Losing Weight

[LEE]

I have been meaning to post this up for ages, but I am trying to lose weight at the moment and am doing really well.

I remember Janette saying how good Slimming World was last year, and one of my Devotees friends also said how good they were, so I decided to give them a try.

I went to my first meeting about 6 weeks ago and weighed in at 13st 3lbs :bawling:

I am now 12st exactly - 1st 3lbs in 6 weeks is not bad going :thumbs: I'm really pleased.

I still have a way to go as I would like to get back down to about 10 and a half, which is what I used to be, so am aiming to lose 3 stone in total.

I went public with this on Devotees several weeks ago and everyone is supporting me and giving me incentive to carry on.

I already feel so much better and more confident in my appearance and am so glad I started doing this.

I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing. Please nag me if I don't, and please tell me off if you think I'm slipping in my resolve.

I'm determined to do this. :hugesmile:

[Mairi]

Aww, bless your little cotton socks, LEE. Of course I wish you well and I have every confidence in you reaching your target weight.

Oh, and one of the best things about losing weight is that you get to buy a whole new wardrobe!!

LEE, if I can do it then you can too!


I managed to lose 3 stone in about 8 months. It was really easy and I felt so much better!


Since stopping smoking I've put a stone back on so I'm back on the diet now.


I'm going to haveto stick to it now or you're going to beat me to super slim!!!!!!

I'm starting to lose all the pounds i have put on over the years and i feel so good about myself. I started going to slimming world when i was 12 and it worked really well to start with but then i just started putting it all back on. I have tried everysingle diet that there is out there and none have worked - untill now! I call it the plain and simple diet!

Good Breakfast
Good Lunch +
Good Dinner
(with not much imbetween!)

Drink lots of water eat lots of fruit and most importantly lots of exercise!

I have around three stone or more to lose but i don't have any scales so i'm going to get some when i next get paid! but frightened might turn into Bridget Jones obbsessionist!

Good Luck Lee i'm right here with you I'm aiming to lose it before i start uni in september!
Let's keep each other posted xxxxxxxxxxx

[BusyBee]

I was being really good at the end of last year and lost a stone, but then when I did my back in and had an enforced period of 'laziness' as OH puts it I put it all back on again, but I SHALL LOSE IT, I am unanimous in that.

Started again last week following holiday in Cornwall and lost 4lbs so must keep going.

Best of luck to everyone else.

WE CAN DO IT, WE ARE MADE OF STERN STUFF US TIBBers.:elephant::elephant::elephant:

[Kaz]

Well done, LEE! :hello:

Good Luck with it, hope it goes okay. :dance:

:spin:

[Kaz]

How did you get on then, LEE? :conf:

We're all waiting for your weekly update!

:wavey:

[kaphc]

LEE is still going in the right direction with her weight loss!

I can vouch for the fact that the difference is already noticeable - keep going LEE!

:hello::hello::hello:

[BusyBee]

Well done LEE - we are behind you.:thumbs:

[LEE]

Only lost a pound this week. Still I must admit that it was better than I thought I had done cos I had been a bit naughty and eaten stuff I shouldn't have and probably drunk too much as well :blush:

This week is going to be a nightmare as I have my mad friends Mary and Jet staying and we are doing some serious partying with a certain Mr Hadley, so I am not looking forward to the next weigh-in lol.

I have warned my Slimming World consultant though and she said, and I quote.. 'Go for it, but just make sure you do something really scandalous to make it all worthwhile' :hugesmile:

So in other words - it's all her fault. :laugh:

[Amy]

Your still doing well LEE :thumbs: :hello:
Go out tomorrow and really enjoy yourself :thumbs: i'm sure you'll be very much like this http://www.smilies.org/basesmilies3/1044707116.gif

[Di2001]

Amy, I love your little smilie!!

A few years ago I was an avid gym addict and used to go and work out every day. It was when other commitments took over and I stopped going that I put all my weight on.

I can't afford gym membership at the mo, though I really wish I could, but I do try to exercise a reasonalble amount. I have an exercise bike which I go on in the mornings and I always try to walk places etc...

All in all, I'm ot too bad. :thumbs:

[Boris]

A pound down is better thatn a pound up by 2.....Keep it up my dear.

By the way did you get my Pic ?:wavey:

Well keep it up honey! And try running up and down the stairs (but carefully!)

[LEE]

By the way did you get my Pic ?
No Boris I didn't :bawling:

Send it to me again at lee@thisisbigbrother.com and I will post it up for you. :thumbs:

[milly]

!!!well done lee:thumbs:,i could do with losing a bit of weight myself,but i've just got no willpower:blush:but i won't give up,i'll start again on monday lol...

[Kaz]

Moment of truth time again, LEE! You didn't think I'd let you forget, did you? :laugh:

Did you manage to fit your weekly weigh-in at Slimming World into your hectic social schedule? If so, come on . . . . . spill the beans . . . . . .

:love: :thumbs:

[LEE]

No Kaz, Slimming World didn't fit into the schedule this week :blush: however I was brave enough to weigh myself this morning :shocked:

Now I don't know how I have managed to do this cos you really DO NOT want to know how much alcohol I have drunk this week, but I have lost another pound :dance:

...and where was I at 7pm last night when I should have been weighing in? I was sitting having a drink and waiting for Tone to turn up, in the same pub that he was filmed in on that clip that they showed on the Reborn final :thumbs:

[herindoors]

Well done lee all these pounds soon add up. you've done really well to lose some every week some times you get weeks where you stick to the same as the week before and it makes you feel down but if you get any weeks like that dont worry it makes you even more determind to do better the next week.Although looking at your photos last week it doesent look like you have got any weight to lose.

[Kaz]

Congratulations, LEE. Another pound in the right direction. :hello:

A 'liquid' diet obviously agrees with you!

Keep up the good work - as herindoors said, your recent photos showed that all your efforts are definitely paying off. :thumbs:

[kaphc]

Well done LEE!! Keep going as you are doing really well.

Sounds like you had more illustrious company in the pub this week rather than last thursday??!!!:dance:

[Stu xxx]

A pound is better than either putting on staying the same xx Do you use electronic scales????

[Amy]

Well done LEE :thumbs: :hello: Your doing really well :thumbs: :hello:

[James]

Keep up the good work! :thumbs:

Nice bit of name-dropping too. :hugesmile:

:hugesmile:

[LEE]

I have just got back from my Slimming World meeting after missing the last 2 weeks.

I am still in a state of shock, because after my 2 weeks of partying, excesses of alcohol, and eating all sorts of things I shouldn't, I have managed to lose 3.5lbs :shocked:

I had been dreading it, I was convinced I would have put on weight and I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scales and she said how much I had lost.

I think I must have just been running on adrenalin for 2 weeks and it has counteracted everything else lol :thumbs:

I would recommend the Tony Hadley diet to anyone lol :laugh:

[Kaz]

Well done, LEE! :hello:

That sounds exactly the sort of diet I'd enjoy and stick to - eat what you like, drink to excess, and follow a popstar all over the country for two weeks! What a toughie! :laugh:

Good on ya - keep it up! :thumbs:

[Amy]

WELL DONE LEE :thumbs:

[Mairi]

Congratulations, LEE. I'm proud of you.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

But fast and furious burns off the calories!!!!!!!


:laugh:

[herindoors]

Well done Lee:hello: You are doing so well.:dance::dance:

[Maggie]

WELL DONE LEE :hello: :hello: :hello:


YOUR LOOKING GREAT :thumbs:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Lee, you are putting me to shame.

The Tony Hadley diet eh? Maybe he should market it......:laugh:

[kaphc]

Must have been all the boogieing (is that a word?) LEE!

Well done - keep going!!

[helxx]

Well Done Lee! You're doing great! I started (again) my diet last Monday. I've stuck to it really well and have lost 5lbs!!!! I'm well chuffed although I know the weight loss will slow down next week. What I'm even more amazed with is that I've lost 2ins off the top of my thigh! Where does it all go? It baffles me! :xyxwave:

[LEE]

Well somehow I managed to lose 1.5lbs this week.

I suppose I haven't been too bad this week, but I have been finding it quiet difficult to get back into it again after my few weeks off of partying and excess. My will power seems to have gone.

I want to lose at least another stone so I am relying on you guys to nag me.

:flower:

[Janette]

Due to stopping smoking, I've managed to pile on 2 stone in three months!

I'm now officially back on my diet, so please send some nags my way too?

:bawling:

[Kaz]

Well done, LEE - still heading in the right direction. :hello:

Keep it up - just focus (I can't use that word now without thinking of Fash! :laugh:) on the number of pounds you've lost increasing, as the number of pounds you still have to lose gets ever smaller!

And Janette - you've done it once, you can do it again! :thumbs:

To you both: nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag . . . . is that enough to be getting on with just now? :spin2:

You go, girls! :hello:

[BusyBee]

Suggestion - go and buy yourselves some fantastic clothes two sizes smaller than you are now - I am told it is a great incentive.

Much better than OH making comments such as "I thought you were on a diet - why are you eating your second pudding" when you are out for dinner. OR

"What are you going to do with those clothes you bought the other week if you lose weight"

I am trying, but it is hard and I am afraid I have very little resistance - show me a gooey pudding and I am a push over.

BUT YOU GO GIRLS YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.:thumbs::thumbs:

[rachb]

Can you please add another NAG on the end of those for me:thumbs::thumbs:
Thanks to Janette and Lesley I've started on this aswell,but fear I have more to lose than both of them put together:bawling::bawling::bawling:
I have lost half a stone,so far though so X by about 8:blush::blush:and i might just be slim for summer................2010:bawling::bawling::bawli ng::bawling:
well done you two:thumbs::thumbs:

[Amy]

Keep the good work up all :thumbs:
You all CAN do it!!!

Well done LEE :thumbs:

Its a good idea BusyBee, but as well as this I have a whole wardrobe I'm trying to slim back into.

I'm really pleased though cos the size 16 jeans I was so thrilled to get back into a few weeks ago are already a bit loose, and I tried on the dress I so wanted to wear to go to the Derby in next weekend and it actually fitted lol :thumbs: All I've got to so now is find a hat lol

:flower:

[rachb]

Good Luck for tomorrow LEE:thumbs::thumbs:

:bawling:

Your doing wonderful LEE :hello: :hello: :hello: can't wait to see the new you at the this year's convention :dazzler: :dazzler:

[Princess Pink Pants]

I have to say the best way to lose weight is to have a stomache bug!
I havent been on here all week coz Ive been feeling rubbish but I appear to have lost 10lbs in about 2 weeks!

Almost worth feeling awful, but nor quite!

[LEE]

Well, I've just got back from the weigh in and I have lost 2.5 lbs this week, which is better than I thought considering what I drank after the Bolton gig on Saturday http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/ernaehrung/food-smiley-005.gif

Getting closer to that 2 stone mark :thumbs:

:flower:

[Amy]

Well Done LEE :thumbs: :hello: :thumbs:

Didn't you do well! :laugh:

Many congrats, LEE - you should be really proud of yourself. I think you could even afford to have a wee drink to celebrate. :thumbs:

Here's a few nags to keep you on the right track until next week . . . . . . . . nag . . nag . . nag . . nag . . nag :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Janette]

I've managed to lose 3lb in the 2 weeks I've been back on the diet but I had had alcohol and at least one Chinese meal in that time so I'm happy!


:thumbs:

[Mairi]

It sounds as if you're all doing a sterling job. Congratulations!

:hello:

[BigSister]

Well done to all involved:thumbs:

You are all doing great:hello:

[LEE]

Well the Tony Hadley diet has finally let me down this week, I've just got back from Slimming World and have put on 2lbs :bawling:

I've actually been quite good this week but I think all the previous weeks of excess have finally caught up with me.

I'm determined to lose my 2lbs again this week, even if I have got a gig in Wolverhampton to go to on Saturday.

I will be good. I will be good. I will be good. ***says to herself over and over*** :laugh:

[BusyBee]

A little bit of what you fancy does you good is I think a great adage.

I think to be able to be a successful slimmer you have to cope falling off now and again. Make you all the more determined.

You can do it Lee.:thumbs:

[Janette]

I maintained this week, so I'm determined to be good and try and lose weight in the next week!
