Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 216 Total weight lost: 15 Weekly loss: -1 This weeks successes: Dropped a pound and exercised three times so back on track. This week's challenges: Weekend off and it's scorchio. Nothing better than chilling out in the sun but therein lies poor food and exercise…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 216 Total weight lost: 16 Weekly loss: +2 This weeks successes: Dropped a pound but put two back on as been on holiday for a couple of weeks and really overindulged. I suppose only gaining a couple of pounds is a result. This week's challenges: Back on nights, so…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 215 Total weight lost: 17 Weekly loss: 0.5 This weeks successes: Change of treat day to Tuesday so half a pound between treat days rather than the usual 7 day gap means I'm on track This week's challenges: Getting back into exercising now I'm off night shifts for a few…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 215 Total weight lost: 16 Weekly loss: 0 This weeks successes: Staying the same. Went on a course for two days and I presumed the fancy named restaurant would serve healthy food but the only carbs on offer was white bread so went over, so goes to prove never assume and…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 215 Total weight lost: 16 Weekly loss: 3.5 This weeks successes: As I hoped for, a bit of a woosh week, so working nights does have one advantage I suppose. This week's challenges: Big, big treat day today so will have to up the exercise to balance it back. Thanks to…

How you getting on? What diet/exercise you using? A third of the way through I thought it would be useful to find out how you're getting on and what you're doing to lose weight. We might be able to pick up tips off each other? I'm four pounds behind schedule, which isn't insurmountable, and is due to too many treat days.…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 218.5 Total weight lost: 12.5 Weekly loss: 0 This weeks successes: Somehow staying the same weight despite having a change of treat day so "overspent last Saturday and Tuesday", nothing now until next Saturday so expect weight loss to continue. This week's/months…

Starting weight: 231 Goal weight: 186 Current weight: 218.5 Total weight lost: 12.5 Weekly loss: 0 This weeks successes: Somehow staying the same weight despite overdoing it over Easter. This week's challenges: On nights from Thursday for a week so a change of treat day

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 219 lbs Week weight loss: +1 Total weight lost: 11lbs This week's successes: The gain is not entirely unexpected as I had to work last weekend, therefore my treat day moved from Saturday to Tuesday so three less days to burn the excess off plus I've been…

You've missed my point. What I'm saying is I exercise and stay the same weight, have a lapsed week yet lose a couple of pounds.

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 219 lbs Week weight loss: 2 Total weight lost: 12lbs This week's successes: Somehow losing 2 pounds. Ate well but three days of alcohol and only one day of exercise. This week's challenges: Trying to work out weight loss v wellness and how to achieve…

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 221 lbs Week weight loss: 0 Total weight lost: 10lbs This week's successes: None. Quite disappointed as the belt is very nearly at the next notch and belly seems smaller. Really behaved this week, food and exercise wise. Measurement week is next week so…

OP, if you're making these SW dishes from scratch you're better off using the recipe builder.[/quote] Recipe builder? Where do I find that?

Welcome. People are joining all the time so jump in. My weigh- in is a Saturday morning, which is also my treat day so I get a full six days to get the blubber off! Working so far to be fair

So does anyone know how many people are still here from 1st Jan? I did PM someone (can't remember who) and they said they were preparing a spreadsheet

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 221 lbs Week weight loss: 0 Total weight lost: 10lbs This week's successes: Having stayed the same after a week of exercise and staying within calorie limits, I've gone through my intake with a fine toothcomb and found that my sugar intake has been over…

This is exactly how I feel. No trying to run a marathon a day with a bag of cement on your back whilst feasting on raw egg and lettuce, just sensible eating, learning about calorific values through MFP and making necessary adjustments. This way you can treat yourself to the odd drink and dirty food whilst still losing…

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 221 lbs Week weight loss: -1 Total weight lost: 10lbs This week's successes: Another pound off despite the three extravagant nights. I balanced them with exercise and being slightly under calorie target on other days. This week's challenges: Don't know to…

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 222 lbs Week weight loss: -1 Total weight lost: 9lbs This week's successes: Three visits to the gym seemed to just about outweigh the two extravagant days. Still on target though and body measurements reducing (except for hips) This week's challenges:…

I found it frustrating exercising and not losing so I went the other way and stopped. So while I've lost weight the last couple of weeks my…

"I want to go thru and see how many have dropped off this thread. If I have the chance I will PM them to come back". Would be interesting and even motivational to some to find out what percentage are either still participating or dropped out.

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 223 lbs Week weight loss: -1 Total weight lost:8lbs This week's successes: Kept the Healthy Extra principles of SW which really helped in keeping within calorie range, hence the loss. I think it would have been more but I had to move my treat day. It's…

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 227 lbs Week weight loss: +1lbs Total weight lost:4lbs This week's successes: "Only" put on a pound despite a week of excess in Dublin and no exercise This week's challenges: Have eaten some stodgy and sweet rubbish today in relation to excess alcohol so…

Remember how bad you felt at weight gain caused by drinking and eating rubbish and use that disappointment to motivate you next time you're tempted

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs Goal weight: 186 lbs Current weight: 226 lbs Week weight loss: +1lbs Total weight lost:5lbs This week's successes: Measured myself and lost inches, so that balances no weight loss.
