Hiya
Dont be disappointed with 1lb loss this is more than you think (see my sig pic) and also have a look at this link. It shows 5lbs fat lost but runs through 1lb as well and it is not very nice and makes you appreciate what you have actually lost What Does 5 pounds of Fat Look Like? - YouTube
Where bouts in Scotland are you? Always nice to hear from someone from Bonnie (severely wet at the moment) Scotland!!!!!

Welcome - we are a lovely bunch if I say so myself lol! You'll fit right in xxx Good luck and look forward to being part of your journey xxxRightio folks - this seems like an awesome team to be part of, you all seem very friendly and supportive and like to say how you feel which is what I need.
I have yo-yo'd for years now and I am getting closer to 40 (8yrs yet but they are flying in!!!) so I want to try and get myself in check and try and maintain, I know I will have ups and downs and TBH I am not sure if I want to spend the rest of my life attending SW meeting to be able to do this BUT given past experiences of gaining 3st in a couple of years this may be the only option
Minimins has been a lifesaver though with help and recipes and just being able to vent.
I get pretty lonely as I moved away from family & friends and the friends that I have up here have had children and live 30+miles away from me and have their own friends now what with the kids but I dont have and spend all my time with OH. It does get very lonely & at xmas I had the thoughts of driving myself off the cliff that I was driving past and thinking that this would be the better option (at the time I was at an all time low). TBH though nothing much has changed, I still stay in the house lucky to get out once every couple of months or to the OH's parents for dinner on a Friday. I have work colleagues but again I am so far away from everyone and at this age everyone has their own circle and don't have the time!! So fed up with weight & boredom I joined SW in March and stay for the class so this gets me out once a week
Sorry for posting all this but as I said you all seem very friendly & supportive and it is good to get that off my chest even to folk I dont know and will never meet (perhaps thats what makes it easier!!!).
Anyway when I started this journey I weighed 12st 6.5lbs (178.5lbs), today I weigh 11st 6lbs (160lbs). My goal (here anyway - not decided a grp target) is 10st (140lbs).
So for xmas I need to lose 20lbs which works out at 1lb per week and I think I can do this.
Thanks for reading and have a good day
Oh my you are a yummy mummy - I am pleased to report a very baggy bra this week!!! muchos celebrations! now just need the next 4 cups to fall off lol!Grr my trousers r falling off again, just bought linin trousers the other night and they looked fine.

Andrea - could it be the muscle you are carrying - did you need the loo??? chin up target next week xxxNope.
Very frustrated to report my first gain ladies +0.5lb this week.
Don't know where that came from. May be previous weeks catching up with me but it can't be down to food this week as I've been 100% and low syn.
Hey-ho, downwards I go.
Well done you lovely little shrinker xxx3lbs off this week Very happy with that as I have been very poorly with tonsillitus from Sunday til today and not on plan. 5 lbs to go to my 5 stone award

Suzy you are not alone - I have not stopped having secret binges for about the last 10 days...anything we can help you with? do you have a specific time - mine is 9pm once family are in bed...then the binge beginsWell been n signed up for another 6 wk countdown , after much mind changing ( been going every week since may 2011) and not even got much past 1st off must b worlds worst dieter!!!! If I don't manage good results in this countdown that's it ..... If I couldjust beat this binging mood I'm constantly in things would b so much better
Oh don't be disappointed, a 1lbs weighs so much - I always think of it as... a nasty lump of lard off my bottom or one of my chins ... goodbye lol - helps me anyway xxxVery disappointed with weigh in today. Only 1lb off?! hope to do better next week!
