Had my weight watchers weigh in just there, was down 1.5 pounds (Was surprised at that cos I stayed the same weight as last wk on my scales at home). Pretty chuffed at that cos I was sick with a cold this last week, didn't go for as many walks, and had a few treats at the weekend! Was good yesterday and Monday so I'd say that helped.
Thanks!
Well done on the loss! Goes to show that we can still have a little of what we want and lose! It's all about living life!
I've got my WI tonight I'm expecting to have put on a few pounds after the weekend away but if I do at least I know why.
Jwacqui, I can't believe the difference you don't look like the same person.
Best of luck with your weigh in!! Hope it goes well and if not at least u enjoyed yourself and there's a reason behind it!
Thanks! I do not feel like the same person!!Hi All,
Well could not believe it last night at WI that I was up 0.5lb, i know its not that much, but i have been seriously good, its very demotivating to be honest, thank god im off all choc, crisps, biscuits, basically anything thats bad for you for lent, or i def would have had a good bit! Just very frustrating. Went on loads of walks too, maybe its not enough. Heres hoping that next week I will have a better result.:o
Don't get down! Half a pound is nothing!! It's pretty much a sts! Your hard work will not go to waste! It always pays off! Trust me!!
Good luck next week!

Got to my meeting late cos was stuck in work so missed half of the talk but they had a lady in tonight who was only 6.5 lbs away from goal and had lost 5 stone in a year she looked fabulous!!
God its so motivating when you see that!
Slaygal how did you get on after your weekend away?? Im sure you saw that woman this evening if you were at the meeting.
Brainy neuron well done girl fair play to you!!!
Ergonomics it will be well gone by next week wait and see you will have your third silver seven!!
well done on an amazing loss!! 0 -
Hey guys, good stuff on the losses. And those who gained don't worry, just start over tomorrow and use the gain as motivation.
I gained 8.5 in 2-3 weeks there so went very strict this week and was down 4lbs. Very pleased as I worked very hard and exercised like a maniac, so glad it paid off. Just another 4.5 to go to get back to where I was and I wasn't happy there either but i'll worry about that when I get there (maybe after that shocking gain I will be happy enough back there )!!!! 0 -

Wow super motivation there! I'm so bad when I gain, I just want to give. Maybe this time round cos I'm logging on here it will be easier. I have to say, I know some of you gained yesterday and today, but I think you're all so great to come on here straight away and evaluate what went wrong and what you may need to do to lose again. So practical. I hope I can look at it that way when the inevitable happens!
Well done to everyone who lost. Its really exciting!
I lost 1 and a half pounds, this week, Week 2, so 6 and a half altogether. If I'm really, really good I'll have my silver seven next week!0 -
Hi all
I joined WW in Jan and lost 9 pounds.... Then didnt go for the last 4 weeks due to one thing and another.
Anyway bit the bullet and went back tonight and thought I had probably put on most of what I had lost and had only put on 1.5. Am delighted with that and am looking forward to getting stuck in again.
Everyone on here is great and the support and encouragment does help. So good luck everyone and I look forward to hearing all about your losses and ways of making WW work for you.
Aim this week is to add in walking... need to make it part of my routine :rolleyes:
ps. Jwaqui, great video again this week. Can beleive the difference in the clothes. Well done 0 -

Well done to everybody on their losses!! Amazing work! Keep it up! 0 -
Hello, I went up by 1.5 pounds but at least I know why. I had a great weekend.:)
Well done Shinners oh my god you've lost nearly a stone, WOW ! Tina was a real character and an amazing woman.
Jwacqui keep up your fantastic work, you're such an inspiration and a fantastic support.0 -

Thanks Jwacqui! I know its not much, but very frustrating, i seem to be down 2 or 1 lbs and then up a lb, its just very slow, but i suppose that is better, as i will hopefully keep it off for longer. I dont have a huge ammount of weight to lose either, just would love to get to my first stone, then just have one more to go!:rolleyes: I must say you are an inspiration, you have lost a huge amount of weight, you must feel like a different person, congrats. Must have been a great feeling to throw away all your old clothes too! Best of luck you too next week. heres hoping to a good week.;)0 -
Hi everyone,
Joined on 14th Jan, and have just lost my 1st STONE!!! Am thrilled and I have to say, I found it really easy... Like a switch has gone on in my head... I know the more I lose, the harder it will be but am sick of trying to hide under baggy tops and really want to be able to tuck a t-shirt into my jeans and walk around proudly!
Am delighted I joined WW - had I not, I would still be the same weight I was 7 weeks ago...
I really draw great inspiration from this thread - tips are great and the way everyone encourages each other...
Good weather nearly here (hopefully!) so keep going - remember, every journey starts with a single step? 0 -

Hi Snaggle
Well done on the first stone.... and you are right each step is very important to get to goal..
Another quote I like which is helping me realise I have to change habits is
If you always do what you always did - you will always get what you always got

Fair play for being gold for 12 years!
Would like to just get there... Really annoyed with myself that I've just let myself get bigger and bigger, buy bigger sized clothes and convince myself I'm ok!
I hope I can keep thinking the way I am now and get to goal by end of year - am imaging a SLIM Christmas for a change instead of having to go to O'Mearas (tents) for something to wear...
Keep at it - you've done it before so you can definitely do it again!! 0 -

This thread is a life saver Was feeling miserable so came on her to keep from loosing my motivation and hitting the bisuits :eek: And its worked.
Well done Pembily, keep it up
Snaggle 0705, a stone in a month is amazing, keep it up and that Gold Card will be yours. Well done.
Jakeypooh, 12 years wow, I'm Gold 2 years and I'm still struggling so your defo an inspiration, it'll all come back to you and you'll have the 7 gone in no time. Good luck. PS a pound is a pound less!!!
Leo25, yep a bad week is when you need your meeting most, so go and just start afresh from there. It was your Bday, you are alllowed a treat, belated Happy Birthday
He he, I am feeling all positive now. Just had a crap day, and after my loss yesterday I should be buzzing and motivated but tiredness kicked in and I forgot that feeling, but I've got it back now. There were millions of chocolates at work today and I managed to resist, hurray 0 -

Ok, So haven't posted in a while but have been keeping an eye on everyone else's progress and first of all congratulations to you all !
I started WW on the 4th January and go every Monday night.
I started at 15st 10lbs and am now 13st 13.5 lbs, Total loss 24.5 lbs. I'm 5ft 9 with a starting bmi of 32.6 which is now at 28.9.
Last weeks weigh in was the worst for me cause it was the first time i was up. I put on a single lb last week but i think it's been the motivation I need to keep going at this and not go back to old habits.
I'm the only male in my group. One or two others come for the WI but never stay for the class.
Do you think it makes a difference to the class and the way women speak in class if there is a male there ?
Do you think it would be better if i went to a male class or a class with some more males and let the women have their own class ?
It wouldn't matter to me which class i go to but i'd hate to think some people might not be participating or worst still going to the class because i was there.
Please don't think i'm being big headed or anything here. I only say this because i find that if i tell them what i've lost there a bit of resentment.
you hear the odd comment like as sure it's so much easier for men ?

aw ryaner - listen, I'll be honest I am jealous as hell when I hear the massive numbers the men loose in meetings.....however I certainly dont resent them! We are all there for same reason and it is well known fact women loose weight differently. I can only speak from my perspective, but I actually welcome having a man or two in the meetings (unfortunately the odd man doesnt seem to speak) because its great to get different ideas and perspectives. I would be very surprised if people werent participating because there was male there....if people dont participate its generally because they are shy or feel uncomfortable talking in group situation imo. You've done extremely well, be proud and hold your head high, you have as much right to be there as anyone! 0 -
Hey girls- have you ever debated the whole carbs vs calories issue?
I often try to cut my carbs- (bread mainly or spuds), i just made six low carb pancakes with almond flour and one egg, xylitol, skimmed milk and porridge oats........... feckin delishus but i am dreading putting the points together for it..... would you rate a lower carb but higher in good fats dish or condemn it to points purgatory? its something i struggle with....
*sorry if my post is a bit nonsensical.... i am real tired today! 0 -
