Lost 1/2lb this week. Not a great start but better off than on.

Well done everyone of you big losers!!

Twinkleberry, your dress is absolutely beautiful!! ... and the difference between the two photos is incredible!!

I lost 1lb, since last Monday - not too bad as I had oven chips last night and creamy sauce with veggies, for a treat on Saturday ....

I did pay some attention to what I was eating this past week but very seriously.

However.

I stood on the scales the first time in a month. A month ago I was 76 kilos, and now I am 79. I felt I was putting on weight - comfort eating and not moving at all - but this number made me scared really.

OK, these scales that I have at home are not very reliable. Last year I used to go to a pharmacy every week and weigh myself on their electronic scales. I have to find a similar place near my new flat.

Now I am really determined. I need to get back in shape by the time I am going to Sweden - mid July, it seems.

Well done everybody, on your losses this week.

Twinkleberry, I love your dress and what an incredible difference between the two photos! I bet you were so pleased with yourself.

One more week and I will be joining in.

Weigh day today and I lost a pound again. I suppose I should be pleased but i seem totally incapable of losing anymore than that and I am being soooooo good!.

Wow Twinkleberry your dress is stunning,you don't look like the same person.

Well done to those that have lost weight

I have been good still doing the walking,even went early in the morning,at the week end because it was going to be really hot and knew that i wouldn't go in the evening.And doing alot around the garden,so hopefully i might have shifted abit myself.

I suppose I should have said when I started this thread, that although I am on this long term to lose a significant amount of weight I have a short term deadline looming too.
My partner's daughter is getting married on July 10th and it is going to be a big do. She is lovely but her and all her family including her mum, who I have only met once, are all really slim and stunning. I am going to feel the frumpy outsider. I have bought my dress already but would love to be a bit slimmer for the day.
I guess that is why I am so frustrated at a pound a week off as July is speeding towards us. After the wedding I will be quite happy with a pound a week!

Well done to everyone who has lost weight

Liz I understand what you mean about the wedding but I am sure whatever your weight you will look lovely, try not to worry about anyone else and just enjoy the day My son gets married in August and I am feelng a bit like that as I have loads to lose but I can only try and stay positive good luck.

I weighed in today and have lost 1lb it's a start

I also do what Dawn and Sarah suggest save £1 for every lb I lose and when I resist buying choc bar or cake put that money away too, ready for my next stash buying session

Well done everyone, you're an inspiration to me!
You look fantastic Twinks.
Minij, you'll look great on the big day. 1lb is a great start!

Liz, I really understand how you feel. I always feel the fat frumpy one next to my lovely slim friends, but I bet all everyone else see's at the wedding is the lovely person you are. they probably won't even think about weight, but'll see how much the colour or style of your outfit suits you. A big beaming smile will be your best accessory! A smile always lights the person up.

Just keep on going Liz, every pound off is a pound nearer your goal.

I've been a bit naughty the last couple of days. Not had anything terrible, but not really stuck to the diet plan as I should. I'm stupid!
Will get myself right back on track pronto ... a couple of good should do the trick!

I lost 1.5lb

So my total so far = 14lb ...which means...

I"VE LOST A STONE

I think it helped this week (tho it wasn't a good thing otherwise) that I have both of my bottom wisdom teeth coming through and the one got a little swollen and infected and I had to go on antibiotics etc ... But it also put me off food slightly! oh, the pain when I accidentally chewed on that side!!

Touch wood its clearing up now, but hopefully I'll be able to keep it going and not just eat everything in sight just because I can!!

So I've got 5.5lb to go til I get my 10%, and just under 2.5 stone until goal.... Hmmm well at least I'm a little bit closer

YAY!!!

Congratulations!

Congrats to all the losers I'm getting weighted in early this week as I'm working tomorrow night so I'll let you know how I get on though I do think it won't be well as its been a bit of a odd week this week :s

well done!!!
im wondering whats gonna happen this week too not been overly naughty but have had some icecream well if i dont lose this week i wont kick myself 'coz i have had a really good past few weeks

Well done Twinks! That's brilliant, to be able to say you've lost a stone!!


Hope it's a good weigh in for you tonight Dawn.

I really don't know how to do this I have such severe acid problems again, my mouth always tastes sour and I feel I need to eat something... it's terrible, really.
Also, with this cold, headache and the rainy weather there is not much hope of having much exercise. I try to cut down on sweets, but couldn't exclude them totally yet. Well, I think I will have to be grateful if I don't put on any more this week.

I skipped group as I couldn't be bothered with it today but I got weighed in at 1 and I maintained.

Not a gain so I'm counting it as a good thing

Well done Twinkleberry on reaching a stone. That is a real achievement. Keep up the good work!

exactly the same as last week, i put in 0% effort

I think I am two persons, one wants to lose more weight and the other cant be bothered to put in the effort.

I had weight loss surgery almost 18 months ago and was told i would lose 50 to 70% of my excess weight in 2 years. Well, i hit the 50% mark okay, but after that I was told if i didn''t exercise and watch what i ate, then i wouldn''t lose any more...well damn that doctor..he is right.

Okay, will try and be a bit more mindful of what i shove in my gob this week.

1 lb down this week.....many more to go.

Well done, JenEric
