~Well done Carol, your week has been as stressful as mine I think - so half a pound is excellent. Well done!

Tracey - the exercise is just as important and you will see a difference on the scales soon because of it, so keep at it - well done.
 
Keep going Lizzie, it will come off if you keep at it!

Lost half a pound over the two weeks. Just another 1lb and I would be into the next stone but I always stall at the half and full stone markers. Got to be in my head.

so, 7 stone 13lbs

I also suffer with the same problem when it gets to the next stone.....so frustrating isn't it

Ha Ha - now why didn't we think of that one Bev - just done it and I am only 8 stone! Problem is there is a mirror behind me and thats saying otherwise!!
 
Well after much discussion with OH, we decided our digital scales arnt right.

I keep going up 2lb down 2lb, and now he has taken up exercise too, motivated by me and he thinks he should be a bit lighter.

So i said right ill buy new ones this week, but this morning im down the 2lb again, so I now think they are working after all :D

Put something of a known weight on them and see what you get.

This 2lb up and down is something that I've regularly experienced too, but I think it is more down to my natural bodily variations. Drinking a pint of water can make the difference of atleast a lb straight away!

Current Total Weight Loss :-

7st 13lbs

Can I join the weight loss group????? Seems like you're all encouraging each other loads. I started doing slimming world at the end of July because I decided to stop pretending that I was happy with my weight. It's been like someone flicking a switch in my head. I have lost exactly 3 stone so far and am thoroughly enjoying it and best of all.....it's easy! Wish I'd done it years ago!

Keep it up you guys!

That's actually sounding pretty good to me. I think you've done really well to put a stop to the gain and reverse it quickly. 🙂

Thanks and well done for adding something to the total Tracey! I'm not likely to be contributing anything for a little bit (but am getting there!).

Andy you will get there, I have litterally never done so much exercise, im up to runnning 35 mins without walking in between. A great achievement for me personally.

But weight loss been slow. However I am happy to think my health must be benefitting from the exercise and im sure the weight will come off when its ready.

I actually think that a slow weight loss is the way to go. I think that it gives the body time to adjust and means that when the target weight is achieved there isn't much of a change required to stop any further weight loss.

It also makes it more of a lifetime lifestyle change (if you get my drift) as opposed to a temporary 'diet' approach.

Running for 35mins non-stop is a definite achievement in my book! Well done!! 🙂
 
well done tracey, your doing great. wow running for 35mins, i managed 5mins running today on the wii pretending i was on a track an i was knakered, did some boxing and tennis on it aswel so about 1hr excersise on the wii, then 10mins on my rowing machine, will defantly be trying much harder.
