From 17's to 16's
- Thread starter Mrs.S.
- Start date
2nd weigh-in last night, lost 1.5 lbs so am now 17st 7.5lbs. Really pleased with this because i'd absolutely convinced myself that i'd gained weight after having a "wobbly" weekend. Back on it 100% now so looking forward to a great week and hopefully a really good loos next weigh-in. x

Heyyyy. Lost 3lbs and im not 16 12.5lbs!!! Yay. See you soon guys xxx
I am the same! Always had sugar on top of mine to ease the sourness but red grapefruits are not so sour and I add a sprinkling if sweetener but it all disintegrates into the juice so I can't taste it and it just takes the edge of it, but it defo wakes you up in the morning! Lol! xxx

Weighing day tommorrow. I have been 99.5% on plan . Just had a handful of really cheesy wosits from my partner's grab bag last night.
Hopefully the scales will be good to me. I will take 1/2 a pound please - fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear that, I hate it when that happens but at least it is not a gain! I hate how we can get so held up on these numbers each week. Stay strong and focus on that loss for next week - I have struggled in these situations and had to fight hard not to get the "sod it" attitude and hit the chocolate. Stick with it and stay positive.
I lost 1lb this week (was hoping for more but 1lb is 1lb) so I am out of here and into the 16s, cant believe that, must have been years since I was last 16 something!!!!!!
See you all down there!

Thanks Hannah2 for the pep talk. You are right though , getting hung up on numbers does not really help at all.
I had a cheat day yesterday , so hoping that might shock my body a bit.
So drawing a line under yesterday and starting fresh again. Making sure i stick to me green days instead of red and ee which i said i was going to do but never did in the end.
Well done losing 1lb and well done on making it into the next room down !!!!

Hi all,
I bit the bullet yesterday and signed up to sw! I'm 18st on the nose bit hoping to be within this category by next wi (tues). Hope I can squeeze in somewhere!
Target weight would be 13st, but taking it a stone at a time atm. I've always been big since being a child really. But a few years ago before having my son I had reached 13 stone. Although still classed as overweight, I felt very healthy and happy - would love to be there again!

Just out of interest , how much water ( including diet drinks, teas and coffees) do you all drink ? According to my weight i should be drinking 3682 mls .. I have been trying really hard for the past couple of weeks to do this.I used to struggle with drinking water and am just about drinking 2 litres. I just hate all the peeing.

I'm terrible with drinking too.
Today I had 2x cups of tea with remaining healthy extra milk from breakfast. I've had about 2 pints of water on top of that & plan to have a chamomile before bed.
I find the flavoured sugar free sparkling water easy to drink, especially in hot weather. I don't have any in at the moment. But can easily get through a litre of that in a day on top of tea!
Someone once advised me to have a pint of water 30 mins before eating. It did stop me eating such large portions I must admit. Makes me wonder how often I eat when I actually just need something to drink! I guess its bad habits or something??

Can I join in here? I find it much less daunting to take things a stone at a time than look at the long term goal! I have 9.5lbs until I am in the 16s

I would really like to drink the sugar free sparkling water but most of them contain aspartame which i am trying to stay away from . I currently manage 2 litres but i need an extra 1.5 litres.
Hopefully some of the fruit i eat adds to what i drink already.

What is aspartame? Not heard of it before - what effect does it have?

Aspartame is the synthetic sugar they use in sweeteners. Causes me headaches. I researched it last year and it an can cause cancer and premature birth.

Thanks! Has anyone tried success express? I am thinking of trying this for 2 days before WI but finding it quite confusing!
