Lose weight 30

fredsnail

Welcome to our new thread :j :beer:

Summer (and currently the good weather) is here. Have you got a special event coming up? Want to wear that special outfit? Do you want to look even more gorgeous on the beach?

There is still time to become more stunning than you already are :j

Welcome to the place where we encourage you not to save £'s but to lose Lb's instead

So you wanna lose weight? You've come to the right place! Need a chat, a shoulder, encouragement and advice perhaps or even some downright silliness??

Pull up a chair and join in the chat, whatever plan you're following to lose weight, be it SW, WW, RC, or just plain old reducing what you eat and increasing the exercise, there'll be someone here that can help and advise, or offer moral support.

There are plenty of regulars here who follow all types of plan and will be willing and able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

During the course of the week, feel free to post your weekly loss, gain or no change, and see your results in a chart that's updated every Wednesday evening. To help us older folk quickly spot the losses, please post the loss as BOLD and Colourful as possible (Its helps those of us with bad eyes )

The chart is currently maintained by me, so if you can post your result before 10pm on a Wednesday you will be included on the chart.

Also you can take part in the 5lb monthly challenge - This is a fun mini motivational monthly challenge, in which the goal of losing 2lb per week, is spread out to 5lb per month. Next one has just about started so get your name down quick and post your name and start the new list. You could be Slimmer of the Week, or Slimmer of the Month! :j:j

A few abbreviations:
STS ~ Stay The Same (No change in weight)
HHA ~ Half Hour Activity, 30 minutes of whatever activity you choose, as long as it gets you moving it's good for you!
HHSS ~ Half Hour Sofa Slumping
SOTW ~ Slimmer Of The Week
SOTM ~ Slimmer Of The Month

Hello beanie

Joys of being a bean counter and chart compiler I'm afraid

Nice to see you all here already :beer:

grannynise

Well when I'm here I'm not eating. Night night all.

Hope you're feeling a bit better BB.

Thanks fredsnail for starting a new thread............without a nudge from your friendly board guide either.:D

I'll keep the old thread sticky for a few days and then unstick it.;)

We're due for a very hot spell of weather:eek: so maybe we need some low calorie drinks suggestions, to keep us cool without adding inches to our fine figures.:D

Regards

Nile

Thanks Nile - much appreciated.

Iced water, or sugar free squash is great for a cool drink - I like lime if it's hot :j

Happy New Thread everyone! Thanks fred

Blew the diet tonight - having to do a major bug extermination in the house (where do they keep coming from!!??) so avoided the kitchen and went to the local pub for handmade burger and chips. Totally worth it - deeeeeeelish! :beer:

I dont know if I am already signed up (what with already being on the chart) but I am definately up for the 5lb challenge for July! Bring it on.

melvis I am also doing DIY slimming world on the cheap, at home, with an old book and Google! Good luck with it - it's the best diet I've ever tried

Pretty sure they must have put something in the burger tonight as I am feeling very positive and sunny which is not like me at all (usually a right grumpy moo!) but hey ho let's make the most of it!

See you all bright and early tomorrow morning!
