20 somethings

clearly had a good weekend as ive gained back 3lbs :( lol nevermind i expected more since i had such a crap week, will do this week 100% and see if i can get that 3lb back off!
 
Lost 2lb last week (Wi yday) would love a similar loss this week, going to cheat a little bit this week though as I'm going out saturday night so I'm going to Wi on sat morning instead of Sunday. That way I have a whole week with no nights out planned to lose or maintain. Im not ready for a gain so soon after hols.
 
Hi all. So sorry I have been AWOL for so long have had a bit of a rubbish few weeks with life in general. Including being back at work now and still being in pain with my back just dont know where it's going to end with it all. Im so exhausted every night and works not great at the mo when I get it dunno what to do with myself.

Dieting wise I've had a rethink took a couple of weeks break and me and mum decided for now sw just isn't for us. I love my leader and my group but the diet itself just doesnt fit in with our lifestyles and I became all consumed with it as I found I had to think about it too much it even ended up causing arguments between me and mum. I still think sw is a brilliant diet and works wonderfully when u can make it work for u but it just isn't for us at the mo. so for now we have gone back to ww which is a little easier for both of us to do. I have made fab minimums friends on these boards in the sw section and if u don't mind I would love to still come here and share posts? I promise to start updating more x

I hope your all well and will try and read back over all I've missed. Hope your all having a great bank hol weekend xxx

Of course your welcome here anytime hun we can still celebrate your losses with you, sorry to hear you have had a bit of a crap time lately, im having trouble at work also and with my back so I see where your coming from, hope ww works out well for you and look forward to hearing about your progress
 
@Ch2b - don't worry about the gain, you can just use it to inspire you for this week and you'll have it off again in no time. It's hard to get your head around this so you'll soon have the hang of syns etc and will be looking great for your wedding.

@jo - Of course you can still post here, I am sure no one minds at all and it's good to hear how anyone is getting on wether it's WW or SW. Good luck with it. I have been doing SW for about 10 weeks and I still find it hard and difficult to stick to all of the time even though I try plus it is expensive so I may have to stop going to group and go it alone but with the support on here. It's really good you have the support of your Mum as you're both going through the same thing. I wish I had support from family etc but don't have so I know how much of a difference it can make.

Star it is expensive, thats why I dont go to group, could you cut some out so you go once every 2 or 3 weeks instead of weekly? Then you might keep the motivation to lose enough as you will still have to weigh at group, its not too bad doing it at home especially if you have already had the support of the group and already know what your doing, ive gone in blind lol but the support on here is great

Jo it sucks but I get on with it, they will regret treating me like crap when I suddenly bite back lol
 
Nice to see you again Jo! :)

I lost 4.5lbs this week! Can't believe it! So i've lost 1 stone 10.5lbs in 9 weeks (24.5lbs)! Got my stone and a half award and my club 10 awards! So pleased! Have lost 3 stone 3.5lbs in the 17 and a half weeks since I had Jack! :D

Think the massive trek around Manchester helped with that result, so may try some more walking this week. I cant do the c25k or 30DS as Dr thinks I have gallstones :cry: so got to take it easy. On a positive note I went shopping for a wedding outfit on saturday and it was the first ever shopping trip I haven't felt like crying and actually enjoyed! The only problem is that I found too much stuff that I liked and fit me (tried on 9 dresses!) and ended up buying TWO dresses in a size 16!!! This losing weight malarkey may be good for my confidence, but it's not good for my bank balance lol! xx
 
congrats hun your doing great! im feeling a lil deflated after my 3lb gain but i know i ate crap this week and didnt have the willpower to say no to a kebab so i deserved it lol nevermind hoping for a good week this week and hopefully lose that 3lb again and maybe one more to get to half stone loss, who knows lol
 
Thanks hunny! I'm completely amazed at that loss as I thought the big numbers were behind me now, so really pleased with it. Don't know how i'll do next week though, it's my fiance and mine's 3 year anniversary on thursday so we're off out for a meal. Hoping to save some syns throughout the week so I can enjoy it and not worry about what I can and can't have! Thinking if I allow myself 5 a day then i'll have 70 to spare for thursday night so I can have steak and chips and a few glasses of wine and maybe even a pudding! :)

Don't worry about your gain, you know where you went wrong and that's what counts. You'll get a great number next week if you stick at it :) xx
 
I have got myself a six week countdown so will be there for at least the next five weeks. If I'm honest going to group is good but all they really do is read out what people have lost/gained that week and I don't really find that motivates me or offers me support, it's more the panic of what if I have a gain that keeps me going lol! But there are some really nice people there that it would be a shame to not see anymore.
I will see how I feel at the end of this time and decide from there. I think I have a good enough grip on the plan to be able to manage on my own and I have worked out that over a year it costs me over £200 and I can just think of all the things I can do with that much money :)
 
yea its scary when you think how much it adds up to and that ontop of the food costs aswell! im grateful that i was able to get hold of the pack to do it alone and luckily i have good support in my OH who normally gives in to whatever i want but he has cracked the whip a bit now so thats really helpful! i need to be more strict though so im cutting out any takeaway for the next 5 weeks until i go away to visit mil then i will suffer for 2 weeks as my mil cooks alot of fried stuff :/ and i cant say no to her or she will be offended so will have to eat it but try and eat as much healthy stuff in between lol i think i will allow myself 6 weeks from when i get back before i go try dresses to get rid of all the extra weight and will do shred then aswell to lose some inches
 
Hi everyone! Congrats on the losses and everyone who didn't manage a loss this week keep going this is the time when you really need to claw your motivation back. I restarted when I came back from holiday as I gained all the weight I had lost in the previous 2 weeks when I was away so I tried really hard and lost 6.5lbs!!! Yay! It was my birthday yesterday though so I did go out and had wine and pudding and I am going out tonight with friends but the rest of my week I am gonna be extra good and stick to plan. My aim is to get a loss this week no matter how small! I am going home to the UK for a holiday in 5 weeks and I am determined to have lost the weight I have gained since being in Oz. Goodluck for the week coming. x
 
Kirsty, well done on the 6.5lb loss thats great! I hope I can manage to claim back the few lbs I gained this week, im sure if im 100% good then I can

I think that has freaked me out a bit as as the moment I don't have a job (was made redundnant couple of months ago and keep looking and applying all the time but no luck yet) so am living off mostly savings, I knew this would be expensive but I decided that now was the time for me to be selfish and try and get myself in better shape. The long hours I worked stuck at a desk meant take aways became regualar feature for us and exercise became none existant. Sadly my OH is pretty useless around the house (he'd admit that too) so I have to do everything and I am easily swayed because I have washing up so we were still having too many take aways but now finally after me keeping on asking him to stop suggesting them or asking for one he has at last agreed no more take aways I can not put in to words how happy I am about that. :woohoo:


Are you going to be spending 2 weeks with your MIL? If so could you OH have a word with her before you go to try and get her support too or could offer to do some of the cooking maybe so you can control some of the meals? If she lives somewhere nice maybe you could do some walking etc to try and restric the damage...it's tough when someone else is in charge of the cooking so don't worry if you do have a gain. You will lose it again and then you'll feel great trying on dresses :)

@ Kirsty - congratulations on getting that back off and HaPpYBiRtHdAy!! Enjoy it, you only get one a year :)

Thank you!

Having a major dilemma tonight though! I'm going to the football straight from work so will need to grab dinner in the hour between.

I'm considering wagamamas as the thread in eating out says a ramen is only 6pts? Urgh it's so difficult!
