Weigh-in TUESDAY 7th March 2017

Hello Tuesday Trimmers!

Please reply to this post on TUESDAY to join the weigh-in. Thank you

The first Tuesday Weigh-in of Spring! Everything's growing except, hopefully, us!

We hope that you've all had a good week and are pleased with the results on the scales. If this isn't the case, don't get despondent, weight loss isn't linear and we're all human. Think of where things may have slipped a little. If you're convinced that you've had a squeaky clean week, then take out the tape measure and see if you've lost inches instead. If that fails to satisfy too, then look back to the beginning of your journey and be proud of how far you've come. Progress may be slow, but if you keep the faith and stick to plan, you'll eventually get the results you've been wanting

Our aim today, is to support and encourage, so we ask that everyone responds to at least ONE other member, ideally the person directly ahead of you on the thread. The main aim of this new weigh-in, is to prevent one person being burdened with answering every single post. Of course you can respond to as many posts as you wish, but it should be a minimum of one.

We have also decided to introduce a new stats system, again to reduce the workload of one person having to produce a spreadsheet every week. If you could now state your weight today, how much weight you've lost/gained/maintained this week and your goals for the week ahead. Other than that, feel free to share any details of your week that you like.

NEWBIES

If you're joining this weigh-in group for the first time today, then please introduce yourself and share your starting weight (if you feel comfortable doing so) and your initial weight loss goals. Setting yourself mini-goals, leading to your ultimate weight loss goal, is particularly helpful. You could also make a note of your body measurements. Sometimes the scales stick at a particular weight, but there can be body measurement changes which are very motivating. It’s not all about the scales after all – it’s how you feel in yourself.

If you’ve not already seen it, then take a moment to read the ‘Welcome Newbie’ pack, which is a Pinned post (situated on the right hand side of the homepage, or scroll right down to the bottom, if you're using a mobile).

MY WEIGH-IN

I'm posting this now on Monday evening, but I’ll weigh in with everyone else on Tuesday morning. Tuesday is my husbands birthday and we’ve already had rather a cake-fuelled party weekend! This evening we will have a family meal at home, so I shall carefully chose something which he loves and that I can enjoy without worrying! I’m not sure quite what yet, though I find meals where all the components are separate (like a Sunday roast) are easy to manage. Ideas welcome!

STATS from Tuesday 28th February

Total number weighing in - 28

Total number of replies - 234

Average number of replies - 8.35

Total amount of weight lost - 37.02lbs / 16.79kgs

Total amount of weight gained - 6.04lbs / 2.73kgs

Total number who maintained - 5

Newbies/Restarts - 5

Average weight lost - 1.14lbs / 0.51kgs

Number of members who did not disclose their weight - 0

Please only use this thread if you're weighing on Tuesday 7th March.

Onwards and downwards!

Good morning. Beautiful sunrise today. When I began this journey on 5th January I weighted 17st 12lb. Last week I was 16st 13 lb ... today I am 16st 11lb having lost 2lb in the last week. Please could I have a 1 stone loss badge? I still have a Long way left to go but slowly getting there by calorie counting and increasing daily steps. It is working 😀 Hope it's been a good week for fellow Tuesday trimmers and best wishes for the coming week.

I'm just calling by at my usual time slot to say hello and wish everyone a good week, and hopefully share in people's successes. I won't be weighing in this morning. It was my husbands birthday on Sunday, and we are in a holiday cottage for a few days. I did toy with packing my bathroom scales...but thought that was a bit obsessive, so left them back at home.

I've done tons of walking....most days in excess of 20,000 steps, but my downfall has been the cake, the wine, the pub meals, the puddings. Maybe it's just as well there are no scales here.....I'm going to have to go some by next Tuesday to reign myself back in.

Good luck to everyone else, and btw the Forest of Dean is beautiful.!!!

Hi Bertieboy I am sure you will be joining us next week with a surprising loss seeing that you are doing double the steps. Enjoy the birthday with hubby and your holiday together. Life is there for the living and to be happy

Sounds like you are having a lovely time away Bertieboy and the walking must be wonderful. I have only visited the Forest of Dean once, but I do remember it as being one of the most beautiful areas of woodland in the UK.

Enjoy! After all, you know those scales will still be there when you get back!

Happy birthday to Mr B. I bet you will have worked off your calories with all that walking. I'm going to spain on sunday for a week and have been in a bit of a conundrum myself. There is a spa there so could weigh myself (probably will) but I'm NOT counting calories. I AM having a week off. Gonna indulge. Yippee. :D

Morning! A very, very surprising 2lb loss though I have been on track with MFP and support on here. (Without being too personal, it is a regular, water retaining, hormonal week 🙄) thus the joy of any loss at all! Good luck to all my fellow Trimmers.

Way to go Josie!

Lovely picture Jiminy. I didn't weigh in last week as I was away. It took me a while to get back on track, so I am pleased with a small loss this week.

Two weeks ago 9st 11.0lb, today 9st 10.6lb. (0.4lb loss). Very happy with that and will be happy if I lose 1lb next week.

Have a good week everyone 😊

Dietbunny27lbs in reply to

Well, Hidden it may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but firstly, that is very nearly half a pound, and secondly, it is in the right direction, which is fantastic and thirdly, it shows you managed your time away well too - very encouraging I'd say!

Have a good week yourself 😊

in reply to Dietbunny2

Thanks

Dietbunny. I found it really hard to get back on track after being away, but a loss helps motivate!

Morning Tuesday Trimmers. I've stayed the same this week, at 10 stone 11lbs. That's OK, parties and pancakes are to blame.

Excuses aside, my average weight loss over the past 6 weeks has been 1/2 lb a week, so its all rather slow at the moment. I don't want to eat less as 1400 cals feels about right for me. So, more exercise. I am basically a slob so it shouldn't be hard, as anything will be more than none!

I have been out on my bike twice in the last 2 days, after about 6 months of not using it, so I'm hoping that ditching the car will be my solution. To help me learn better habits I have started leaving my bike in the hall so its constantly in my face. Although the rest of the family are less impressed with this genius plan.

Good luck to all for the coming week.

LinaLamont profile image
LinaLamont3lbs in reply to JiminyCricket

that's very good for a week of pancakes and parties! (Which sound amazing!) and your bit about the bike made me laugh :) well done!

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to JiminyCricket

Thanks so much for posting today's weigh-in, JC and congratulations for managing to maintain, even after parties and pancakes! There must have been some serious willpower going on! :)

Have fun on that bike of yours :)

Bertieboy profile image
Bertieboy in reply to JiminyCricket

Good luck with the cycling JiminyCricket , and I think the hall way is an excellent place for the bike !! Yesterday, I dragged my long suffering husband, and weary fox terrier Bertie around the 10 mile family friendly cycle route in the Forest of Dean, it was great fun, ...but then so was the pub lunch I scoffed afterwards. Good luck for the coming week.

JiminyCricket profile image
JiminyCricket7lbs in reply to Bertieboy

Oh that sounds lovely!! I think you earned your pub lunch!

Weight-be-gone profile image
Weight-be-gone in reply to JiminyCricket

Maintaining after pancakes, party and cake is an achievement in itself JiminyCricket . I would be very proud if I were you, and after today you can re-focus (be cake free) again. One of my children has a birthday today too, so there may be a slither of cake later but thankfully no alcohol as she's only 9! Have a great week :)

Hi STS is almost expected from me now lol and you have done brilliantly to do that with the cake, wine etc.

I just want to say thanks for the allotment talk you are inspiring me to either enquire about one locally or dig up some of my grassed areas albeit a modest amount.

You're not the only one JiminyCricket . I stayed the same too this week. So I feel your pain. But I'm not unduly worried either. Can't say whether or not I will lose next week as I'm off on my hols so not dieting for me for a week. Gonna try and get in lots of exercise tho. :D good luck for next week.

I think I'll feel a bit confused when I do achieve it - so I've got to formulate an action plan! But thanks for your kind words :) xxx

Looks like your onions are doing well, and with regard to your special meal, if you would be interested in a really delicious nut roast, JiminyCricket I found this recipe and tried it out last week after having Googled for a few alternatives - it includes three parsnips as well as mushrooms and we loved it, served as you say, with separate components and a tomato sauce (actually I cheated with M&S cream of tomato soup!): delishably.com/special-diet....

The breadcrumbs can be any loaf you have of course and I used the remainder of a seedy loaf I had to hand. I'm afraid I can't speak for the calorie value as I don't strictly count, but perhaps you have an app that could help with that.

JiminyCricket profile image
JiminyCricket7lbs in reply to Dietbunny2

Thank you Dietbunny2 that looks lovely. I think I might have to save the recipe for another day though - I asked hubbie what he wants for his birthday dinner, and he said steak, chips and onion rings!!!!!!! Guess who's NOT on a diet! I'm going to put a big bowl of salad on the table too, and I'll have tuna steak. Luckily I dont like steak!

Dietbunny2 profile image
Dietbunny27lbs in reply to JiminyCricket

I love it - my husband would have said exactly the same! But he did really like the nut roast, so do have a go some time!

Don't give it a second thought Mammou, you've probably shrunk! I was gutted when I realised that I'd shrunk an inch! I hope we don't get any shorter! :D

I don't know if you realise, but you've given me exactly the same stats as you gave last week, so if you're 89.9kg today, that's a maintain for this week :)

Mammou profile image
Mammou in reply to moreless

I have changed my goal weight after find out, yes you are reading correctly:) that I had my length incorrect. After living with myself for 65 years I did not know how tall I was:D This of course influences my Weight-TO-SHIFT! Oh dear, but what the heck….. in for a penny, in for a pound(kilos in my case) It seems like a lot, but I have a year to get to my goal of wearing that PRETTY DRESS again! In the meantime I have two bike trips planned that I hope will help me get to my goal.

Starting Weight: 91.0Kg

Weight Today: 88.9Kg

Weight lost this week: 1Kg

End Goal: 67.0Kg

Weight lost to date 2.1Kg

Weight to shift: 24.0Kg

(Still to go 21.9)

Goal for Week: 1Kg

Weight-be-gone in reply to Mammou

Go girl! Mammou you are doing great. Almost halfway to your first mini target!

Whilst you have lost height - I have gained an inch! Now that I'm not carrying so much weight, my hips are less painful and I can stand up straighter. Making me now 5' 3" - I was shocked when the nurse told me, I thought I only grow one way nowadays ;)

Mammou profile image
Mammou in reply to Weight-be-gone

There you go then Weight-be-gone you gained on the one hand but lost a lot on the other....... I think this time round your loss is your gain:D Perhaps when I have lost all of mine, I will also gain back the loss in height.... one can only but hope:) I am in awe of your 20Kg loss

Have a great week

I love hearing about your bike trips - so whats the second one?

Mammou profile image
Mammou in reply to JiminyCricket

Hi JiminyCricket , I started late in life cycling, actually my daughter had to teach her mommy to cycle when I was late 50's. Not being so relaxed on single bike, I then joined hubby on the back of a tandem. In 2015 we did the "turnleft tour" going out our gate, turning left and cycling to Assissi in Italy. Last year we turned out our gate on our "boxofchocolates" tour and did a 5 week stint thru France. This year we are planning to go out the gate and cycle thru Northern Netherlands, down the Elbe River in Germany ending in Prague. This will be approximately 6 weeks of cycling for us. We normally write a blog so if you are interested this is the addresses, if you need light entertainment re two oldies on a bike made for two:) The first blog was on crazyguyonabike.com/turnleft and the second was crazyguyonabike.com/boxofch...

JiminyCricket profile image
JiminyCricket7lbs in reply to Mammou

Thats great! I'll watch out for your blog! Our family did 3 years of similar, though much smaller scale and within the UK - each hol was 8 days, with our 2 children (one cycling one in a carrier), and camping each night. We stopped when our 4 year old demanded to cycle herself and we realised that we would only do about 3 miles a day if lucky!!! She's 9 now though so we could get back to it, though have switched our allegiance to hiking in the interim! Maybe your blog will inspire us - we have always talked about cycling in france and have heard the Greenways are amazing

Wow! That's amazing Mammou. I would love to do something like that! Just looked at your chocolate box Tour, pictures of the Ardeche. Brings back fabulous memories of camping there with our kids 25 years ago!

Mammou profile image
Mammou in reply to

Ahh Hidden it was a wonderful trip even though we were there when they had there floods. The Ardeche is stunning! The "turnleft" tour was our first tour of this kind ever and we were very nervous that we would not make it. Some hills we had to walk, that is what we called our Granpa gear, the one when grannygear is not enough:D As we say we have not met a hill that we cannot walk:) And I can promise you we did walk a few and a few we used some choice words to help us to get to the top hehehe We still thinkback with fond memories of the "turnleft" tour even though it is now a few years in the past. Hope this year will be bring along the same joy. I will tell you when we go what we are calling this year's tour so that you can perhaps follow us along

Have a good week

Morning all - I'm weighing in at 12 st 2 lb this week - woohoo! I haven't been this weight for absolutely years so although I set myself the goal of 2 lb this week and this is only 1 lb, I am more than happy.

On that basis, it will be another three weeks before I dip below 12 st, but that's ok - I will be so proud of myself then!

Of course, I did succumb to pancakes in the end, round at my daughter's on Friday - we always had crepes when they were kids, and so I thought I would introduce her and her partner to drop scones, or Scotch Pancakes, which my mother used to make. So we had 6 each (partner had 4)! I did restrict myself to jam only, no butter, and certainly no clotted cream, which she had provided. And I managed to throw away the leftovers, so all round, not too bad. (Boy, were they good!)

JiminyCricket profile image

Well done you! Especially with 6 drop scones in the equation!!! They are so yummy, we used to have them as kids too. 6 isn't as bad as it sounds, they are quite small!

Hello. Last week 11st 12.75lbs. Today 11st 12lbs. Lost 0.75.

Gosh it has taken weeks to lose such a little amount, but I have noticed my belt has moved in one notch!!

Onwards and inwards!😆

Happy sunny Tuesday, hope we all have a good week.

So it's not all about the scales another notch smaller is brill and .75 is not to be unhappy about maybe something is starting to move for you now if so let me know what you have changed😊👍

Roset16 profile image
Roset16 in reply to Itsbab

The main difference in the past week has been

1.going back to writing things down. I am 26 weeks into being with this forum and I had got a bit complacent.

2. Plenty of homemade lentil soup and split pea soup to start meals or for lunch. Filling and tasty.

😊😆😀

Onwards and inwards! I love it!! Well done you

Gooood morning all.

Well done to everyone and their progress thus far, we will be happier versions of ourselves in no times!

Okay, so I had a slight panic the other day, at the realisation it will soon be getting into warmer weather, which will ultimately mean cooler, more revealing clothes…! I definitely do not want to be where I was last summer, still rocking around in leggings and cardigans because of body hatred and horrendous thigh chafing (downside to having thicker thighs and no thigh gap…) I will make sure I am a smaller version of myself this summer, so I can saunter around in shorts with no cares – except perhaps bruises, I bruise like a peach – and perhaps be able to find my size in a shop! Though I imagine that when I do get to a size 12, they will all be gone, as they are at the size I am now… Would just be my luck haha.

Anyway, so my week. I am now finally able to eat again!! I have taken advantage of this fact, though I’ve made sure not to go too overboard with things, but I have been enjoying myself.

Weight last week: 191lbs

Weight this week: 190.5lbs

So .5lbs off this week, chuffed with that. Also feels so good to be in the 13 stone range. This is literally the lightest I have been in years!!! Can only go one way from here!!

My goal for the whole month is to lose 4lbs, so I’m really hoping I can meet or beat that. So we shall see on the 27.03!

That takes my total weight loss up to 17.5lbs now, since Nov – downside to starting before Christmas is the Christmas gain!

I’ve also caught up with my £ for a lb jar, so I now have £25 in there, all ready to be built up for a summer clothes shop!!

Good luck for the week ahead people!

Yay!! Well done loss is brill, 👍 Why not get a pair of size 14's shorts keep them in view and have a once a month try on as an incentive to keep on track. I cheated a little and borrowed my daughters size 16 jacket ( shhh she doesn't know) I kept trying it on and now I can borrow it ( shhh don't tell her!) Good luck for next week. 😊👍

That sounds very satisfying Itsbab !

in reply to Itsbab

Haha, well done! My colleague is now able to borrow her daughter's clothes and is very chuffed with herself!

I currently have size 16 shorts I need to get in to and also size 14. They're both sitting in my drawer - I've measured the waist and thigh, and I check my measurements at the end of each month and see if I can slip them on. I can get my 16s on, but I get severe muffin top... My main goal is a size 14 on bottom, but I'd like to think I'd be able to get down to 12's. It's just a game of perseverance and patience. And whether I like the look of myself in 14s and if I even want to go any smaller.

Unfortunately my friends are like size 10s and 6s, so I've got no hope of ever borrowing clothes from them!! XD

Hi, first time here. I started at 12 stone 7lb and lost 9lb in 3 weeks on Slimming World. Gained half a pound this week so will try to lose 2lb this week. My goal is 11 stone but I'll be very happy to reach 11.7.

food_lover profile image
food_lover in reply to Xzbv

9lb is loads, don't worry about half pound gain as your body is probably getting used to its new weight and will fluctuate a bit. Any lessons from slimming world that have helped you get those results? My mother used to do slimming world and has a funny saying her leader used to say "in the basket, in the belly". An obvious one but it reminds me to leave the junk food out of my shopping basket during my weekly shop!

Xzbv profile image
Xzbv in reply to food_lover

I'm not too keen on veg but 2 things I cooked recently were lentil and chickpea curry with cauliflower rice instead of basmati, and cottage pie made with potato and swede mash instead of just potato. Although unlimited potatoes and rice are allowed on SLimming World you also have to fill your plate with one third "speed foods" which are fruit and vegetables.

Hi and welcome to the Tuesday weigh-in, Xzbv :)

You're off to a flying start, well done you! :)

Shall we take your starting weight with us as 11st 12.5lbs? :)

You'll be needing a 7lb weight loss badge too, congratulations! :)

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Was 9st 8 last week and am 9st 7.5 today, happy with that as j wasn't particularly hard working on the healthy eating/exercise front last week....doughnuts and alcohol featured I have to admit, but a little bit of running must have cancelled out the naughtiness! Phew! I have our wedding menu tasting this Thursday eve (we are being greedy and trying loads of options so the amount of food will be ridiculous). I then have a friends wedding on Friday and the after party sat night. Will pack my running gear and look to get out for a jog Saturday and hopefully a hike on sunday too. Goal next week is 9 stone 7. But to be honest I would take a maintain. We've got to live as well! Hoping everyone is pleased with results and has a fab week.

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to food_lover

Hi food_lover, you were 9st 8lbs a fortnight ago, which gives you an average weight loss of 0,25lbs, which is fantastic, considering the doughnuts and alcohol! Well done you! :D

Enjoy all that food tasting and your friend's wedding, let's hope the jogging and hiking will sort out any extra calories :)

Have a great week :)

Itsbab in reply to food_lover

Hi all, well I got on the scales this morning and felt like I had lost something👍 guess what blinking 13.2 still 😡 so no weight loss for me this week arrrrr!!!!!! Had 2 x pancakes but stayed on track so I know it's exercise I need to up now. Few problems at home hubbys job, hubbys health, and although I would usually pig out I am being good.😇

Hope to loose 1lb in the next 2 weeks ( going to fortnightly weigh ins) then I can collect my 4 stone badge eventually lol

Suns out so have a brilliant day everyone🌞

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Itsbab

Don't you worry, Bev, the losses may be slow, but they're still there, as your almost 4st badge proves! :)

I hope that things work themselves out for your hubby and, don't forget, even though you haven't been comfort eating, stress plays havoc with weight loss!

Wishing you a fab fortnight! :)

Itsbab profile image
Itsbab in reply to moreless

Thanks Moorless it's the stress I can do without😥

You know the fight and flight issue? I am usually a fighter but quite honestly l feel like flying away for time on my own, no problems, no worries, just me time. Oh well rant over must get something done now and hopefully claim that badge in 2 weeks time. Enjoy your day hope the suns out for you too. 🌞

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Itsbab

I can certainly relate to that Bev. It's important to factor "me" time into your life, in whatever way possible!

The sun's shining beautifully here, too. I feel a walk coming on :)

I'll keep everything crossed for that badge! :)

JiminyCricket profile image
JiminyCricket7lbs in reply to Itsbab

Oh frustrating! I really feel for you. But the main thing is that you are still here, still going, still accountable. And it WILL pay off. What are you going to do for more exercise? It will probably help with stress too, to get outside, be on your own and switch off.

Itsbab profile image
Itsbab in reply to JiminyCricket

Bought myself swimsuit a couple of weeks ago so I think I may go down early morning 7am and see if it's busy. I called in to ask yesterday and the receptionist said it is usually but I guess it's just casual swimmers no messing about people jumping diving etc. When I mentioned to hubby what I was doing he said I will come too even though he has been told it would be good for his MS but done nothing about it. Just annoying that there's no me only time but there will be I will make certain of that lol. Enjoy the rest of your day💐

JiminyCricket profile image
JiminyCricket7lbs in reply to Itsbab

That is nice and annoying at the same time!! Maybe you'll find gardening is good for time on your own. Works for me. And apparently having your hands in the soil is good for stress - friendly microbes or something, I can't remember the details.

Oh you make it sound even more interesting. Going to have a look at the garden last time I grew stuff I had a little greenhouse but got fed up of replacing the glass when the winds took some panes out.

Thankfully i've finally had another significant loss of 1kg and have hit my goal of being under 10 1/2 stone. To be more exact I'm now 67.9kg, a weight I haven't been since I was 15 yrs old and swam every day. I'm on week 9 of the 12 week plan and have now lost 5kg since 15th Jan so can I please have my badge. I can only hope to maintain this week and won't be weighing in next week as I'm away with my husband. No children for the 1st time since our brief honeymoon over a year ago, so I'm not sure sensible is going to be possible. At least now I know I can get back to that weight so hopefully I'll still be there or lower by the end of my plan.

Hi peeps. Well I'm afraid I stayed the same this morning.

Start weight 11st3

last week 10st3

today 10st3

Thought that might happen as it was a 2lb loss last week and I seemed to have averaged at a 1lb loss per week. Not too worried tho'. However, I won't be on next week for weigh in (I don't think) as we've just booked a last minute holiday to spain. Going on sunday and It will be a Holiday so NO calorie counting or weight watching for me for the week. There will be a lot of walking so hopefully that will counteract some of the damage. There is a spa there and a gym so I might show willing on a couple of days. LOL. I will try to stick to small portions too. Just basic damage limitation really. Going into town today to get our euro's and buy some new clothes and shoes. EEEEEEEK!!!! Getting really excited now. Think I might have to buy a new belt as well because I'm on my tightest notch with no where else to go (another small eek there as this has been my belt for the last 6 yrs) I originally weighed in at 12st13 a few years ago then maintained for a couple of years at around 10st 12. I started this 12 week plan as my weight started to creep up again to 11st3 so you could say this is phase 2 of my weight loss so all in all I've actually lost from my heaviest 2st10. Would love to lose another 1 and 1/2 stone. that would be perfect. Sorry for rambling on guys, just excited for my hols and pleased with myself for how well I'm doing. Good luck peeps on your progress. Onwards and downwards. :D xx
