hi all, well i have a confession to make, i have gained 1lb but to be honest it's not a surprise as i have eaten some rather naughty food this week.

never mind, i'll see what this week brings.

now 16 st 0lb (224 lbs)

good luck any one else who's trying INCLUDING YOU GINGER!!!!!

Well another hard week of dieting and nothing to show for it :angry: I have been strict all week regarding my food intake and yet, this morning I jumped on the scales and still I weighed the same as 2 weeks ago...I will persist though...I AM going to lose the weight that I want to...I will not give up. So, today I was still 10 stone 9 pounds....149 pounds for the non brits.

Oh well, roll on next week...in saying that I shall be on holiday next week so I may have to weigh in early....Friday morning will be my next weigh in.

How is everyone else doing?

Lloydy...a blip in one week should be ok...and as you know why you went up that at least makes it acceptable...good luck for next week. :)

thank u jane! .. u can do it1 im surprised i managed to lose any weight because my underactive thyroid keeps my metabolism low but i think coming off the mirtazipine has helped. also iv been drinking a soya smoothie with protein powder every day and it really fills me up so thats helped too.. its from holland and barrett and has spirulina and vitamins and fibre in it to fill u up. hugs ivy xx

OMG Stu you sound just like me dad :lol:.

Keep at it you dieters, i am still trying to find the motivation and will power at the moment, i have gone so big and have not been this big in a long time - i hate it just need to get into the mood to do something about it. However at the moment i have a stinking cold so i am not even going there on the diet front. Anyway what am i on about i don't need to diet i just need to be 6 foot tall :lol:. Ok maybe not i wish but being taller would help lol.

Good luck and all keep at it, don't be deterred.

Well it is Sunday and I have weighed myself this morning.... :( 10 stone 11 pounds (151 pounds) ... that it 2 higher than the last time I weighed in a couple of weeks ago, but, I have just come back from a break...I WILL join weight watchers this week...and...I need a dog.

How is everyone else doing?

Congratulations Lloydy...I can't do gyms...I don't like doing anything in public...well not in an enclosed space..I don't like cycling alone...that is why dog walking is so effective...you are with your best pal.

If you can't have your own dog at the moment cos your out too much why not volunteer to walk dogs at the local animal shelter

I'm sure you'll burn zillions of calories walking them, and be really doing them a favour cos it gets them socialised and ready for new homes as well as getting em out of their kennels

Just a thought

Zarah...that is not a bad idea and one that I have toyed with. I live about 5 miles away from the local dogs home, but, I am worried that I will fall in love with them all and want to bring them home. I am hoping to have another pup this year...I lost the last one in August...I am just waiting for the breeder to tell us when the puppies are due. One day I still may volunteer to help out with the dogs...I love being around them. Since I stopped walking my dog I have put on nearly 2 stone...and...it is going to come back off...I hate being big now. :angry:

Kirsty, I shall look forwards to hearing how you are getting on.

Jane :)

well Im 12st exactly, 1lb more than when this thread started lol

But, huge appetite from starting new meds has calmed down, also urge for sweet stuff, im back on fruit not cream cakes

Also bought some sports clothes for that martial arts group I keep banging on about joining...will get round to it eventually, know I dont just lose weight by looking at the clothes hanging up!

Good luck to y'all, whichever way you want the scales to go

Lloydy, youre putting me to shame; fair play to you!

oh join it rebecca!.. i do mixed martial arts and i love it! it is soooo good for my mental health!.. has helped with ptsd cos i feel i could defend myself and is fab for letting out anger and stress, and gets u so fit. i haven't been for a few weeks cos of my anaemia but shal go tonight. im probably going to have to hang back a belt cos iv missed so much so ill be a yellow belt for a bit longer.. please do it. ull love it! hugs ivy xx ps my weight loss is wierd.. its different every time i weigh myself. i go from 11 and a half stone to twelve.. i dont understand. so im going to judge it by my clothes size which is too big for a 16 but too small for a 14 so hopefully im heading in the direction of 14! iv pushed myself to excersise loads this week.. done 2 body combat classes, body pump, yoga and pilates classes.. thats loads! i shouldnt really cos im so wiped out with anaemia.. im having to spend the rest of the time in bed, but im so driven to get fit, tone up and get down to a size 12 again. so im pushing myself. i think the iron is starting to kick in though cos im a bit better this week. good luck all u slimmers this week! xxx

Lloydy, the fact that you are exercising and being careful with your food to me means that although you have not seen any weight loss this week...it will show in the next week or two.

Well done IP...7lbs I wish that I could say the same.

Me...well, I had a weeks holiday at the start of feb and my weight today was 10 stone 11lbs...151 pounds...this is not good as I was 149 lbs before my hols, I will try hard this week to shed a pound...I am joining Weight Watchers on wednesday...I have to start losing.

Good luck to everyone out there battling with their weight.

Jane :)

GingerJo.....I have just seen you online so I thought I would highlight the fact that your thread is still running. How are you doing? have you managed to lose any weight since Christmas - it is not important if you haven't though. I hope you are well we don't see much of you these days...unless it is just me who isn't noticing :o gosh I don't know now.

Take care anyway, Jane :)

Hello,

Glad this thread is still up and running and at the moment I am more of a fly by night fixture Jane. Sorry about all the inconsistency of my being.

I havent weighed myself for weeks and have been eating like a horse so doubtful there is any weight loss. However I have started playing squash again which is fun for me.

Anyway Take care all and keep losing that weight you lot.

Ginger
