Well done Ali[clap][clap][clap] sometimes new members take a few weeks to settle into the plan, what you have to ask yourself is how easy was it to lose 2lbs and if it was fairly easy then what a great way to lose 2lbs per week[clap][clap][clap]

My problem with red days is I don't really like meat[msneek]

I would have syned it before I ate it - but at the time I didn't know how much I was going to eat - [msnoo] LOL

so i enjoyed it and then went back to update the synage - [msnwink]

Toblerone safely back in the fridge now and still over half of it left - which in itself is a minor miracle [msnsmile2]

[charkyry]

sorry to interrupt ladies but im looking for a quick fix really.ive been confined to a wheelchair due to a knee injury and due to boredom eating my wieght has risen(is normally very stable) any tips on getting it back down will be in the chair for a couple more weeks so exercise is out

[mizzy]

sorry Sam there's no such thing as a quick fix and anyone who sells or tells it differently is so very wrong or looking to make a profit

the problem with quick fixes is that invariably the weight always goes back on and then some

if you can give us an idea of how much you want to lose we will try to offer some support and advice food wise

from what you'e said i think you need to address the boredom and look for something to replace the comfort food that you're prob eating whilst being bored, simple this one, swap chocolate, crisps and high fat snacks for fruit and virtually fat free yogurt, yes i know this is easy to say and harder to do but you do have to ask yourself how much do i want to lose the weight, i ask myself this two or three times a day usually when those choclate biscuits begin to call my name and temptation is looming, sadly i recognise that unlike Elaine i would have great difficulty in leaving half a toblerone in the fridge so my answer is to not buy anything in that i would find hard to resist[msnembarrased]
i still have a treat though as you can see from my diaries but i keep it for the end of the day and most improtantly i allow for it in my syns[msnsmile]

did you know that even in a chair you can join a class but you need to speak to the consultant first, the way this works is that you can be weighed on hospital scales at the docs or hospital prob once a fortnight and still get the group/class support, roping a family member or friend in is a great motivator too

finally don't fancy a class? that's totally fine, then we are always happy to offer support on here anytime you need it[msnsmile]

you can download a 7 day trial menu on here www.slimming-world.co.uk

good luck Marie

Gutted - after a good week I stayed the same [msncry]

However I refuse to get discouraged so onwards I will go

for you Elaine[grouphug] but at least there's a positive from today, you lucky devil, not jealous at all, well ok then i'll admit it, perhaps a little[grin]

on the weight loss front keep at it mrs and there'll be rewards next week[clap]

you never said Julieanne what have you done to your foot?, too much dancing round that handbag perhaps[laugh] or perhaps you just need to take more water with it anyhow, seriously i hope it's not too bad and not hurting too much, get well soon mrs[grouphug]

Marie – as if I would put my Radley on the floor to dance round!!!!!!!! [msnwink] [msnwink] Perhaps a slight exaggeration to say a problem with my foot – it is only a toe. But a BIG toe and I have lost the whole nail from it [msncry] Whilst its not really been painful it has caused me some discomfort at the gym. Certain machines/movements seem to hurt it either in reality or in my mind!!! So I just need to be careful what I do….. [msnscared]
It never rains but it pours……………….. and it’s certainly mine and my family’s turn just now


Jan – well done, how good are you? [clap]
And well done to you too Ali – two pound is a pretty good start [clap]

Think I need to get back to planning my meals in advance rather than the just grab it and eat thing that is going on now… and will post my new weight loss target to inspire me! And perhaps need to start doing food diaries too...
