Glad its going well Gizmo, I also feel really positive Day 5 and still very good ha ha

I find having dogs is a great encouragement to go for long walks, I tend to do sort of 30-45 mins during the week and when I have a day off ill go out for a really long one

Enjoy hunting for gym clothes, and joining of course

xx

Yeah, dogs are great for making you walk lol. I wish I had a younger dog that doesn't stop to sniff everything all the time and would run with me lol. Mines 12/13 so is getting a bit slow. Used to be worse coz of her joints but taking her on less walks helped that a bit. She still enjoys a good hours walk up on the fields though

I am similar, I have an 8 yr old Lab who has arthritus so cant take him long, but we rehomed a puppy 6 or so months ago and she can go for hours so works out brill!

Hope everyone is being good!

Compass fitness. £19 a month. Was £17 for this month though, think because I joined a week into it. Love it though. Nobody cares that your there, they're just doing their own thing. Was nervous about going though. Going again tomorrow to hopefully make up for the fact that I'm going out with some friends tomorrow night. I'll try to work the drinks into my calorie allowance lol

Didn't get to take the dog for a walk today, my mum had taken her by the time I got home. Will try to take her out tomorrow

And feeling positive is great, so much better than how I felt before I started all this. Don't want to go back to the way I was lol

That gym sounds like a good price hun, make the most of it The gym closest to me is only £10 a month but I think everyone I know goes there due to it being cheap so of course I wont as tooo paranoid, at least in the summer I can go down the beach and go swimming in the sea yay!

And yes Im with you, I dont want to go back to the depression state of feeling horrible and de-motivated.

We can do this

Hi! Just found this thread, and I want to join in too! I had 'thought' I needed to lose 3 stone, but found out I need to lose 4 stone too! Goal weight also at between 7 and 8 stone, better at 7 (I am soooo short!). Its almost scary to think of being that size, I feel like there will be nothing left of me! In fact I wrote something on by blog about just that last week (weight4suzy.com). And that was after losing only a few pounds I felt like I was disappearing. Its a mental block I think. Maybe I need to get my head thinking thin before I can make my body follow

I would like to have lost at least the 3 stone by the time I go home to New Zealand for our next holiday (I live in the Netherlands now) in July this year. Is that realistic??

its 17 weeks till the beginning of July, so if you manage to lose between 2-3lbs a week then maybe you can reach it

Naughty weekend ay hope it was something yummy?

I would like to know how the hynotising goes, I have considered that too before but never been fully confident that it will work.

I look forward to hearing your weight change this week - downwards of course

Well it was just eating out really - I was REALLY good all week when i was working, cereal for brekkie, fruit and a wrap for lunch and a cooked meal for tea, no snacks. But then I out for dinner Friday - had a cajun chicken breast and a few fries.....saturday I went shopping with the girlies and we had lunch in the harvester (simply chicken with new potatoes and salad so didnt feel TOO bad and that WAS all I ate all day!) then I had a girlie night out! got wrecked on slimline vodka and diet coke and a few white wines!

Then yesterday I had a MASSIVE hangover and had chicken breast in leek sauce for dinner with chips!! followed by a strawberry milkshake, a toffee crisp bar and a pack of monster munch!!

Not good! Tasted SO nice tho!

Back on track today, am having toast for breakfast, a salad for lunch, a protein shake before going to the gym then a healthy tea - prob jacket potato and chicken breast.

Weighed ,..... loss of 2lbs! Not TOO bad after no exercise and a bingeing weekend! I'm going to try harder this week! xx
