I'm always like that on weigh in day. I weigh in first thing in the morning in my pjs, so I literally hop out of bed on weigh in day so I can see if I've lost! I have a little print out on my fridge in the kitchen with a little rectangle for each lb I have to lose & I'm colouring it in as I lose, so I frantically get out some colouring pencils & start colouring in the little box if I've lost! Loser, I know...

I'm a bit nervous about it this week. I feel like I should have lost as I've really stuck to plan, but I've had some small losses before when I've been good so I'm afraid to get my hopes up too much!

That's a fab idea! I used to weigh in at home before I rejoined slimming world and I was exactly the same, would jump out of bed and weigh myself first thing, so having to wait all day to get weighed sometimes is a little frustrating! Decided I need the added pressure of going and getting weighed at group though as that seems to spur me on..

Know what you mean about feeling nervous, sometimes you have a total 100% week and get a measly pound or even half a pound, and you think what was the point in putting all that effort in?! Fingers crossed for you, I'm sure you'll have done well Even if it's not a massive number if you have another good week then next week you should get a good loss!

Only 8 days till my holiday now!! Am I driving you crazy going on about it lol?!? Hitting the gym hard this week, got up at 7:00am - apparently there is more than 1 7 o clock in a day lol - and did an hour before starting my day, felt guuurd

 

[graciebabes]

Just realised I think this is the longest food diary I've ever kept up Only 4 weeks I know, but hey, an achievement for me

 

[graciebabes]

Woohoo 2.5lbs off this week which takes me to 12 stone 2 and 10lbs lost altogether soo happy, hoping to get into the 11s next week!! Xxx

 

[graciebabes]

arty0019: (I'm going to drive you nuts with smileys now that I've discovered lots of new ones) Yey, well done!! I'm sure you'll get into the 11s next week with all your exercise. I'd loooove to have the motivation to get up in the mornings to exercise, but I'm just so lazy at the moment. I'm feeling inspired to start exercising again though, as the hard work you're putting in is obviously paying off. You'll be looking fab in your new dress on your holiday!

I'm the same with the food diary. I've never even tried before & was sure I'd get bored of it after a few days. Definitely helps I think! And don't worry, I'd be harping on about hols a lot more if I were you!! 8 days will fly around!

You sound so focused. I'm sure that is achievable - and even if it doesn't end up being reflected on the scales, I'm sure you'll be getting really toned with all the exercise! (Note to self, get up off your lazy ass & try to do *some* exercise tomorrow!)

I'm really lucky cuz my gym is literally 100 yards away from my flat, so even when I drag myself out of bed at silly o clock in the morning to go, it's only like a 30 second walk lol. Eaten some dairy milk after weigh in tonight, felt I'd earned some lol!!

Going to see Michael McIntyre tomorrow night with my boyfriend which I'm soo excited about, but will mean a meal out tomorrow night, so I might count calories tomorrow to try and stay within. Depends where we end up going but should be able to make an OK choice, not having any syns during the day to make up for it! x

 

[sparkles37]

Ooohh, I love, love, love Michael McIntyre. He's hilarious! I'm sure there will be some good choices on the menu. I've had to eat out a few times since starting and I have to say, I think eating out is so much easier on SW than I found on any other diets like WW. Plus, you'll probably work off the calories with all the laughing! Have a brill night!
