Nearly at the end of day one and feeling lighter already just knowing I have done something to address my weight

Hi, well done you for getting going. I think the rewards for feeling better do kick in straight away and that's great. Enjoy the week and best of luck.

Started today as well! feeling a bit daunted at the prospect but looking forward to the rewards. Good luck with the rest of the week!

[Happybanana in reply to Vics999]

hi Vics999 good to get your reply. day three today and hope you are feeling less daunted and more comfortable ?

[Vics999 in reply to Happybanana]

Hi Happybanana, End of day 4 now. Had an injury so haven't been able to exercise as much as I would have liked but the diet is going well and does seem less daunting! How are you finding it?

[Happybanana in reply to Vics999]

Sorry to hear you had injury, hope you are on the mend now. I am amazed how much I am eating now I am calorie counting. Am choosing low calorie stuff but not even using up the full 1400 allotted to females. cannot believe I will loose weight, but let's see what the scales show on Monday !

[Vics999 in reply to Happybanana]

I am very impressed! I find it quite hard to stick to the limit but hoping my body will get used to it. Any tips? Bought new scales today which should help me to keep on track. Good Luck, I hope you see an improvement on Monday. Let me know!

[Happybanana in reply to Vics999]

Hi vics999 . Have just weighed myself at end of week two, and have lost 3 lbs. Not huge amount but am pleased to have lost anything at all. You said you have an injury ? How are you following that ? I tore something in my hip last week so can no longer excercise or work at the moment so that may slow weight loss .

have the new scales been kind to you , as you also end week two on the diet ? !

Me too, I feel I am finally back on the road to health.

Have a fantastic day 2.

[Happybanana in reply to Jo4950]

How is it going , jo4750. ? It's day 3 today for us . Hope it's a good one for you !

[Dave1961 25kg]

Congratulations - I am at day 3 and yes it DOES feel great to be doing something about it instead of just sitting on the sofa thinking about it

[Happybanana in reply to Dave1961]

hi Dave1961, how is it going. We started the same day, so have reached the end of week two. I have lost 3 lb in all, and am chuffed with this. Not a lot on the scales I know, but measuring my waist quite surprising to find I have lost a whole inch !

Bit of an internet blip on day 3 so not able to post. Had a good day 3 hope you did too. I was tempted whilst watching Great British bake Off but had a cup of tea without the biscuits !!!!!!! that was hard but really want this weight to go so had to give up some of my ridiculous habits.

Day 4 and I've had a nice walk with my music I probably looked pretty odd jiggling along to music but hey I felt good when I got back home.

Looking forward to day 5 hope you are too

[Happybanana in reply to Jo4950]

Hi Jo4950 . We have reached the end of week two. I have lost 3 lb in all. how about you ?

yes, Bake off is wonderful but SUCH a temptation isn't it. I found myself craving a biscuit but did not give in to the temptation till the next day. it's difficult to resist when my partner keeps biscuits in the house( but I really should be strong enough to keep my hands out of the biscuit tin)

Hi Happybanana, well done that's brilliant, just weighed myself and 4.5 lbs gone so that takes me into double figures. Woohoo we are on a roll.

I never used to really care about biscuits, I'm a crisp fiend, but recently they just keep calling me!!!!!!!!!. Apart from a homemade biccie made by my nephew yesterday, he will be my bake off hero one day!!!!!!! I have stayed away from the dreaded biscuits.

Hope you have a fab week.
