DIS Dieters thread w/c 6th Sept

[mandymouse]

Welcome to our new weekly DIS Dieters thread, where I hope like the legend that is Mr 'Everone say huh!' Motivator we will encourage, motivate and hopefully congratulate each other when we lose, STS and eventually reach our targets

Personally I am one of those people who is always on a diet, but I don't really get into it properly until a month or two before my holiday

Well I've weighed in this morning and I've got about 9lbs to lose in just under 7 weeks My weigh-in day will be on a Friday, as I tend to do well in the week, then let myself down over the weekend

If you get a moment tell us about your dieting regime, what diet you're following and if you have any tips to keep the dreaded weight off, and if you wish to share with us how much you've lost and your target, then that will be great too

So all that's left for me to say is 'Good Luck with your weigh-ins everyone'

Good luck Mandy. I am sure you will get to your goal before your trip.

I weigh in every Tuesday at Slimming World & to be honest have struggled keeping on track since for the last 6 weeks or so but I gave myself a kick up the bum last week and have been good this week so hopefully I will have a loss tomorrow. I'll be back to report in then.

Good luck to everyone.

hi everyone, thanks for looking after us Mandy.

Im following SW, ive never been to a class and do it by myself.
Im also a member of a great SW support site that i use to keep me upto date with any plan changes.

I did lose loads for my trip to Florida last May but have been struggling since and gained most of it.

I restarted on Thursday-my weigh in days are Thursday.
I do have a lot to lose, so im just taking it a step at a time.

good luck everyone.xxx

I just wanted to pop on and wish you all good luck I know hard it is 2 years ago I started my diet I wanted to lose 30 lbs but went way over and lost 40 lbs I stuck to a calorie control diet I still kind of stick to it but not as strict now

 

[CustardTart]

I just had to sign in as I love the pic of Mr Motivator (aaah Derek, where are you now...?)

Thanks for starting the new thread, Mandy. I'm sure you'll get to your target by the hols, hun...

I'm hoping to lose a couple of pounds between now and Sept 18th as I'd like a little 'cushion' for all the cruise food I'm going to enjoy!!! I've got back to the gym (after a lengthy absence) and am eating super-sensibly (high protein, low carbs) in an attempt to reach my goal...

Good luck, sweetie!!! You've done brilliantly and I know you can keep up the good work...

That is so true!! I think my three should pay for a tummy tuck the havoc they've caused...

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its less than 5 weeks for us now....

I'd like to lose 5-8lb to give me some "eating" room whilst on holiday

I have been trying to lose 1/2 stone for several years now, despite much exercise and much being good. It doesnt seem to matter whether I exercise or not, eat and drink nothing or everything in sight, nothing happens!

I even did the Cambridge diet reasonable properly for 4 weeks and only lost 5 lb overall

I'm planning on really just eating less - and no carbs after work. I already exercise 4/5 days a week so will be trying to keep that up too.

Good luck everyone - this weekly thread will be great motivation.

Well, I've bitten the bullet and started my diet again today. I am an official yoyo dieter who leaves losing weight until the last minute!!

I have three months to go until my hols in Orlando and want to shop, so need to lose at least 2 stone, which is doable, given my size.

So no more chocolate, biscuits, cake, bread..... god, I wish I could just hibernate and lose weight

Plan to weigh when I want but not too often as it may discourage me.

Oh well, good luck everybody

You know what Ive just relaised that I still dont know how to Multi Quote posts, must learn how to do that

So I will start by saying good luck to everyone joining the new weekly diet thread, Im sure Mandy will keep us all in check

Good luck to all for your diets this week.

I've started mine today, I need to lose a min of 2 stone, so Im following a low fat, low calorie diet. Im also doing a 20min a day routine of Zumba, its a new dance exercise which looks easy but it moves almost every part of your body, so far Im loving it and the music is brilliant.

Good luck everyone

Good luck everyone

I'm following Weight Watchers and weigh every Wednesday....I've lost 31lb so far...but have a long way to go

I've spent the kids school holidays (7 weeks), going up and down....so cross with myself

Anyway I am getting myself back in gear. Today I got up early to exercise before work, only 30mins but want to stick to this every day...fingers crossed.

Our next trip to WDW is Sept 2011 and I want to be the lightest that I have ever been to the world.....maybe a tall order

goodluck guys x

Good luck Louise, I hope you find a suitable dvd, I can't recommend one as mine is just a homemade one of songs that I made up exercises to. The one Sue has just bought sounds like fun though

I have the Zumba DVDs, Sue - they're great aren't they?!! I love the shaker things - tho' I did catch my pup gnawing at one the other day so I guess I'm not alone!!

That sounds REALLY interesting, Jeanette! I totally agree with the philosophy as a very similar sort of approach has worked for me. It's taken a while but I finally know what I have to do to lose weight and keep it off... The very best of luck, hun - you can do it!!!

I think it is the hardest part....standing on the scales for the first time....but it made me feel like I was finaly taking control of my weight!!!!

My friend raves about the Davina DVD.....I'm not sure if you have one, but they do a great range on the Wii....I like EA Games active range

good luck
