[Steffanoid]

The old board ran out so here's a nice new one, welcome slimmers old and new

[Fairygen]

Hi, I haven't posted for well over a year!! I eventually got to within 3 lbs of my target weight and then it all went wrong. I totally lost my motivation because I was happy with how I looked and felt, so stopped going to group.

I managed to maintain until September and since then have put on 1 stone 12 lbs. Back to group last Thursday and eaten my body weight in veg so far.

[Midori1999]

I haven't posted for a while, but have kept going to group. I joined mid November and have lost 2st 2 1/2 now, although I spend 5 of the last 6 weeks within 2lb of my 2st, gaining/losing/staying the same, then finally had lost 5lb last week to get my 2 stone award.

Darkesteyes, our group isn't doing a sponsored slim. Instead, our consultant has said if we want to join in then set a mini target for the 6 weeks and if we don't do it then we donate a tenner to charity, which is the hall the group is held in. I've joined in and said ill lose a stone, because I've been quite unmotivated for weeks now and have only half stuck to plan. Others have just wanted to lose a couple of pounds in that time and I'm pretty sure loads haven't joined in and no big deal is made.

Hi can I join you all please. I started sw in September and was doing ok. Steady, but ok. However over Christmas I put on 6 lbs and I haven't managed to get back into it since. I've lost 1lb, gained 1lb and stayed the same for weeks now. I just seem to have no willpower. I cook healthy sw meals and really enjoy them - although I do find it an expensive diet. it is the inbetween times I am crap at and resisting temptation. I start every Wednesday (day after wi) full of enthusiasm and determination and then it's all gone by Thursday.

[Darkesteyes]

Well done on the losses everyone

[Darkesteyes]

I dont need my bloody motivation boosting. Ive worked fucking hard over the last 6 months to get where i am.
And i dont like the emotional blackmail aspect of it either. Something just doesnt sit right with this.
I dont mind making a donation but i dont want an eating disorder.

[Darkesteyes]

Havent been on this thread for a while but my weight is still coming off slowly but steadily and is showing in inches rather than pounds (ppl think ive lost 2 stone when according to SW its a stone and a half. This has taken me 6 months of dieting and excersise 4 / 5 times a week.
This is why i WONT be participating in this....

because to me its just adding more pressure. I dont mind sponsoring someone but i WONT be doing it myself I Can NOT control how fast my weight comes off so i made it very clear to my consultant that i WONT be participating. I was bloody furious at the time.

Lost another 2.5lbs , it's 1stone 2lbs in total so far. Thanks for the birthday wishes.....drank lots of wine, ate jelly babies and popcorn. Will pay for that lot next week lol. Still, birthdays are only once a year.

Hello! Lost 3lb this week and am amazed given what I ate on Saturday. I'm now back to my lightest so far (4.5 stone since last January).

DH & I won 'Couple of the Year' tonight. Although, since we're the only couple there, it wasn't that difficult .

[ToeFluff]

Ps. Happy Birthday JakeBullet!


PPs, I don't think I'm going to be able to move my legs in the morning :s

[ToeFluff]

Hi, do u mind if I join in please?!

Restarted again today for the millionth time but something feels different this time - I'm feeling really motivated and positive, I've even just done an exercise dvd!

I've got just over 1.5 to loose and a very wobbly tummy to tone up!

[JakeBullet]

It's my birthday today......and for te first time in ages I have gone well over my Syns! But it's once a year.....and that's life sometimes.

Anyhow...back to the straight and narrow tomorrow.

I'd like to join in here please. I just started SW online this week. Struggling a little getting the Healthy Extra A&B in, but slowly working it out.

I bought the Blue Diamond unsweetened almond milk (on sale at Sains for £1 a litre), and just about fell over laughing at how much 875ml of almond milk really is (for the Healthy Extra A).

[JakeBullet]

Lost 3.5lbs this week! Another 0.5lbs and its a stone.

Well done to everyone who has lost weight this week.

[Steffanoid]

16 weeks*

[Steffanoid]

another 2lb off here taking me to 2st10.5lb in 15 weigh ins :)

[JakeBullet]

Off to be weighed this morning. No eating out this week so hoping for 2lbs. I will be content with 1lb though.....in a year that would make nearly 4 stones which is my initial goal....and I will do it too.

Will report back

[WannaBeMarryPoppins]

Wow jake that's amazing! Well done!

I have lost two pounds the first week and one last night, so only three pounds overall. Bit of a slow start but then I'm finding it hard not to stuff myself with chocolate t the moment.

[JakeBullet]

I lost 2lbs this week despite dining out twice, . Worth every single Syn imho .

I did choose healthy options tbough.

So habe lost 10lbs in the two weeks since I started. Am well pleased.

[Steffanoid]

another 3 off up to 2st8.5 in 15 weeks

[WannaBeMarryPoppins]

First weigh in and I forgot my pack at home. Can I go without my booklet and card? If not I can't go tonight. Stupid me.

[Fairygen]

Hi all,
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.
I put on 2lbs over Christmas and 1lb over New Year, i've lost 1.5lbs of it, so pretty happy with that.

My main problem is that I'm constantly starving!! I'm not craving naughty stuff, I just seem to have a never ending hunger. I'm drinking 2 litres of water every day, and eating tonnes of superfree. Has anyone else noticed this since Christmas?

[AngryFeet]

Not a bad first day even though I wasnt prepared as my shopping didn't arrive till 4pm.

B: Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and clementine (as mentioned in earlier post)

L: Jacket pot with baked beans and cheese (HEA)

S: Bread x 2 (HEB), butter (2 syns), smoked salmon

D: Spaghetti, pesto sauce made with quark and 4tsp of pesto (4.5 syns), mushrooms, courgettes and brocolli plus parmesan (6 syns)

Didn't do the third superfree for lunch as I hsd nothing but made up for it at dinner :)
