The Only One Pound Club..... need to lose over 2 stone? Join here for moral support!!

[Alambil]

Hi girls!!

Right.... the rules:

1 No big goals.
2 No failing.
3 No guilt trips.

Our goals need to be realistic. It freaks me out to think I need to lose 10 stone. That's 140 pounds - it's a WHOLE PERSON!!!!

Therefore I propose that we make ourselves realistic goals. Ignore the final hurdle; the first hurdle is my first half a stone.

7 lbs.

No failing: if you put on any weight, then IT IS ALRIGHT. It will come off again.

We will try our best to keep our weight going down, but if it has a blip, then it has a blip - no big deal, ok?

I am sick and tired of putting myself on and feeling guilt tripped by people because I put a pound or two on this week.

NEWSBREAK: it doesn't matter in the big picture!

Focus on the positives.

We will encourage each other as we muddle along together, agreed?

Here is our inspiration to keep going:

Only One Pound

Hello! Do you know me? If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat. And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.

Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!

Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.

So I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it. That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.

Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.

So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound." (As if that were such a terrible thing) For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.

And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.

Happy Days!!! After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

swedish mum I find the wii fit a bit bossy but you can just ignore it and also keep your records under a password, which I do so DH can't see how much I really weigh the worst bit is after you get weighed and your wii mii expands

have had 4 good days this week and lost 3lbs in total (or had, until today!) had curry for lunch at work and have had a couple of glasses of wine tonight, first this week though which is v good for me. DH's birthday this weekend so we have PILs/SIL for sunday lunch - I will need alcohol to get me through

I quite like my little pudding of a Mii....she's cute

Well done, duckyfuzz, that's brilliant

Really hope I show a weightloss on Monday night when I go to class, I'm feeling really motivated now and making myself stay away from the scales at home, I'll go with the SW ones. Been for a 3 mile walk with my friend this morning, we went out at 8.30 and it was lovely, blew a few cobwebs away (and a few calories aswell hopefully) I wouldn't have wanted to go on my own but we natter so much as we go round we don't notice the distance.

Hello Everyone,

Seems you are all doing well!

I hate weekends! I'm off all alcohol too until I go on hols (5th February) so feeling quite deprived at the moment.

Was doing really well yesterday, had only had one cambridge shake during the day, planned on having another at 7pm and another at 1030pm. Then I had a big fight with dh . I drove around for a bit then wandered round asda for an hour, by that point I was starving so ended up buying a cooked chicken and just sat in the car and ate two legs of it. Didn't have anything else after that though. I went home, went to bed and ignored him.

Got up today, as usual, everything has blown over. We are decorating our new extension so went and bought some paint etc, they had a McDonalds while I had a cup of tea and my cambridge bar, that was REALLY tough. Couldn't face any shakes or anything tonight so I just had some tandoori chicken breast that I'd made for dh/ds and a wee drop of mayo to dip it in.

Not too bad as I told myself if I was finding it tough I would do a cross of Cambridge and Atkins, so thats ok.

Trying not to weigh myself, but I'm addicted. My scales show I was 10st 8lbs this morning, a drop of 5lbs since Monday and a total drop of 12lbs since last Monday when I was 11st 6lbs. .

Keep up the good work ladies! xxx

Hey MHE - well done on the 121bs .

Have felt good in myself all week. Had a glass of baileys on Thurs (had major trauma with trying to book our holiday and DH said to have a glass of something and chill - so I took his advice )

But today, things have gone wrong (a bit). Went over to my parents for lunch and Mum had done yorkshire puddings - which I would not normally have anyway, not because I don't like them, but weight watching is usually in the back of my mind) but I had some. We then had roast beef, I piled my plate with loads of veggies, but she had done new potatoes and croquet potatoes (which I love) and could not help myself and had some. I then went on to have xmas pudding with brandy cream and two chocolates.

Since we came home, I have eaten two thick slices of bread toasted and a bowl of cereal (skimmed milk though) with a sliced banana

Tomorrow, we are going to Pizza Express , so I am going to have toast for breakfast, veg soup for lunch and then find the lightest option on the menu.

bump for today

went for weigh in a ww on thursday, i was disappointed i'd put on half a pound.

but i'd been very fed up all week, and not very well organised.

been feeling much more motivated since, and i've just tried on lots of my clothes which are too tight, and some of them feel like they may fit me ok in a few weeks

Better luck for next week's weigh in tlk

We have just been out for a pizza and I feel really really full, but I did only have homemade veg soup for lunch (counts as no points with ww) so hopefully should even itself out if I am really strict tomorrow.

hiya

signing in with my weekly weigh-in, lost 1lb this week and considering i had a few bad days i don't think thats bad. im still not drinking enough water though.

ive been very good at the supermarket too, luckily for me the sweetie and crisp aisles are the last in the shop so its easy to avoid them.

Hi all, well dome mum, thats amazing

Wish me luck for later, I'm getting weighed today. I've been so good this week, so really hope I show a loss. Please keep everything crossed for me!!! xx

Well done to everyone who's lost some of them lbs

I've weighed myself this morning and I'm 12st 8lb, so that's a 2lb loss .
I will be better this week as I overate last week due to buffets at work (must resist!)
I only went on the treadmill 3 times too,so will aim for every night this week!

hello,
i want to see my pubes, not just my gut!
and i want not to have to decide whether to wear my belt under or over my belly....

weightwise i'm 12 12 and would like to go under 12 as my 1st goal.

i nearly did it on the katybumper nipple tassle threads last year but lost my focus and it crept back on.just writing down what i eat and thinking about what i put in my mouth(less fat, lower gi choices) seemed to work for me last time

have progressive ms and find it difficult to walk so my excercise is limited to core strength stuff and hand jiving with dd.

Well done on the weight loss and wow to MHE, 12lbs is amazing.

I appear to have gained a pound this week, but as my DS slept eight hours last night my boobs were fit to burst this morning. I'm thinking there was a least a couple of pounds of milk in them

Maybe I need to weigh in the evening when he's been feeding all day and my boobs are pretty empty?

Am going to try really hard this week, but it seems that as soon as I decide I'm dieting I get endless cravings for chocolate and chips

Thanks official weigh in this morning, and still at 10st 8lbs, so definitely 5lbs off this week, was hoping for another wee 1lb but it wasn't to happen.

LackaDaisycal, I'd say that milk must definitely weigh a few lbs at least! Weighing either at night or in the morning after you've fed sounds like a better idea. As don't forget you'll have the weight of the food you've eaten during the day on you at night time.

Trying cutting down on the carbs and you'll find that after about three days your cravings for nasty bad carbs have gone away!

I'm struggling a wee bit today, craving food, nothing bad, just something like a ham or egg mayo salad. If it keeps up I'll probably have a meal tonight, either that or I need to drink more water!

Wishing you all a good day that is munchie free

Well done to all of you who've lost weight! MHE, I admire you for sticking to the shakes etc - don't think I could do it.

How's Lewis doing - as she's the one who started the thread - anyone know??

The work trousers I'm wearing are definitely looser. Haven't got up the courage to weigh myself though. Low carb really suits me as I could happily never eat chocolate again, but am happier nibbling on a bit of goats cheese. No milk in my coffee/tea has taken longer to get used to, but I'm on black coffee now.

Well done Swedishmum! Are you just going by your clothes and not weighing yourself? I wish I could stay away from the scales but I'm totally addicted! . Its the one thing that keeps me going.

The no food thing is tough, but I've found it easier taking one day at a time, so if I really want a meal tonight (low fat, low carb of course) then I'll have one.

This is definitely much easier than thinking that I CANNOT eat at all.

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah I've been to get weighed and I've lost 4 and 1/2 pounds, so delighted!!!! And I've been ok with it, so I'm really over the moon.

I go on holiday on the 22nd July so I really really really want to have lost 2 stones by then. I've lost 13 pounds now, so off we go....

wow well done all you fab people v bad weekend here - DH's birthday so far too much alcohol, take away, roast lunch, cake etc I don't dare go anywhere near the scales!

Do you have to have 2+ stone to lose to join ??

I am currently 9 stone 9lbs but I am only 5'2. I would ideally like to get down to 8 stone 7.

As my name suggests, I am addicted to carbs and this is my biggest problem. Have just been reading up on good carbs as I know I cannot cut them out all together, and I assume that would be bad for me anyway.

I think idea of only having to lose 1lb a week would be good for me as I have never managed to stick to any other diet and my weight is creeping up and up. Even if this only changed my eating habits that would be a start as I eat junk.

So, anyone mind if I join in ?

No, join us, the more the merrier

Tbh, I'm finding this thread really useful, if I'm feeling as if I'm going to give in and raid the biscuits I come on here and have a read/post and it gets me past it!

I follow SW and on Green days you can have as much potato and pasta as you want, Carbjunkie, which suits me fine. I have given the bread up mostly, though, as although you can have a set amount I like thick, crusty soft bread smothered in butter, which isn't quite what they mean!!!!!! Would SW be any good for you?

Forgot to weigh myself this morning, so have just hopped on the scales now have lost 1 1b.

Am going to try and have a really good week.

Well done to everyone else

and to you, bellavita

Can I join please?

I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 12st 3 lbs. I would like to get down to 10st ideally, but to be honest I would be happy with losing even half a stone. I seem to be stuck!

I can't handle the sensation of being hungry, it makes me feel sick and hollow and really really sleepy, does anyone else get this? I know it sounds ridiculous, but it means I have to eat quite frequently. I try to snack on fruit and nuts and healthy things, but really I just eat too much. I have a pretty healthy diet, lots of home made food, veggies and fruit. I have a weakness for chocolate. And carbs in general!

Help! I hope this thread will help keep me motivated!!

With me it was never really about what I ate at meals, it was all the stuff I ate the rest of the time, esp at night. Which explains why I'm on here such a lot now

Wooo hoo to all the good news on here tonight and all the new peeps, the more the merrier I saw . Extra well done Ladymariner and Bellavita. Keep it up!

Coveredinsnot, that was my problem too, I just love food, although I eat overall healthily I just have far too big portions. And since I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago I cannot stand the feeling of being hungry. IT HURTS! I think its excess acid or something. I too am a carb addict!
Cambridge has helped me with both of thse problems by 1. breaking away from carbs and 2. being in Ketosis so I don't have hunger pangs .

Been a reasonably good girl today, although I have had a mix of Cambridge and Atkins. Had my cambridge bar at lunch time and then had a pork loin steak with an egg at dinner. I really needed to eat a meal, plus my wee boy is complaining I wasn't sitting down to eat so yes I used that as an excuse. As I've said, one day at a time, so I'll see how I go tomorrow. I don't think thats too bad though considering I've had nothing else except a couple of cups of tea.

Here's to tomorrow!

Yes, where is Lewis? Get back here you and stop hiding. This is YOUR thread!

I say, Not I saw tut at me
