I would say that is definitely due to weighing in on a morning last week. So I would take that as a STS last week and a loss of 1lb this week or vice versa
You will be down next week for sure
Yeah thats what my sister said, makes sense I suppose! Here's hoping anyway Thanks for the encouragement! 0 -
Hi
It's been quite some time since I've posted but I read religiously every day to see how you're all doing.
I've been a total mess for past 4 months or so due to some personal issues but its time to stop the messing about and jump back on the wagon!
Last June, I was 1.5lb away from goal after losing 9st 1lb.
Today, I'm 40lb away! :eek:
I think my head is in the right space again (at last!) so onwards and downwards. 0 -

9 stone is a huge achievement - well done for that. And im sure you know that if you have done it once you can do it again. It would be so easy to stay away for good, or let the whole 9 st go back on. So its great to be jumping back on the wagon. Best of luck with y our restarted journey
Look forward to seeing you post on here and how you are getting on. 0 -

You should be so so proud of yourself for getting that far! It's unbelievably inspirational. Think of the past year as an adjustment period.... now you're ready for stage 2! Best of luck 0 -

Just back from lunch... what a beautiful day...
Been really, really good today... Had granary toast with low low cheese and a banana for breakfast, one of the tesco 4pp seeded wraps with low low, turkey and salad and a pack of treble crunch for lunch... 14pp used today... going to stick within the dailies today.
Im off at 4 today so have a plan. Going to get the bus to Clondalkin Village to the library and get out my new books (am mad for reading at the moment - I can't read and eat at the same time
) and walk home from there.
Its probably only a mile but it would be a good start for today. Going to use my runkeeper app. going to hit the park later too. The little one got rollerblades at the weekend so she is keeping up the pace with me...
I have done almost 10 miles just walking/jogging since Sunday so Im not doing too badly, I hope :P Then I have been doing the muscle training and the boxing on the wii fit later in the evenings. Just 30 mins each night but I have been pushing myself to make the calorie target each night.
WI tomorrow, and I just realised when i lose the next 2lb I will be half way to goal... Thats a great motivator! 0 -

You are so good for the exercise Ali - I wish I could do even half as much as you! The weather is a great motivator for drinking lots of water and eating fruit and salad though which is great!RachaelFergie wrote: »We have these little €1 choc coins in work and I'm eating to many!! Would ye reckon they would be more than a point each??
Depends on the size - I know little milka tabs are 1pp each and they are pretty light, lighter than I would expect a chocolate coin to be. Try look up nutritional info online. They may be 1 pp each but 3pp for 2 of them. Just be careful with things like that.0 -

You will be grand. It's normal to feel apprehensive but as long as you have been good then you've nothing to worry about

Do you want to give me some tips on this?! Exams are coming up next month and I'm the master of studying and eating at the same :rolleyes:
Well done on the walking. That there is the perfect example of a life long change. Incorporating exercise into your everyday lifestyle is a really good way of ensuring that the weight stays off!!
I just did the 30 Day Shred for the first time today and I thought I was going to die. I had to stop half way through as I was about to get sick. I would've considered myself capable of exercise before this. I do Davina's DVDs regularly and I can do a good 6k walk in an hour.0 -

The walking is a making a big difference to me. Well exercise in general. I am 2.5lbs off the lowest I had got to in WW before (that was 2 years ago) but looking at pics from then and pics from last weekend, I actually look slimmer. Before I used to kill myself with the food side. e.g a sambo made from one slice of bread with a scrape of spread, some light cheese and a big plate of salad. I was on a rabbit food diet and although the weight came off, it went back on soooooooo quickly, so this time I am making more of an effort to get moving, but to get moving to the level that I can maintain. A half hour walk a day, a bit of Wii fit, a bit of tennis or basketball... you know yourself.
I also registered for the mini marathon yesterday so there is something to work towards too!!! 0 -

Oooh I'm doing that too. At the height of my fitness and weight loss I could do it in 1hr 6mins - no way im getting close to that this year but hopefully will build myself back to that for this time next year!0 -
Im in the same boat, i weighed myself on sat....up5 >:(
BUT got back on the wagon 2day and as an extra bit of motivation im going getin myself a shiny new notebook tomorrow for my tracking so i can really start afresh.
Tis week wil b tough tho, iv family coming home from the us for a confirmation on fri so theres goin to be a few family gatherings, and my family, well lets jus say we likes our food, so will hav 2 try and be as good as i can and up the exercise!!!
Have to say, really thought I was off the wagon for good there, but with a few encouraging words I thought I'd start small again today and not build it up into this huge thing that is not accomplishable. So have been tracking and good enough with my food today. The brown bread of my sambo brings up my points and leaves less for my dinner, so I hope I have the willpower this evening not to go over. But I feel a small sense of accomplishment today for having gotten back on the wagon today having really thought I'd lost it. Glad you're starting again now too. Best of luck in sticking with it.. for both of us 0 -

You will get there in the end slow and steady wins the race !
Went for a lovely 6 km walk today really enjoyed it, found factor 50 though so I hope I didn't get burnt again!
Hope I see my strange 2 pound gain vanish this Thursday at WI

I have also. I've done it the last 2 years. Just a good steady forward walking pace though. My lungs would no doubt collapse if I tried to run/jog it. A great day out though and always worth it to raise funds for charity 0 -

You were doing brilliantly... and the fact that you can motivate yourself to get back on the wagon so quickly is even better... i usually hit months of self loathing and feeling crappy and all the while gaining and gaining.... we are all here for ya... god knows you were there enought for me and all my moaning haha!tiny_penguin wrote: »Lost 2.5!!!

Love to try new ww friendly recipes- it's so easy to get stuck on the same few things to eat for dinner.BaileyPants wrote: »Ok, so this is the last week of my course before my exams, so I'm going to find a new class next week. I've brought with me to work today a fruit salad I made of pineapple, peach & kiwi, I also brought 2 bananas, 2 satsumas & 2 apples, 2 of the 2 pp cereal bars from Aldi & a brown bread sandwich (mccambridges) of a ham joint I made last nite with a bit of low fat spread. Hopefully getting back on the wagon. Thanks for all the support x
Well done for jumping back up on the wagon.... i just made a big fruit salad to have in the fridge... i find if i have it ready, i'm more likely to eat fruit, and picking at pinapples and strawberries will do me a few more favours than curly wurlys and pink and whites!!!Hi

Weigh in later, absolutely dreading it in case I'm disappointed! I tracked all week and got out walking a few times too but I used all my weeklies (though not my exercise pps).
I just want to get on the scales and find out one way or another!

Well aren't I the glad girl that I decided to start with Davina, and not Jillian. I considered it, but thought that anything that promises a loss of that many lb in so few days might be a mistake!!! that said, I haven't exactly been killing myself hanging out with davina either... the weather is so lovely, that I'm ditching my resolve to do the dvd, in favour of early morning walks around the block (around the block sounds relatively harmless, but I'll mention that I live on the side of a mountain, and it's a killer of a walk!!!
Hope it shows on the scales in the morning! Good luck to everyone!
I actually did the Davina Ultimate Target last night after the 30 Day Shred. I did the fat burn section and boy did I sweat buckets. It's not as difficult as Jillians but it is tough in that you are moving constantly. I could really feel the effect they both had on my body this morning and I took my inches and I lost another inch on my belly, waist and hips and a half inch on my thighs On the downside I was up a lb on the scales so really hope that'll be gone by WI this evening!!
Hope your WI went well and good luck to everyone else weighing in today!0 -

Yeah I used to get a mostly STS the week before I was due but maybe if you're due now that's why you were up last week? You may indeed be pleasantly surprised!
I'll have my fingers crossed for you anyway 0
