Well done 1/2lb is 1/2lb, and yes I find that with exercise too. I am currently trying to do a 1hr Rosemary Conley exercise DVD at home every other night as well as walking the dog. Unfortunately I have a desk job so sit on my ariss most of the day which does not help so I try and make up for that on a weekend and get out walking with hubby and dog as much as possible.
I know Rosemary Conley is a bit old hat nowadays....but....when I lost 3stones (about 21 years ago!!!!) I did her DVD every day and the difference it made in a very short space of time to my bodyshape was amazing, so I 'm sticking with her on the exercise front for now until i've lost quite a bit more then I'll see what else is out there DVD wise......no way I can face a gym......never....ever......ever....well maybe if I ever get near goal haha xx

Hi - Can I join you?
I weigh in Thursday evenings, I put on 2.5lbs over Christmas and feel my weight loss has slowed right down since late November. I lost 1.5 lbs last weigh in and whilst I happy with that I haven't lost anything over 1.5 for weeks and weeks, most weeks it's either 0.5 or 1lb. I did EE SP fr 10 days and my loss was only 1.5lbs - I was gutted. I'm starting to get a little bit fed up and can see myself falling off of the wagon.
I need motivation and have looked through my recipe books and chosen 7 meals for the coming week in the hope that organisation is key to a good weight loss.
Anyone else feeling this way?

Hi little welcome to Thursday weighers. It is very hard to keep motivated when your losses are small. The thing is they are losses and each lb counts. Planning the week really works for me and writing everything down as I feel I am really accountable. I am very good at turning the blind eye!!!. I am hoping this week is better for you. If you lose 1 lb a week that's 52lbs in a year just under 4 stone. So celebrate the small losses they all add up?

I'm sitting on my @ss all day at work too ohhowiwish. It really is hard when I probably only walk a couple of steps every day...
Well done on you for doing the DVD - whatever works for you, whether it's new or old, is the way to go! As for the gym, well I'm much bigger than you are (even bigger than you were when you started!) and find that the gym was daunting at the start but I think that the thought of going was worse than actually going, if you know what I mean. I do aqua-aerobics and am starting zumba tonight. I work out in the gym too and while it is hard walking out especially in my swimsuit, I'm not going to stop as I'll never be fitter and healthier if I stop going. And if others have something to say about me, well let them. I was the one who always hid away and made excuse after excuse but not anymore. So don't be afraid of the gym if you really want to go and want a change from Rosemary Conley!

Hi little, I usually lose 0.5 or 1 lb a week and only occasionally have bigger losses. It is very hard when others are losing 2.5 lbs to 5 lbs a week and doing exactly the same as you are! And I have so much more to lose than many of the others at my group who are losing loads more weekly than me, but I have come around and now accept that my body will lose the weight slowly and once it's going down I'll take it. I plan and stick to plan and this is the way my path is going. I too tried SP and only lost 1 lb.
Some weeks there I have worked my @ss off with exercise and stuck religiously to plan only to have a 0.5 lb loss, but as Siobhanh said a 1 lb loss a week is almost 4 stone in a year.
Sorry, I have no advice for you or tricks to share but just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and there are quite a few of us out there who are in similar boats. Stick with it and you'll get to target! xx

Thanks Siobahan and Shivermetimbers
I was just feeling a bit meh! Loads of new members at the moment all losing big time and I really don't want to quit. I always said I'd be OK as long as I was losing, which I am, just not much.
So far I've had good days this week, Friday I did have quite a few syns, but I got back on track and have planned dinner every night for the week, All from Slimming World cookbooks, so should be heading for a decent loss.
Fingers crossed

Thanks for the warm welcome people!
I'm finding across the board, to pre-plan and even prepare and freeze for the week seems to keep people on track and more sucessful! Going to try and do a bulk cook at weekends maybe to last through out the week. Especially as I get home from work at 6:30ish so late once I've cooked. If I even cook if its been a stressfull day at the office. Must plan and prepare better for these times of days!
Hope you all had a fab weekend!!! x

Nailed it! Planning really helps. I don't get home til 6.30 most nights, by the time I've waited for busses and traffic. That doesn't include the evenings I'm out for various reasons. We also don't have a freezer; but I find having a plan and knowing what I'm aiming to get on the table really helps me. I also do big things of pasta and sauce, which can be re-purposed to salads or pasta bake later in the week.
