TUESDAY weigh in !! Anyone want to join me for a weekly weigh in ?

[Ditsydotty]

So whether you have a little or a lot to lose, join me for a weekly weigh in - we could even have a slimmer of the week.

Just add your stats (don't be scared) - but I think it works if you're really honest.

Joining Date: 3rd Jan
Starting weight: 11st 1lb
Target weight: 10st 4lb
Why: Just want to be more comfortable in my clothes that are a bit tight & I'm going to be 40 later this year.
Method: Mainly low fat with a vague eye on carbs

I hope there are some others out there, who are up for a weekly weigh in & some mutual support & tips.

Hi (I signed in to this as GetOrf, have just amended my MN name slightly).

I weighed myself this morning and I am 11 stone 12, when I weighed myself last Wednesday I was 12 stone 3, so am very pleased to have lost 5lbs!

It hasn't been too difficult, have cut out all the crap and dodgy carbs, eating 3 meals a day, and on alternate days having a protein shake for dinner instead of a meal. So porridge or a smoothie in the morning, soup for lunch, meat and veg or omelette of some description in the evening. Counting it all up on food focus, and is roughly 1100 - 1200 calories on one day, and 600-700 on the alternate day.

Hope I can keep this level of weight loss up, I am really pleased!

Good luck everyone else.

Well done Floss & Dora - I've updated the list and added your losses.

I stepped on first thing and really pleased as I've lost 5lbs

Real challenge for me though it is sustain the weight loss for more than a week, as my normal trick is to lose a few pounds really quickly then spend the next year putting the same 5 pounds back on & off. I think it's going to help me posting on here to carry on now.

Look forward to seeing the next results coming in.

Getorf - that's brilliant ! Will do a major update at the end of the day. Sounds like you have a good plan going there.

The results are in! Well done GetOrf and Ditsy. My scales are playing up so need to check the batteries but they are telling me 10st10lb which would be 5 lbs. my old mechanical ones say11st. Only 1 lb loss. Still both going the right way. Will check again soon to try and verify. Fingers crossed.

Okay.... Deep breath on the scales and I am .....
10st 11 a whole pound up! Grrr
Still this is incentive to drop the lunchtime crisp habit and to do my pick-up running!

Well done, losers :o

I only weighed myself/joined the thread yesterday so was unsurprised to weigh myself this morning in order to be in line with the Tuesday weigh-ins and find I'm the same as yesterday.

Thanks for doing the updates so neatly, Dotty. It must be a bit of a faff!

Well done ditsy! Minimammoth ignore the bollocking old mechanical scales and just take the reading on the digital ones, 5lb loss!

When i weighed myself last week I was so shocked at 12 stone 3 I was convinced that my (digital) scales were reading too heavy. DP proved me wrong my putting a 5 kilo dumbell on it - it weighed bang on correctly .

Yes thanks ditsy for doing this - it must be quite an ordeal to keep updating that lot!

Please can i join i did start my diet last week and have lost 3 pounds but this will give mr motivation i hope. So here i go

Why going on hol in june and have a huge family wedding to attend in august sick of being fat.

should say me

Oh and method have been on slim fast and one meal a day loads of water and hammering zumba.

Weighed myself this morning and have only lost 1lb :( I guess it's better than nothing but was hoping for a better start tbh. Hope everyone does a bit better than me this week.

Hello :)
I weighed myself just now and am...
11st 10lbs so have lost 5lbs in 6 days
I am really happy to be in the 11 stone catergory again
Well done those who have lost lbs and good luck to those who haven't :)

rootie sometimes it happens like that, though it is annoyiong. Hopefully though all the good work you are doing will show next week when you weigh yourself.

I am really pleased with my 5lb loss, but I know I won't be able to maintain a 5lb a week loss, 1lb or 2lb a week is more sustainable apparently.

Thanks for adding me on ditzy - and well done with your first week !

Proud to say my first diet is the "ditzy diet" if anyone should ask
( A bit like joining weight-watchers ? )

Just weighed myself for the Tuesday weigh-in and I reckon it was 10st 13 lbs.

• Probably just luck and a bit of creative visualisation that's got me under 11st since yesterday. But good to think I'm 10 st something again !

Onwards and downwards !

Congratulations on the weightloss everyone

I will have to skip the weigh in this time. I started off badly and then had a few good days and then twisted my ankle really badly on Sunday so I've been sitting on my bum comfort eating ever since.

Will definitely rejoin when I can move and control the stuffing of my face with junk.

Sorry to hear about your ankle - hope you'll be up and about again soon

Yay, 5lb here too!! Well done everyone, my new stats are:

Ditzy, would you prefer us to update the whole list or do you enjoy a little admin?

The ditzy diet is a good one, well done everyone!!

Thanks Juggling

Omg, I've lost weight! And I only started on Friday.

I was 13stone 1.5 lbs and now I'm 12 stone 11 lbs! Is that 5.5lbs? In 5 days!

I'm not starving myself but am exercising a lot and counting calories on myfitnesspal.

Oops, meant to say well done to everyone else for their weight losses. Keep going everyone!

Rootie, I've found before when I've done slimming world that I never lose in the first week. It's like my body lags a week behind. I bet you find you lose more next week but a lb is better than nothing and is in the right direction. Well done.

Wow the weight is falling off all over the place. I don't mind updating the central list, but I'll just do it once a day or every couple of days if busy. It has definitely made me feel more positive about carrying on being good knowing I have to post back on here in a week.

Am liking the Ditzy diet idea ! The do it your way diet, as long as you weigh in on Tuesdays !

AfternoonNap - I think your own blend GI sounds OK. I'm no expert but low GI carbs, protein & avoiding high fat sounds fairly sensible. Might be worth keeping a food diary so you can back track if it isn't working. I'm sure there are people on here who would be able to give a second opinion.

DitsyDiet!

Well done Viva, that is great.

It is a good idea posting on here.

I am going to copy Katie.
