well done lorna thats amazing!! what diet are you doing and how long has it taken?
well, if you kind ladies will have me, im back in..have 12 weeks to do this, need a kick up the butt, everything keeps going pear shaped (sick uncle, flooded kitchen i could go on but it s depressing) and all these are just excuses to confort eat... i have started (again) today and will no doubt bore you senseless but for the next 12 weeks your stuck with me
so my little dieting buddies...lets do this

Well done.

Wow 5 stone is amazing! How long has it taken you to lose?

Hope you get your 1lb next week.

I started in September. My youngest started school and I realised that I couldn't use the "I've just had a baby" excuse for my enormous fattness anymore

Hi All, Only had time tonight to check up on everyones progress from last week, but it seems like you all had some great results! I lost 5 pounds this week, so I've now lost over a stone at WW in 5 weeks (15.7lb to 14.5and1/2). I really can't believe it!
Still a long way to go until my I get to within my healthy BMI (the highest part of that is 12.11), but I've never lost weight this fast before. I think it's the fact I can still have a drink and some chips when I want, just making sure I have smaller portions by counting the points. Can't be doing with rabbit food 7 days a week!
I hope everyone has a good week! x

Well done

I'm late in posting as I got weighed on Tuesday morning then headed straight up to Manchester for the night where we went to see the fabulous Peter Kay.

Anyway I lost another lb this week, which i'm quite pleased with as i've had a very stressful few weeks and in the past I know I would have totally gone off the rails & probably lost the plot for months but i've managed to keep on it & am still losing.

Good luck everyone for this week & month.

Fantastic Claire How was Peter Kay?

5 1/2lbs off for me!

You must be really pleased with this result

I've just weighed in, and I'm chuffed to have lost 2lbs this week. Just 1 more pound to go to reach my 9st 7lbs target

Well done Mandy

Hope you are having a great birthday weekend

1lb on for me this week. Not too dismayed as I went to the theatre on Wednesday with a friend and ended up in a Mexican restaurant scoffing fajitas and swigging margaritas - as you do!!!

Oh yummy, I love Mexican

Managed to change my weigh in day to a Friday so 1.5lb off for me this week.

Good luck everyone for next week - remember it's nearly Bikini season!

My bikini days are looooong gone
Well done on losing this week

Well 2 weeks since I weighed in, I missed last week as we were away camping. Well the good news is that I lost 5lbs over the 2 weeks, looks like the new exercise regime is paying off. Here's hoping for another loss next week. Well done to those who lost or STS and good luck to those of you still to weigh in.

Fantastic

Me? Bikini???? Never!

Well done on 1.5lbs.

Thats fab Steve.

Fantastic Claire How was Peter Kay?

Well done you are doing so well.

Peter Kay was absolutely fantastic, I haven't laughed that much in such a long time. From start to finish it was proper belly laughs & tears streaming down my face.

 

[Dollyrar]

Well done folks, you've all been doing very well this week! Just think how good we''ll all look in our cossies this summer!

Pixie Power - Well done, great result!

Higgy66 - Being designated driver is a very boring but good way to stop those extra booze pounds slipping on I guess!

tiring_day - Well done mate! I'm also stepping up the exercise now that it's a bit more tolerable outside, it definitely makes a difference

Pinky166 - Well done for a good week. I'm a bugger for eating when the stress kicks in too, but it just goes to show that if the willpower is there you can make it through to the other side relatively unscathed!

Netty - Wow, monster result! Well done!

Mandy - Excellent news re: your target! Hope you hit it out of the park this week!

Custardtart - Well done on the loss, but you've really made me want some Nachos right now!!

To anyone else I've missed, all the best this coming week! xx

 

[natalielongstaff]

Week two ! good luck everyone

 

[mandymouse]

Good Luck with your weigh-ins this week everyone

 

[Dollyrar]

This week was the first week where I've actually put weight on. Only 1 and a half lb, but it's still a bit disheartening. I've done everything the same as the last 5 weeks, and have even done more exercise than normal this week so I'm just hoping it's an anomaly.
Oh well, thinking long term so will see what next week brings
Good luck to all the rest of you guys this week!

 

[natalielongstaff]

So sorry you have had a gain !! its very hard to see why that happens sometimes. i hope you have a good loss next week to make up for it

sorry to hear you had a gain

not sure why but sometimes when youre dieting, when you stick to the same things esp foods your body gets used to them.
try to eat a few different foods that you dont normally eat. summer fruits are starting to come into season so should be cheaper to buy eg strawberries/ rapsberries. these are great foods. Fresh Grapefruit is a great fat burning food, perhaps try to add it to your day.
good luck for this week.xxx

That's a shame. I am sure you will lose it & more next week.

I hate it when you don't know why you've sts, keep at it & i'm sure it will show next week.

I forgot to say that I couldn't go to my weigh in this morning as I am unble to leave my dog at home alone following his operation. It has once again been a worrying week for me but I have tried to stay on it so hopefully I will have a good loss next week.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks Nat. Thankfully he is slowly showing signs that he is starting to get better although now I am really starting to stress about the lab results. I'll be glad when we know one way or another.

Well 2 weeks since I weighed in, I missed last week as we were away camping. Well the good news is that I lost 5lbs over the 2 weeks, looks like the new exercise regime is paying off..

That's a great result, Steve!

Me? Bikini???? Never!

Did I hear the sound of a challenge being extended?????!!! Only joking - I'm not a bikini fan either...

That's a shame but it's bound to be just a blip for both of you - have a good week...

You're doing marvellously with what you've been thro' lately, Claire so well done to you!!! I'm sure next week will bring a great result...

I promise not to get disheartened if you won't

Sometimes it's not about what the scales say each week I guess. It's how your clothes fit better, and the fact that you know you're getting healthier. Think of all the other benefits you're getting by exercising as well, including those lovely happy chemicals running round your brain

 

[fav_is_tink]

1lb on for me this week. Not too dismayed as I went to the theatre on Wednesday with a friend and ended up in a Mexican restaurant scoffing fajitas and swigging margaritas - as you do!!!

Good luck for the upcoming weight watching week, everyone!!!

I'm sure you'll soon rectify that Best of luck

Hopefully it'll be off, plus a bit more next week

Good luck to everyone else

STS is better than a gain, good luck for your next weigh in

Good luck everyone.

Totally know what you are going through

 

[CustardTart]

Morning, my fellow losers!!!

Decided to weigh-in a day earlier this week as my DH and I are off out later for a day in the West End which will most certainly include a 3 course lunch and wine!!!

So, I'm pleased to report that this week I have lost 1.5lbs so am now 0.5lb under goal!!!

Good luck to everyone who is left to weigh-in this week!!!

PS: I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this thread - I don't attend classes or anything like that so posting here really gives me a focus. I'm now at a weight that I'm happy with and feel great - this thread has been a big part of that. So a huge thank you to Nat for keeping it going...
