I've just read through most of the posts for OV slimming club Part Two and WOW! You 've all inspired me to have yet another go at trimming down...My motivation?two young sons and a not so young husband who deserve a fitter, happier person in the house...and I'm fed up not feeling as confident as I was when I was a spring chicken - so to speak!
I've tried just about every diet and exercise plan around and have managed to lose over 5 stone but have plateued, well not really bothered for the last 12 months....so here goes....wish me luck!

Welcome to our slimming club Deb, and congrats on losing 5 stone[clap][clap][clap]

How much more of a loss do you want and are you doing your own thing or with a set plan?

Most of us on here now are doing Slimming World with some good results[msnwink] We will help you as much as we possibly can![clap]

Thanks everyone, At the moment I'm following my own plan which is really an amalgamation of good practice from regular diet plans.Until recently I belonged to a gym and tried out lots of different exercise plans including belly dancing which was great fun! But I've been suffering with my knees!(Is it old age creeping up on me?) and have also started a new job which means working away from home on an irregular basis - I get to stay in some very nice hotels - but it's not good for the diet! so I've decided to finally get around to learning to swim - I can't justify being the only non swimmer in my family - even my four old now goes to lessons!
I've started this great master plan quietly by attending some aqua aerobic classes which I foolishly thought would be nice and gentle....boy was I mistaken! There were some 'maturer' ladies who put me to shame!... oh and I'm hoping to lose another two and a half stone by next Easter.....in time to show off my (newly acquired)swimming skills in the villa pool - hopefully!Deb[msnsmile]

Sounds great Deb, but if you want to be a fully paid up member of our club we need to know more about you as your profile is very sparse[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink][msnwink] So come on, where do you live, approx age, how many chidren, whats the job etc etc!!!!! I know I am so nosey[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]

Food diary for me today......

porridge HC b with skimmed
skinny latte x 2 = 2 x HCa's
hummous and salad
loaded pot skins from latest mag
muller lite cheesecake 1 syn
lots of water[angel]

Not doing to well at the moment health wise, nothing major but I am struggling to exercise which you all know is not like me at all,[msnoo][msnoo][msnoo] I have not got over my last cold and feel like its coming back, plus t.t.o.t.m from hell is just not going, and today I lost my appetite and only ate because I knew I had too. I have been back on the iron supplements again since Monday but I am just sooooooo tired and keep falling asleep on the sofa at 9pm[msneek]

OK Julie, I'm just over the forty mark, married with two boys - aged 4 and 7 and a house husband who is absolutely wild about Florida - well we all are really.I just like to make out that he's the driving force behind our jaunts!We live in Wales - the land of song - although not in our house!The boys and I will jig around the kitchen to Robbie Williams et al but I would'nt expose the neigbours to my singing!
I'm a school teacher - part time - and also travel across the UK training other teachers - hence the trouble with the diet!
I'm mad.......about crafting....and always stock up on supplies when in Florida.Do I qualify as a fully paid up member now? Deb

[mizzy]

well Julie you have just given the game away there and some major clues as to why the weight may not be moving, if you are unwell then i'm not surprised at all that your body is hanging on to all it fat reserves to keep itself strong, not that you have much in the fat reserves dept[msnwink]

i'm always tired too but with me it's a side effect from the epilepsy meds and dh said i also have slurred speech when i'm really tired, just like a drunk[msneek] so when we meet up in york you'll have to excuse me girls if i sound a little bit tipsy[msnwink]

i've had a good day foodwise today, much better than yesterday and fingers crossed with another good day tommorow then the pate and crackers will be forgotten by the time i step on those scales
[msnscared] i'm such a scaredy cat and i'm the weigh lady[msneek]lol!!!!!

wonder how Liz is doing? hope everythings ok Liz[grouphug]
