CW 182.2 posting up my regular Tuesday weigh in result, but will take it again on the 1st cos I am determined to achieve my goal of 182. I was determined to get some control last weekend but I still had to do a "Brahma" of a power walk 5.5 miles in 67 minutes to achieve today's result! Dead chuffed! Pink Princess thanks…

Double Groan CW 184.2 forgive me cos I have sinned!

Double Groan!!! THE SCALES FIGHT BACK with an "I Told You So Statement" all the piggin weekends finally paid the toll. This mornings weigh in was 184.2 a gain of 0.8 lbs since last week, and the first reverse in 9 weeks of MFP. I am devastated, as I thought I would have done enough exercise the last few days to have…

I have just had yet another "piggin weekend" which actaully started on Thursday with a 4 course meal out, and didn't get a lot better Frid.Sat & Sunday, but you just have to record it, and then it makes you even more determined to do better and to try and turn it round today. I did 19,000 steps with long walks yesterday to…

Not sure how to add this thread to my topics so just hope putting a reply on will do the trick. Am I right in thinking this is the topic to pick up the stats for last week when they are done?

Hi All, Really thought I had messed up with yet another pigging weekend gaining 3lb from Friday to Monday morning, but yet again a low calorie Monday coupled with a "Brahma Burn" of over a 1000 calories (did a 24 minute Power Walk in the morning, and the biggie in the evening of 5.75 miles in 70 minutes which was 4 minutes…

CW 183.4 Really thought I had messed up with yet another pigging weekend, but a low calorie Monday coupled with a "Brahma Burn" of almost a 1000 calories did the trick with a loss of 0.6 lbs not a lot but a loss is a loss!!!

Yahoo! Really thought I had blew it having put on just over 2lb over the weekend! But set my stall out yesterday for a low cal intake and thanks to the "Mother of all Power Walks" last night 5.75 miles in 74 minutes, I got the result I needed, and hopefully kicked my body in to accepting I am going to achieve my goal!

CW 1st March 187.2 Today 8th March 184.0 GW 1st April 182.0 Yahoo! Really thought I had blew it having put on just over 2lb over the weekend! But set my stall out yesterday for a low cal intake and thanks to the "Mother of all Power Walks" last night 5.75 miles in 74 minutes, I got the result I needed, and hopefully kicked…

Groan again? piggin weekends? Put on 2 lbs again over the weekend, and all because of overeating at the weekend, at friends for a dinner Friday night, and out with my Dad (celebrating his 92nd birthday) at the Toby Carvery (over a 1,000 calories for Saturday lunch). Didn't ease up much with Roast Chicken lunch on Sunday,…

Hi Pink Princess and all those up for a challenge, so here goes Start Weight 187.2 lbs 31st March 2011 weight 182 lbs I know some may say just over 5lbs is not a lot? but having lost 12 lbs in the first 6 weeks on MFP I think my goal should be realistic. Good Luck to everyone taking up the challenge and thanks for PP for…

Hi All Dead chuffed, my weekend of moderation coupled with a 3 hour hike on Sunday certainly paid dividends! Even managed to limit myself to just 1 Chicken Enchilada last night and no alcohol last night as well as 35 minutes of powerwalking brought me in at avery respectful 185.2 lbs thats a loss of 12.2 lbs in the first 6…

Groan!!! Put on 2 lbs this week, and all because of overeating at the weekend and at a presentation dinner last night. Not too downhearted though, as my overall weight loss of just under 8lbs in 5 weeks is still ahead of my target for loosing 22 lbs in 22 weeks. Just got to get back to more control and regular exercise,…

Very Brave KanCrav Posting up your drink concerns and the fact that you have seen the light and are prepared to face shedding pounds and drinking sensibly at the same time! Wish you luck and the strength to see it through. My small contribution is that having joined MFP 30 days ago I did reasonably well for the first 3…

Dead chuffed Worked really hard yesterday to right the wrong of the weekend, and even though I didn't do a great deal of exercise, by and large I ate sensibly. I got rid of all the weekends escesses and got down to a mind boggling 188 lbs, the best since I started this program. Onwards and downwards I hope!

Hi All, Don't feel so bad today, really buckled down to serious calorie control during the day yesterday knowing I was going out for a Valentines Day meal, and did almost an hour of steady walking during the day. Managed to pull back 1 lb of the 2 lbs I put on over the weekend and finished up at 1.2 lbs over last weeks…

Hi Sarah, I think you should congratulate yourself for the great performance over the weekend, you knew it was going to be a struggle, but you set your stall out to combat the likely increase in calories, and by and large you stuck to it, and an increase of just 0.4 Kg will easily be addressed during the coming week. Well…

Hi Sarah I used to have major problems with weekends as I get greater exposure to my wife's wonderful cooking? Like tiff said ideally try and have a good breakfast and the do 30 minutes of good cardio exercise, as soon as possible after that, at lunchtime ensure that you limit yourself to really low calorie food with an…

Thanks for the words of encouragement from Rubywell, glittersoul & meganroseD Feeling even better as at my weekly weigh in this morning I was 189.2, which means I have lost 8.2 lbs in my first 3 weeks on here. I do think it takes a while for the body to get used to the regime of a reduced calorie intake with less sugar and…

Hi Sarah I do agree with you about the Acai, mine was a free gift so I thought I would use up the 1 months supply, at the moment it gives me a dull ache feeling in my stomach, but it does seem to have stopped me craving lots of food. I am feeling a whole lot better about myself after two weeks having lost 5.8 lbs, but I…

Hi All, Really chuffed as I was down to 191.6 at the end of my second week, a loss of 5.8 lbs. Really starting to get the hang of this and managing to maintain and better my goal of 30 minutes exercise per day, and already feeling a whole lot better about myself!

Hi All, Dear me, only my second post, but it certainly set off some heated responses? I am sorry that was not my intention. As a newcomer replying to another newcomer, I was merely offering the advice that if you know you are going to be tempted by a group dinner to exceed your target calorie intake, then it makes sense to…

Hi Sarah, When you enter the exercise on the exercise page the 333 calories then transfers to your food page and you are the allowed to eat the 1533 calories and this will be your ideal for that day to still hit your target weight loss. Hope this explains how it works, the exercise credits you with the calories that you…

Hi Sarah Good Luck with those potential "pigging out" days? Do you drink your 8 glasses of water per day (it does seem a lot doesn't it?) but wondered if you had say 4 of those glasses before you go for your big meals would that make you feel full? also you need to estimate the calories you will eat and then offset them…

Hi us05 or Sarah You seem to havethe same sort of goals as myself I was 197.4 almost two weeks ago and I intend to loose 22 lbs to get down to my ideal weight of 12st 7lbs. I am logging all my calorie intake on mfp but although I am trying to eat healthily I am struggling to maintain a sensible portion size and have not…
