Weigh in - Week 1

[Babykcal]

I've bought myself a set of WW glass scales which comes with a free pedometer! I use the pedometer daily to track how many calories I lose from walking alone..

I can see everyone feels doing weigh in's are really helpful so here is mine!

Weight: 10st 2 1/2lb

Height: 5ft 3.7inc

Body Fat: 25.6%

BMI: 25.3

You should really go for it, it'll help you to track your progess more effectively and it's giving me something to look forward to in a weeks time !

Thanks so much, good luck

[munchie99 in reply to Babykcal]

Good luck too! Maybe we could encourage each other

[Babykcal in reply to munchie99]

Definitely! i'm sure it would keep us both motivated!

Sounds good. Where did you buy them from ?

[Babykcal in reply to Pixey3]

Hey! I bought them from argos, they only cost me 35GBP but they are really good! I would definitely reccommend them

Thanks. Your readings are good. I've stopped weight watchers as seeing the dietician next month but in the mean time am trying to calorie and fat count. Worse time for me is the evening after supper...I snack on nibbles then watch t.v. /read and go to sleep. Have to break the habit! Only got half a stone to lose to be in the healthy BMI but I'm yo-yoing... lost a stone last year at W.W. but put it back on again in five months and been struggling since. Exercise for me is regular walking mostly, stationary bike and swim occasionally. My weight is 10.4 today was 10.1.5 last week. Ht 5' 2.5" Think if I put my weight here weekly it may help?

[Babykcal in reply to Pixey3]

I think calorie counting is a very good idea! It really helps me to keep track of EXACTLY what i'm putting into your mouth.

I have the same problem because I have such a sweet tooth! I try to replace the nibbles with fruit and natural yoghurt, why not give that a go?

Yeah I think you should do weekly weigh-ins, I think its motivated me to lose weight & also a good way to keep a record of it. I can hold you accountable for it weekly

lol. Hold me accountable is a BIG incentive ! So thanks for your help. I like savoury nibbles- oatcakes, pretzels, crisps etc. Best not to give in I think, or reduce the amount. Chat soon.
