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.

[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.

Well done on the losses everyone

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.

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, 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.
