I'm trying to lose weight for 2 weeks in Majorca in August. I've been using www.foodfocus.co.uk (http://www.foodfocus.co.uk) for 1 week and have lost 2lb. :j It's free to join and simple to use. It can get a bit addictive though.

[mishelly]

I'll join!!! I would like to be able to wear a bikini confidently this year.

I only need to loose about half a stone but its so stubborn... grr.

What i really need to do is to tone up more but i have the problem of not having the same routine week in and week out so it is hard to fit exercise in.

Any suggestions anyone?

[lenga01]

I'll join too, I have about 2 stone to lose and have been on my diet since Sunday, so far so good!

[Paparika]

I'll join, steroids have taken their toll on me, i have to be careful not to boost my immune system too, i need to keep it suppressed. but have managed 1st in 2 months, and i DO need motivation, that cycle machine in my bedroom is getting dusty

[jojo1969]

hi good morning all.how are you doing?i joined ww yesterday had to do something.also went for a long walk and doing the same today,going to get my summer clothes out to get me motivated and plan my tea for tonight


GOOD LUCK ALL:beer:

[Paparika]

I'm leaving the car at home today, I'll be walking to work, i work at 2 different offices during the week, one i can walk to... so for the next 2 days its walking :D




Food wise, erm it's coffee and ciggies for breakfast, i know i should do brekkie but its just not me..


Tip of the day (i think we should have one of these)
White Bread bad, Rivita good
If you struggle to do 5 a day fruit and veg, then build it up, 1, 2 , 3 , 4 ,5 a day
but smoothies are good, just check the side of packs, it will say how many a day they are. (most products will show this)

hey jojo (and the rest)

You've inspired me. No more messing around and eating chocolate in secret whilst pretending to the world I'm being good. Fresh start today. Am in NY in June - so no bikini opportunities - but it would be good to loose as much of that stone as possible (I was there 18 months ago but a stone lighter)

Best of luck to all of you

[curlygirl1971]

mishelley - yoga worked for me. I went to classes and went I felt like I knew a few 'poses' and exercises I did it at home - 20 mins will make you feel better.

As for really loosing weight through exercise - Dancing is the best and really good social fun. All sorts, sizes and ages go. Try a local Modern Jive or Ceroc class - they have beginner lessons every class night. But yes it does mean you need to find the time at least once a week

[jojo1969]

well ive been for my walk felf a bit dizzy when i come back,i had some crumpets before i went so shouldnt havebeen hungry anyway had a bannana and feeling much better
tip for the day: water water water im aiming for 3 pints today
tal:D k to you all later good luck

[Magpye]

I'll join since I've been a bit lazy recently and could probably do with the added support.

[peppermint]

I'll join in too!
i need to lose 2 stone for beach holiday in august.
and hopefully a stone for a holiday in june to finland (no beaches but saunas)
i'm following ww as i've done this in the past and it worked for me. have you done it before jojo1969?
hope everyone has a good day today!

[brightonman123]

wi was expecting pics, too ;-)

walking to/from work helps- no excuses with better weather coming!
also, while at work, use the stairs rather than the lift.

and chocolate calories DO count, when you're standing up when eating it!

[Doozergirl]

I don't want to put my bikini on because I know it doesn't fit anymore. Or my workout gear :o

And swimming is probably the exercise that I most enjoy. I'm stuck in a bizarre trap of not wanting to buy a new costume because I'm in denial and not being able to fit into my current costume because I'm so lazy these days.

I'm only one size bigger but I feel rubbish.

I like the foodfocus website, I've joined that and will put in what I eat for a start, see just how bad I am!

[bulchy]

I'll join too. I would like to loose a stone and a half. I do a lot of walking with dogs, and intend to start jogging at the weekend, weather permitting. My daughter does slimming world diet and I usually eat the same as her, but my downfall is red wine at the weekends :rolleyes:
Good luck everyone.

[jojo1969]

hi guys how you all doing? ive lost 3lbs and feeling much better in myself as i have been walking a hour a day
been doing ww got out all my old books feeling positive good luck all

[bulchy]

Just thought I'd give this a bump. Started the diet on tuesday, so far so good. No crisps or biccies, been keeping a food diary, which is the best way for me to control what I eat, as looking back and seeing how much rubbish I've eaten is enough to shame me into doing better. Been walking dogs as usual, and will be starting the jogging again tomorrow, also gonna try to fit in some extra walking over the weekend as fingers crossed it looks like the weather is going to be nice.
Hope everyones still doing well.

[aliasojo]

Lol....I would need a bikini for each boob!

I'm going to stick my head in here and read all your posts in the hope they might rub off on me and I'll get inspired enought o start making the effort. Although in my defense I am really busy right now and dont have a working kitchen so cooking properly is out for the next 3-4 weeks. :(

Good luck to you all!!!!!!! :T

[peppermint]

well done to everyone who's been doing well!
i have tried sooo hard to get back to doing points but it's just not happening.
i haven't had anything absolutely terrible, but i haven't lost anything.
got my old diary out and i didnt eat until 2pm most days when i was at uni! i couldn't last that long now!
my resolve is to try harder from now on and eat more veg. perhaps have 3 days veggie? hard when you live with a committed carnivore though!

[novagirl]

Maybe have a bowl of fruit salad or something in the fridge so if you feel peckish then you can just have a nibble on that?

I'm really getting into this now. :D I've even put a bikini on ebay so when the summer comes properly I'll buy myself a new one. (That actually fits!)

[janiebaby29]

I will join as i need to shift a stone for september , am doing the GI diet at the mo
