come and convince me to do Slimming wold

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

How much did you loose . have you lost so far.
And in what period of time.

My problem with loosing weight is that I want reasonably fast results, ie really need to feel that I am loosing 2 ish lbs each week.

I am happy to change my diet and to add in a little more exercise.

Needs to be family friendly menu's.

I am also thinking of joining at a meeting tomorrow ,have just been diagnosed with a hip problem so could do with losing at least a couple of stone ,this has spurred me on.

[mrswoodentop]

I would really like that Greyskull,I did slimming world back when Ds2 was a baby ,he is 14 in Jan !!Did WW after ds3 and quite liked that but think I need something new also the time of the meeting is good for me as I don't work Thursdays and it's in school hours.

How much do you want to lose

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

I am currently 13.5 stone and want to be 10.5 but would be very happy to get to 11st.

really I want to be a dress size 12.

going to also download the couch to 5k podcast and start that.
How about you?

[mrswoodentop]

I am about 12.5 stone and would like to be 10.5 .Couch to five k no good for me because of hip but still walking the dog a lot and detrermined to get back on my bike and used to go to Pilates and would like to get back into that

Mrs Woodentop, I am going to let you down this week, I am VERY sorry, have run out of time to make a cake that is being picked up tomorrow and need to go to the cash and carry (opposite direction to SW meeting!!) need to do this before I pick DS2 up from playgroup at 12.

Will see if I can squeeze it in but have no idea how long it will take

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

I WENT!!!!!

bit scarey, weigh more with my clothes on mid morning than first thing - naked, but hey ho, they seem like a friendly group and I am gong to try my best.

I hope your meeting went ok. were they friendly with you??

[mrswoodentop]

Yey yes I went too they seem nice although and quite frinedly lthough there was quite a proponderence of elderly ladies!Just got to get my head around all the literature now ,it seems to me that the secret is in the planning ,so got to get mu plan and write a shopping list !

I was fairly spot on with my weight so that was a relief that I wasn't miles more than I thought!

[gingeme]

Good luck ladies your heading in the right direction. Once youve got your head round it it will become second nature trust me

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

yay well done us!!

got some "frylight" this afternoon from the supermarket and loads of fruit and veg.
Not sure how I am going to do with very little bread going to have to have a serious look at breakfast options.

I purposefully didn't take loads of clothes off to get weighed I figured that even if it is just a cardigan weight it would give me a moral boost if I have lost 1lb of cardigan weight next week

Have also done today's food diary on t'internet. seemed straight forward so far.

anywya got to go and get boys in bed.

[borderslass]

I've lost over 5 stone but i've only followed the 90% rule so its taken 3 years one lady at our class got her 3 st award today she only started 22 weeks ago and another was through to the woman of the year finals she lost 10 st in 18 months.

[mrswoodentop]

There were soome youger people and one young women who had lost 9 stone and had just found out she was expecting a little girl such a lovely bonus ,everyone was so thrilled for her

[mrswoodentop]

Sorry my keyboard is driving me mad,it has something sticky on it

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

Good evening MrsWoodenTop, how has your weekend been?

Mine has been a right off but I am NOT going to stress about it, we were away fro DH's 40th birthday so there was NO calorie counting.

Back on the wagon tonight and for the rest of the week.

[mrswoodentop]

Don't worry mine was write off too as it was ds3s birthday and also had rotten cold and feeling sorry for myself.Today has been good so far though;had weetabix for breakfast and jacket potato with beans and salad for lunch

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

so had 2 pieces of wholemeal toast for breakfast
pea and ham soup for lunch no snacks so far
need to sort out jacket pots for dinner tonight.
did alot of walking this weekend but don't think it was enough to counter balance the wine and puds
