:D

Im going to join in this one too see if u girlies can give me the kick up the bum i need!!!!
Went to WW last night for the first time in 4 weeks and i put 4lbs on , which to be fair was better than expected as i have eaten what i wanted and not even thought about a diet plus sat on my fat bum and done noooo fitness.
So next week i hope to have lost 2lbs!!!!!!
off for a jog tonight and getting back down the gym next week.

Im joining to, so i will have to start with my weight as of today.....

Where do i get the tea from????? Is it the chineese tea ive read about on the net?

Hi Jenna,
welcome to the slimming posse :0)
Dr Stuarts slim plus. Its £1.85 ish for 20 bags. Normal big supermarkets sell it. Its where they sell the normal tea bags, is a white box and the pic on the box is of a man with a cup cake as a body :0) Its a herbal appetite suppressant. Works wonders :0)

Right they smell worse than they taste... They smell like fennell/aniseed but dont taste that bad, I drink them luke warm and down it... They are fine, drink about 2 to 5 a day. Have brekkie, couple of pieces of fruit, some raisins then din dins at night :0)
Kx

I will give them a try.... god knows i drank enought rasberry leaf when i was pregnant im sure ill stomach this, for the good of my health, lol!

Hey guys can I join too? I don't have too much to lose but when I tried my dress on last september I was 8 stone 12 (I had been hammering the gym and on weight watchers) and now I'm about 9 and a half - still ok but I felt better when I was 9lb lighter and I looked nicer in my dress! I've been slacking off the gym but I'm going back after this weekend and I'm back on the healthy eating as of Monday - weekend is always a write off for me!!! Can I just ask how do you girls keep to it at the weekend if you're out socialing etc - that's my downfall x x

I started a 3 day diet plan yesterday. All going well so far so I shall join you next week and tell you how much weight i've lost :) You don't get to eat much but if you stick to it and eat sensibly the other 4 days you can loose big amounts each week. Also if you do it on the week days u can still eat decent food when your socialising on weekends x

If you can't do the tea then Tesco Slimming Aid Tablets are pretty good too you take one after every meal although I do tend to forget. All I've done is cut out dessert after dinner (unless I REALLY want it!) & tried to be a bit more sensible about stuff but I'm still eating chocolate whenever I want it but sometimes I realise it's the taste rather than the whole bar (other times of course it's the whole packet) & I still HATE salad lol! Everything in moderation and eventually you lose the weight. I'm now 8st 7lb which is fab all my pre-baby clothes fit again but I wanna b 8st for the wedding (& no don't think I'm mad it's just that I'm short!!) so gonna keep going til I get there :)

xx

I wish we could magic the weight off! I'm just tucking into my lunch - 5 satine crackers n cottage cheese (yuuuuck!) tea is 2 slices of cold meat, 4oz broccoli and 2 oz of carrots. the best thing is you get 1/2 banana and 4oz vanilla ice-cream after t. Sooo worth starving all day for that ;)

Yh it's just so hard not to snack in between :( x

It says you can have tea but its gotta be black, just found out it's quite nice lol. Thanks for the water tip, not keen on it but if it works I'll give it a go. Thnks x

Aw I wish I liked salad and I've tried to make myself like it but I just don't lol! My downfall is carbs especially bread and I love cheese way too much. I should really stop having cheese toasties at midnight! x

I could only ever eat a salad if it's covered in dressing with loads of cheese on top. Kinda defeats the purpose lol. I do love other veg tho can't get enough broccoli carrots turnip and I love peas, it's hard to get these veg into all my meals tho x

I love salad... could eat it everyday!

I've stayed the same these last two weeks. I should really be putting weight on, my bump is growing but i'm losing weight. xx

Melly I lost quite a bit at the beginning of my pregnancy cos I stopped drinking alcohol!! lol x

I am having the opposite result!! :( been eating healthier for 2 weeks and doing a bit more exercise but weight is still going on!!!! Not sure how much exactly as scales broke from my daughter throwing them so going by belt notches!! lol. Got docs tuesday for thyroid test cos apparently weight gain while trying to lose, shot memory and lots of tiredness are signs of underactive thyroid!! :( Bloody hope not!!! Gotta go down 2 sizes!!!!! Wish me luck ladies??!!?? xxxx

Could be. Are you gaining weight and feeling permanently exhausted too (can fully understand exhaustion with baby though)?? What about hair loss?? Is there more in the plughole after a shower than usual?? Another thing to check for is the thinning of the outside of the eyebrows.
I spent all monday morning preparing to take my son nursery for the afternoon then 10 mins before leaving, I remembered he does not go on Mondays anymore and hasn't for more than a month!!! Saturday, I asked OH about 10 times what he wanted me to do for tea the next day (thinking the chicken may need defrosting) and he kept reminding me that we were going to his mums for tea!! Last Friday, I almost forgot my daughter had nursery in the afternoon and remembered about 2 hours before and today I forgot she had nursery again and only remembered half an hour before having to leave so had to nearly rush her lunch down her throat!!! Normally I would find this sort of thing funny but it's starting to freak me out now and I am getting paranoid that I am gonna accidently leave my kids somewhere or forget to lock the door when I go out!!! When it was little things, I put it down to the stress I have been through this past year with my Dads death but now it has all calmed down for now, my memory is a lot worse!!!! I have no idea what my memory will be like if it doesn't get sorted before it starts up again in September!!!

oops 4 weeks lol x

Thats good that your losing inches....yea to you!!!

Well I'm bug****d tonight.... BBQ and loads of food that is far too yummy! Filling up on diet coke at the moment so I dont overeat! Sausages, burgers, prawns, salmon (for me!), bread and rolls, salad (for me!) loads of accompaniments - gherkins, pickles, sauces, coleslaws, rice things, garlic mushrooms, baked potatoes, Pringles (will have to hide them from myself!), pretzels and then black forest gateaux, pavlova, lemon tart, millionaire shortbread and chocolate brownies....... I dont have a hope in hell of being good tonight! 2 bottles of wine on chill, a crate of cider, another of Guiness and a bottle of Malibu as well. I do add though that we have 10 people coming so its not all just for me!!!!

Have now added Malibu to my diet coke..... so feeling nice and happy! And not so hungry now so thats a good thing... and reading about colonic irrigation has reduced my appetite somewhat I must admit! xx

No curry tonight then? LOL Need a drink tonight to steady my nerves, quite an exciting occasion really, H2Bs stepson is coming over and its our first 'family occasion' together, his mother forbid him from seeing H2B after their divorce and its only now that she has moved away and left him behind (he IS 19 however I hasten to add!) that he is able to come and see us. What is lovely is that H2Bs parents are also coming tonight and they havent seen each other properly socially for SO long, will be fab to get them all back together again like this! H2B raised him from the age of 5 and hasnt seen very much of him since his divorce 3 years ago, lots of catching up to do! And my son who is 15 has said he can stay over on his top bunk if he wants to have a drink or two! Woo hoo! Happy families!
