Lesley Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Continuing from Healthy Eating Chat Part 1 Welcome Ste and Claire Never heard of it Ste but looking forward to seeing how you get on with it. Claire, I've just started using the WiiFit as well - it's been in its box for a year It will tell me off when I next use it though.... I haven't used it since Boxing Day!

sparkysmum Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hello folks, going to join you again No idea what weight I am except that it's much too much. I reckon I have about 1.5 stones to lose. None of my clothes fit me comfortably & I feel really sluggish. Also going to give up alcohol Have been having one glass too many, too often Hope to step up the exercise too and have signed up to Janathon - have a look & join me if you like (I'm sparkysmumruns) http://www.janathon.com/ Here's to a fitter, leaner, faster you, me & everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'd like to join you all, if that's ok? Have been yo-yoing for ages but new year, new start etc etc. I've decided to give the new WW propoints plan a go, but will be doing it online, rather than going to meetings (WAY too ashamed to go to meetings). Signing up tonight when I get home as they have a special on at the moment, about £30 for three months. I'd also be really interested to hear if anyone has good (or other) results with their Wii fit ... ! So here it goes ... Good luck everyone!

craftyhunnypie Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm back at Weight watchers tonight. I know I've put on a few pounds over Xmas - hey ho that's life. I'm having a big galaxy counters chocolate fix now as the damage has been done - so all good again from tomorrow - with just small choccy fixes occassionally.

stehaggan Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Im at the end of day 5 of my diet now and I put my work suit on this morning and I swear it actually fits me better and my shirts too which felt like the buttons were due to pop previously. We have been walking the dog more and taking the steps each day and we've just got home and i'm no longer even tired. My diet is more a way of eating than a diet, i can have all yummy things.. chicken, cheese, beef, cream etc and in a few weeks I can reintroduce chocolate and wine after next week i hope i' actually losing weight though lol I am actually looking forward to stepping on the scales on monday - I am resisting for now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well I've had a good couple of days and hey no wine I'm really pleased about this cos it was getting quite a habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 the problem I have with wine... is the fact I get gum cravings when i drink it (fruit gums, midget gems, licourice, you name it, if I can eat it I will ) so, I will ease up on the wine too ive decided to do "dinner cards" im going to write loads of different (but yummy) slimming world recipes on different cards and pick 7 a week, they will include the needed ingredients on the back to help with my shopping and my dinner planning. if i plan this correctly I can use previous nights tea for the following days dinner does this sound sensible? or do I sound like a complete nutter cathy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That sounds a great idea Cathy I wish this cough would go away and i had more energy to do stuff. I'm being careful what i eat, blood sugar still much to high though Off to the diabetic nurse at 5-30 so hoping she can help. Have been wii fitting but can't do much at the moment. The body test, a bit of hula and one other gentle thing is enough to have me puffing, panting and coughing like a good un! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I only gained 3.5 lbs over Christmas so I'm fairly pleased with that considering that's since December 15th. My friend at WW lost 5 lbs She only allowed herself two days off! I wish I had that will power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodinparts Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Put on 3lb over Christmas - and not likely to climb successfully back on the wagon while my sons are still home from uni - but we are having lovely sociable mealtimes, sitting round the table so I only half regret this. Come 15th January, though, I must get on seriously again...so please, when you've finished kicking Emma & dragging Cathy around by her boot straps, would you all feel free to apply the boot to me as well. I HATE looking like the Vicar of Dibley whenever I put on a surplice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clash City Rocker Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Up 2lb this week, though still under my goal by 1lb Only 25 members of my group (should be 40) weighed in this week. As a group we lost 6.5lb, 2 people remained at the same weight and we put on 55lbs. I ran 7km in the Gym today for the first time in over a fortnight, it nearly killed me, though it should be easier on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi.......mmmmm (hangs head in shame) you all did really well over christmas .........errrr well the good news is I weighted in last night ........the bad news is....I put on 7.5lb in 2 weeks the week before xmas I was 0.5lb under target and now I am 1lb over target. My SW consultant said shes never had anyone go from under target straight to over target before. Iam unique I am ok about it now, but have been feeling really upset and silly today...I couldnt cope if all my weight went back on again..my knees and hip are feeling this already. Had a good SWday today but the wine bottle keeps calling me this evening...OH is at band practice.... no one will know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 gosh, well done to your "consultant" for making you feel inadequate dont open the wine, YOU will know, and YOU will feel bad about it... what about tonic water and lemon or lime? or lime and soda water to try and take the craving away we are all in this together, im not having a class of wine either , clink!! cathy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
