Please Join Me for a Weigh-in (Monday 13th January 2014).

[Zest]

Hi everyone,

Last week I weighed 14 stone 5.4 pounds, and this morning I weigh 14 stone 2.4 pounds, so I am pleased to report that I've lost 3 pounds this week! I am very happy!!! I still haven't been back to the gym, but I have managed to do a walk most days, and I've been careful not to overeat - and wherever possible I've eaten healthy foods.

My goal for this week is to lose between 1 to 2 pounds, because I suspect it will be harder to lose anything after losing 3 pounds in one go. To be honest, any weight-loss will make me happy, as it will be in the right direction. I also hope to have visited the gym at least once next week.

Hope you have all had a good week, and hope you will join me for a Monday weigh-in.

Good luck with this week!

Well done low cal.

1st time in two months I have watched my calories, I need to get back into my weight loss journey,

I done 20 minutes dance once this past week, kept to the 1400 cal daily. Did binge on carrot sticks and had a few chocolate biscuits in the middle off the night.

I am very happy with my 5lb loss for the 1st week, my Christmas binge gain has gone. sure it will slow down now to 1/2lb a week. I have 4 more pounds to loss to be back where I was last year. I hope to lose that with in the next two weeks.

Good luck everyone and well done for sticking to it.

Hi xSallyx,

Congratulations on your really good weight loss for this week. That's amazing. Losing your Christmas binge gain is satisfying! I laughed when you commented that you'd 'binged on carrot sticks' in the middle of the night though - carrot sticks seem an unlikely binge food!

Have a great week.

Hi lowcal

The carrot sticks was a day thing, when you don't need food but your mind tells you you need to eat, it was a day when I wanted to eat and eat. I kept to the healthy foods. I Should of made my post clearer, the biscuits was in the middle of the night.

Hi Prin,

Well done! You are doing great! I am impressed by your Marathon prep - 10 miles on Sunday is really good.

Hope you enjoy your 2 meals out this week, and that you achieve your goal to maintain.

Really well done on the half marathon prep - i am v impressed.

Congratulations lowcal making a good start to the new year I see!

I gained about 1-2kg over the holidays, but have got back at the calorie counting this week. My weight this morning was 64.4kg. Still a bit higher than before the holidays but I'm sure that will shift in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Albionjen,

Well done on getting back to the calorie counting, and you are making good progress with getting rid of the holiday excesses. That's great.

You sound positive about the New Year, and I think that's half the battle when it comes to motivating and moving forward.

Have a good week.

ok - scores on the door - 1.25 pounds lost. That is ok - had a mediocre week in terms of eating - but clearly something going in the right direction.

Well done on your 3 pound loss.

catch up next week

[Prin in reply to suzybenj]

Well done Suzy, I am finding it hard running and balancing it against eating, and I only have half your distance to go!

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to suzybenj]

Hi Suzybenj,

Well done on your 1.25 pounds lost.

I hope you have another good week.

Well done Lowcal, what a result!! Keep going this week. I've not changed from last week...but feeling positive that I can make a shift this next week

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to supasister1]

Hi Supasister1,

Thank you.

Well done for not gaining, and it sounds like you're feeling positive, and I"m sure that will pay off.

Have a great week.

Well done, 3lbs is brilliant.

I started the week well despite having a virus that meant I didn't want to walk, have just got back from a few days away when healthy eating was not a priority. I had a high calorie coffee based ice drink with cream today from a well known brand and found it far too sweet, so that's progress.

My clothes are tighter and I am breathing more heavily (although virus won't be helping). I am not going to weigh myself until next week and concentrate on getting back on track. I do seem to be in a cycle of eating too much, losing most of the gain quickly, then eating too much.

So this week I will sort my head out, Again!

Good luck all.

[Prin in reply to bispers]

Weigh in Bispers if you are anything like me not weighing is denial I remember when I came back from a girls weekend with 4 extra pounds and not the ones you put in your purse either!

[bispers in reply to Prin]

Ok Prin, you do a great job getting me to do what I don't want to face, so thank you, I appreciate it. X

Plus 7lbs. Thinking about it, my unthinking eating started Wednesday not Saturday so was longer than I thought.

Still a way to go to get sorted, I know what I be doing, I just need to do it for around 95% of the time not either 100% or 0%. I'll allow my 5% for when life gets in the way.

[Prin in reply to bispers]

you see, you are back on track well done

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to bispers]

Hi Bispers,

Sorry to hear you've had a virus, and I hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like you've got a good plan, and I"m sure that once your virus leaves you alone, you'll be getting rid of the excess pounds.

Hope you have a good week.
