Hi guys, room for a latecomer?

I've only just realised that MSE has threads devoted to this kind of thing and I'm really chuffed. I've had a look at several weightloss / fitness forums over the last few days and they're a bit scary. With you guys I'm at home already.

I've been hitting the gym like a demon over the last 2 weeks and successfully GAINED 2lb :mad:. Makes the 23 to go seem pretty hard, lol. But I like your thinking with focussing on 7lb.

I currently weight 177lb and would like to drop that by the end of this month. I have a session with one of the gym instructors tonight, so hopefully I can find out where I've been going wrong.

Good luck to all for the coming week. xx

Always room for a small one , you could have lost fat but gained muscle and/or water weight if you really over did the gym!

Thanks for your input Dragon. You could very well be right. I have developed calves like Popeye!

This is usually the point where I say "oh I've worked hard and nothing's happened, pass the cake!", lol. But this time I'm going to stick with it. It's got to come off at some point surely.

Already loving being one of the gang ;-) xx

:rotfl: - hmm maybe you should work on something else for a while

Ah yes the pull of the cake shop - strange places those

I'm glad! We try to make weight loss fun and not stressful on here

Are you claiming a 2 pound loss candyapple? or are you waiting until Friday for this weeks weigh in?

Oops that was probably confusing to read, no I'll wait until I weigh in as that will be 1 week from the start of July, and I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Good Morning everyone

Just did a WI and I am now 14st-6lb so still heading in the right direction. Love this friendly and supportive thread.

See you next week. Have fun Dragon.

First weigh in, one pound off - was hoping for 2, better luck next week!

155lb/11st 1.

Have a good weekend all, and don't be tempted to eat/drink TOO much.

Thank you Dragon!! xx

I have been battling with my mum and we are doing the Boots diet, so I am keeping a food diary and realising what I am eating and taking steps to eat better. Also done the shred 4 times this week so that's helped plus walking around at lunchtime. Before I did nothing and ate junk! xxx
