Good morning everyone
Well done to the 'losers' !:T
Ragz I have lost 2 pounds. I am very happy with that.
Looking forward to going swimming again later, and another day of healthy OS eating.
Good luck everyone.

Well done Fuddle! It's common in the first week to lose more (usually from fluid) as your body adjusts. Nat21luv's first loss is a great example. It's not really possible to lose more than 2lb of real weight in a week, but shifting the retained fluid is a good thing.

Make sure you are all drinking plenty as the more you drink, the less fluid you retain.

Vixtress - I expect you will have a loss next week then, sometimes it takes a while to catch up with you.
ETA - Well done JBD!

Morning all
Congrats to the losers, good work! I weighed this morning and I've gained a few lb, but the witch is hovering so not going to declare a weight this week. Hope to see a good loss next Friday when she should have b*ggered off again

Today:
Breakfast: Fruit corner
Lunch: chicken sandwich, apple, satsumas

I'm going home for my tea tonight so will have to eat what I'm given! Normally pretty healthy though, and I won't have any wine as I've got to pick DH up from his Christmas do at 1 in the morning!

Well done to everyone so far

I started exactly a week ago . Start weight 15 stone 2 lbs.
I now weigh 14 stone 10 lbs so that is 6lb loss for me please Ragz . I want to get down to around 11 stone eventually but slow and steady I think. Need some new scales though .

Keep up the good work and I love reading everyones progress :T

Very happy this morning, I lost 2lb

I have been cutting down rather than dieting so I am really pleased, will carry on the same this week and see what happens.

Well done to everyone who lost this week

Well done to those of you who've lost this week, and good luck to those of us just starting.

I seem to have put on 2lb since Tuesday, so I think I know what to expect over the weekend . So this is now my revised start weight for the challenge: 16st 6lb.

Fuddle - definitely following your lead on using a smaller plate. If I look at what I eat it isn't unhealthy, I just eat too much!

I've done WW etc in the past and it just doesn't work for me - or at least it does for the first stone or two, then I get so fed up of counting calories/points/whatever that I stop and put it all back on.(And I hate having carp full of additives pushed at me like it's a good thing!)

This has happened several times now, so I've decided I'm never counting a calorie again. And if that means I've got to use a smaller plate, get a bit more exercise etc, then that's what I'll do!

For those of you counting the calories, this isn't meant as a put-down - I'm just saying that for me, personally, that doesn't work .

Obviously, there's still a bit of adolescent rebel in there somewhere! Now if only I could find the bod that went with it!

I would like to declare a loss of 2lbs since the end of the last challenge. Hopefully it will see me through next week which will see the witch visiting.

I had 2 slices grilled bacon with a grilled tomato on a slice of wholemeal seeded bread, that was breakfast. I'm going to aqua-fit, 3/4 hour jumping around in the pool at LA Fitness - exercise seems to be the only thing that makes a difference. Then we'll have a nice meaty stew with green cabbage afterwards, orange to follow.

So coffee to start the day with whole milk..... that's something I don't want to give up along with butter. Breakfast - banana with soya custard (yummy and healthy). Lunch will be one of those soups I had left over from my liquid diet. They're tasty, quick and filling and 200 calories. (Money saving cos I'm not throwing them out) Dinner will be homemade veggie burger, potato wedges and salad with egg free mayo. Have fruit for snacks so will update at the end of the day. I think the only exercise I'm gonna get today is walking and cleaning.

Congratulations to all the losers and good luck to all the new starters
