Dis Health Check-in 21st February

[mandymouse]

Hi Guys

Hope that you are all feeling fit and well. So how is everyone doing these days ? If you started your diet on Monday 3rd January (like me) you have been dieting for 7 weeks and I was wondering how much in total you have lost and how long it is till you reach your goal.

This past week (after my disasterous drinking weekend in Manchester last weekend) I have lost 1lb, taking my total to 11lb in 7 weeks. I now weigh 9st 9lb and I have 11 weeks to try to lose that 9lb.

I hope that everyone has had a good week, but with this cold weather and the threat of snow, it makes me want to eat Jaffa Cakes and anything with chocolate on, but I know I must resist the temptation.

Good luck

Well I don't know how I've managed to do it but I stayed the same this week. Considering I've been totally off the rails since Wednesday night I was very surprised when I got on the scales and saw that I hadn't gained anything. No doubt it will come back to haunt me this week so I'll have to try extra hard at the gym and be good. It should be easier this week, now that we've eaten all the Hershey bars, and the Oreos, oh and the that were in the freezer
I've still lost 11lbs so far but my ultimate goal is that far away that I need a to reach it! I set myself little goals, the next one being another 3lbs to take me to my 1 stone mark. I'm also tracking my Body Mass Index which has come down by over 1 point. My BMI goal is to get out of the 'Oh my God, I'm going to die, morbidly obese' range!
So, my cupboards are stocked with Ryvita, mineral water and low fat yogurt, my gym bag is packed, and I'm ready to go.
Good luck everyone and well done to everyone.

Hi guys

Well after not losing anything last week, I've certainly made up for it this week. I've lost a further 5 pounds, taking my total to 23 pounds - 1 stone 9 lbs in 6 weeks. Been walking everywhere this week - kids think I've lost the plot!!! But it's been worth it!!

Only 5 weeks till we go away, so I want to lose at least another 12 lbs before then.

Everyone is doing so well -

Michelle - yes the Roast Chicken ones are devine!!!! Not seen any prawn cocktail ones yet....

i lost 1 1/2 lb this week taking my total loss to 8 1/2lb in six weeks

Wow, some brilliant losses there

I know what you mean Shellbell, I think the weight would fall off me if I just exercised, but I just can't get motivated. Hopefully when the weather warms up I'll go for a jog or I'll get my workout video out nearer to my holiday

As we were away last week I ate very badly but it doesn't seem to have had too bad an effect (phew!!) and am back to my usual low fat routine this week.

I also know I need to motivate myself to exercise - when I lost 6 stone in the past it was a combination of diet and exercise. I just can;t seem to motivate myself though I have to do stuff "inside" as DH goes to work in the evenings so I am confined to the house with my DDs and I just can't work up any enthusiasm for an exercise video at the moment. My favourite are step videos and some by a woman called Susan Powter, anyone else do this?

PS has anyone tried the new snack a jacks in prawn cocktail

Oh my God I need these I need these I need these I need these where can I get them?!!!

Perhaps we should start a "Where in the UK have you spotted Prawn Cocktail Snackajacks?" thread, Cath?

 

[mandymouse]

Maybe you'll find them in B & Q with the polystyrene ceiling tiles (yuck !!)

I got these in boots in town. they are sooo nice.....mmmmm i would like to try the roast chicken ones now. I have seen both of these advertied in asda's monthly magazine. I'm going over this morning to do my shopping so i will be asking why advertise if you don't sell them
