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!

Mornin' everyone 🙂
No WI yesterday because of BH. Had a great weekend although I didn't point a thing and ate curries, chinese, pizza, fish n chips :_| but when I weighed myself at home it said that I have lost 3lbs! 😮 🙂
I am going to get straight back on track this week and hope to lose some more before next week's WI. It's strange how when you have a blow out you can lose weight and sometimes when you track religiously you put on weight!
Jay & Sparkle, get back on track!! Best of luck to all who have WI's this week. 🙂

Lily I don’t understand it either lol! The weeks I track and point everything I either lose ½ lb, stay the same or put on. When I eat near enough what you had listed I lose 2-3 ½ lbs lol.
Sparkle well done hun. I know what you mean though, Christmas is just round the corner and sometimes losing ½ lb or 1lb can be a little annoying because I suppose we all want to lose it quickly. I have been drinking 3 litres of water a day to try and see if that makes a difference at next Monday’s WI. My god I don’t half go to the toilet a lot!:^O

Hi, I'm back off my holidays in Cornwall, where it seems there is a wide choice of naughty things to eat, clotted cream teas, pasties, cornish ice-cream, lots of fish and chips etc, and of course just to be polite and enter into the holiday spirit I ate 'em all!!! Oh, and went to the pub every night!
And I lost 1 lb this week!!!!!!!!!
How wierd!
Went clothes shopping today and my 1 stone loss so far as resulted in my new jacket being 2 sizes smaller, my trousers being 1 size smaller (don't mind that as I am top-heavy) and my SHOES being a size smaller too!!!! I never thought about losing weight off my feet, and it wasn't a fluke pair as I tried on loads of shoes today! (Mom had the kids and I was let loose in Birmingham by myself - BLISS!!)
Anyway, back on it now!

Well done Kate!
& lol @ the munch out! so hard to resist in those circumstances lol but what the heck, ya got away with it lol.
Oooh, that must have felt great to buy the smaller sizes!
I can't wait for that day.
Our son (4yo) starts big school a week on monday so I am going to make the effort (with the extra time on my hands)to rejoin the gym, after 5 years of no proper exercise.
I still have our 18 month daughter to play with each day but it will be so much easier to put her in the creche for an hour every now & then, while I try & get fit again.
(I had two caesarians which didn't help with the fitness regime).
I have also made an enquiry about hypnosis to stop smoking (haven't heard back yet but it was only this morning lol) so now I am going to take the bull by the horns & sort myself out!
One way or another.
Feeling very positive today 🙂
I haven't been writing down my points, have been doing it mentally up until now so I will put pen to paper in a mo'
Good luck everyone, will let you know how I get on :^O

Thanks Sparkle, you sound so full of motivation at the moment. Good luck with giving up smoking as well, that's something I intend to do one day as well.

hey melody
know what u r talking about.
i used to have midnight-attacks
and sometimes i wake up early in the morning an my body is screaming for sugar
i've stopped shopping for snacks
anything you can eat out of a packet does not enter the house
if the only thing you have in the frigde is cabbage and asparagus you don't feel like eating any more.
as to the exercise:
i go every day after work for 1 hour. and i force myself to go every day. if i'm not feeling like exercise i will still go and swim a few lanes instead of doing propper workout.
weekends you can allow yourself a break and can even have a take-away. as long as you are back in the gym on monday.
and soon you'll look like me:
hihihi
