This is not a *slimming club* really.

I think it would be nice to have a place to come & chat about weight loss ideas (safe sensible ones only please!),
to share personal experiences and achievements, and also to ask for help.

Lindi is our resident expert, and has kindly offered her help.
Just introduce yourself and come on in, you are most welcome!

[census*seeker]

[**clare**]

Its ok census seeker 😄

I thought i had it in the bag, then wham!

Nevermind, its not the end of the world 😉

[census*seeker]

Its not something I notice

[ivvie]

Well done Census Seeker. 🙂

I had a great week this week - lost 3.5 lbs bringing my total loss to a whopping 48 lbs!! I plan to get silver seven number 7 next week - though if I can lose 2 lbs I'll get a special certificate for losing 50 lbs!

The great news is that I am now only 4 lbs from goal so despite the fact that I go on holiday at the end of next week (after my weigh day!) it shouldn't be too much longer until I get there.

(Had a huge blueberry muffin to celebrate! Hee hee.)

[census*seeker]

ivvie, Well done to you, thats a really good loss over all. How long has it taken you?. I didnt stipulate a target I just thought i will go for 7 pound at a time.

Hi everyone

Ivvie, you are an inspiration to us all. You must feel fantastic losing nearly 501bs, I bet you look great too!! My WW meeting is tonight and I am hoping to shift more than my usual ½1b as I have done some walking (ankle improved) and have drank loads of flavoured water. Have lost 11 lbs so far and can't wait to get another silver seven.

[ivvie]

Lynne I have been going to ww for a year. I knew that it would take quite some time to shift my excess weight! When I first started I didn't have a goal weight either cos I had so much to lose it would put me off. I always said I would never get to goal! Then when I was 10 lbs above my goal weight my leader noticed that I said "If I get to goal I am going to treat myself to a manicure"! When I got to 7 lbs above goal she noticed that the "if" became a "when". Now goal is in sight I am happy to count down towards it and will probably aim to lose a further half stone after I reach it. But if I had set a goal weight as soon as I joined I would have left again cos it would have seemed impossible! Even my husband is surprised that I have stuck with it and how determined I am!

Yes, I look much better - still got too much tummy which is why I think I can lose a further half stone beyond goal but it gives me a real buzz to buy clothes in normal shops rather than hunting through the frumpy stuff in the oversized departments! 🙂

My advice is keep at it! Believe in yourself. If I can do it (and I love to eat and enjoy food) then really anyone can. WW is brilliant because it isn't a diet so you aren't deprived of anything at all. (I wish they paid me for everytime I recommended them!!) And if you have a bad week look back at what you have already achieved and it will help you get over the bump and back on track.

Hi all!
Well I haven't weighed in now for two classes, the first was bank holiday & the second (last monday) I was at Disneyland Paris.
It's so hard to eat healthily at the park, mostly burgers & chips etc although we did go to Planet Hollywood & managed to get steak & new potatoes, which was great until we caught sight of the sweet menu!
Just couldn't resist! which is unusual for me as I don't usuall go for a pud'.
Anyway it was sooooooo yummy I had to eat it all!
I thought with all that walking around I would easily burn it off!
WRONG!!
I got on my scales when we arrived home & they say i have gained 3lb!! EEEEEK!
And after all that walking!
So if thats accurate I better get my skates on & get it back off before I go to my next meeting on Monday night.
I have 5 days to shift it,
don't want any circles on my weighing in card!

Wish me luck as I reach for the salad! lol

[golfi_has_a_posting_id]

hello 🙂
I have gained 4 Ib 😐
I had a eating disorder a few years ago, and feel myself slipping, ate one meal yesterday, and just made myself eat a yogurt now, I can feel the power tug battle about to start were I say I didnt eat and dont need too 😐
so trying to eat a little and often, or I will end up where I was before 😞

[bad--kitty!]

I managed to maintain my weight this week - am feeling very blue today though, so I've had to be strict and not bring any money into work with me, otherwise I'd just go to the canteen at dinnertime and spend it all on cake 😞

[golfi_has_a_posting_id]

aww bad kitty, have a apple

[michaeljackson45]

Is anyone here doing Slimming World?

[golfi_has_a_posting_id]

some have on here dont remember who though 😄

[sparkle_dust_2003]

I've done slimming world!
The first time I did, I got to my goal but since then I have tried it many times but it no longer works for me.
(got a bit complacement me thinks)
Currently on WW & so far so good! lol
If you have any questions though MJ45, I may be able to help you!
Good luck, it is a great plan that you will never be hungry but difficult if you like going out a lot!

[ivvie]
