20 somethings

You won't! Look how much you've lost this time, it's AMAZING (which reminds me...get that 4st sticker in to your sig hehe!)

I think the fact SW allows us to see such big differences in ourselves in a reasonable length of time and with yummy food in big portions it hopefully will prevent us from falling back in to old habits. Obviously we need the odd treat but in general.

I honestly don't think I could go back at the minute even if I wanted to, the one thing about SW is that it's made me incredibly self conscious of my body and how it looks. I honestly can't walk past a mirror or window without looking to see if I look 'fat'. I've said it before and I've said it again, I look in the mirror now and pick up on problems much quicker than I did when I was heavier. It's fab to have lost the weight and if I sit and think about it I know I look better...it's just getting over that 'I'm still the big girl mentality'. ****** I went on a rant there.
 
Hi everyone! Does anyone mind if I join in? I am 22 and joined SW last Wednesday but couldn't start until Sunday as that's when I do my weekly shop. I had my first WI last night and lost 2.5 which is amazing for only 4 days on plan. So pleased and finding it easy to stick to :) I don't have many close friends and any I do have all live far away and don't really have any issues with food or being overweight so I love this forum for support. I have around 4 stones to lose but after trying about a million diets I am taking the best route which is losing slowly and healthily :D
 
Hey Felix, welcome to the gossipy room!

Jenna you sound so excitable this evening. Haha. It is a shame you are so critical about yourself now, hopefully the toning effect of the gym will firm up bits you are not keen on. I look at myself and go, "...ohh this bit is smaller" and "ooh, no saggy skin yet, Woop" hoping I don't get too critical... Eep.

I do need to change my Sig but I am on my phone right now. I'll do it on the computer at some point.
 
Hey All,

Longest group ever and was out for about 2.5hours (live 5 min away!) so am back now but very very tired, I am pleased to report after my gain last week I lost 4.5lbs this week!!! I lost that much on my first week so here is hoping I can somehow get a good loss next week too, any help and support this week will be much appriciated :)

I am so glad you don't mind the chat, I know it can be hard to keep on top of everything going on but I love knowing others who are going through this too, I have no one in my life that understands this like you guys and it's so strange and good how much we have in common quite often.

Good luck for tomorrow Fran, I know what people can be like in those sort of places but you just have to tell them how it is and they'll tick their boxes and let you get on with things.

Enoying the chat between you and Jenna, it's the same for me as I agree that SW changes your habits for life not just a quick fix or a fad, as long as you want to change you can do it.

And last but not least Welcome Felix :) Congratulations on your first week loss, you did great and you are very very welcome to join us on here
 
Thank you, I am just pleased to of got rid of last weeks gain and be losing again....finger crossed for a good WI for all of us next week.

I am going to go through all my books etc and look up which foods are speed foods and increase them for next week
 
Thanks jo glad to be back, been busy at work but week is finally over now so got more time to chat lol

Welcome felix well done on your first weeks loss! Good luck for the next one
 
Well done star! Amazing!

Im hoping that so much of my gain was due to it being totm this week so maybe it wasnt quite 7lbs in the 3 weeks but some bloating leading upto this lol we will see in the next week or 2
 
Well done star! Fabulous! I've never lost that in a week!

I have the dreaded pms rearing it's ugly head now so going to have to cut out chocolate again this week to keep on track so i am right with you star!

Ch2b, how's your week been so far? Getting back on plan ok?

*pokes through the ether to find mandy*

Jenna, I changed my sig for you whilst doing a Tesco shop.
 
I find myself yet again today worrying that I won't lose any weight this week! Every week I have lost so far (except 2 STS because of star weeks) and I know the plan works and need to trust in it, but when I've stuffed myself full to the brim of yummy food like I have today, I just can't see how I'll lose weight! Sure I'll be pleasantly surprised on Monday, but it's hard to stop my head worrying! I have no idea how eating such amazing tasting food can make you lose weight, but it's great! :) xx

Was ok tues and wed but today went to cinema so ate out aswell and I got my sisters hen night Saturday so will have to see what WI brings on monday I guess.

I would like a loss after the last three weeks of indulgence but since its tom aswell I will probably gain even if its just a small amount but at least i will know whats partly to blame.
 
Sammy I always think like that too especially when im eating sausage and bacon and chips etc..

I still havent started my shred again yet lol will start monday now as I am away the weekend.
 
Hi ladies. Sorry. Again.

I've been at my mums all week and she doesn't have scales (what's that about!?) so I have no idea how I've been this week.

I skipped WI this week 'cause the only one here was on a Thursday and considering I weigh in on Monday I thought it was slightly pointless.

I suck at SW :(
 
Clare, don't be so hard on yourself. As you say you don't know how you're doing so you could be fine, just make sure you're an angel until Monday.

Laaaadies, I think I've pulled a muscle...in my ASS! I swear everytime I move I think I'm going to die haha!I took the term working your ass off too far haha! I hope my new swimming suit arrives tomorrow so I can go for a swim rather than the gym.

How has everyones Friday been? Mine was good, was working in a school where ALL classes finished at 2pm meaning I was free to go...was deeeelightful :)
 
Lucky you finishing mid afternoon missy! Ouch On the pulled muscle! Swimming would definitely help if you could go tomorrow. Hope it feels better soon!

I had to brave the m25 after a long strategy day at heathrow but just stopped off to get bits for a big old SW friendly 'fry up' tonight so can't wait for the OH to get home!!

Isn't this weather vile! I'm deffo gonna be pitying my PJs and slippers on when I get in - it feels so wintery!!

What's everyone got planned for the weekend? Xx

Yum to the fry up! The weathers horrific, it took me twice the normal length of time to get to work this morning due to the roads being flooded...what's worse, people were actually overtaking others-you honestly couldn't see a thing it was raining that hard-idiots.

I'm in my pj's and all <3 I've no plans for this weekend and I like it, friends asked me to go to the pub tonight but I said no and another wants me to go to theirs to watch X factor tomorrow. Maybe I'm just weird but I can watch X factor in my own house, I don't need to drive 30 minutes to see it so I won't be going. They always think it's weird that I won't go to theirs to watch it but I prefer sitting in the house lol!

You up to anything?
 
Clare I wouldn't bother going on a Thursday when I was going on a Monday either, I'm sure you'll be fine at the scales.

Ch2b, you have so much going on. Lucky you! I have toddlers and flab club and that's it! If you make the week the best you can im sure some of the holiday weight will come off still.

Jenna, LOL! Go sit in a warm bath for a bit tonight and take some anti-inflamitaries. I am the same as you, I hate watching tv with other people, they always talk at the wrong time.

Corset, I think my parents are stuck there now. They are not happy! No rain here though.

Thought I'd make a day of going to bridport as the bus is 40 minutes each way. Had a lovely wander and picked up some time bits. So glad we had a big breakfast as by the time I found somewhere that did jacket potatoes it was too late to get one. Plied Nate with lots of snacks too so he was happy. Took him to change his nappy and discovered I had come on early! Rarge! (sorry tmi). The meeting involved Nate screaming the whole time because he wouldn't go to sleep, bit it turns out there's not much they can/will do until he is five, I just pop along every 6 months. Good news I got 2 tops in the sale and some books for Nate in a charity shop. In another charity shop they were trying to sell a dress for more than I got my tops for! I am not paying £8 for a second hand top originally from Dorothy Perkins, get a grip.

Glad you made a day of it and you're just right not buying the top! I'm currently lying in bed with the electric blanket on, it's BALTIC. I can't cope with this cold. I doubt I shall leave the house over the weekend (unless the swimsuit comes). I'm also trying to fight the urge to go and lift a funsize twix.
