Well done everyone. Hopefully I will be joining you soon with weight losses. The four pounds I put on are coming off slowly but surely
 
Well done Mark and Carol - keep up the great work.
Mark - it must feel fabulous to have a bmi that good!

Over 14 stone since Christmas - amazing!
 
Well, another 1lb off this week.

14st 1.5lb

BMI is 25.1 - so near!!!
 
So proud of you Marg - 25 is just around the corner!
 
Well done MargB and everyone else. 🙂

It's going to be a while before I post anything here. My previous attempts at restarting my weight loss failed dismally, but I've just seen the consultant again and he wasn't happy with me being 1st heavier than the last time I saw him! :D

Anyway, today is day 2 of my new resolve (Lucy has shamed me into getting organised again!). Day 1 went very well.

Andy 🙂

Very. Think that has made me happier than seeing the weight drop off.

I am "almost" normal weight, no longer overweight. Never thought I would make it as I expected my ulcers to play up or bowel/colon or my willpower to disappear under the weight of a big cake!! Slightly worried as my stomach is protesting about all the fruit I have been eating but I am really going to try to make that final .1 drop off the BMI figure.

Go for it Marg! I have no doubt you'll get there soon, a great achievement! 🙂
 
I'm very upset this morning because I weighed myself and found that I've put on ten pounds in the last ten weeks.......not surprised really because I've been fighting hard to stay on top of life. Not sure that I'm up to "dieting" at the moment but I certainly don't want to go above the 13 stone 12 pounds that I currently weigh! Can I post on here each week even if I haven't actually lost weight.....it might encourage me to have smaller portions and less snacks and do more exercise and then in turn that the weight gain will then hopefully be reversed

I think the more the merrier :D Hopefully we can offer you some encouragement too!
 
AJ - of course you can join us - the WLG is a bit more than just losing the weight - it is about maintaining too if thats all we can manage - the best thing of all is all the support and motiviation we receive - both Mark and Margb are motivating me - I am a long long way off a bmi of 25, but reading their posts lets me know it can be done ...one day!

I look forward to reading your posts AJ

One tip- why not try and think of one thing you could change for the better (one less glass of wine maybe or wine and soda - or one less potato?) Little changes can bring great results.
 
AJ, of course you are very welcome to post here - anything we can do to help, just let us know! 🙂
 
Thanks everyone. The cookies (from Christmas) and the parts of the Easter Egg that are left will be thrown in the bin today. Should really cut down on wine consumption but I know that I will find that the most difficult thing.... I've also sat down with my Weightwatchers App and planned out all of my food for the next two days. On top of that I've just made an appointment to get my haircut this afternoon to signify the start of getting to grips with weight loss again. thank you for all of your support.
 
Sounds like you are starting to get a plan already AJ - well done.
 
Well done Marg, you must feel great :D x
 
Thanks all.

AJ, you are 1lb heavier than I was in February 2010 when I joined Slimming World and the consultant says I was one of the most cynical members she had had for a while! I don't plan too far ahead and am always ready to ditch it if my health suffers - but it hasn't and I feel better than I have for years!!! I have ditched the crisps and the biscuits. I just don't buy them anymore. I am impressed if you have had Easter eggs in the house and not eaten them. How do you do that? It was a friend at work who got me in to Slimming World and we still text each other every week at weigh-in to say how we have done. She has been at target for well over a year but still goes each week with her mum and sister as they are more like me. She struggles to keep at one weight whereas I struggle to shift it. So fed up of only losing a 1lb or half a pound. But 1lb a week over a year is 52lbs. Sounds good to me.

Do come and join us as we all help each other. Our losses, our gains, our being stuck is something everyone on this forum identifies with. And that helps. We are not freaks. I have found being able to discuss certain foods on here as a diabetic invaluable and is something I can't do at Slimming World. Just like me before diagnosis, they don't really know what life is like after being diagnosed.

Sorry for rambling but when I read where your weight is right now, I had to write to something. Honestly, if I can do it, Miss Cynical-Yeah-Right, then anyone can.
 
Hi Marg thank you so much for that lovely message. It has really helped me to see that you were nearly the same weight to begin with because all I keep seeing are posts congratulating you about the weight you've lost. I keep trying to think that one pound a week is 52lbs in a year but I never seem to keep to losing weight for long and then it goes back on. I would so love to lose the weight this time so that I have more energy and go back to buying clothes from the high street........and get my face slimmer!!
