    Oh defo is. I also feel slobbish as this week I am unable to get to the gym, I was meant to go last night but with the headache I could not shift I couldn't go. I cannot do anything today as working and tomorrow I am working and then got parents evening. I did get told I looked really slim today when I got called into work but I honestly feel the size of a whale.

    Glitterairy at least its just water retention so it should be easy to come off in a couple of days, try and stay positive, your doing well with your weight loss and people are noticing too!

    I have 1lb till target, weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed (then its my hen this weekend so ill probably put on half a stone :O) lol

    Yeah, I should really as I know once the water retention is gone the weight will go back down as well. Think with that and a combination of not being able to go to the gym is making me feel more sluggish. Need to be good today but can feel rubbish food entering my body with being so tired.

    Good luck with the weigh in,

    I love cereal, I would eat it all day if I could, thankfully OH is on bad food watch and stops me from eating the stuff I shouldn't. He's great like that but at the same time when I have a pizza craving or a chippy craving I want to kill him for telling me no.

    ooh well done Stacey! and fingers crossed for that loss award! I had a maintain this week and honestly I am more than happy, i was expecting to get there and have a 3 pound gain at least!

    I'm going to try an SP week this week to boost my losses and see where that gets me x

    Well done on getting target Mrs C!

    I've been reading up on here but not had much to post. By way of an update me and my fiancé finally moved in together (and out of our parents) so SW was on the back burner a little. I also need to find a new class as I'm too far from my previous one but felt like the plan worked for me as I actually enjoyed going to that class. I will find a new one soon though as I just cant get back into the swings of being fully on plan at home. My OH also wants to follow it with me from home so that should makes things easier. I also joined a gym last week and there is a pool there too so hoping to get fit again now the days are lighter :) x

    put on 1/2 lb but not bad considering its just been the hen weekend.

    its free now so you don't have to pay once your a target member as long as you stay +3lb/-3lb from target. i'm still going each week so i know i can stay the same size for the dress!! x

    Going to push for my stone award next week, will be following the same week as when I last lost 3lb so fingers crossed.

    I had a great week this week, i did the SP week like I mentioned and it's given me a fantastic boost. 4 pound off this week! only 16 pound more to go until I'm at target, I can't wait x

    thank you :) i'm really hoping to push myself and get it off either by the hen party which is 10th June or if that fails i want it off by my first dress fitting which is 1st July so that gives me either 8 weeks (2 pound a week) or 11 weeks (1.5 pound a week) so fingers crossed that can be done! Going to have to stick 100% to plan I think x

    went back to SW a couple of weeks back and feel like I have finally found my feet. 3.5lbs off this week, if I can do that again that is my half stone! so here is to staying on track this week and through easter!

    Well done everyone. You are all doing amazing!

    I've gained weight again :'( although I did weigh myself day after op so not sure if that makes a difference lol.

    I'm back to being classed as overweight by only 2lb but you should of heard the dr it was like the end of the world!

    I want to get to between 9-10 stone so need to lose 1-2 stone and also need to get my fat percentage from 39% to 21%. Am I right in thinking to reduce fact I need to tone up more? I swear most of it is in my thighs, they are like tree trunks lol.

    So nervous about weigh in tonight, really want that stone award!! Went to my exercise class Tuesday, OMG I am feeling the pain today.

    Tiffany I'm the same as you aiming for 9st5lb so I will be in the "healthy" zone, I always get dodgy looks from doctors and nurses. It is really rude and strange.

    A good balance of healthy eating and exercise will help reduce your fat percentage. I've lost 11lb so far and have seen quite a difference in my legs.

    Stacey, i want to get 2 pound of tonight as i desperately want to get my 2 stone award so fingers crossed for us both! although i think i will likely lose around 1.5 and just be short x

    Mrs T, I would recommend looking around. I got a l3t5c0m tracker. £20 of the rainforest website. the sleep tracker doesn't work at all in my opinion but the step tracker is good. Waterproof as well which I love as I use it mainly for swimming.
    I loved the idea but wanted a waterproof one and didn't like the waterproof f1tb1t ones. looked around and OH found that one.

    Have a look round :)
