*A New Year, A New You ~ Jan Dieting Thread*

Can I join??

I only have 1/2 stone left to lose but it's always the last bit that's the hardest

I've been following the 2 day fasting diet since September and seem to loose about 1/2lb a week but at least it's coming off not going on!

To date I've lost 8lbs as I had 2 weeks of DDP during that time which was not good for the scales!

My weigh in is usually a Thursday mornings

[torsie24]

I've gotten into the habit of having vegetable soup for lunch.

Nice and healthy and tasty.

I do have to have a bit of bread with it as I am super hungry otherwise, but I've changed my work snacks to banana and apple juice and sometimes a yoghurt with granola if I'm starving.

Well done on any losses this week so far!

I'm pleased to report I got on my scales this morning and I've lost 3lbs! I was super pleased, even though it's only week one for me and the majority will most likely be water loss.

Onwards and downwards I say! Good Luck to anyone yet to weigh in this week!
My loss has spurred me on now, must keep it up and going!

[Eliza32]

Can I join please?? I'm going to be fifty in November, and have decided that I'm not going to be fat and fifty!! Joining Slimming World tomorrow (lost 4.5st with them 3 years ago, let it all creep back on!!) Not going to let it happen again.
In reality, I need to lose 6st, but 4 is my target by November, then the other 2 later. Will see how it goes.
I'm not good at fitness - can't run, hate the gym, but am going to aim for 2 brisk 30 min walks a week for now. OH has downloaded Garmin Fit onto his phone for me.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Roll on the 15th when I can get into a routine with getting out for walks etc.

But you know what, posting here is defo helping me to keep on track as I was so tempted to not even update/face the scales this week. knowing that that I really "had" to post here helped so much. Thanks guys

Well done on your 0.5lb loss, that's great considering you're probably so stressed at the moment Good Luck for your next weigh-in, and with your exams too

Off course you can join in too Janet. Yes that last half a stone can be a pain to shift, but slow and steady wins the race Good Luck with your next weigh-in

It sounds like you've got into a healthy frame of mind Victoria

Welcome to our dieting thread Eliza. I'm the big 5 0 next January and plan to be the healthiest I've ever been, especially when I was at my worst for my 40th ! Good Luck at Slimming World, I hope you reach your target for November

Good Luck to you both girls


Yay ! Life is finally back to normal for me, as my Zumba classes start back tonight, I can't wait

[Laurafoster]

I'm back on the diet too. I started 6 weeks ago but took some time off to enjoy Xmas and new year.
I'm also doing WW from home, managed to lose all my baby weight with them last time. This time I'm aiming to lose around 3 stone which is a combination of baby weight from my 2nd (now 13weeks) and I gained a lot of weight when I was in hospital with Sepsis as I was given Steroids.

So far I've lost 13lbs so nearly at my first 1stone I'm going to Centre Parcs for my birthday in Mid march so I would like to lose another stone by then. Hopefully off to WDW in Sept (have a Disney cruise booked) so want to be at goal before then.

Good luck to everyone else xx
