  • Hi,

    Can I join?
    I'm doing SW but can't seem to keep focused for a whole week, ever! I've only lost 4lb since the start of January as I keep yo-yo ing :(
    I could do with going to class everyday I think so I'm hoping posting on here will help.

    Good luck with Food Focus Jess! :)

    Well done on resisting the buffet Lois! :T

    Thank you both for the Food Focus info. I signed up earlier and love some of the features :D I also love that you can just add food in manually as I've tried a few sites before where you have to use the database (which never seem to have the food you've eaten!).
    I used to calorie count (before I lost the will to diet!) think I'll give it another go and use the website from tomorrow - might help me get back into it. One question though, is there any way to change the size of the site? It only seems to fill about half the screen and the rest is just grey - is this how it's supposed to be??? It's kinda annoying, lol.

    Welcome to the thread Loopy lou! :j

    Hiya :wave:

    I'm reporting in with a STS this week please Fred. That is the result I got on the scales yesterday - I was going to wait until today because I was really annoyed with that, but Monday is the day for me and I'm sticking to it.

    What's really annoying is that I reduced my daily points by 3 a day for a whole week to try to lose 2lbs and get to my first stone. I'm back on normal points this week, and I've put aside enough to have pancakes later! :D

    Lolly - not sure about changing the page size on Foodfocus, sorry. Something I really like about that website is that you can specify your own target and timeframe to achieve it by and it calculates your daily calories for you based on that.

    Well, better go, need to prepare the pancake batter and have lunch, then it's off to linedancing this afternoon.

    Good luck with the weigh-ins everyone.

    Oh this is all new :)

    Been to the gym yesterday and today, i did 5k on the cross trainer, did it in under 33 mins which was quite a bit less than yesterdays 5k! I'm going to yoga on thusday, so a day off for me tomorrow!

    I go in the sauna after my workout, i might look up to see if this is a good thing or not! I like the relaxation after it, but then i thought its taking blood away from my muscles. Thats getting a bit nerdy :p

    Hope everyones alright!

    Therein lied the problem. Your body probably thought there was a famine so decided to store fat for survival ;)

    Am I turning into Eric? :rotfl:

    Hey all, been MIA for a while as i have completely fell off the wagon, Today was the turning point though, I am going out for a friends birthday on saturday night, tried on 3 dresses tonight from my wardrobe and they all looked horrible, I looked pregnant in them and lets not even start on my thighs.
    So starting tomorrow, i will weigh in and see the damage, i havent weighed in for a month so i know it will be bad. Going to plan a long walk with my youngest and go from there.
