>>> The 2012 Six Stone Challenge Thread <<<

[dory78]

Morning all
Just wanted to start off by saying thank you for all the lovely messages yesterday, I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and really wasn't looking forward to having to explain it to a 6 year old either, but we got there and with only minimal chocolate usage! Feel a lot better today, had a big cry last night so sorta got it outta my system

Onto today, well I stepped onto the scales to find it wasn't as bad as I thought! I thought in the last few months I'd gone well over 26 stone and possibly into the 27 stone mark but was too scared to actually look, yet today they said 25st 4 - I know that figure is definitely nothing to be proud of but a heck of a lot better than 26 or 27 stone!

So here's to day 1 of my journey, long may it continue!!

(btw how long do each of the mini challenges last? ie are they weekly or monthly or just when we decide to change them? lol)

Dory- I started last Jan at 24 st 4 lbs. I didnt actually start dieting properly til Aug 2011 when I weighed in at 23 st 12lbs just 20 weeks later I am 19 st 11 lbs and I feel like a different person!

Many of us have been where you are and in a few months you will feel and look much different, good luck xxx

 

[MissSlinky2011]

I've sts today but I'm happy with that because I swear these pregnancy hormones are making me bloat a lot. I'm also finding that when I start reaching with sickness the only things that help are salty (crisps) or sweets but that should stop after 12 weeks.

I have to say I really really am missing a good runny egg on toast

:welcome: hun and have a fab time at group tonight, I love the support I get there and added to the support on here it's brilliant, how can we fail :hug99: xxxx

 

[dory78]

Thanks for all the support so far guys, I can honestly say I'm feeling really positive right now so gonna try to hang onto that feeling for as long as possible. Unfortunately just had a bit of a hurried lunch, my shopping didn't arrive till around half 12 and once it was all put away etc it was just gone one and i had to be back at work for 2. I work from home so not too bad but didn't give me a lot of time to make loads. I kept it fairly healthy I think, had tuna pasta and sweetcorn with a couple of satsumas for afterwards. Not a lot of food but all I could rustle up in a short amount of time. Planning a nice big stirfry tonight with a massive helping of extra beansprouts (i could seriously live on those things!!! yuummmmmm) and hoping to follow it with a yoghurt or maybe some SF jelly
As for exercise - well with work and school runs etc I don't get a lot of time either so may have to follow Lucia lucia's idea I'm sure the bf will be more than happy!!! lol

 

[Lucia Lucia]

ooohh a stirfry, havent had one of those in ages, thats on my list for next week now!

 

[Wannamakeitwork!]

Hi
I joined this challenge yesterday but never really introduced myself.

My name is Cathy and I will be following the extra easy plan from home. I won't be attending class as I don't enjoy the body image sessions they make me feel so self conscious. I will be undertaking my journey with a friend and we intend to support each other in our mission to lose the pounds, increase activity and start enjoying life again.

Life is always hectic in my world as I work full time, in my third year of a degree course and have 5 children.

I met my partner 12 years ago after spending some time at weight watchers, I was wearing a size 12 skirt.

3 kids later and after given up a 20 a day habit - I now weigh 12.5 stone more than the day I meet him. So I definitely have 6 stone to lose and more.

Today is day one.

I wish I could bottle up the feelings I have today - the revulsion in what I have done to myself and open it up whenever I am tempted to stray!

Any way went out on my bike for 30 minutes - had a four year old with me do very gentle ride but better than sitting on sofa.

Had grapes, apple, tomatoes, mushrooms so far! Dinner is going to be veg orientated.

Hope everyone is having a positive day!

Hi Cathy and well done on starting your journey, however you do it, good that you have a friend there to eb a support to each other too.
I know the feeling when I met my hubby some 36 years ago, I was a good size 12/14 and up till 3 years ago had ballooned to 31st 7lbs and was kidding myself I was a 30/32 (I was infact closer to 40 in clothes size )
I know what you mean about bottling up the revulsion feelings, but I find it better to let them go now and to focus on the good and positve things, hate going down that negative path now...positive all the way, so even the bad times are good (isn't that a song title :giggle in my world as I said I find a positive in everything.
Well done on the bike ride and just remember as long as its something you don't normally do and makes you sweat, it's all good :bighug: xxxx

Can anyone clarify for me that muller light yoghurts are now free of syns on SW? (except the cheesecake or cherry underlayer ones) I seem to have a bit of conflicting info regarding this and don't want to make a mistake this early on!!

 

[emzybop]

Hi Dory the fruit variety muller lights are free as far as I know!

Had a good day so far:

Banana,
2 plums
Oranges x2
Blueberries
Mushrooms

I'm a bit dubious, I made the quiche to take into work with the pasta n sauce made into it. I also put ham and mushroom in. I took half a bag of spinach with me as my third super free, but when I opened it, it was off! I had the quiche by itself so no 1/3 super free... Is this going to affect my weight loss this week?

It was only one meal so no it wont have an impact on your weight loss. I often have meals with no superfree but have a fruit salad after, I'm not a fan of many veg as I have a throw up reflex to certain textures like tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, yours with bits in lol the list is endless!

Hey peoples... I'd really like to join you all. I started out with 9 stone to lose, and have lost 2 of those, leaving me with 7 until target. Ideally, I wanted to be at target for my birthday in July, but it's looking less and less likely. But I'll definitely be at target by next Christmas! 6 stone this year? No problemo!!! (I hope )

I do still have to lose what I gained over Xmas lol, so I won't be starting until I've lost 6.5lb. WI is tomorrow, and I'm hoping to have a good chunk of that gone by then!

 

[MissClumsy]

Evening everyone, had my SF today, in the form of apples, clementines, banana, green beans, carrots, peas and sweetcorn. I also walked to and from work (15 mins each way) and rushed about all day, so that will have to do as my exercise for today!

Have a great evening! xx

 

[Bron]

Hi

My SF today

Apples
Oranges
Pears
Super speed soup
Celery
Carrots
French beans

30 minutes on the WII fit

A couple of people have mentioned syns online, is that part of the sw online thing that u have to pay for? I'm going it alone but wonder if its worth the money to do it online? And do you have to renew it every few months? Or how does it work?
