another maintain for me. Although considering all the things I ate it is a minor miracle!!

My Slimming World countdown has 3 weeks left and I have 2lbs to go to reach target but ... out for a meal last night which is now lying heavily and a brother is home and wants to go out for a meal so probably won't have a loss this week and will be lucky to maintain.
 
Could you do a little more exercise this week than normal MargB that might help a little? Maybe go for an extra couple of long walks?
I still think you are doing fabulously though.x

Lucy123 is the boss byt I'm sure she would say feel free to join - the more the merrier 🙂

What I do is weight myself once a week and if it's a lower weight we add it to the running total (in lb's).

It's always your lowest weight you add, so if you drop 1lb, then put on a 1lb the next week and take it off the week after you don't double count that loss.
 
Hi - Mark hit the nail on the head, regarding how we record weight. Weigh yourself once a week if you can and then if you at your lightest, record your loss for that week. If you put on weight, dont record your loss (but please still post) until the weight is off again.

There are a few sections to the WLG - have you read the pledges thread and the Non Scale Victories threads - these can motivate too.

What sort of a diet are you planning on doing - I always find it best to plan your meals out for the week and try to stick to them.

I won't say its easy - we have seen lots of gains as well as losses on here but overall I think the total says we are doing fine.

It might also be motivating to set yourself a short term goal too. Do you have much to lose? If so, break it down into bits.

I hope this helps, please ask if you have any questons.
 
I do yoga once a week, salsa once a week, run for trains everyday, work in my allotment and garden approx 3 times a week. Just bought a bike so hopefully will be on this at the weekend, swim occasionally. I am currently working closely with my dietician to get my insulin/food ratios right and then from next Friday weigh in and start looking at ways to lose weight. Would love to lose a stone and then I could reduce my insulin.
 
1 stone sounds a reasonable target - maybe break it down into 2 lots half stone? I am sure you will reach your target and its great that you are seeing the dietician too.🙂

Yes - well done Macast - sorry I missed it too!
 
Well I've lost another 2 lb this week, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I have been trying to eat more to slow the rate of loss 😱

Down to a BMI of 23.6 kg/m2 now 🙂

Group loss running total is 16 stone 0.5 lbs
 
Well done.

Well done EVERYBODY - have you seen the total since Jan 1st??? Flipping heck.

Excellent Marg! Personally, I can fluctuate by that much from day to day, but it will be nice to see the target appear regularly! Don't blow it by eating too many profiteroles at the York Meet! 😉
 
Oooh, so we have permission to eat ANY profiteroles???

Apparently the All Day Breakfast is good.
