Hey guys,

Glad to see everyone is doing so well and welcome to all the newbies.

Today I am off for my 1st weigh in after starting Slimming World - food wise I (think) have been good, but know I have been naughty in terms of syns as Oh lead me astray too many times in terms of a quick drink here.

But if my scales are correct .. I think I may have lost a lb. Not much, but a lb is a lb.

If I've lost I'll come and post tomorrow to let you know. No, thinking about it, I will post whatever I have lost or gained - that way the shame of gaining will hopefully motivate me.

By the way, I get married next August and in the ideal world would love to lose about 3.5 to 4 stone.

Post what ever you get Hadley! And do it every week! If you have been bad we will take MrsDrink's tip and not speak to you.... It worked for me! I went to the gym (b4 I ran out of money!) don't worry about it too much tho if u haven't lost much or gained. Just concentrate on next week.

Hadley, good luck for your weigh in. Never done that sort of thing, think it mght be good for me!

The healthy eating is not going well...I start a new job 3rd October with 30 min lunch which means no time to go out and buy junk food. I am thinking that is a good starting point for me. In the meantime I will try and keep up the exercise.

i reckon the less time u have for lunch, the better. like you said, you will concentrate on what to eat and not focus on junk. i have been having crips lately, so must must stop!!! cant even let go after the wedding as have to worry about looking ok in a bikini! haha.. thats a joke! think i have to use that as a big motivation thing, as its the FIRST time i will wear one. I dont have a flat belly, but i thought iam not waiting now and will have to wear it, so have to be good!

Thanks guys, Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have a lovely healthy lunch here (managed to get organised enough to sort it out last night) but am now stuck waiting as am doing a favour for a colleague, but don't know exactly when I'll be needed.

Might have to start some sort of exercise routine.... not sure I can put it off much longer.:rotfl:

Rups32

sounds lovely Hadley. well enjoy your lovely healthy lunch it is very difficult to sort out an exercise routine. i had one sorted in my old job, and now i am finding at time, we have lunch time meetings and if i cant make it to the gym, i get so frustrated. i have to see as well how i do. am also going to miss a few classes next week as have the last dress fitting and a half day to get my hair dyed.. grrr..nothing i can do hey?

ive got zumba now and then will have my boring sandwiches. yuck!

Good luck with the weigh in Hadley

I am on a healthy eating mission this week. It reached the point where I physcially couldn't stomach any more frozen pizza or oven chips

We bought shedloads of veg and fruit at the beginning of the week, and I've been cooking from scratch each day. Very time consuming but worth it to get a bit of variety and some healthier dinners! I've had leftovers for lunch as well, so hopefully filling up on pasta and chilli etc will stop me needing/wanting to snack on crisps and chocs!

Need to get back into an exercise routine as well. I love the intensity of the shred but I keep hurting my knees doing it. It's quite a hard surface to be doing it on I guess. I went for a jog last Friday with my sister, so hopefully I can get back into running a few nights a week. We'll see, I'm taking it in baby steps at the mo!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I am currently sitting at my desk eating my lunch reading through the thread for inspiriation! Don't know how you find the energy for all the exercise. I walk to and from work each day (if it's not raining!) which take an hour and half all in all but aside from that I find it hard to convince myself to do any more. I try to do exercise dvd's at home but don't get round to it as much as I want to. My bed is always so good at convincing me I need that extra hours sleep.
Lunch is pretty healthy though, got carrot and cucumber sticks, few mini breadsticks, a mini babybel light, grapes, apple and yogurt. wow listed out that seems like loads! How am I still hungry when its hometime?!
