Hi All,

I thought I would start a new thread for 2011 - to motivate us to get going again.

If in a week or so we all log our losses, we will see how well we are doing this year - a terrific loss for last year.

We will still see total loss including 2010 as I will post this on here too!

I just thought we could consider 2011 a fresh start for all!

I personally would like to forget the xmas gain but give myself a pat on the back for any loss this year!

Hope you all agree?🙂
 
Sounds good to me although not sure when i will be able to start posting about losses!! LOL

I received 4 big boxes of chocolates and just had to open one!! Oops.
 
Sounds good. I'm lucky I didn't gain any over Xmas :D
 
Hey great to see 3 old timers back (ducks quickly!)
Might want to take a look at my menu post today also, let me know what you think.
I for one, certainly need some support to get going with it this week, have been great today, but it wasn't easy!
 
Do I need to loose the 4 pounds I have put on in the last week first or does it start from now?
 
Its up to you Sheilagh - I personally am going for a fresh start, so whatever I lose from now will count as a loss - I think this will be what motivates me best, So whatever motivates you - you go for it.

Nice to see you back too Sheilagh.

Your meal at lunch really interested me think i will give that a go Lucy x

Less of the old :D
 
I have to say today as been good - really enjoyed each of the meals!

I can't wait for the book to arrive - it should have been yesterday but Amazon, say no more!

The fillet steak was gorgeous tonight and the celeriac mash was absolutely gorgeous and I think I prefer to normal mash! Definitely worth trying.

I have actually enjoyed cooking today too - just hope I still enjoy when back at work, but I have to say the meals were all quick - the hardest part was peeling the celeriac - so if anyone has any tips on this please let me know!

Haven't planned tomorrow yet - but will probably start with same breakfast!

will start from weight today. Here we go again. Good luck everyone
 
Yes - to you as well Sheilagh.
I go to see my son in June in Doha and would like another 3 stone off for then so really need to keep my act together, to add this to the 3.5 already lost. I will look like a different woman if I manage it. I am not putting pressure on myself though, just going to keep on with the low carb diet and all the pt, exercise and tennis that i enjoy and cross my fingers my efforts are rewarded!
 
Wow you have really well so far. You will be a different women when you visit your son. I have got my daughters wedding in june 2012 so would like to also three stone for that. I feel ready to get back to healthy eating and exercise
 
Great idea Lucy, especially as i had put on 4lbs, but as of this morning I have lost 2lbs. Does that count? I hope it does, i have worked really hard with the exercise :D
 
It does count Tracey - well done. I weighed myself today and only started Jan 1st and have lost 3lbs already - but going to wait until 1 Friday to post my total weight as could go up or down by then.

Do you want to record your 2lb now to start us off Tracey or wait until a week is up?

Well done on the exercise!
 
Thanks Lucy, I see. I will see what I am on Friday too then, hope it can be more by then, probably about a week for me then too.

Like you i kept the exercise going and have done more as ive not been working but still put weight on.

I have chucked out all rubbish food and now only buying healthy things, booze is off the menu too! 🙂
 
HI - I am with you there. Just eating chocolate, potatoes, bread, mince pies gave me a fabulous 8lb gain over the two week xmas period (week leading up to xmas saw 3 xmas meals too and 2 lunches!). We still have naughty food in the house, but hubby and son are very athletic stick thin, so they will see the rest off. I do feel quite smug saying no to it all - its just retraining everyone else not to offer it now!

I dread to think how much weight I would have put on without the exercise.

I have started a new low carb diet yesterday and feel good on it so far. I have started a thread called Todays menu to give others fresh ideas too.

Look forward to your post on Friday. I have to get organised now for tomorrow as back at work tomorrow.
 
Oh well - I put on 1.5 lbs this week making a total of 1lb over the holiday period. Not unhappy with that to be honest and will now get serious again.
 
For me it is no loss this week..not to unimpressed shall push forward for the week ahead x
 
Sorry everyone that's me just noticing this thread 😱. I have been extremely bad over xmas and new year, tubs of pringles, lots of chocolates, lots of nuts to name but a few. I was like a woman possessed :(. I went on the scales on Monday and was shocked with what I saw and have been very good since then (haven't had any crisps or choc this year). My official wi is tomorrow so will start from there. Good luck everyone 🙂 x
