*DFW lets get rid of the lbs without spending £££'s Weight Loss thread*

Thrifty_Pixie

Hi all...a wee bit late on parade but I put on +0.5lb last week. Gah. I REALLY need to get my motivation back...

Thrifty_Pixie

Hi all!

Glad to report a loss of -1.5lbs this week, but need to up my game to hit my goal for my holiday in June.

Gee it's quiet in here.... *tap tap*

Sorry for being AWOL...I've been a busy bee lately & am finding it difficult to keep up with most of the threads I regularly read & post on, & to top it off, I've hit a rock - I've put on a bit of weight again & can't seem to budge from 10 stone again.

It is so frustrating as I don't have much to lose, I just want half a stone gone to be back at my ideal weight, what I think suits me best...but I can't shift it, no matter what I eat or don't eat, or how often I exercise

Congratulations to everyone losing, you're doing really well x

Hang in there! I think everyone hits a wall at some point or other, but if you're doing all the right things, it HAS to change sometime, eh?

Oh I hope so Thrifty! I cycled into work again today & will cycle home too, it's about 20mins each way so that should help...need to measure myself again really & check that way, but I don't think I look any different so am scared nothing has changed there either!

Thanks for your kind words, I might try to find some time this weekend to go for a run, even if it's just a couple of times round the block that's better then nothing!

Wow it really is quiet round here these days, has everyone reached their target weight except me?

I saw an offer on Topcashback today where you get 3 months on Weightwatchers for free, I thought this might be worth a go until I saw I would be paying just under £30 & would still be waiting for the cashback about 3 months later...is it worth it do you think?

I'm lurking Pernicious! Unfortunately I am battling with the same 4lbs that I put on over xmas! When I lose those, I will be back to 10 stone, then I need to get on with toning up my legs and arms.

Have kind of lost my mojo with exercise lately - I said I was going to post a review of an exercise DVD on here, but sadly I still haven't done the DVD. I do still enjoy walking and go three times a week, but can't muster enthusiasm for anything else at the moment.

I stopped posting as I didn't want to just come on the thread to moan (which I've just done - sorry!) Doesn't help that I had two teeth extracted last week and the throbbing in my gum is driving me mad! Will be back when I have something positive to report!

Pernicious

I know what you mean, keep meaning to go running but if a couple of friends of mine aren't going (& they haven't been lately due to having other things to do) then I just can't bring myself to go alone...Hopefully this Thursday we will get back into it, I certainly need to as my bike wheels are a bit flat & I need to get a pump, so I haven't even cycled this week

At least you have a good excuse there I hope you feel better soon & get your mojo back!

Well not me, that's for sure!

I started (yet another) diet and exercise plan 3 days ago and (dare I say it) it is going quite well so far.

The cunning plan is to eat less and to exercise everyday. The exercise is to be a minimum of 40 minutes walking or 20 minutes on my exercise bike. Yesterday I managed an hour and a half walk and was well under on my calories.

So fingers crossed that this time I can succeed.:D

Good luck This is the kind of thing I was aiming for, but it's all gone to pot! I have some time off work soon (booked the 3 days in between the bank hols ) so I will find it easier then I think. Hopefully 11 days is long enough to make it an ingrained habit so when I go back to work it sticks...I'm still tempted by this weight watchers thing though, having a diet to stick to as well as extra exercise has got to work, but would I stick to it?!
