I am a newbie. Wedding date is 07/11/09.
Weigh in is a shamless 11stone 12lbs.
Measurements (going for inches if that is ok, not sure how you do this bit so guessing):
Bust: 40 1/2"
Under bust: 33 1/2 "
Waist: 34 1/2"
Hips: 42"
Thighs: 44"
Arms: 12 1/4"
Top of leg: 26 1/2"
Hope this is ok but if I have missed anything please let me know. I know I will need to send measurements again next week. Will start posting my food diaries too.
Many thanks, here is to getting Nicki back x x x
Well done Michelle!!
I have stayed the same (yet again!) at 10stone 7lbs. Think I seriously need to up the exercise to shift the last 1/2 stone, but struggling to fit it in at the minute! Also, I know my diet could be better. At least I am not gaining anything!!
Food for Monday:
B - Toasted wheat free roll with olivio + Pom Juice
L - 4 oatcakes with low fat pate
D - 2 egg omlette with bacon, mushroom & cheese
Snacks - Sml bag of wheat free pretzels, 1 banana, 1 blueberry muffin (& I wonder why I'm not losing any weight!!)
Drinks - 1 hot water with honey & lemon, 1 green tea, 3 lrg water, 1 camomile tea
Good Luck for this week everyone!
Lucy xxx
You can do it- I've mostly done it with at home excercise DVD and treadmill (no gym as counting the pennies lol) how are your plans going where are you getting married church/hotel/hot air balloon lol xx
Monday
B wholemeal toast with marmite and flora light
L wafer thin chicken sandwhich on wholemeal wiht extra light mayo & Mustard
D Chicken Balti (Pataks- really good for a jar sauce) with 1 1/2 chicken breasts and 3/4 pack of express basmati rice
Snacks
half a pack of cherry tomatoes
half a mini bagg of mini eggs
Excercise
none really too busy (unless cleaning the kitchen and bathroom and oooking counts lol)
Gym can be expensive but I am quite lucky with mine plus its the main way I can motivate myself to exercise, other than at home which is difficult as I don't tend to get home till 6.30, my son needs bath and bed for about 7, then cook dinner and I am a light weight, can't stay awake at the moment past 9, so don't have much time at home, but making the time a couple of times a week.
Sorry babbled a bit. x
I have lost a pound I think! My scales are cheapo rubbish things so its really hard to tell but I'm buying some digital ones on my lunch today so will check again tomorrow.
Food diary for yesterday:-
B - 2 weetabix with ss milk
L - Winter veg soup, bag of weight watchers cheese puffs
T - Vegetable crisp bake, jacket spud and salad
Snacks - Weight watchers chocolate muffin (1.5 points!)
Drinks - 2 x pepsi max, glass apple juice, 1 tea.
No exercise I'm afraid but will be doing some tonight
So weighed myself this morning and looked as though put on 1ib, I was very bloated this morning though so thinking it may be water (hoping. So weight is now 9-stone 3ibs. My scales are doggy as well, really need so digital ones, pay day is not far away so may have to treat myself lol.
Well done michelle on your loss again - be careful you dont lose to much though or there will be nothing left of you at your wedding lol.
Welcome to all the newcomers as well, I am sure you will find this thread really helpful.
Ok food diary for yesterday:
B - Corn-flakes made with ss milk
L - Vegetable soup with melba toast
D - Home made pizza with hame and pineapple, low fat cheese (put very little cheese on mine as well) did ships up as well, but didn't have any!!!!
Snacks - 1 BGY cereal bar, popcorn (watching a film with H2B) and 2 hard boiled sweets oh and 1 rice cake - not a good day for snacks yesterday!!!!
Drinks - 400-ml water, 2x coffee and 2x tea, large glass juice
Exercise - 20 minutes on the cross trainer and 60 sit ups
My food diary was bad yesterday - must try harder this week to be good.
Have a good day
Carly x
I weighed in the same at 10st 4lb but and really giving it what for at the gym now and really working hard on the weigh watchers points! Doing really well at the moment and had 6.5 points left yesterday.
Zx
Michelle well done on a 2lb loss - remember what Carly said though and don't lose too much
Carly you will be right about the water retention so don't worry about it - you are probably at your "ideal" body weight now and will no doubt fluctuate around that figure from now on. You're comment to Mich about not losing too much applies to yourself as well
Box82 well done on your loss. Lucy you'll get there with the last 7lbs just keep positive.
Welcome Nicki
Well I've lost 0.5b taking me to 11st 8.5lbs. I am getting there but so slowwwwlyyyyy. Must get the diet sorted a bit better. Also exercise as think that is key. Been doing lots of yoga as had classes to make up but not been doing so well on the old cardio which is what i really need to concentrate on at this stage to get the lbs shifted. Must do my dvd or bike tonight!!
My diary for Monday...
B - none
L - 1xwholewheat roll with wafer turkey, half a wholewheat roll with ham
D - haggis, mash and baked beans
S - 10 cal jelly, 100cal no-fat vanilla jello thing, half a small piece of rum cake, muller light peach yoghurt, 2 grapes (hmm seem to have had lots of snacks - mostly after dinner too which is bad. The 2 grapes are alright though lol)
D - 1x mangosteen green tea, 1x diluting orange, 1x water
E - 1.5 hour yoga class
Zo
I will be having JJ (Jenson Jack) as my page boy, he will look so scrummy. Dressed just like daddy, I can't wait.
Just wanted to say moogirl one and half hours of yoga sounds really good! Surprised you aren't losing more than that with that kind of exercise. I have been told that the best fat burning exercise is low intensity but for longer so yoga would be perfect for that, although they where refering to cardio, so for example half an hour on lower setting of bike, treadmill, crosstrainer would be better than 15 minutes on a higher setting, hope that makes sense and helps if you decide to do more cardio. Its definitely diet where I need to make the changes, I have got exercise down ok its just being strict and I think writing it down really does help and weight watchers helps by counting points for me, I know if i go over those points I shouldn't be surprised if don't lose or even gain, but if I stick to what is supposed to be done then I should lose, but its my first this time round so see if my talk stands up to anything.
Please call me NJ (short for Nicki Jade)

Well done to all those who have lost and done well this week. Welcome newbies!
Just looked at last week's weight and have actually stayed the same so 11st 9lbs. Wooo!!! Was expecting to put on so happy with that.
Today's food diary:
B - Shredded wheat and ss milk
L - tuna salad sandwich, oj and sugar free jelly
D - not got that far yet, only just got in
S - crispbread and cheese triangle (extra light), carrot sticks and banana, quorn bacon style rashers (those were weird)
Drinks - water, 2 cups of coffee, hot water, nettle tea.
Went to gym last night and did more than I was planning to do so happy with that too.
Really hope I can stick to it this week andactually lose. Off to tesco for weekly shop shortly so will stock up on healthy snacks
;\)
Is weigh-in every Tuesday?
Vicky x
Just wondered what everyone thought: I have been on ww for a while and started buying ww food. I never ate a lot of crisps and things before I dieted just probably too much and never paid attention to how much high fat/calorie food I ate so now I feel like I eat more low cal/fat junk than I did before. I always buy ww crisps and tesco light choices things but do you think it's better to eat "normally" and the sort of things I would eat when not on a diet but just cut down on things. My thinking is that then when I eventually stop ww I will already being eating "normally" and not diet food. Sorry bit rambly. Any thoughts/opinions?
Thanks
Becky.x

welcome to all the newbies! i've been using this thread the last 3 weeks and it's definitely a big motivation and the girls are great for the moral support!
I'm quite sad, i've stayed the same weight this week 11st 6lbs. It's really starting to get me down that no matter how much excercise im doing (which is 5 days a week at the moment) and no matter how healthily i'm eating i just can't seem to drop any weight. I've upped all the the weights i'm doing, i'm doing more cardio, i'm dropping the amount of carbs i'm eating and it all just doesn't seem to be working. I just feel so disheartend and really starting to stress i'm never going to get to my target weight of 10st 4lbs in time for the wedding on 22nd august. it's even more stressful as i've got a boudoir photo shoot in July and i want to be tip-top for then.
anyways, here's what i ate on tuesday:
B - slice of burgen toast with low fat spread
snack - banana
L - small bowl vegetable soup, wholemeal pitta with slice of ham and low fat guacamole
D - spinach and ricotta tortelloni with 2 small pieces garlic bread
drinks - 2 detox tea, 1 litre water
E - 30 minutes cardio programme on my lunch break
I'm so sorry for the big depressing rant girls, i'm just having a down day! I'm so happy for everybody else doing so well though - well done!!

I lost 3 lbs!! finally! So I'm now 11 stone 2 lb. I'm so relieved to finally shed some weight, I had gone 5 weeks without any progress and was starting to feel fed up with the whole thing, so to drop 3 lbs is great
Laura - don't feel disheartened, keep at it. I felt really down after the last weigh in but I'm glad I stuck at it now.
Welcome to all the newbies, I'm sure this thread will help you all.
SJ x
Welcome to the new girls & well done on your losses everyone!
Laura - don't get too down about staying the same. If you're exercising a lot this will affect your weight coz muscle weighs more than fat! Bet you notice a difference in your measurements. Your diet seems really good & you are very good exercising on your lunch break!!
I've stayed the same for a few weeks now, but I know my exercising a slipped a little & I really let myself down at the weekends with my diet! Just want to concentrate on my studying for the next few weeks & hopefully try not to gain anything!!
Food for Tues:
B - Oatiflakes with ss milk + Pom Juice
L - 4 oatcakes & low fat pate
D - Homemade beef stew with crusty bread
Snacks - 2 satsumas, 2 oatie hob knobs!
Drinks - 1 hot water with lemon, 2 green tea, 3 lrg water, 1 glass rose (!!)
Exercise - 1 hour swimming
Good Luck for this week everyone!!
Lucy x
Laura please don't get down (though obviously moan on here as much as you want to that is why we are all hear - to listen). I think you are doing amazingly well (esp all that exercise) and you will see the results eventually. I think some people just don't lose weekly (look at SJ's post - 5 weeks of nothing then 3lbs lost - well done btw SJ!!!) I am also stuck (though to be fair I am not doing nearly as much exercise as you and my diet is not as good)..had little moan to h2b (who is also trying to lose) and he said maybe I've gotten to the weight I was before I started gaining (when moved in with him lol) and therefore will take longer to get past that stage. I thought about what he said and it made sense. I've lost 10.5lbs now but I am still 11st 9lbs and I do remember always being around the 11.5st mark when I was in the UK so maybe I have just lost the "extra" weight and now I have to get beyond that. Not sure if that will apply to you or even help you out but thought I'd share just in case. Just keep up your good work and you will get there
Becky I don't really know anything about ww so might not be best person to be replying to your query..but if it was me and i rarely ate crisps etc before ww then i think it's best to keep to that and not eat crisps now just because allowed to on ww. I'd stick to the same food as you use to eat (provided they are allowed on ww) and have the occassional bag of crisps like you use to except choose the one's allowed on ww. That would seem to be the best way (imo) to keep the "lifestyle" change up. I hope that was what you were asking!!
Vicki welcome!! And awwww wedding cake samples...yummy. Did you pick a cake then?
NJ (love your son's JJ nickname - cuutteee) - yoga is fab. During the 1.5 hours we spend about 10 mins at start and end "relaxing" rest is variet but I love it and I do often work up a sweat. Not helped me much so far but i really have gotten into it so fingers crossed in the long run it will help me be "stonger, taller and leaner.." (as the instructor promised me!!) Cheers for the advice on cardio at lower intensity but for longer periods - does make sense and I suppose things like my walk last night will fall into that category. Thanks!
Ohh I have went on..sorry just wanted to reply to everyone's posts!
My diary for Tue...
B - special k with ss milk
L - chicken soup with 2 slices of wholegrain bread (unbuttered of course)
D - chicken tika with some rice and half a nann
S - none
D - 1x mangosteen green tea, 1x water, 1x raseberry smoothie
E - 2 hour beach walk with h2b....my legs ache today (esp knees) which i think is combination of monday's evil yoga and the beach walk as we were walking through the shoreline with some bigish waves/sinking sand to content with then on way back on the soft sand which was hard going. Of course it could just be that I am getting old and my knees are going to pack in soon

Sounds like everyone is doing great....!
Sorry I haven't been on here for nearly 2 weeks but things have been rather hectic. Was the victim of an attempt robbery, me h2b has been out of the country for nearly a week for work, been run ragged at work and my monthly cycles are causing me horrendous problems, think I've put weight on too as have ate like a horse and to top it off that knee injury I had at Christmas (when I fell off the spinning bike lol) my knee has swollen up! - but hey ho I'm alive!
I've decided to start a fresh on Monday as h2b home the weekend, as I'm being miserable and comfort eating! Will try and pop on here though but things are very hectic at work and haven't got me laptop as h2b has it for work!
Anyway hope you are well and speak to you soon!
I have been trying to lose weight for 3 months and nothing has shifted, I have my Spa hen weekend in a month and want to look good in a cosy for round the pool, started weight watchers yesterday when I joined here so lets see what happens next week.
I am so enthusiastic here is my diary for today:
Wednesday
Breakfast - cornflakes, skimmed milk, sugar light, 1 kiwi
Snack - grapes, babybel light
Lunch - small pasta salad with salad, WW yog and 1 kiwi
Snack - small apple, alpen light bar
Dinner - salmon fillet, mushroom cous cous, brocoli and carrots
Moogirl you crack me up, loving the company and chat on here so thank you, only two days but feeling very motivated!!! Come on weight, just drop off me.
No exercise yet due to my snotty snizz boohoo, might attempt a DVD tonight or gym tomorrow lunch time. x x
Ive not lost anything so still 13stone and 7lbs
Moogirl, I have chosen my cake and tasted some samples at a wedding fair but the woman insisted on making us a fruit and sponge cake. Think we chose the most expensive cake in her shop without realising at the time so that's why she is loving us. I don't even like fruit cake but still managed to stuff my face. Have done much better today though, will post my diary tomorrow but just realised how much I graze while I am cooking my dinner when I get home on a night.
Vicky x
Thank you all so so much for all your support, you've all given me the extra drive to put this week's weigh in behind me and thikn ahead to next week - i'm hoping that the measurements next week will be down and that'll make up for a lack of weigh loss!
anyone getting freaky wedding dreams??!! I had some random one last night i was late for the wedding and had forgotten to get a tiara or jewellery or underwear and i was running around a shopping centre in my dress yelling at passers-by to go into shops to find me the things i needed!! strange.......
anyways, here's food for yesterday:
B - banana, slice of burgen toast with low fat spread
L - small bowl vegetable soup, wholemeal pitta with slice of ham, low fat guacamole and salad

Gemma - Hope you're okay, sounds like you've not had a great couple of weeks! Bet you can't wait for your fella to come home!
RedRuffles - don't get too down, at least you haven't gained!! Keep at it!
NJ - Your diet looks really good, so I'll bet you'll start losing this week! Very healthy eating, I must so better myself! I have no willpower & give in too easy to temptation! As you will see from my food diary for yesterday!

B - 1 toasted wheat free muffin + Pom Juice
L - 1 toasted wheat free bagel with low fat cheese spread
