ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME IN LOSING A STONE IN 6 WEEKS STARTING 1ST OCTOBER?

[katybump]

hiya i really want to lose a stone,i have more than that to lose but figured if i started with that it would be easier.i'm going to do a healthy eating/daily walking type thing and hopefully it will work ! anyone want to join me

So would gin and slimline tonic be ok, anybody know?

in moderation thelady much better than ten pints and a large kebab

be back in a bit everyone ,sorting out the kids stuff for freecycle xxx

I caved last night after a bad day and had a pernod and (diet) lemonade. And felt loads better, didn't overeat on dinner, and was not too starving in the morning. Ho hum. Am going to try and give up alcohol completely though.

Today - breakfast - toast and honey (I know but I was craving sweetness)
lunch - steak and salad in ciabatta but I do feel the benefit of a main meal at lunchtime as I have not nibbled at all this afternoon, and still feel full, so will just have a light tea. And no alcohol.

Coffee x 2, Diet coke x 2, Water x 3.
Walked 3 miles.

What a bloomin' essay. Sorry!

Lunch not so good
2 digestives

still not much that's good

dashing in think positive one good thing you have done for yourslf today please and if you haven't done anything yet please plan something for later

will be back asap to make sure you lot are being good to yourselves

we are loreal !!!!!!!!

Am I too late to join?

What are we doing?

I have just had a healthyish dinner of tortilla (the Spanish type, not the Mexican version), made with 3 eggs, 3 small potatoes, half an onion, a yellow pepper and some olive oil. Shared between myself and my two boys (5 and 3).
Oh, and a small corn on the cob. That will be it for tonight except for a small drink once the children are in bed.

We're losing weight, NAB3, any which way we can.

Okay. Will give that a go.

One pound lost last week.

Have eaten with the children today so must find a way not to eat again tonight.

Have done much better today.
Breakfast - oops. Didn't have any as was in a rush.
Lunch - Cold meat and salad w/ lemon juice.
Dinner - Fillet steak and broccoli
2 cups decaf coffee w/ soya milk, and lots of water.

Another one flying & weight-watching at the same time - there must be a verb for that - too tired to think ...

Thanks to this thread and Rosemary Conley site doing much better this week.

Also helped by dh being away (can eat soup for dinner!) and have over-scheduled work/dd activities so rushing everywhere without fridge-stops/pig-outs in front of telly.

So far this week:

fresh OJ + banana for brkfast
rice & veg for lunch with either cooked chicken or lean ham (except for Wednesday when ate sausages, pots and brocoli with dd)
veg soup for dinner with tiny bit cheese and wholemeal bread
snacking on pears/apples/

Only weighing myself once a week (what are others doing?) so will have to wait until Sunday to see if its had any effect ... .

Is anyone else finding that success depends on frequent visits to the supermarket for healthy stuff (oat cakes, grapes, berries etc???)

welcome nab3 you'll get lot's of help and encouragement here and well done on the pound off xx

mrsseanslater you are on your way ,enjoy the drink

bogmyrtle am very impressed keep it up

Oh no.... I have been bad......... 2 pints and a glass of cava.....oh no......now I'm home and DP is home from work starving and trying to make me go out for chips....... I was so good today! I had chicken and green bean salad and fruit for lunch- hence the alcohol has gone straight to my head!

can i join in please. I started rosemary conley 3 weeks ago now, lost 1.5 pounds in first week, went to monte carlo that weekend and put on half a pound, weighed in on tuesday and stayed the same so so far i have lost a pound.

markstretch share the chips and then work it off

elmtree come on in and keep it up .

having a busy week, but have managed to cut back on nibbles and booze, also having fruit rather than puds, I feel as if I've lost a bit of weight, but didn't actually weigh myself before starting this so I don't know

Day three almost over, yippee!

Today I have had..

Lunch - Spaghetti on toast (boring!)

Dinner - mashed potatoes and beans (dh and dcs had sausages too but I didn't)

Snack - 2 malted milk biscuits, sugarsnap peas with houmous

Bit carb-tastic, but I couldn't get out to shops today with ds2 so the fruit bowl needs refilled, just enough left for dd and ds1's break tomorrow.

Exercise - Pump section of Davina's 3x30 DVD

No wine again tonight, trying to abstain until the weekend.

Speak to you all tomorrow, I'm heading to bed soon to catch up on some sleep zzzzzzz

night lalopgarou well done on another day and hope you get some sleep tonight xx

Thanks! I am pretty proud of myself today as I very nearly didnt go after the night we'd had and it seemed 10x as hard as usual but it will all be worth it in the end!!! Was chanting your think thin mantra all the was through
Really going now....

Obviously that is wholemeal bread, not wholemeal butter...
