I have tried Rosemary Conley, and while I really enjoyed the exercise sessions, I didn't get any motivation at all from the 'talks'. I struggled with the diet and didn't lose much weight. It felt like I was doing the diet from the books with no support and just paying for an exercise class with a weigh in! I could have…

Lost 3lb this week. Well pleased.

I've been missing for a couple of weeks. I have been away on holiday, but I'm back and am going to try and report weekly again. I have to report a gain of 4lb - oops!

WI dates : 3/4/13 159.5 - stayed the same 9/4/13. 158.5 - lost 1b

Stayed the same. Pleased considering it was Easter.

I'd like to join in. I was looking for a new challenge. SW : 172 CW. 159.5 GW 130 WI : 3/4/13 : 159.5 - stayed the same Just for fun ; This month I want to track everything I eat, as I've been getting a bit lax recently. Also I'm trying to do something active every single day - even if it is just a 30 minute walk.

I can remember the very first Doctor! I remember watching the Daleks from behind the sofa -they couldn't see me there, I thought. I've been hooked ever since. I'm not sure about tonight's episode. As others have said it seemed to lack something - almost as though it was part of an episode. Maybe they will build on it next…

I'm just going to log my weight loss, if that's OK. MY loss for this week is half a pound

I don't think you should cut out any food, after all this is a lifestyle change and I don't imagine you would want to cit it out forever.. Just work it into your calorie allowance. Wholemeal is the best option for pasta, but I know some people don't like it.. Sainsburys have a whole and white variety which could be a good…

Last week I gained 1lb (I have now posted on the right thread) This week I lost 1lb. If I can figure out what I did, maybe I can do it again!

Gained 1lb - sorry I forgot to post!

Mine is private. This is a very personal journey, and I log everything - after all why not? If I leave things out because they are 'bad' then the only person I am cheating is myself. I am quite capable of reviewing each day and learning from my mistakes. So long as my general weight loss trends are downwards I am happy.

Ooooh, I didn't know you could edit the recipes. Thanks for asking the question.

Weekends are my problem too. I log everything and don't beat myself up over how many calories I have gone over!! Over time I am finding myself trying to be more active at the weekends to give me more calories to play with. Takeouts are slowly moving towards a monthly treat rather than every weekend. As someone said…

1lb lost this week. Really pleased as I had expected a gain.

Well I lost 1lb at weigh in this week. I worked really hard, and hope that this is the start of me getting back on track again. Haven't had that much success so far this year. Good luck for March everyone.

Stayed the same. I'm trying to look at it positively, but I would have loved to see te scales moving downwards. Oh well, maybe next week.

Last posted weight : 162lbs This week : 160.25lb Weight lost : 1.75lbs

I have a couple of suggestions which may help. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Personally I find it harder to remember to drink water etc in the winter when its cold, but we still need lots of fluid to stay hydrated. The other suggestion is to mix up your meals. Try foods you don't normally eat, and try out a…

Thanks for your comments everyone. It is interesting to get other peoples take on these things. My first experience of a 'one size fits all' diet is not proving to be good. In the light of the advice some of you have kindly offered, I am going to eat back some of my exercise calories and see what that does. If I still…

sadly lost nada! Gutted. No loss is not good enough - must try harder for the coming week.

Bump

Thanks. Funniest thing I've read in ages

Great thread. I'm also looking for ideas - thanks everyone.

Pleased to say that I have lost 1lb this week.

It does happen that the body takes a few weeks to adjust to a new eating plan - even if you have been eating healthily anyway. It could even be that you are doing a little more exercise. I would give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Hopefully you will have a good loss next week. Stick with it!

Didn't have a very good weekend, and have been a bit lax on the exercise. I have still managed to lose 1/2 a pound. Pleased with that.

OMG! I have only been away for 10 days, and so many posts - I will never catch up. We had a fabulous holiday in Lanzarotte (Canary Islands). It was warm and sunny, and we did lots every day. Best bit of it, I think, was a submarine safari - the fish were spectacular, and we were able to see a diver feed a ray fish -…

I have gained 1lb, but I am not disheartened. I was is away on holiday last week and was more relaxed in my food choices. It could have been so much worse!
