Just been weighed at ww and have lost another 0.5lb I'm happy with that because I thought id gained. Roll on January when I go back to the gym :)

Hi Helen

Lula - go you for being so strong surrounded by all that lush stuffs, just reading that made my mouth water. Don't be down hearted about the gain bubbles, you have done so fabulously. (Thank you for your offer of the piccie, I may take you up on it so keep it handy but I won't just yet. You really are a wunnerful person :o). Utterly gorgeous inside and out). I think you could be right about the water retaining by the way as no I didn't drink quite as much before beginning this.

Yay kimi for the loss.

Well I began with renewed vigour yesterday, thanks to a few words of practical advice from the lovely lula and my amazing h2b. Basically Ash put his foot down with me and said that we were going to have a weekend of full relaxation, as he walked in on Friday night at about the usual time (11pm-ish) and before he even had time to say 'hello', I told him how I had remembered I had to go for an MRI on the Saturday (despite having had an obscene amount of them they still get me stoopidly agitated), how I had arranged for the kids to go to my mothers for the day (if you have read my thread on the last time they went you will understand why I had concerns), how I was still stressee about not losing anything at WW etc, how I can't find anything for people for xmas and oh soo much more. Then promptly burst into tears. (I wasn't all shoutee just very frustrated as it had been a very rough week or so)
He literally put his stuff down and threw his arms around me and said 'we are having a weekend of fun, relaxation and nothingness! No arguments on this!' The next morning he arranged for the kids to stay overnight, sat with me through my MRI, went to M & S and got one of their £10 meal deals, cooked it all by himself without wrecking the kitchen too much lol, and took me for a night out just the two of us.

We talked about the food/weight thing and all of that and have worked out a whole load of adaptations for me to be able to use. I feel so much more calmer and refreshed.

So for me, it bean again yesterday and I am once more determined :oD.. Love & light everybody

aw floateelight, thats so lovely of him! it is horrible when everything mounts up on you and then all of a sudden it all comes crashing down into a pool of tears! but glad you've talked things through and got it all worked out :) good luck and we're all here to support you all the way!

aw congrats on the loss Kimi :) that great news!!

I'm off to my WW tonight & tbh i am dreading it! if it tells me ive sts or put on i will absolutely burst into tears, and being a helper that is not something I can just go and do, as once we've been weighed we have to open up and let members thru! i have been so determined this week like you wouldnt believe, for those who do WW, none of my 49, none of my rubbish, absolutely nothing bad apart from a bite of the pretzel i got my OH at weekend! was hoping it would of meant a loss today but for some reason my scales are saying otherwise ugh!! we shall see... i know i should be happy if ive sts but not when i ate some weeklies last few wks and have lost 1/2lb or stayed the same!! technically i shud have a great loss this week but yeh.... we will see!

x

you could try the 30DS? its cardio/toning/strength all in one? and only about 20min, well 27/28min inc warmup / down... means you dont have to leave your house or go out in the cold to the gym?
Dont have to do it strictly for 30 days... or try one of her other DVDs? Its only £5er off rain still xx

ah well if its in your home and you already pay then go for it! dont force yourself into doing it so many times, go if and when you want that way you will be more motivated and determined.. rather than setting yourself 3 days a week or whatever and then fail...
If i choose when to do something im more likely to stick to it than forcing myself... just like when your doing WW, if your minds not in it you wont be! xx

well if hes telling you your not doing enough, ask him what he suggest then?
Its good that he pushes you but once youve been do you feel better that he's pushed you into doing it? ask him to step back from the criticising, as much as you want the push and the motivation from him to keep you determined there is a fine line!
why dont you sit down with him and work out some sort of regime?

stretches to warm up, 15min bike, 15min treadmill/crosstrainer, arm weights, leg weights, 15min treadmill/crosstrainer, warm down... something like that? x

have fun xx

Went to weigh in yesterday and lost 3.5 :)

So, we dived the gym last night - neither of us clearly waned to go as we had our tea and then a glass of champers then we were like "oh we cant go if we've had a drink"

So tonight, I am going on my fitness thing on the ps3. I would much rather just go and do that anyway as it's helped me tonnes before!

Well i was doing soooo well i was eating healthy and going gym around 4 times a week,,..

Then i done alot of extra hours at work and didnt have time or was too tired now im back to square one with no motivation!! arggg

Once i go i love it there its jst gettting myself there!

Yay Jackie to the loss :oD.

Woots to you lula, just keep thinking (like the advert) every little helps :o). Check you out for completing 30DS, when I eventually get mine through the post you shall be my guru of all things rofl. Keep ya chin up chickles.

hey xbeckix, the weather doesn't help I think but the sun will be shining soon. You can do it.

I had weigh-in yesterday and didn't lose, so am still 12st 6lb but am being all positive as it is better than a gain and as I have myself a new toy to play with in the kitchen (a faboo hand blender plus attachments) I have been going mad making loads of batches of healthy soups and sauces for me to eat. Problem is that the kids like them too and have so far had half my stock lmao. So had to make a load more today and try to get them cooled and in the freezer before they got in from school.

After feeling very low and all pleh about it all am being very up beat about things, to the point of ooober annoying lol. Waiting on my copy of 30DS to arrive and then shall be hitting that too, the way I see it is even if I don't lose weight and stuff at least I will get fit in the attempt and reclaim the ability to deal with food stuffs and all that malarky :o).

I think that we are all doing marvelously and you are all fab, keep going

Just had a scary thought...When it's the new year are we going to have a new thread? x

Woohoo!! 4lbs off this week! So chuffed with that, I've really struggled to lose anything and virtually gave up - kicked myself back into gear last week and it def paid off! Now to keep it up! xx

Awhh it got closed x

Hi hope you don't mind me joining in. I have been a rejoining member of SW about I'm sure 5 times now but this is the longest I've stuck at it. I normally get yoyo results(1 wk off 1wk on) but have managed to lose 1stone 3lb so far. It's took me since sept but I'm a bit scared I'm going to go off the rails at Christmas. My mini goal to myself was to lose 2lb more to get my club ten award (meaning I've lost 10% body weight since start) but not sure I'm going to do it as was quite "bad" this week & have my work do next weekend. My weigh in's a wed night so I'm trying to be extra good from now til then to try & make up for the bad stuff at the weekend :) x

Lost another 1.5lb this week. It's Not as much as is like but its a loss

Welcome Mrsmck2b! congrats on your loss so far and well done kimi too!

Lula I've got a good feeling that that silly 1lb will hae gone away lol! Good luck for tonight!

As for me my scales read 13,2 This morning which means i have currently lost 2 stone and 2 pounds. Yeyyy! Plus only 2 pounds away from my 3rd goal weight. (I have a goal every stone I lose, my GW is 11 stone and my UGW is 10) x

I went to sw last night & thought I'd been half bad but turns out I was REALLY bad!! I have 3.5lb on!! Feel bad so back to basics for me too & hopefully I'll get that 3.5lb off before Xmas. Have staff do this wknd so don't think I'll get it off this wk

Natalie and MrsMcK2B don't worry too much about putting on, the important thing is that you get it back off. :)

I'm really worried about xmas I can see a 4lb gain coming on (I always gain 4lb when I go home). x
