well another week over. everyhing seems to have slowed down for me, ive been trying hard to eat senible and excercise but weighed this morning and ive only lost 1lb, im now 12st 11lb, still cant get back to the 12st 8lb that i was 2wk ago. i dont think ill hit my target of being 12st my my daughters wedding as its in 2wk time, awh well just have to keep trying 🙂
 
Well done Tracey, after the hen night it is brilliant you have lost anything!

Glad you had a good night and a loss is a loss, no matter how little you think it may be. Just 1lb per week would see a stone disappearing by Christmas!

thanks steff. hehe i like your dads saying 🙂
 
sorry im only putting my mondays weigh in now
(laptop playing up)
ive stayed the same im afraid, still 12st 11lb :(
didnt get to my target for my daughters wedding this friday but im not going to let it get me down.
when i was at her hen party 2wk ago family an friends who hadnt saw me in ages actuly noticed that id lost weight an complmented me so im happy with that.
maybe when the weddings over ill start relaxing abit more and the weight might start coming off again. i have to admit i have been stressing alot about the wedding so maybe that has something to do with it.

well done to everyone who lost this week, your all doing great 🙂
 
Hi Tracy, I think to stay the same is fantastic considering your hen night and all the stress. There are times when weight loss has to take second place and I would count your daughters wedding as one of these - have a fabulous day!

hiya tracey, don't lose faith in yourself about not losing as much weight as you wanted. In august 2009 i weighed 27stone 8lbs. I managed to get my head around the simple fact if i didn't lose weight i'd end up on a stainless steel table with a name tag around my big toe.

I currently weigh in at 21 stone 12lbs. It's been hard work, but i feel much better in myself and my diabetic nurse is very happy with my progress, (and my BMI is down 10 points too!)

Walking and cycling are my exercises of choice, and i plan on doing a sponsored bike ride next summer along NCR5 (the north wales coast route) with half of the sponsorship money going to Diabetes UK and the other half to another charity (in memory of my partner who died earlier this year after a long illness)

Anyway, don't stress out about the weight issue, just enjoy the wedding!

feeling realy anoyed with myself. my weight is staying the same, still 12st 11lbs.
could this realy be because ive not been excercising. when i was on the wii every day my weight was coming down but ive not been feeling up to it for a few weeks. was the wii realy helping me then?
 
Hi Tracey,

I know you are having some stress at the moment, and this can really affect weight loss. I would get your headaches sorted first, have a little rest, and don't worry about weight at the moment. Take a week out and we will still be here for you when you are ready to go at it again. Take care.

I definitely have had times when the weight didn't shift. Mostly it could be explained because I'd not been very strict diet-wise or my exercise levels had dropped. But sometimes it was just as if the body was 'taking a rest for a bit'.

There is just so much going on with bodies it's difficult to pin-point causes some times. But one thing is for certain, if you're eating well and exercising and the weight doesn't come off, you're still doing yourself a power of good!

Andy 🙂
