Hi Guys,

So i've decided my weigh in day will be a Friday - I'm hoping that doing it this way will motivate me to be good over a weekend! Although this may backfire :)

Anyway feel free to join me or add your own weigh ins on whatever day you like. you obviously don't have to way in in you prefer not to but I think it's a nice way to be able to congratulate and motivate each other.

Starting weight: 150 lbs
Current weight: 145 lbs
Weight loss this week: 5lbs

So i'm chuffed to bits but i imagine most of that is water weight and this will slow up next week :(

anyhoo, hope you're all doing well and had a good week.

I'm off to update my ticker - yay!

    Hi Ladies

    I have decided to joint too and will be weighing on a Friday morning (after i've been to loo and have nothing in my stomach!!! it all helps doesn't it!?)

    My starting weight is 174 pounds

    I'm planning on following a simple diet that has worked for me in the past which is nothing but fruit before 11 (it's easier to breakdown apaz) then a low fat soup and salad for lunch with protein and veg/salad for dinner. Snacks included raw veg and houmous/mint yoghurt, handfull of nuts or more fruit.

    What is everyone else on?

    I hope to have a loss on here by Friday!

    Good luck ladies!

    Well done all of you so far, great results.

    I weighed in on Sunday and was 3 lbs down which was not so bad given I had a good week but I'd been at a BBQ on Saturday night where a little (*cough*) bit of alcohol was consumed. Everyone laughed at me when I brought my own bit of mackeral to stick on the BBQ instead of the mountains of meat that were being cooked but clearly it helped :)

    Bringing your own food is always a winner. I literally carry a cool bag around. *Diet diva*.

    I am trying to only drink vodka on Tuesdays. And no mixers. You drink less vodka when it's just vodka in the glass.

    AND NUTS SEEM TO BE MY SAVIOUR. Apparently snacking on a few nuts *with* fruit is better than eating either alone. I don't know the science. And I probably read it in The Daily Mail. Yeah.

    Poppy, just don't do what I did and scoff a whole bag because you mis-read the calories!

    +1 for nuts... protein to keep you feeling full and blood sugars level (insert science bit here) and good fat, which everyone needs a it of :)

    Only 1 pound off for me this week :-(

    I'm blaming TOTM and a little bit of a naughty weekend last weekend.

    Still - it's a pound in the right direction.

    Well done Ellybelly - 3lb is awesome xx

    1 pound is still good, have you ever seen a picture of what that looks like? Not only is it disgusting, but it's a lot!

    Also, at the risk of sounding like a weight loss consultant "it's better to loose a pound than put on a pound!"

    2.4lbs in 10 days. Not gonna lie, it feels AGONISINGLY slow. I want a jaffa cake binge. Does anyone else just get really really bored?
  • marina_partlett

    lol - yep! Boredom is pretty much always the reason for any diet failure i have. I'm quite lucky at the minute as so busy with wedding planning that it's not too bad!

    I've decided (finally) that my weekly weigh in will be on Fridays because it's the day I can remember the most. I'm half out of it on Sunday mornings, and Mondays are not my friends, so Friday it is. It'll have to be next week though, because I forgot to do it today and only remembered AFTER eating dinner, but this will give me time to try and get some more weight off, so wish me luck!!! :bigsmile:

    Apparently, I heard that's normal. Even for a dog - no kidding, I read that on a pet website where I have an overweight Dachshund.

    Weigh in day for me and 2 more nasty pounds gone! I'm super chuffed.

    I am off to try wedding dresses on next Saturday so that should be all the motivation i need to get me through next week and hopefully under the 140 mark!

    Good luck ladies weighing in today xx

    Not fair!!! :grumble:

    Starting weight 228.8 pounds
    Current weight 231.8 pounds!!!!! Nooooooo!!! :sad:

    Don't know where I went wrong there. I'm gonna have to take a more careful watch on my food and exercise this week.

    Up 3 pounds, not fair... :grumble:

    So I added 3lbs over 2 weeks (Reading Festival and holiday in Barcelona are to blame) - which actually wasn't as bad as I'd feared!

    I've knocked off 1lb since coming back and I'm hitting the gym 5 times this week including my first ever Body Pump class - scared! - so should be able to lose the other 2 by Sunday and get back under 10st again which would be loooovely. If I *do* lose the other 2lbs I'm going to spoil myself with some glorious red wine on Sunday night :)

    Fingers crossed...

    Good luck everyone!!!

    Well done ladies!

    So I missed last Friday's weigh in as I was at Bestival, but when i returned on monday I was chuffed to see I had stayed the same. I won't count it though as it was on a monday.

    I'll weigh in properly on Friday. I've no idea what the scales will say as i've been eating lots of comfort food after 4 days camping!

    Well done Marina! Enjoy your wedding dress shopping, it's so much fun!

    I put 1 lbs on, but i'm not too worried as I was at a festival. Back being strict now!

    Cooking some seafood tapas tonight to pick at!

    Happy Friday everyone, good luck for your weigh ins!

    I'm so sad, it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up!

    I lost a pound this week, so back on track.

    I've put half a stone on since travelling to Barcelona, New York and hotel living for London Fashion Week. Entirely my own fault, was very aware that I was eating EVERYTHING and boozing like there was no tomorrow. Luckily feeling so hideous at sight of own reflection this weekend that Monday *should* be a new beginning. On a girly weekend in Manchester this weekend so again, lots of booze and food, but Monday I shall be gymming again and trying to cut back on wheat and NOT DRINKING VODKA ALL THE TIME.

    I've never had such poor self control! Astounded at my own laziness. FFS.

    Luckily still have quite a bit of time til target loss (Jan) xxx

    Hi Everyone,

    Down 2 lbs this week and going for a few more think week hopefully. I am trying to lower the carb intake by avoiding bread, pasta, and potatoes this week and trade them for salads. Hope this helps to keep me motivated.

    Hi Leslie - well done for 2lbs off! Avoiding bread, pasta and potatoes is hard, but don't restrict yourself too much, just have a little!

    I've lost another pound this week, was hoping for 2 as eaten well and been running. But still happy! Nearly 1/2 a stone lost!

    How's everyone else been this week?

    Me again, does anyone weigh in on a Friday still?

    I lost 2 lbs this week and went to an 8lbs loss! I'm so chuffed, so chuffed in fact that i've persuaded my work colleagues to go out for lunch!

    Good luck to everyone else!

    xx
