Hi SS

Do you still have access to the scales you were using before? It would be interesting to see what you weighed on them.

Digital scales can be quite tempremental. I can move mine to 3 different places inside a minute and it gives me 3 different weights. But I find the hallway just outside the front room door usually gives a favourable reading! lol

As long as the weight keeps going down, that's the main!

Jean, well done. :-))

I have new scales, so I'm not sure how accurate it is the amount of weight it works out that I've lost.

Start= 11st 2lb
Wk 1= 10st 13lb
Wk 2= 10st 8lb
Wk 3= 10st 8lb
Wk 4= 10st 1lb

According to the new scales I've lost 7lbs this week. However I'm not so sure of this as I don't feel that much thinner. I think it's probably only a couple in reality and the last reading was out.

Either that or I have scales that are designed to make you feel skinny lol.

I'm not sure how to test their accuracy, any ideas?

Liz

I haven't lost anymore since Friday so still 8lbs lost in total.

Good luck to everyone this week

YAY Jax, that's great.

I must admit, I feel skinnier... I swear my bra is looser and so are my trousers.

Today I bought myself some digital scales, they only have lbs or kgs so I'll have to do the conversion into stones or convert all my previous weights into lbs or kgs.

Almost looking forward to the morning weigh in now lol.

My eldest came round for lunch today when she gave me a hug she said" Mum you feel skinnier"

Wooooohooooo it seems to be working lol

nnn

To those who haven't lost, don't get down-hearted, remember it's a new week and take each day as it comes.

To those who are hungry all the time. Try drinking a large glass of water before a meal. If you're still hungry after eating, you really should speak to your doctor. There maybe something going on, if you're on meds it could be a sideaffect.

I liked the snack ideas given, they're a great idea.

I don't weigh in until Monday, thinking of getting some new scales tomorrow as the ones I'm using are older than me. They're accurate but it's hard to tell between one pound and the next so if you lose half a pound you wouldn't tell. Off to argos to look.

Hi Tinky and everyon else
Not lost any this week but not done any exercises because knee is playing up badly can hardly walk and also oh is not in work this week so have been tempted to eat biscuits and sweets because that ids all he seems to do.
Will try harder next week

Thanks Jeanette some good ideas there I have already eaten two carrots, two plums and some go a head biscuits and my cereal this morning!!!!

I'm off to the pub for lunch now with work and I am really going to try and have something healthy!!

Norah rice cakes are very good for you.

Will let you know how I get on at the pub wish me luck

Nikki x x

Just thought those baby snacks , well tiny rice cake with a flavour would be all right for a nibble wouldn't they?
Jeanette like your snacks though esp the beetroot one

Norah

Oh Nikki I like it a lady after my own heart lol! Well I'm going to be really really good today I know it cos I'm off to look after my g/son at his home and they don't have any bisc or fattening stuff around .........though those baby snacks are quite good hmm! oh! no no no can't do that .. can I ?

Hi peeps!

I've lost 1 and a half pounds so far this week (weigh in Monday) but there's still the weekend to go yet. I got myself some new jeans in town the other day so I can't eat too much or I won't get them on tomorrow night! lol

To those that have put weight on this week....don't worry too much about it. We all have bad weeks and it is harder to be good when the weather is so cold and miserable.

Board at work....how about these snack ideas? A handful of carrot sticks dipped in a tablespoon of low fat humus. Or any 2 medium pieces of fruit (such as apple, pear or peach) sliced and topped with 4oz low fat cottage cheese. Or a salad of 1 sliced apple and 100g cooked beetroot topped with2oz of low fat feta or mozzarella.

Very bad, even after i've eaten a huge dinner (enough really to last me a couple of days) i'm looking for something else to eat. I need to find something to fill me up!! I have eaten most of my lunch already today whilst sat at my desk! Help me!!!

Well done Vicky, Rosemary and Norah

I will be a good girl this week ive promised meself! But im shocked I didnt put more on with all the rubbish I ate, the comfort food was nice though lol

Gonna attack me garden now and hope wrestling with me shrubs will help me loose a bit more lol

Oh I know what you mean keep going round the kitchen to see what's there. Think it's a bad habit we have !

PMSL!! I should start taking my own advise!!! I have stopped buying food high in fat and callories, now i just need to cut down on the amount of food I eat. What can i eat to fill myself up cuz I always feel hungry!!!!!!

Right Nikki -- I can hear you loud and clear lol! now that you have shouted I WILL try harder! Every time I open the fridge I shall hear you!
