Hello all! Well done to the losers!!!!!!!!!! :j :j :j

stacyl1977, welcome to our wee thread! I don't think any of us would be sticking at our healthy eating and exercise regimes if it weren't for this thread, you will find much encouragement here!

SDH, don't lose heart, I am experiencing the same yo yo effect but we need to stick at it and the weight will eventually come off again!!

crapwithmoney, hope you don't burn yourself out with all those hours, sounds hectic!! Take care of yourself hun xoxo

kjmtidea - what about making the same meals for all of you but giving yourself more veg and less of everything else (carbs/meat), or trying to find low fat versions of ingredients e.g. yog or low fat creme fraiche instead of cream? There are lots of low fat cooking tips available online, your family won't even notice the difference and you'll all feel the benefits! HTH.

plzhelpmesave - well done on joining the gym, you got a good deal there! Let us know how it goes. Re my exercise log - it's mostly walking!!! :rotfl: But every little helps. My legs and bum are definitely feeling it at the mo from doing all those stairs at work! I'm going walking with a friend this evening and back to the gym tomorrow. I'm going to just do Mon/Wed/Fri for now as doing two days in a row last week did me no good at all.

Food today has been super healthy - low fat Greek yog, an apple, strawberries, plums and figs for breakfast and a yummy salad for lunch. If I don't lose weight this week I swear there is something wrong with the world!! I am still missing chocolate!

kjmtidea

I am really missing chocolate but I have bought some muller light yogurts so hopefully they will give me the sweet hit that I need!

Thanks crapwithmoney! You've just reminded me to change my signature at some point - all those are from last year and I haven't done any competitions since Christmas. I want to get back into it but at the moment work gets in the way!! And OH has recently found online bingo so takes over the computer most evenings now...:rolleyes: Your job sounds hectic!! You won't have time to eat anything remotely naughty at that rate!

Well done Charlie1986, thats great! I bet you are well pleased.

Hiya Stacyl1977, you're not alone anymore!!! I've gained so much from this thread and would never have stuck to my regime if it wasn't for the wonderful people on here!

Oh dear, I have just weighed myself - I have put 2lb ON this week! Not a good start :mad:

The annoying thing is, I decided to only weigh myself once a week, since that seems to be the 'thing' to do. It just doesn't work for me.... I am back to daily weigh-ins now, I just need to do it to stay focussed.

On the good side, though, I have been going to the gym regularly over the past two weeks, and although I put weight on thos week (too many meals out with wine over the weekend) I have actually dropped a jean size and I defo look and feel as if I've lost inches. Maybe that extra weight is all muscle

Just finished my tea. Veggie sausages, salad, creme fraiche, tomatoes and salad in 2 tortillas. Now I know for a fact that I am gonna be starving by 8pm - I just have that feeling today. Tomorrow is my weigh day and I am not at all hopeful. Its been a bad week - been ill, crampy and windy since the virus left me. It's also TOTM and I've just been craving chocolate and crisps. Today I had 2 packets of crisps in work! :mad: (and a Jammy Joe!)
If I have lost anything or even stayed the same in the morning, I shall be over the moon. No mission tho.:o
