Am I the only one for this week or have we changed our weigh-in day and I didn't notice.

Please do let us know about how your doing good or bad so we can support each other.

Scales still not quite right but only slight differences of 1.5lb either way. So have worked on best of four and have gone with the one weigh which came up twice.

Lexcat -3lbs (over 2 weeks) Total -1st 12lbs

Now the big push to get to that 2 stone loss by next week fingers crossed. Clothes are looser and I can see I've lost the weight but surprised I haven't noticed a bigger difference like needing a smaller size. Really hope that starts happening when I start losing the 3rd stone.

Hope everyone else has had a good week.

Nice to have you back para. My scales have gone funny again, was so shocked when they told me I had lost 6lbs so tried again and this time gained 3lbs.

Gave up on my old scales because they went crazy brought new ones which have once gone crazy then returned to normal the next week so will hope they return to normal again.

Glad to hear the foodfocus is helping you out positive. I don't us it all the time just to keep on track, started off using it alot.
slides back into the topic whistling nonchantly.......

So have kept the weight off at 2 stone since about the beginning of the thread and slightly behind in should have lost about another half stone by now but am back in the game and on track.

Hi Lexcat, thanks for the info about food focus. I'm loving it! (no not macdonald's, the website grin) I have faithfully typed in whenever I have eaten and it calculates it all, Its Brill! I love the way it gives you a date to work to your goal, too. That makes it more realistic and I feel as if I can actually get there. Thank you. grin

How is everyone else doing? smile

Thanks Lexcat. Just been looking on the food focus website. Are You registered? Looks quite good and I am up for any motivational thing I can get really, especially if it is free! wink

Really pleased last night. Went out for a meal and was able to fit into a skirt I had not been able to wear all summer. It was my favourite skirt and was realy shock when I couldn't wear it this summer. I am so impressed I have worn it all day today, too. grin
I chose a lovely fish dish last night, that was yummy grin, but have to confess to having a very chocolatey dessert that was oozing fat and calories. I only had fruit for the rest of the day, to make up for it. And straight back on track today, so I am pleased. I don't want to sit and deprive myself when out like that, or I know I will lose the will power to carry on.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend. Keep posting.- Please come and tell me how you are all doing. smile

Well done positive that really is a great loss. I'm the same can't help reading all the food labels, I also find www.foodfocus.co.uk is great to keep a track of calories and fats your eating.

Feeling much better about things as I've really upped the exercise and hope to see improvements. So far 2miles walks on Tues,wed and Thur. Had a girly day with my mother on friday walking round a big show. Took dd swimming this morning and we did 10 lengths together before having a bit of a play. Then did another 2mile walk with her this afternoon.

After all the main reason I started this was because I wanted to be fitter and started running but my weight was holding me back. Due to recurring injury had to stop the running. I like been fitter I feel better in myself,and I sleep really well(not been great sleeper since dd was born). The best bit is I have so much more energy. Would love to try running again when the weight is right down.

Hi All,

How did you get on at WW last night?

I managed to sneak into my friends bathroom and step on scales today. Lost 8lb since I started, so well pleased with that!! I do feel slimmer, but get a shock when I see myself in the mirror or a shop window and realise I am still enormous! hmm Anyway, a good start and I am still enthusiastic and not getting hungry.
We are off out tomorrow night, and I have decided that I am not going to go mad, but not going to deny myself too much either, then back on wagon the next day. Otherwise I get to the point where I dont see the point in it all and will lose all enthusiasm all together. Hopefully they will have some tasty food that is not too bad!

Just wanted to share something that I am sure you all know, but i have been shocked by - I am doing a low fat diet and have really reduced my fat intake to about 15 - 20g a day. The biggest shock has been bread. I tried the Danish stuff (0.5g per slice), which was like eating air and I was starving within 30 mins of eating any, so have researched all the breads I like from our local shop and there is a HUGE difference. From 0.6g per slice wink, up to 3.9g!! One sandwich and half my daily allowance has gone before I put anything into it!!! shock Sorry, I think I am getting a wee bit obsessed, but just a simple thing!!

Hope you all have a good weekend

hey hows everyone doing? im back at ww tonight, but had a eally sressful week and not ae as well as i could so not sure will have lost any but on th plus side i dont think ive been bad to put any on either so even if i lost 3 and a half pounds last week and nothing this week i can live with that just need to try harder next week and stop getting down and eating!!! though i did fancy a big bag of maltesers but ate a punnet of grapes instead, that has to be good right???

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
