This might be a strange one?

Thursday night is weight in night for me at SW and this week I put on half a pound, but in my defence I have been out for 4 meals this week, honestly, meals are like buses, none for ages then 4 come along all at once... I did a food diary so that has made me control myself somewhat but I need to get a grip so that is 3st 3 1/2lbs lost. Wish me luck this week.....

Its a weird thing guys. we all know what we want to achieve and what we need to do to get there! I first went to floida in 2006 and for the following 2 years, (am praying we can go this year!) (definitely next year!) I have to go, how I looked in 2006. for the complete stranger I dont look noticably (totally) different. I am just not happy in my clothes and am not happy in my appearence. to the outside person its not a big deal, but to me its everything. lets stick together guys and we can achieve anything. [msncool] I refuse to re-visit the sunshine state in the wrong frame of mind.

I am wearing my hunger like a badge of achivement in weight loss. everytime I feel hungry I think of my badge that will make me feel happier

stay strong Wendy I am with you every step of the way [msnwink]

Because I am going to Rosemary Conley and will get weighed each week I am sticking to it (at the moment)[msnembarrased] but when I don't lose anything I know from past experience I will find it very hard to stick to. I have been on a diet on and of for the past 35 years[msnscared] I lose a stone but then I put on 1.1/2 stone, I'm not a snacker but I love cheese and pies and anything high fat really[msntongue]

I think I am going to rejoin a class as I just can't do it on my own. Just trying to decide whether to stick with Slimming World or give WW another try? 3 weeks today we are off to Florida so I would like to lose a few pounds before then just to make me feel a BIT better.

We are having a weekly weigh in at work 2 girls and 4 men and of course the men are doing so much better as usual! We started this in January and to date I have only lost 4 pounds very disappointing!

The badge thing is a good idea I might try that. My sister used to say when she was hungry she just imagined the hunger eating all the fat. Good luck all[msnsmile2]

Another vote for SW, have been doing it on and off for 5 years with illness in between. 2½ stone off so far, more to go, but I find the extra easy works best for my and fits in best with family life.

I can't seem to take to extra easy, I am so used to having green days and 2 a's and b's I can't do without the extra healthy extras, so I do the occasional EE but mainly stick to green days.

Forgot to say my eldest has lost 3+ stone and is looking fantastic! She's also done EE.

On the edge of booking for late August! (possibly today)

have 3 stone to lose by August 16!!! easy peasy! [msnwink] my wife and I are re-joinging the gym ASAP. she drives me crazy! she looks incredible and moans about her non excistant huge hips!

I have drunk 1 too many beers and it's starting to go south in my middle age.

I have my motivation now. I feel really positive. [msnwink] I am quite lucky in as much as that I absolutely love running. now I have my motivation I cannot envisage failure!

stay strong guys and stay in touch. everytime I start to wobble I will come on here and post something as a way of taking my mind off my struggle!!!

good luck all and never ever give up
