Would love to sign up for the 5lb Challenge and Dragons team if possible?(feel free to asign me a team if any need more people as Dragon does seem to be popular)

My weigh in isn't till Thursday each week so hoping this is ok as probably won't be able to post till Friday morning. Not put put previous losses so far in bold, will try to Remember the bold colourful type tomorrow.

No problem I've added you to the dragon team for the moment - the Irish teams are looking a little bare so if no one else wants to be a leprechaun or shamrock I'll shuffle some people round

I'll pick you your result when you post it and it'll get added to the following weeks chart :T

Checked last night and apparently I'd put on 9lbs in the last couple of weeks - how depressing is that??? Weighed again this morning and it says I've only gained 5lbs - very odd as I never usually fluctuate by that much!

Welcome back Lolly - I've adjusted the weight carried forward so that if you want to join in the 5lb challenge it won't affect that result.

Went to the doctors today, where the nurse weighed me, I am now 16st 8lbs, so all my hard work that i did last year has been sent down the drain as i think i am nearly back up to the weight i started at.

Welcome back Mandz - I've adjusted the weight total carried forward so if you change your mind and want to join in any of the challenges it won't affect the result.

Right, let it be recorded.
I am really hoping to be the best I can be for the month of March.
I need to do this & yes I can do it & I will do it.

FS: STS for me.

In fact I lost 1/8th of a pound but I had a sip of coffee so I guess I gained it again

Hope you are all doing well in weight loss land.

We stopped at Corley services and I had a meat and ham pie but didn't eat all the pastry. I must have walked it off when we got to the NEC, though, and I didn't have a lot else all day, just a boiled egg and wholemeal bread for breakfast then oat-bran porridge with yogurt when we got back.

Perhaps, just perhaps, you are not eating enough :think:

Hi all :wave:

:jWoohoo - Slimmer of the Week! :j

Thanks for the chart Fred. :beer:

Can I suggest just having three teams? If you'd rather have 4 I don't mind being moved into Leprechauns.

Hi Lissarria, welcome, and well done for your fantastic results so far. :T

Back soon,

Not too bad today, had weetabix for breakfast, a nutrigrain bar @ 10 half a tin of tomato soup for lunch(numb mouth from dentist so couldnt eat much), jacket potato for dinner and another nutrigrain bar. Also kids got their oreos out so had a couple of them.

Tomorrow is food shop day, so should be able to get lots of fruit and veg and healthy food, as long as my mum doesnt start putting stuff in the trolley that is fatty and tempting.

I just read this page and as someone who low carbs for health reasons I have to say that for example weetabix + nutrigrain bar + tomato soup + jacket spud + nutrigrain bar is a lot of carbohydrate.

Kellogg's website doesn't break down to carbs but each bar has 12g of sugar and is 14% of GDA. WeightWatchers soup has 2.8g sugar per 100g and is a 295g tin
Heinz cream of tomato soup is 5g of sugar per 100g in a 400g tin. Weetabix has 1.7g of sugar per 37g serving BUT total carbohydrate (which converts to glucose) is over 25.7g of the 37g.

I'm not intending to be mean here but that could be over 30g of sugar and that is only part of the total carbs because 100% of the potato is carbohydrate and gets turned into glucose.

Insulin is the fat control hormone. If you have a lot of it in your body you can't lose weight because insulin is part of the body's survival mechanism. If you lower your carb intake over time the insulin level will drop and then you have more chance of exercising weight off. Type 1 diabetics don't produce insulin and they can't keep weight on without it.
