The really slow loss team!

Hi, could I join your group,I am a very slow loser, although I think it is more the fact that I lose maybe 1lb one week, then something happens like last weekend where it was the OH birthday and we had guests, so I ate out Saturday and we had 2 takeaways and birthday cake and drinking wine etc, Sunday is usually WI but I didn't weigh myself but imagine I have put a couple of 1lbs on, also got back from my hols 4 weeks ago where I had put 3lb on which I can't seem to shift. It can be so depressing especially when I see my muffin top. Sorry to be moaning, I think I need a little support from you guys:sign0009::sign0009:eek:ops didn't mean to put it on twice, just getting used to this lol
 
ooh my 30 day shred dvd has come, its collecting dust as we speak lol, im going to start doing it from monday i think i will need a lot of luck to manage 30 days doing it!!! but im gonna give it a good go!! any tips?

Depending on your current fitness levels you might find it easier to do it every other day Lou. Some people find that if they start with every day that by day 3 or 4 they can literally hardly move and that is not a good thing as it means you are risking muscular damage!

As I walk 2+ miles every day in the forest up a steep hill and back down again with a Doberman (which means I am almost jogging really ;)) I didn't find it too bad on my arms and legs, but boy did I feel it in my back and belly :eek: :eek: :eek:

There is actually a thread on here for people doing the 30 day shred - you may get some tips on there too :)

All I would say is that if it is really very painful then you are over-doing it which is not good, so if it you can barely move the day after I would suggest every other day on Level 1 for a couple of weeks, then up the anti to every day and follow the programme.

As I said before - you are going to seriously HATE this woman for the first week at least :p I could barely stand up straight where my abs ached so much :eek:

Good luck my lovely and try to stick with it - it really has made a noticeable difference to my body shape - and that's not easy when you're 52 believe me:8855::8855::8855:
 
Welcome barbarabanks - you've come to the right place. We all lost 1 lb or less every week - apart from those that get get sent to the naughty step for losing more :8855:

But we're a reet friendly bunch - if a little bonkers at times!
 
Yay to WG! Well done you. You can't be far off target now, can you?

You don't need to go on the naughty step for a pound though, but if you want to come and keep me company until tomorrow, that's grand.

Thanks Pom! A lb is a lot for me so I am delighted to sneak over to the naughty step!
Just bought a running machine!!! Eek. Talk about over excited ;-)
 
Yes your picture has worked Felicity he/she looks so shiny.

I ended up eating out again yesterday unexpectedly but I only really had one meal and then had yoghurt fruit and toast for dinner/supper. Will update my diary in a bit.

My scales say I have lost weight so I dam well hope it shows on Tuesday as I am fed up with the fact that my scales and the gym scales usually say a slight loss yet the SW scales more often then not show a horrid gain. It just doesnt make sense
 
hi ladies ive had a terrible weekend completely blown it big time. alcohol and junk food since friday night. have tried to pull it around today but im too hungry to care, but i know ill care tomorrow. but, as i say to other people you have to have a life...this is the last planned weekend out until 23rd december so i will hopefully get back on course from tomorrow. i know i should go to group but i cant face seeing a gain on the scales, it will make me pig out when i come home cos ill end up feeling down, but i will go even if its a big gain, ill just have to deal with it, im gonna be gutted when i end up back in the 12's again though. oh well never mind. i was going to stay in last night but then my friend was upset that i couldnt go and hubby had planned a night with his brother so i felt like i was peeing everyone off. but i ended up having the dreaded pizza after having a skin full. i feel like i have let myself down which is silly, its just one weekend and i was on plan up until friday night and today ive had 2 slices of nimble and ham and am having a curry and plain rice for tea from takeaway so while the curry isnt great its not too bad. its so hard when you want to go anywhere to follow plan, especially when theres drink involved. i did stop drinking though at the end and went onto water which i thought was good, felt a bit wrong ordering tap water from the bar though haha. hope everyone had a better weekend than me!!
 
Never mind Lou my lovely - what's done is done and you can't undo it so there's no point in beating yourself up about it.

Pick yourself up and get back on the wagon - there's plenty of us here who will put out a hand to haul you back on board.

Tomorrow is another day - back on plan and get out the 30 day shred on Monday!

You can do this............. WE can do this :bighug::bighug::bighug:

I have taken my place on the naughty step:wave_cry:
Hope you all have a good week:grouphugg:

I have taken my place on the naughty step
 
Conlou I rarely have big blowouts and still don't lose any weight, so don't feel guilty - at least you are having a life!

Also someone mentioned that cleaning helps shift the weight - well I am a cleaner and do around 30 hours a week and then a bit at home on top and it makes not a haporth of difference to me either!!!

So my blowout this weekend was a little bag of sweets I had prepared for the halloween mob - probably about 20 syns max.

By the way whoever suggested using a penny jar to represent syns, I think that was a damn good idea. I have two jars - one with Syns on it and the other Syns Used. (I put 70 syns in 2p and 1p coins)

Trouble is, due to my "blowout", I only have 8 syns left till Thursday!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I guess I can use another 25 which would make the 15 syns per day mark.

Have a good week all. :)
 
it was me flabulous!! well i stole the idea from my c so cant take the credit but its a damn good tool and makes you realise where your going wrong when you thought you wasnt, id recommend everyone do it just for one week.

oh ladies im so ill, while i was out on sat i started with diarrhea (really sorry tmi) but thought it was just something i ate, it continued into yesterday and i felt sick and im the same today too, i have zero energy and just want to sleep, 30 day shred can collect dust a little bit longer i cant face doing anything today let alone an exercise dvd. i ordered a mild curry last night and couldnt even eat it...probably wasnt the best thing to order like but i was trying to think about syns lol. the only good thing is i maybe wont have a massive gain cos i cant keep anything in lol. so anyone wanting a loss this week id be happy to share my germs haha ;)
 
You poor thing, not the best way to lose weight.

Over two weeks I have managed to lose 1lb, not brilliant but when I think of what I ate in the weekend in between I shouldn't complain. We had two takeaways, wnet out for lunch, drank for England and had a 1/4 of Baileys cheesecake which was yummy. I need to get serious now cos I go away in 5 weeks and would like to be about 7lbs lighter(in my dreams), I also have a weekend away in between. Anyway reading this really helps me to keep on track. Thanks for letting me join your group.:)
 
Lou - Soory to hear about your *ahem* problems. Just make sure you keep your fluid intake up and don't get dehydrated chica.

Well - gained 1 lb this week so now back to 1.5 lbs off target. Grrrrrr. But it was expected as I've had a really munchy week. Back to totally 100% this week and see if I can get there!
 
Conlou I had that nasty problem last week.

I bought some stuff from the chemist to solve it - in fact I had to leave work as it was so embarrassing.

After taking the stuff (which worked) - I then had the opposite problem, not going from Tuesday to Sunday morning. It was a nightmare and I actually would have preferred the original problem!

I think it is a bug or virus going round as I have heard of others having it. Get well soon though. Hmm curry on top of that. I don't think so!:D
