Baby Weight Shifting Club

Becles

I've lost a pound :j

I'm quite surprised as I've had serious PMT munchies over the last couple of days and I was a bit scared to get on the scales

I'm still doing the Wii Fit which much be working as I keep aching in various places! I'm not keen on the balance games, so I tend to do the hula hoops, steps and jogging to warm up, and then work through all the muscles workouts and finish off with the yoga.

It's my birthday in August, so I'm going to drop hints for EA Active

Don't worry too much searching me. Your weight does fluctuate throughout the day/month. How you feel overall and if your clothes are getting loose is a better indication than weight alone.

Searching - you should measure yourself as you'll probably find that you're losing inches even if the scales aren't showing any change. That's just as good. Remember that if you're exercising you're building muscle, which weighs more than fat. How your clothes fit is a good way to tell if you don't want to get the tapemeasure out.

I'm getting obsessed with that FF site! Have done DH's food and exercise logs for the last two days and feel like I'm slimming by proxy! It seems to appeal to him too, which is good as I know he's been miserable. Not that's very overweight, he's still in the healthy range but his target is at the bottom end. He just prefers to be that weight (even though he's quite broad-shouldered from his rugby days).

Still no sign that I'm joining you any time soon, but I might just set up a FF profile to do some 'exploring' of what I'd need to do :whistle:

Hi everyone,
Well, first week completed! Here we go, week 2.
Searching_me, I echo Becles and Bitsy (edited: and Lu T - sorry, didn't see your post when I did mine, but yes, I agree with you!), I know it feels rubbish when the scales don't move, but often when you don't lose weight for a while, then it will suddenly have a big drop.
I've lost quite a bit of weight this week but it all went in the first couple of days and since then it's been the same. It probably will remain the same now for quite a while and I'll have to try really hard not to get discouraged. I think I'm going to track it in my siggy, then when I get down, I can at least see that I'm making progress.
I'm off to update my signature now.

well went to the docs today they wanted me to step on the scales and i actually weigh 11st 7lb she said that if scales are not even they can give you an off reading so i think you lovely lot are right im gonna stop weighing myself at home as my floor aint level (floor boards alittle off) so inces it will be instead and just weigh myself when i go docs for check ups ... thanks guys x

That's great news searching_me - what a pleasant surpise! I normally find out that I'm heavier than I think when I go to the doctor's.
I've got to work late tonight, so they've arranged food for us, but I must resist! I don't have enough calories left to graze here as I'm sure to eat when I get home too... must stay strong (this is going to be my motto for life, I think)
Also, going out tomorrow night with family to a really nice restaurant, so I'm a little apprehensive. I looked online at their menu and it all looks quite sauce-laden, so not sure yet what I'll do.
Anyway, probably won't be able to get back on now until tomorrow, so have a nice evening everyone!

red try sticking to salads or something with a lot of veggies in it or minus the meat ... be strong red i know how work can tempt you my work place is in the middle of a bakery and cafe x

[Slinks in, embarrassed] Oh well, I was doing well. Last night proved a challenge too much! Standing next to a tray of cake all evening proved to be my undoing. When I added up my eating yesterday I went over my target calories by 375 (and I may have underestimated!)... back on the wagon today, but I'm really going to have to be good at the meal tonight.
Searching_me - they had no salad or fruit, so I couldn't even distract myself! Argh, must do better!

Red - chew gum or eat mints if that happens again. You won't want cake (or anything else) if your mouth is minty-fresh!

Off to create that FF profile for me. It's chucking it down here!
