It's almost time for the festive season with lots of parties

- there is still time to become more stunning than you already are :j

Welcome to the place where we encourage you not to save £'s but to lose Lb's instead

So you wanna lose weight? You've come to the right place!

Need a chat, a shoulder, advice perhaps or even some downright silliness??

Pull up a chair and join in the chat, whatever plan you're following to lose weight, be it SW, WW, RC, or just plain old reducing what you eat and increasing the exercise, there'll be someone here that can help and advise, or offer moral support.

There are plenty of regulars here who follow all types of plan and will be willing and able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

During the course of the week, feel free to post your weekly loss, gain or no change, and see your results in a chart that's updated every Wednesday evening. To help us older folk quickly spot the losses, please post the loss as BOLD and Colourful as possible

(Its helps those of us with bad eyes

)

Also you can take part in the 5lb monthly challenge - This is a fun mini motivational monthly challenge, in which the goal of losing 2lb per week, is spread out to 5lb per month. Next one has just about started so get your name down quick and post your name and start the new list. You could be Slimmer of the Week, or Slimmer of the Month! :j:j The chart is currently maintained by one of our delightful ladies... me :rotfl:

A few abbreviations:
STS ~ Stay The Same (No change in weight)
HHA ~ Half Hour Activity, 30 minutes of whatever activity you choose, as long as it gets you moving it's good for you!
HHSS ~ Half Hour Sofa Slumping

SOTW ~ Slimmer Of The Week
SOTM ~ Slimmer Of The Month

We have plenty of recipes to help you in the recipes thread (link below) and there are links to useful websites below.

FREDSNAIL to save you having to trawl back through the old thread I've got a 3lb gain for this week's chart (and Iintend it to be the last time I mention the g word on this thread!). Managed to avoid the c's this weekend, mostly from the thought of having to confess on here.

Hello Fred, and thanks for starting the new thread AND for taking over the chart.

No c/c/c so far today :j:j:j

ooh nice and shiny and neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

I need to jump back on the bandwagon again. I took a look at my 6 month pregnant stomach after i had leftover chinese and decided i needed to tackle it again. I think starting from tomorrow im going to cut down the chocolate eating to once a day untill i can last every few days and see how that goes. I've been doing well on the alcohol too, havent got drunk for ages.

Granny... have you forgotten the smell of them?

k i'm back, back on track, should be back on duty at work too this week.Even if i'm only allowed to only walk part of a duty, it's still gonna be better than I've been doing.

k i'll be brave enough to show before and after pics to hopefully inspire others as long as everyone promises not to laugh at my pyjamas!!!

MAZZA - those pictures are definitely motivating. What a difference - you look amazing, especially in the second picture!

Today has been way better for me foodwise. Woke up late so no breakfast then went shopping and bought a hot deli chicken so had a nice hot chicken sandwich (no butter as was fresh bread) and then made a chicken jambalaya for dinner but found out someone has been rushed to hospital so forced down a couple of mouthfulls then gave up. Am hungry now so going to have some cereal which means my food today will have been very jumbled up but better than it has been and ive avoided all the left over halloween chocolate!

Am going to start weighing myself again and posting my results to try to motivate myself again. So fredsnail can i please go back on the chart this week?

grannynise · 1 November 2009 at 10:33PM

Vix to the best of my recollection I have only once encountered one! I know, it's almost unbelieveable.

fredsnail · 1 November 2009 at 10:33PM

No problem dmv will add you this week.

A couple of us at work are going to start to diet together to keep the encouragement up so hopefully I'll start to make some more progress
