Lose Weight 18

WISHIWASRICH_2

Hi all,

I'm a newbie. I always bury my head in the sand in January and carry on polishing of the mince pies & chocolate when everyone else has done.:o Well, this morning I could put it off no longer and got on the scales. I have put on half a stone since last summer:eek: and a stone since the summer of 2005. I'm in shock and must do something. I must stop eating and up my exercise. :jBecause this is MSE I don't want to pay for an expensive club, so it's great to find this thread - hopefully it will help me achieve my goal:T

Hi there,
Hoping I can join you all, I'm in desperate need of some help to stay on track.
I've started WW but although I *think* i'm sticking to it, the scales are saying differently
I have a lot to lose so have 30 points a day, my activity levels are very very low and I feel that I'm slumping into a bit of a rut.
Any tips would be so gratefully received.

Welcome to colnkits, wishiwasrich and scottishchick .... I'll add you all to the 5lb challenge chart unless you say not to... lose 5lb in a month. This is the fifth week though so it might be a bit taxing to achieve. That is, except for scottishchick with a wonderful 7lb loss already!

Jmf76, I saw your post (527) but I can't find you on the chart. I'll put you down for a 1.5lb gain this week and a 2.5 lb loss this month, but should there have been some earlier entries too?

Does anyone understand on the foodfocus site (I still love it!) what the graph called cal mix is supposed to be about? I've sent them a questions about it but haven't had a reply. Are you supposed to try to get all the lines as close as you can to the 0? Suggs please have a look at it .. you like graphs.

Bails thank you for the 'lovely' grannynise. I thought I was the scarey granny.

Hey all!

Been out buying yarns for knitting with today... Was very well behaved tho, only got a couple of bits, and some very nice hand-dyed chunky stuff (which will very soon turn into a handbag )

Have been counting points religiously this week, and I'm absolutely loving my pedometer - currently averaging around 4 points per day, and not putting any extra effort in either - will start adding some extra walking at lunchtime this week I think, the extra excercise will do me good! Might also be starting salsa with a friend from uni, could be interesting.... lol.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello new people. Warm welcome to the three of you! You will get a nice amount of chat and encouragement from here! (and finger exercise if nothing else!)

I had the worst bra fit today ive ever experienced. She was old, sweaty and stank like she hadnt washed for awhile. I touched her sweaty boob by mistake Thank god we have anti bacterial hand stuff that one of the girls bought in!

Pixiedust: salsa sounds good! I wished i had taken up dancing earlier in life! Im doing ballroom and latin american, think now were going to join a new group and i think that is salsa also! I hope so cos i wanna do a dance that really gets me going!

Emmalis: Thanks for the facebook add! How did you find me!?

Welcome to the newbies:D

I do WW what kind of rut do you find yourself in?

If it helps there are many WW products on the market that make it very easy to follow, to point count and to have variety and change in the weight loss journey:D

Are you activity levels low because of health?

Welcome WISHIWASRICH :j

Don't panic too much, and don't stop eating. Just eat the right stuff and the right amount.

Lots of peeps on here do SW and WW, I did Rosemary Conley - I didn't go to any expensive classes and steadily lost 1-2lb each week. It crept on slowly when I wasn't looking but I am now happily trying to maintain.

Good luck and stick with us.
