Beau Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Don't be going out to eat anywhere to eat this week then Beau! I'll eat your chips for you, if you like... Maz Rich's birthday today so I am cooking up an Italian extravaganza meal! I've a feeling I will be skulking at the back of this thread next week. Quote
JacquieL Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Well we have been a bit quiet on here recently but I just have to boast!! I have lost 7 lbs since Xmas and with what I lost before then I got my silver sticker tonight as I have lost a stone !!! Quote
louby loo Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Well I blame Geraldines 'mug cake' recipe for making it quiet here!!!!!!! Well done for losing a stone though xxx Quote
JacquieL Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I was so tempted by that recipe. It sounded so yummy and best of all quick. Quote
Guest Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Well done Jacquie! I put on two and a half pounds last week, so my eleven pounds lost went down to eight and a half. Hoping for better things this week. Quote
JacquieL Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I found that I went up and down in weight as well, so put the previous day behind you and keep going. I'm making vegetable soups which last a couple of lunchtimes, are very low in calories, and cheap go make. I made a carrot and parsnip soup last week which made 6 portions, it was delicious and after adding onions and a red pepper as well, worked out at around £1 for the lot as the carrots and parsnips were on offer in Tescos.

Beau Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I have to say that I haven't been so good recently - Rich's birthday and half term so dieting went out of the window! However, my total loss since Christmas is also 7lbs overall which I am pleased with. If I can lose another 7lbs by Easter I will be well on my way to my target. Quote
JacquieL Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Fantastic, and I'm hoping to do the same as you Beau. Thank goodness it's Lent as we will give up alcohol which will help. So tonight I shall enjoy pancakes with lemon and sugar 2.5 points each, and some wine, as number 2 son is popping over to show off his new car. Then that's it until Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday is also known as Refreshment Sunday, and a 'day off' the Lenten fast! And if I don't get my Wii-fit tomorrow I am going to sulk until Easter as well! Quote
Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Just thought I'd share my diet success with you all. I've lost 2 stones in 6 weeks on the LighterLife diet!!! Half a stone to go!!! I feel great!! Quote
Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Well done to everyone for their weight loss! We had a wii fit for Christmas and although I haven't been as good as my Mum, I thought it would be worth sharing - my Mum has lost 8lbs since Christmas and she is looking much trimmer and apparently firmer too according to my niece! Lots of people have noticed the change and she is very pleased with it too. Her skirts are looser and she is also feeling much healthier. She spends about an hour a day mainly doing the free step aerobics, the jogging and also does the balance, muscle and yoga exercises too. My excuse for not doing it as much is that she is always on the Wii fit but then I prefer to pound a treadmill! Quote
JacquieL Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 No sulks from me this Lent as son came tonight and set me up a Wii :( Quote
HappyMaz Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 If I can lose another 7lbs by Easter I will be well on my way to my target. Personally I'd say if you lost another half stone you'd be wasting away, but well done so far! Maz Quote
Beau Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Personally I'd say if you lost another half stone you'd be wasting away, but well done so far! Maz Well there's not much chance of it happening anyway if I get tempted by cheesecake and skinny chips! Quote
HappyMaz Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Well there's not much chance of it happening anyway if I get tempted by cheesecake and skinny chips! Mmm cheesecake! Just what a girl needs on a night such as this! Maz Quote
Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 No sulks from me this Lent as son came tonight and set me up a Wii :( Great Jacqui, I love my wii fit. Quote
HappyMaz Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Great Jacqui, I love my wii fit. I was rather hoping for one for my birthday! Will have to buy my own, I fear! Quote
Beau Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 So, I got up this morning with my new diet in mind. Usually I am happy to have a round of toast or some cereal for breakfast. What do I really really really fancy this morning? Fried egg sandwich!! Quote
JacquieL Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well you can have bread and egg for breakfast but poach the egg rather than fry it. then get onto your bike or wii and work off the calories...simple Quote
Guest Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well its the start of lent, so I have vowed to eat only my meals, no desserts and nothing in between apart from a bit chewing gum and the odd sugar free polo. Am not at weightwatchers at the moment as I have too much going on, but have parents who are determined to fatten me up for christmas so I have to take drastic action. Am looking forward to St Patricks day so I can have one little bit of chocolate!!! Quote
Guest Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I've lost a pound and a half this week, so I'm now the proud owner of a 'first stone certificate' award AND a sticker I'm going to celebrate with a creme egg jackie. Quote
Guest Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well done Jackie. I lost three and a half pounds this week which I am really pleased about after my gain last week. Hope to get to my stone next week. Quote
Cait Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 OOh snap! and it pulls me below the dreaded 11 stone, so, 10 stone something sounds sooooo much better! Quote
HappyMaz Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I've lost a pound and a half this week, so I'm now the proud owner of a 'first stone certificate' award AND a sticker I'm going to celebrate with a creme egg Well done jmb: its a great feeling isn't it? (and losing the pound and a half feels good too!) Maz Quote
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I've enjoyed reading up on everyones' successes as I haven't checked this thread for a while. You are all doing so well. Reading through it is curious how we consider weight loss as a 'diet' rather than a change of eating style. I think it's more to do with portion size, time of day you eat, time of month, 'balanced' consumption of food types, 5 smaller snacks spread through the day compared to 3 'meals', etc. Concentrate on these, and changing your eating habits rather than focusing on the odd creme egg, glass or two of wine etc. If you concentrate on the latter then you either feel guilty and comfort eat or just give up for the rest of the week. The best advice I had at WW was today's finished, back on track tomorrow. Howver, I haven't tracked since I became a gold member(Nov 08) I'm now 2lb below my goal weight but I still want to lose 1/2 stone. It took me a steady year to lose 1 stone and because of this steady loss I am quite confident I will keep it off. Becoming teetotal I am sure will help though Now the sun has begun to shine I am coming out of hibernation, I will walk the dog more often, get back on my Wii, which I've neglected for so long it's started gathering dust ! and generally get more active, no more lounging around in my dressing gown for most of the day. Keep at it everyone, your new 'life style' that is. Peggy Quote
