February is the new January - shifting debt and wibbly bums in 2010!

Had a bit of an early weigh in this morning as this week I've been bad and averaged about 1500 a day, due to the seriously sore throat and the ice cream that requires. I wanted pre warning how terrible tomorrow morning will be. However I'm another 0.8lbs down, which while not huge at least is in the right direction. Hoping to get it to a full 1lb by tomorrow morning.

I am not feeling very well today, my stomach is hurting me. Can't think of food either, had a yoghurt this morning but regretted it straight away. Boss has stomach bug, she hasn't come this morning, I trully hope I don't have it. I'll take it easy today,try to eat only as little as possible.

Dinah93

Hope you're feeling better today Kavics.

Its ominously quiet in here....

Well I made it to the full 1lb loss for the week, not huge but hey, its going down, I'm 136.4lbs now, I'm really looking forward to being past the 130s.

Well done on the 1lb Dinah, my colleague just started SW and lost 6lbs in her first week, she's really chuffed! Hope you're feeling better Kavics!

I was looking at myself in the mirror last night and I'm starting to be able to see my ribs through my chest which is worrying... I might stop this challenge soon if they become more noticable, I hate that look:



Yack!

Food for me today will be jacket pot with cottage cheese and a Tesco Light choices creamy mushroom pasta, which I bought because it was only £1 but which I've just realised contains 455 calories! Not that light then!

Dinah93

No thats not a good look. You're very slim already, have you considered eating a normal amount of calories but doing targetted exercise for any problem areas.

I've *thought* about it, but exercise is so grim isn't it?!

I'm feeling better today, took it very easy yest food wise. Breakfast today: yoghurt, lunch: 2 eggs, 1 slice of toast and mullerrice, dinner will be pasta with hidden veg sauce.

It's been quiet on here! Hope everyone is still doing well though!

I lost a measly 0.4 lbs on Friday, but I had a big family gathering for a birthday so I knew I wouldn't lose much (if at all!). So total loss is now 4.5 lbs.

I have done well so far this week - good weekend for once, and walking this morning. And am going to aqua aerobics this evening, and swimming tomorrow! :A

I have realised that it's definitely doing the exercise that helps me lose, as I didn't do any exercise last week and lost hardly anything!

Hi everyone

Well......I give up:o

I am so up and down with my attempts at weight loss at the moment (was doing well up to Christmas and seem to have lost the plot since then).

I have put weight back on this week and am so fed up with myself that I am giving up because I am depressing myself over this. I know that there is only me to blame (cos I know what I eat:o) but at the moment I just am not in the right place mentally to do this and thinking about weighing myself and logging in and admitting defeat is getting me down even more.

So I wish you all the best with your weight loss challenge, and will (not so gracefully) withdraw.:(

Aww sorry to hear things are tough planning_ahead but - don't withdraw! All of us are human and must reconcile to falling off the horse *at least* a few times. Perhaps we can help to give you the motivation you need?

Why don't you make your goal staying the same first of all, then make a separate goal to exercise 3 times a week for half an hour? I don't think calorie counting works for some people (me) as it starts to take up all my brain and make me all obsessive. But I try now to just mitigate my usual ways - eat less of the treats and do more of the exercise, without really worrying about losing too much.

I have stayed the same this week but am folding under the weight of university, work, moving house, so it could have been a lot worse! Let's just decide together to be the slow-coaches on this journey towards a slightly less wibbly bum
