oh dear

3 meals out last week means i'm up a pound and a half after 3 weeks of stagnation

will have to be very strict with myself this week to get that weight shifting again!

Don't be too hard on yourself Marmalady, You know what caused it so it's easy to rectify. I'm lucky in that at Christmas I'm a billy no mates so I don't have any christmas parties to go to... all say Awwwww.

Mind you I can put 20 pounds on over a week at christmas with no trouble at all.

I've also lost track and put 2 pounds on this week. Mind you I'm in a state of flux at the moment as i was using the slimfast shakes as my meal replacements then I looked at the info panel and they all have something like 62% carbs of wich sugar is 50% . Need to find a dealer of optifast shakes me thinks...


Keep the faith everybody... keep the faith.

Thanks Al

Hopefully i have done better this week (will find out for sure tomorrow morning)

But i am a bit despondent about the fact I still havent shifted the weight that i put on over my holiday in August!!

At the beginning of August I was only 2lb away from my goal for the year -- now i am still 4-5 lb away -- with the Christmas party season fast approaching, it is looking doubtfull i will reach it

Ahh well -- means an even bigger target for next year!

We all started this after Christmas this year, hands up who has lost weight or is thinner! I am still a size 16, but my stomach is definitely much flatter so am pleased about that. Must do better next year! pbf.

*hand stays firmly down.

[Marmalady]

Yayyyyyyyy!! :) :)

Not only have i shifted last weeks 1 1/2 lb gain, but as much again! -- 3 lb down!

so i might meet my target of being under 11 stone by Christmas after all!

[Big Al]

Well my hands are up in the air but only just as it's been this last 2 months that I've got my head back into gear.

We all need to remember that it took [in my case] 25 years to get to 28 st and it ain't coming off much faster, lol.

I'm thinner by about 6" around the gut but I still look like a sack o' S**t tied round the middle. I've got a good nurse at myu docs who is young and thin and also honest. She admits to eating chocolate for breakfast but also praises me for losing weight and gives me a hard time when I put on.

Don't give up on losing weight for the rest of this year peeps as it will be harder to start again after christmas. ALSO WE DO NOT HAVE TO PUT WEIGHT ON OVER CHRISTMAS THE SAME AS WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT WEIGHT ON ANY OTHER WEEK OF THE YEAR.


Enjoy the festive season but only have one mince pie and not a 12 box like I would.
Speaking of mince pies, I'm going to really, really miss them this year.......

I would love to join this group.
So far I have lost 70 lbs and have a final 10 to lose. my motivation is gone, I feel good, and I think why bother....but it was a goal I want to achieve.

I might just find that new motivation here to hit goal :)

Welcome,
What has stopped or diminished the motivation? With losing 70 pounds you have had a lot of motivation so what has changed? but only if you want to say.

When you go to the supermarket next go to the butter isle and look at the lard packets. COUNT 64 LARGE BLOCKS AND THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE LOST SO FAR. YOU ONLY HAVE 4 MORE TO GO...

[Chickie2378]

LOL that is a good way to visual that last fat I want to get off. thanks

I took it off very fast in the beginning few months, than slowed a bit to try to truly learn some eating/lifestyle changes, and it took about a year to lose this 70. I am more concerned about 'keeping it off and sticking to healthy eating' vs. be more careful on eating to lose the last lbs.

So I guess my mind has to 'go into weight loss mode' again. I will. Starting today. Back on the menu plan to lose the last dreaded 10!!

hello everyone!

id like to join in too.

just had a baby..... well 5 months ago i did but my weight loss has ground to a halt and it seems breastfeeding alone is not getting me anywhere anymore!

so its back to being sensible and counting calories. story of my life, inbetween indulging myself with yummy home baking on a nearly daily basis

anyway, iv already lost about a stone since after the birth and im just about back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
but alas, this is my second child and im still carrying and extra stone from the first one!
so another stone to go, at least me hopes!

goal weight: under the 9st mark by 1st febuary 2012 ( thats when we are going back home to macedonia after being in scotland to have the baby because hospitals in macedonia are horriffic!)
it would be amazing to get back down to 8st, but i havent been that since i was a teenager who was more into partying than eating

i do have a history of distorted eating habbits and have already gone through counceling for it. just incase anyone says anything as this has been an issue on other weighloss threads on other forums. an issue for other people, not for me. others seem to find it nessesery to have to lecture me so im just getting it out in the open from the start and letting you know iv aleady seen a doctor. this is making me sound like im mental, but im not, honestly

anyhoo, happy dieting everyone and good luck!

[boboff]

Looking forward to the New Year when I start again!

[demi]

yes! im down 2 pounds from yesterday! yeay! :)

[Spanderholic]

Woot! I am somewhere between 80 and 81 kgs now. me and some friends have started the army training 6 week fitness challenge program on the nz army website, so hopefully this shall help to get me down to 70kgs before the end of february. For now though, I just want to get to below 80, 79 would be amazing! Haven't been that weight in years... Christmas may get in the way haha. Anywho, progress is afoot! Good luck everyone else in the holiday season :)

[demi]

down another pound!
been eating lentil soup and fruit all day, yummy! :)
