    My two week weigh in:
    SW 184.2
    CW 181.4
    GW 164.2
    This is so agonizingly slow compared to the swimsuit season dieting I did in my 20's. Does anyone else feel they are spending way more time shopping, preparing, cooking and cleaning up in the kitchen? Reading cookbooks, searching the internet for recipes and finding acceptable substitutes for traditional ingredients.

    Hi, Marie!
    When we see "st" after the weight, it means "stone". In the UK and a few other places, 1 "stone" is equal to 14 pounds. Just multiply to get pounds.

    Thanks so 1 stone equal to 14 lbs. Wow you have to lose a lot to lose a stone.. Not fair. But I will just look to see if you numbers are getting smaller Thanks sugar pie

    I'm a teacher from Scotland and I'm trying to beat my progress last year (lost 24lbs last jan-may and have put about 10 back on over the year). This has deffo motivated me rather than put me off because I know I can do it!

    Hello Marie,

    It took me a while to get through all the posts but everyone is doing fabulous. The motivation and support is overwhelming. I hope everyone sticks with their plan.

    Today I had lunch with a friend, but I often choose places that will not sabotage my eating plan. Today I ate at Panera Bread and had an Avocado chicken cobb salad and coffee.
    I never finish all of it because its too big.

    I had my Yoga class today and wasn't going to stay for the meditation but there was a room full of people and no one moved so I ended up staying and it was very relaxing and I am glad I did.

    Have a motivated day my friends.

    LINDA from Northern, Ontario. I am from Southern Ontario and I now what you mean about the cold. We have a cottage near North Bay.
    I hope it warms up for you guys.

    Shirley

    Hey everyone! This week has been tough! I've been pretty strict on my diet and I've been craving suga! Not sugar but suga!! Suga is the fluffy deliciousness in cakes, cookies, and pies! You know the cookie bars when they melt in your mouth! Yeah... That's suga! smiles. Nevertheless.. I don't like how suga looks on my thighs... so I shall carry on! I'm looking forward to seeing what this strict week does for my body and my scale numbers. I definitely can tell a difference in my clothes and jeans. LOL Even my underwear! No more rolling under my belly! sorry TMI! We're half way through this week and let's finish off strong!!!

    :D Sparkle , where do you live that it gets so icy?

    :D Caresshudson, the best way to get beyond all the sugar cravings is to stay away from it completely.....the craving will lessen.

    (*) today is our anniversary so we went out for Chinese food for lunch......brought half of it home and had he rest for supper....walked 19,000 steps, went to line dance class in the morning, and rode the exercise bike for over an hour in the afternoon. :D

    Happy Anniversary Barbie! I hope it was lots of fun!

    I live in Ireland! Most of the time here it's not especially icy but sometimes we can get ice and even snow in the winter if we get the back end of the polar vortex. This morning we actually had a red weather wind warning across the country so I decided to be safe and not go running in the morning. Last night I went to a very intense spin session anyway and I have my first adult ballet class tonight so still lots of ways to fit exercise in without being blown away!

    Last weigh in: 159lbs (8/1)
    Current Weight: 157lbs (15/1)

    I wasn't great with the eating last week. My partner and I go to a gaming group on Thursdays and Fridays and they often get take away, which was very hard to say no to last week. With the joy lost some sort of loss I'm more motivated today that I wont be getting expensive take out, instead I brought some food with me that I made last night! Here's hoping it pays off next week =)

    Happy Thursday everyone!!
