Lose 3 stone and be a new person by next year!

[woahthere]

I am a starting weight of 12st 13lbs, I want to lose 3stone. I am going to do it by South Beach diet and walking and workouts. Starting today! Have had ham and erggs for breakfast, busy for the rest of the day but going to go for a walk later. Have done no exercise over the festive period so a walk is a start! Anyone want to join me? xxxxxx

Wondered if this would help us see where we all are with everything...

So after a rubbish start, and eating and drinking far too much I have got my arse back into gear...I think.......

just thought id update mine, had a shit day today and yesterday, had a chicken kebab with garlic sauce and salad lastnight
today iv had 3 mini muffins
im not feeling too grand tbh,i didnt take my prozac untill about 5pm tonight ,i normally take it at 10am, its made me feel weird, i will have cereal later and nothing else..could do with an early night!

Ah, sorry you had a bad day zazza, might be good idea to get that early night, tomorrow is a new day, and take your prozac earlier! But I have to say WELL DONE! 12 stone already that is fantastic! I cant wait to be 12 stone! xx

i feel totally fat and bloated though today
also feel really sick, not sure why,probably wont bother having anything else today.
think im getting the flu or something..
tomorrow is another day, will see how i go

well last night i ended up getting a dominoes takeaway had 2 slices of magerita pizza, wedges and garlic bread and garlic sauce
was worth it though.... back on it today, had me sunday dinner, few jaffa cakes ans am going to have me cereal later thats me all done for today lol...
might see the doc about the prozac as i dont seem as focused as i was in begining

forget about it zazza, dont feel cross about it, if you're going to blow out at least enjoy it! Sometimes its good to do because for some reason it speeds up your metabolism, so when you get back on it you then have a bigger weight loss!
Today I have had...scrambled egg, green and blacks dark chocolate..about half a bar! some chicken, some ham and for my tea i had chicken green peppers and black bean sauce with a portion of vegetables from the chinese. No its not exactly good, but in badness terms its not as bad as it could be and it was yummy. I have got so much energy and feel so alert when Im not eating bread or cake or pasta or anything and my tummy has shrunk loads after only a few days1 I would totally recommend it!

All going well here with me. I'm strict on this diet 95% of the time so if I do have something that isn't that healthy - psychologically I think - 'that's my 5%' rather than 'I've just blown this diet - I might as well go and stuff myself and start again tommorow/Monday etc' - which is what I normally do!

My exercise is rubbish though - I just haven't got any time to do anything in the day with two pre-schoolers who don't like to walk very far. I'm keeping active with them - but it is difficult as I'm just too knackered in the evening!

Hey well done everyone! I'm still not exercising as much as I would like but slowly getting there....did eat a bit of a roast dinner at my Mums today but didn't have too many potatoes (just 2), mainly just veg with a bit of turkey and no seconds

Wow, we are all losing...well done everyone! Reesie, 8lbs is great, you are doing really well! So at what weight do you think you will be like 'WOW' Im starting to look great?
I think that when I get under 12 stone I will really start to feel happy then because Ive not managed to dip down below it for quite a while. x

back on the diet yesterday, just hope i havent ruined all the hard work iv put in
im back at doctors next week re my medication,see if they will change it or up the dose.
at work tomorrow and thurs so will miss kettlebell this week, maybe a stint on the will tonight but im loaded with cold so will have to see..
i am a long wasy of thinking WOW lol...
maybe when i get to 11 1/2 stone i will see results..

Ooo that's a good plan with the copy and paste!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Things have been a nightmare the past week, with arguements with family and friends... oh the joys of life! Been ill past few days as well, so haven't done much exercise at all and haven't touched the scales in probably a week. So shall get on them when DD's in bed in an hour and get back on Wii Fit, so shall let you know what the weight is at the moment... Scared to look! Lol.

Actually I couldn't wait to see in an hour's time! Lol. I just jumped on the scales and I...

Woohoo, have lost 4lbs! I'm pleased since I haven't been able to do any exercise the past week and had only lost 2lbs the week before then.

well done tammybear

woooohoooo tammybear!

Thanks guys. How's everyone getting on? I seem to be getting worse health wise lol. I have been just on soup so hopefully that'll be at least another lb gone!

I'm trying to be good with my eating and have done ok this week...no wine, biscuits, cake or chocolate and smaller portions :) My next weigh in is Sunday...hoping for another pound or two. Haven't done much walking though...

not weighed today, eaten and drank a lot this weekend, but actually i dont care, my friends came to see me and its been fab. Next week i will be back on it, and am going to stop drinking from sunday to thursday which is a big thing for me. will weigh next week, no point this week i know it will depress me and im too happy for that x

well i havent lost this week due to me being on period and having 4 slices of vegitarian pizza on friday
was definetly worth it though
i also had 3 slices of marksys sultana and apple loaf with lurpak last night ! LOVELY !
