Hi Jane,

You are doing really well and to lose 3lb I bet that was hard work, what kind of diet are you on?

Well done and keep it up.

Congratualations Jane,
You are a star

Slimming World - I choose mainly vegetarian options but 2 days a week I eat meat and/fish - so basically very low fat, vitually no bread, unrefined cards where possible, lots of fruit and veg and EXERCISE (gentle aerobics and swimming in my case 3 to 4 times a week)

What are unrifined CARDS Jane? You've got crafting on the brain. You did give me a chuckle

Oh, another Pepi-ism or was it a Freudian slip? That should have been carbs as you rightly spotted!

Well done Jane for keeping up the moootivation and the weight loss! Are there enough people dieting to set up a new category on here?

I'll join in. Just off to get weighed now at SW. I know it works but only when I stick to it and I've not been very good this week, so have probably gained all I lost last week. Will let you know later.

I've set one up.

Thanks Anne! It started as new year resolutions for lots but gradually most of them fell by the wayside. We were down to 3 but I think there are more new folk who would join.

Hope it went well. Anne has started a new section for those of us trying to lose weight so I'll be moving slimming info to that one now

That's great
Is there a forum for peoiple who are like me and are putting weight on instead of loosing it he he

not yet but you can join ours and we can compete to see who loses/gains the most each week! I suppose all this weight I'm getting rid of has to go somewhere!

Thanks Jane, I think

I lost 2lbs this week making a total of 10.5. Started 8 weeks ago at WW.

I find it hard as I do not loose weight fast, but I loose size as I convert to muscle. When a friend and I took up bike riding she lost loads of weight I just gained muscles everywhere even on the side of my elbows!!!

My friend who started with me has lost a stone already and even this week she lost 2.5lbs
Hubby says it's because in my young days I used to swim a lot (swim for zoos around the world actually!) and that I am programmed that way. \wish it would show on the scales though as it does take longer

Well done to you Poppytree

Dizzy Daz you are doing really well.
Do not worry about building up muscle. You will be toning your body up which is good. Muscles weighs more than fat. I wouldn't mind turning all my fat to mucle. I would need to excercise though. I am finding it hard to get started on loosing weight and excercising. I know I need to as my health is begining to get effected. I eat vast volumes of food and don't excercise. No wonder my weight is increasing so much.
I'm sure that once I start excercising I will like it again. I used to be so fit and that is one thing that is upsetting me now because I am the complete oposite.
I'm sure I will get there one day, just hope it wont be too late
You should be really proud of yourself. I am

slow is best anyway - I usually manage half - 1.5lb per week but have been losing a little more as I've increased the exercise. The inches are coming off and the flab is toning up esapecially on weeks with a little loss.

Did WW a couple of years ago and it took me ages to lose 1 stone. SW works better for me but all these clubs are helpful as staying to the meeting gives added motivation and encouragement.

Perhaps that is what I should do is join a club. Maybe I would feel more motivated then. I will have to see what is around here and how much they are. I hope they aren't too expensive as funds are limited at the moment.

Find one that has a special offer on joining. Rosemary Conley classes include exercise too. Most of them are between £4 and £5 per week and that makes you less likely to cheat and 'waste' you fee. Even if you only do it for a month you'll get books and advice and we'll provide the support.

Thanks for the advice, I shall do some looking around for what around my area

we'll hold you to that Pepi -no excuses this time.

If I forget will you remind me?

Oh yes! - there's no escape now.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a bossy cow today but I feel so much better for losing a few pounds and I want you to feel good about yourself too.

No,that is fine Jane, I really need a hoof up the backside. I'm getting quite low about how much weight I've put on so thank you.
I really want to get to a place where I can like myself (well body anyway) I do quite like me as a person, just wish I was a smalller person

Liking yourself is a good start, loosing a few pounds will make you feel even better I'm sure
