Half a stone lighter by September

[Natty1806]

Here we go girls no backing out now.

morning all, congrats to all those losing weight over the past couple of days.

As for slimming pills ... I guess each to their own and all that but imo they are a very bad idea and I would never take them and would never recommend anyone take them. I think anything that suppresses your appetite and helps you lose weight is a very bad idea and is very unhealthy, however natural the label proclaims it to be. I think that this concept of a product being "all natural" or "from the herbalist" is often misleading as even natural products aren't all good - deadly nightshade is a herb and ... well you'd certainly know about it if you ingested it. By the same token Cannabis is a herb and we don't go advocating its use either. Sorry if I offend anyone but I do feel quite strongly about these things.

Well have been out to the pool this morning and dwam 32 lengths. I am definitely getting fitter I can do it now without it nearly killing me, lol. Can feel the weight loss now - am wearing a pair of jeans that I bought 4 weeks ago and they're now miles too big for me. If it wasn't for the fact I'm wearing a belt I wouldn't be able to wear them at all, so seems this is all starting to pay off for me .

Agree with you on the pill thing wannabe. I think you're just kidding yourself with stuff like that. You just have to adjust your eating habits if you want to loose weight and keep it off.

dwam? lol - that's about as close as I get to swimming

Well done you though. I could hardly get my jeans zipped up today

Thanks for you kind words ladies, seems everyone is doing well.

I agree with wannabe on the diet tablets, the only way to lose weight is eat less and do more exercise and as we are all ttc i think it is best we try to lose weight but also eat as healthy as possible because are in the making of starting a new life and if we all get into good habbits now when we all get pregnant we hopefully won't want to get junk food etc as we will have had a good few months without it and only have it as treats.

remind me of that though when i am pregnant and eating sausage rolls, burgers etc - anything in sight and then say it is a craving .LOL

This could turn into my confession site.

Just had chips AGAIN - Aaarrgggh. Will I never learn.

so much for the healthy eating (which I know I should be doing while ttc). Can I put it down to pre-pg craving

Must do better. Must do better.

At least DH is now home and will be cooking me lots of healthy food for the next 3 weeks. Yum.

Very impressed about the jeans Wannabe! I still can't bring myself to try mine on.

Thank you for the tip Geordie. I know they work for some people but I am very careful of supplements etc now as was very ill two years ago with some unidentified condition that shut my immune system down.

Just before I got ill, I was eating tons of pre prepared diet food, lots of diet drinks, supplements etc. Now I steer clear and have had to accept that there is no easy way to lose weight and stay healthy - just cut down on the food, watch what I do eat and exercise!

Damn it! Can't get it to work. Thought it would be fun for us to have a ticker each and I tried to download one from TickerFactory.com to show you but am not doing it right - anyone know how to do it?

MrsMc.....what the bugger have you done???!!! LOL!!!!

wannaBe..... about thiose jeans - that's fantastic!!

Natty...good news form you....1 1/2 pounds is excellent...seems to be a weight trend this week!!

Angsthase...I love the pre-pg craving idea...I'm going for that tonight with a chinese and some red wine!!
Very sad but we are doing a B.Brother final tele fest with our takeaway!!!!!

Glad to hear that everyone's wary of those supplements.....especially as we're all ttc.
I've a friend who's used similar and likes them....but we are all in a slightly different situation here and need to be extra careful.
Thanks for the tip though Geordie.

Really didnt mean to offend anyone with mention of diet pills... For what its worth I dont take them anymore either... after mc and now ttc I am being extra careful about eveyrthing I eat, drink, look at etc etc etc...

The best diet tip I ever heard was eat less and exercise more!!

Geordie....you haven't offended anyone.
It's good to have suggestions, although I agree, less food, more exercise is the only way to go!!

I guess we are a bit more careful than most general slimming threads as we are all ttc as well.
I tried agnus castus under recommendatiuon and that did me no good at all.....
Feel free to join us......

No diet for me... I'm just hoping that I get a BFP next week and then I will have an excuse for my jeans not fitting!!!

Hi everyone...well I have been very good the last few days- more of an enforced diet due to not feeling too good. Back to full 2ww 'want to eat everything mode' tonight. Went to the local to (sad i know) watch the BB fianl and gave in to wine and nuts!!! Ah well, back on the wagon tomorrow- good luck aldies with your weight loss!!

Andi.......do you mean ladies or oldies????!!!!!

LOL!!!! Didn't know whether to be shocked or not!!!!!

Hello ladies, I am being a disaster! I am dreading Weds already! Have drunk tons and hardly counted my calories but I did do a Davina work out this morning so a little happier.

Last night, we decided we would have a bottle of champagne (why not, we still have a few bottles from our wedding celebrations). Our neighbour had given us a couple of fresh lobsters so we decided to make lobster thermidor. Well, we thought there would be enough for a whole meal but it was more like a starter so ended up having a frozen pepperoni pizza for our main course!

What does 2WW mean?

Coggy - I gave up on the ticker company after the mess I made of it!shame, it would have been fun.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hi ladies..haven't been on this for a few days due to dieters shame...I HAVE BEEN BAD. There I said it. Back on the wagon today for week 3- lost 4 pounds in the first week and 1 lousy pound last week- still a pound is a pound- right?
MrsMc- love your lobster meal..I'd sod the diet off for THAT plus pepp pizza...mmmm.
2WW= 2 week wait -you know after ovulation b4 af/or testing.
I too cannot do the ticker thing-they end up like yours...why!!!! with self.

What is the ticker thing???!! >

A pound is fine Andi.....still going the right way.

How fab to have a neighbour who drops round a couple of lobsters!!!!!

Been to the gym this morning and so pedometer is on 10,513 already!!!!
A night sat on my backside watching TV I feel!!!!

Hi Coggy- good news on the 10k plus steps already!
mrsMc mentioned the tickerfactory.com....see below she has tried to use a ticker for dieting and it only shows the wording -not the visual ticker. I had the same prob. Her Fri entry shows her trying to use it so I thought you must've asked her to...????

I have no idea what the ticker is!!!
I will go to the website and have a look!!!

Thanks Coggy.
You can do ttc tickers. pg tickers/ diet tickers...any ticker..i just can't get them to show up when i cut and paste- i wanted a diet one on here too like mrsmc. If you can do it let me know.
Cheers.

Hi Andi - thanks for making sense of my nonsense! I'll try again another day to get a ticker on here to show that I am not mad! Thanks also for explaining the 2WW

Got up early to do Davina workout this morning so at least that is something - terrorfied that I am going to up back on some of what I lost due to my weekend!

Keep up the good work ladies, we still have just under 2 weeks to go until September!

Oh God, I am a disaster...69.7 AGAIN!!! Oh well, at least the chips didn't add to my failure.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's slipped this w/e. Back on the wagon again today. Didn't do too badly Friday and Sunday, but had friends round for dinner on Saturday and had Caiparinas followed by a bottle of wine (each!)

Am determined to run tomorrow to show my renewed effort.

Good luck with this week girls.
