Anyone else out there with 5 plus stones to lose? Who fancies doing a weekly weigh in with me?

[sandramaryb]

I have got really overweight in the last couple of years and would love to meet some others who might be trying to cut down but not exactly dieting. Where do you start when there is so much to lose? Any tips on evening snacking? TIA

Chip, Well done. That is a fantastic loss.

Jaz, think about it, that is one and a half tins of beans! Quite heavy actually.

I had my weigh in this morning and lost 4.5 lbs! Amazing. I was very good but even so am so grateful to have lost such a lot at this stage in the game. Just half a pound away from 4 stone now.
Have totally gorged all day on rubbish! So will have to be super good all week now! Had a curry with dh tonight which was delicious. Very full now. Burp!

Kela, 13 points under is amazing. And choc, you are in the zone, I can tell! Just make sure you are eating enough to keep healthy.

Choc - am amazed you managed not to eat pizza in pizza hut - well done!!

Jaz - 1 1/2 lbs is brilliant - WW say you should aim to lose 1-2 lbs a week, so you are right in the middle of that.

Ags - that is brilliant - I am really impressed - are you eating all your points? My 13 under isn't so amazing when you think that I am allowed 37! And most days I do eat most of them

I guess its good as at least Im not putting weight on, its just that its going realy slowly!! Im definitely not going to buy anymore WW cakes or biscuits etc. I must admit i havent writte anything down so Im going to start writing everything down.

Must also admit with this tummy bug i have been on the toilet most of the night so really I should have got weighed this morning not the night before as this would give a true picture. so far ive only had an apple and a bananana.

quick on, if i bought some jarfood for my baby as im weaning him at the mo, the amount he doesnt eat can i freeze this?

I don't think so jaz, but it keeps in the fridge for 48 hours after opening I think.

Woo hoo - I've lost 4 lbs this week!!! Total of 17.5 in 6 weeks!!!!!!!

Hi folks would love to join your group I have way more than 5 stone to loose at 5ft2in and 19stone 2lb I need to loose at least 9 stone I have just been diagnosed with type2 diabeties so I really need to tackle this and I know I cannot do it alone

Hi maggy, welcome!! Do you know what sort of diet you are going to start?

hey maggie welcome - everone here is brilliant!

thanks for the welcome
I am going to follow the rosmary connelly diet I did that a few years ago and have all the books ect so along with that and watching my intake of sugars etc I am hoping to loose a chunk of this weight at least then I may not need to have all the pills for the diabeties

hi maggy, welcome.

Hey Maggy, you are not alone! I had 9 stone 8 pounds to lose at the beginning of January! Have 5 stone 8.5 left to go! So don't be embarrassed. Welcome.

Ags and KelaH - Well done!! What fabulous losses!!

Maggie - welcome! good luck with starting your new way of eating. Hope it sorts out the diabetes.

i've been very good so far this week. I was under my points on Monday by 6 and so allowed myself to go 2.5 points over yesterday with a beer. Today i had my mummy friends over for lunch and cooked them spicy chicken with couscous and salad and it was absolutely lush!! All for 5.5 points! I'm hoping for a decent loss when i get weighed on monday but tbh, i'll be happy with just a pound!

Have a nice evening everyone.

hi all

been a bit bad today and not eaten enough....

had a wrap and grapes for lunch,

nothing for tea as girls had burger king after swimming....

now i am not sure if it to late to eat as it is weigh day tomorrow.... so not sure what to do for the best... i have drunk a lot which is good

just got a linda mc veg lasange out freezer and in oven but just looked at it and it is 10gram sat fat
so 11 points

now i dont know weather to have it or not

if you've only had a wrap all day then i think you should eat it!! You MUST make sure you eat enough!! you are only supposed to save no more than 4 points per day.

i have ate it with green salad.....
was really shocked at the points for it though..... could have had 3 crunchies instead
it is made with quorn, must have loads of cream in?

are you having a good day?

Yeah i expect the lasagne was made with cream type stuff or most probably had added sugar in it to make it taste more appetising. Much easier (and tastier!) to make your own as you know exactly how much of whatever is in it.

I am having a good day and so far i've had a very good week! I'm very proud of myself so far and am amazed that i can actually stick to my 27 points a day as i was struggling when i had 37 to play with!!

yeah i normally do but had got this just to have in the freezer in case we were desperate!!!!

thats brill - good for you, how much do you want to lose?

the summer def helps me, as i enjoy salads

Ah, that's ok then!

Need to lose probably about 8 stone really, but i'll see how it goes as to whether i lose that much.

Doesn't matter if it's summer or winter with me. I eat just as much either way!!

yeah actually me to hoping the hypnosis will help with that..... but i think my salad eating in summer helps rather than the stew and dumplings

You will do it you seem so determind..

i am currently reading adventures of diet girl- have you heard of it?

has anyone tried halluomi - i thin thats how you spell it? its absolutely gorgeous!

yes Jazz I have . that's why I am so fat

no what is it?
