam

not a good week for me, i have let myself slip over the last week as i am in full blown holiday mode lol! i have managed to gain 2lb this week, so cross with myself but at the same time i only have myself to blame as i ate food off my diet plan and 2 easter eggs , i was hoping to lose it this week but then oh suggested a curry takeaway last night so i doubt i will, but we shall see - def not enjoying the kids easter hols as although dd is too young for school all our playgroups are on a break which means i am not keeping as busy as i should so i am getting bored and snacking so looking forward to next week as all our groups are back on but there is also a royal wedding street party during the week and then i am off to my firends for a royal wedding party on friday and there will be lots of yummys at both so its not looking good! but i cant wait to get to disney as after 6 months of dieting i will official be eating what i like for 2 weeks on the ddp and i will enjoy every mouthful and then do the hard work when i am home! good luck for everyone eles' weigh ins x

 

[loobzuk]

HELP!!!!

Another 2lbs in the wrong direction. I know it's me that put's the food in my mouth but it was going so well and then it's all gone wrong this month. Must try harder!

Mrs Stonfiesta - I found that school holidays were much worse before the children were at school - I used to dread them back then. Now they're both at school I actually appreciate the time with them more

Sorry that you have both gained this week girls, the school holidays are a nightmare when you're dieting, there's just too much temptation around Good luck for next week, I hope you can get back on track once the kids are back at school

I am very relieved to say that even after enjoying a couple of (not so skinny) Lattes and a delish lemon cupcake in Costa yesterday, I have STS this week. I have struggled this week, especially as I've only got two zumba classes (instead of the usual 3) and there's only one next week, and of course with my girls off from college, it seems like temptation is everywhere

So my vital statistics remain for a 3rd week

LSF 14lbs + STS = - OneStone

Well done to everyone who has lost or STS this week and ..

.. hugs to anyone who has put on

.. and Good Luck over the next week guys,
