Hello Roxy and everyone,I go on a Thursday 6pm till 8pm,getting better now and more motivated,I have lost 4 pound this week by my scales and my weigh in is Thursday, went to the Gym monday did half hour only slow,then i went for a swim only 30 lengths,Today I did Aqua fit for an hour then did 10 lengths..
Ihave a Grandson he is a 15 months he lives in the same street,very handy as I push him in his pram twice a day for 20 mins out and about.
Iam feeling good about myself today cutting down on the bread,also I make low suger jelly add a yoghurt and lots strawberries when it is cooled mix it all together and thats a moose,kills my chocolate cravings.
If any one is on Facebook there is a site Slimming world WOW what an incentive before/after pictures of people amazing.

wow helen !!! your doing great!!, well done

i cant wait till thursday to see how you've done, i have been thinking about you,

to be honest my weight loss has been soooooooo slow i think i might have given up by now if i was just doing it to lose weight, but what motivates me is the diabetes, i want to be complication free for as long as i can, and that thought keeps me going,

you'll have to message me your facebook name and i will friend request you, although i dont put much about my weight on my f/b...i'm waiting for peeps to say i look like i've lost weight without them knowing lol,

the odd person has said...the rest must be bloody blind :lol:

16lbs upto now, in 8 weeks...lost 7lb in 3 weeks and the rest has been slow,
i might have to give the swimming up :( it brings me out in hayfever symptoms..sneezes for the rest of the day to the point i can hardley breath, i love it though so will be a shame...going thursday night to see if i get bad again,

keep it up helen and let us know xxx

Let battle commence!

I don't have the discipline to do a slimming club but I go to the gym & play badminton too, my food is cut down by common sense. So my motivation is now people I haven't seen fora while telling me I look better-it's a great feeling!

Am I allowed to say teh words w eight watchers on a a slimming world thread?? I used them, and it worked really well for me as T1, as tehy don't tell you what to eat, and what not to eat..so none of this, you have to have pasta today thing.

To be honest though, it was teh going t the weigh ins,a nd talking t other dieters that was good for me, rather than any diet advice. I knwo what to do, and turning up and weighing in every Tuesday helped me stay focused

I lost a stone...but have stopped there.

Great that SW works for you...my MIL swears by it. To be hioonest, from what I have seen, there is not that much difference, and if you like the group and the leader, then that is the right one.

Best of luck! :D

Ooooooh NO you wont! I was at the gym today just over 2hrs saw the reading on cardio machines add up to 800 calories used! I promised/threatened the girls in the pub I'll be wearing a crop vest next year to show off my 6pack. Forget SW or WW good healthy competition works!

Right, not as good as I hoped but another 1 1/2lbs it's still loss and going in the right direction but possibly not enough to beat you! I read what a good week you had with bloods on another thread so that may be partly a result of weight loss too so maybe this week victory is yours!

Ok so this week I must lay off the drinking yoghurt! Only half a pound in it, in fact if I took the reading from docs scales not the ones I always use in the gym I'd of walked it! They had me about 8lbs loss-but different scales is cheating! Well done, but i'm pleased anyway as I have some small indentation where my lovehandles once were, only small indentations but it's a start!
