LazyDaisy - I miss daily weigh ins as well, I think it really concentrated my mind. I might go back to daily as well (naughty I know!).

Leothecat, good luck with your weigh in! Did you snack after dinner?

I went for an hour's walk this evening, it felt good. Then I came home and did 4 planks, it is defo getting easier!!! I had a very diet-friendly dinner (chicken stir fry), also had a few oatcakes about an hour ago but overall have done well today. :j If only every day were as good! :rotfl:

p.s. kjmtidea - thanks for the tip, I'm not sure that Muller Light would give me the same effect as chocolate but I will give it a go!

I was naughty this morning and weighed myself, I was really worried because last night my wii fit told me that I had put on 2 lbs! I don't think I will weigh myself on it in the evenings anymore because it won't be very accurate after I have just downed a pint of water.

So since Friday I have lost.... 5lbs!!! I can't believe it, I am very very happy though and it has given me the kick up the bum to carry on with it all. Good start to the day, it will be downhill from here though - I've got a house full of ill children .

Well, no I did not snack last and have weighed in this morning and am pleased to report a 3/4lb loss. Not much but better off than on. :j
Time to move on.
Good luck losers!

I weighed in this morning... 60.7kg!!! It's still 0.3kg heavier than on 1 March but at least the numbers are starting to go down again... and I am definitely feeling more toned! It gave me a little boost on this grey morning anyway. I am off to the gym at lunchtime and have lots of healthy food with me so today should be a good one.

kjmtidea and Leothecat, well done on the weight loss!!! :j :j

fluffybishop, is there any type of aerobic exercise you like? They say that you should do the thing that you enjoy and then it won't seem like a chore. I prefer dancing to running TBH, but as I can't get to a dance class at lunchtime I stick with the running... and it does give results (eventually in my case!!). I also love walking, although it takes longer than running to burn calories it is still great aerobic exercise (esp if you include brisk walking and hills etc) and very sociable if you can get a walking buddy. HTH.

Tara - I prefer doing dancing too When I lost most of my weight I was using a fitness dvd, exercise bike, and dancing [all at home] I lost looads of weight but needed a kick up the butt to get going again - I still have 2 stone to lose.

So, I am doing aerobic dancing which really has my pulse racing :rotfl: and I bring into it some of the toning moves from the fitness dvd while I am doing it - especially upper body toning. It is enjoyable too and I can make a complete fool of myself cos no one can see me!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
