Im sure theres lots of people out there who are dieting / trying to lose weight etc. - there might even be a thread on here already that does this (sorry if Im duplicating!) - but.....

Im heading off on holiday in September and am wanting to lose a little bit of weight so I can look good in my bikini! :D

I've about 10 weeks to lose 8lbs - which isnt alot at all I know, but I also know what Im like and how much I like food!
So I thought it'd be an extra motivator for me to have a weekly weigh-in on here, so every Monday (if I can) I'll be weighing myself and recording it on here... others feel free to join in! :thumbsup:

Today's weigh in = 9 stone 8 lbs

8lbs in 10 weeks should be easy,I stopped drinking for 3 weeks at the beginning of May and lost a stone.Since then I've been having a few beers at the weekend only,I've always eaten reasonably healthily and I've started exercising more.I've been losing 2lb each week since the last week in May.

ERM...hope you aint a bloke wearing a bikini?

Good luck eyeball-its a good way to loose the weight as you have to admit your gains and losses each week. how are you planning to shift the pounds?
i am doing weight watchers at the moment lost 6 1/2lbs in 3 wks.

I've also lost 6 1/2lbs in 3 weeks :) - but not through weight watchers.

I've been swimming every day, only between 30-70 lengths a time (only takes half an hour or so) and although i've not been eating sensibly, went out Saturday night and drank loads, I can feel my stomach getting flatter and my legs toning up. Think thats the sport for me. I am debating not weighing myself at all and just going on how I feel, what do u recon?

I actually think that is very sensible, weighing yourself can be disheartening, especially if you're also building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so even though you might not weigh less, you'd be more toned and be slimmer. How you feel is more important than numbers anyway :)

You should always go by how you feel. I do and I can't believe how good I feel....only in private though..:suspect:

I lost 15ibs in January over a period of 4 weeks.

I now just train once a week, and I don't diet. With the excersice I'm doing, I've now got nice muscle definition and look/feel great.

Why not just do some fitness training ?

Two pounds a week is a safe recommendation.

How on earth did you manage double that?

Well it certainly didn't do me any harm :D

The only problem I had is that I had to buy some new clothes as the ones I was previously wearing became too big.

My gf lost 15 pounds in three weeks at weightwatchers. It costs five pounds a week to enter. My wife goes too sometimes.

Im trying to do weight watchers at home, i need to lose....erm about 3/4 stones (yep not proud). My problem is im in pot n suppose to be non weight bearing on crutches so im struggling to do much exercise, I do walk to school (15 mins away) 3 times aday.

same here toeless, ive started going to the gym though and im feeling much better in myself and ive only been going a week! not sure how much ive lost yet tho as im weighing myself every 2 weeks to give me better motivation.

does you girlfriend and wife go together :D




sorry couldn't help it.

I started a diet 4 weeks ago with the intent of losing 4 stone before April, and up to now I've lost 11 lb's but I know from experience that you lose loads in the first 3-4 weeks and it will drop to about 1-2 lb's a week, which will get me to my goal.

Also you need to weigh yourself at the same time every week as your weight can fluctuate by 3-4 lb's throughout the day, you know that a pint of water weighs a lb?

Only problem with losing tonnes of weight in a short period of time is that the skin ends up being saggy as a result. Lose weight slowly and gradually whilst exercising and toning areas where the bulge is most prominent and you're less likely to have that problem :)

sorry couldn't help it.

Sometimes they do. We are liberated people.

ERM...hope you aint a bloke wearing a bikini?

Oh yeh, sorry - that should be 'mankini'....

Just by cutting out /down on the naughty stuff like crisps, chocolate, ice cream, etc..
Though I did buckle yesterday and had a 50g bag of crisps and 3 choccy biscuits, oops!
(Hard day at work!!)

I started weight watchers last week and had lost 2 1/2 lb at my first weigh in on tuesday :)
Its blooming hard going though, I feel like killing someone for a chocolate bar!

9 stone 7 lbs - woo!

A (small) step in the right direction!

:)

The safe, natural way to lose excess weight is to cut down on salt and salty food.

Brilliant,I'll start eating a diet that contains very little salt and start drinking four cans of beer again each evening.As beer contains no salt according to your theory I'll still lose weight.

DISASTER!!

9 stone 8 lbs :o

ARRGGHH!!!! Back to square one! :(

Hmm…. Guess the beer and fish 'n' chips on Fri night didn’t help!

Though I didn’t put salt on my chips so if the salt 'theory' is true….. :confused:

If you are serious about losing excess weight and getting in shape, then effective excercise is the key to do this (and a sensible diet)

If you want a workout that will do a job then theres.......

On Saturday there will be 2 legs, bums and tums classes and these will be ideal for toning up the legs, bottom and stomach & will reduce celulite

As I explained, it's not a theory. It's the safe, natural way to lose excess weight. See http://rayhayden.us/lowsodium.html

When you are overweight, however, alcohol contributes to the fluid retention problem, as is explained on http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/steroids.html so the beer may have been the culprit.

And maybe you need more calcium, etc? - Extra calcium reduces excess weight. - Details here: http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/fatretention.html - The explanation is a little complicated but is not theory; it is fact. You just need to read it.

Ok, so 9 stone 7lbs today - lost a pound in a week.

I'm determined to do this though and a pound a week lost will get me to my target so am still smiley!

Slowly but surely.....

Keep going eyeball- anything is better than nothing remember :D

im currently on the special k diet but im supplimenting it with cherry tomatos and grapes- going quite well at the minute- lost 5lbs in a week.

To me many fattys have too many problems and its in their heads.

Friend of mine is a real porker and everytime I say to him "look, women will not notice the fact you got a fat belly so don't worry about it" he gets upset.

I even asked 2 girls at the bar "do you think this lad is fat?" and even they said no.

Does anyone attend a weightwatchers class? I am looking to start going back to the weekly weigh ins one day but i dont want to get the leader i had last time as she wasnt very inspiring (she was the fattest one there.. no offence but its true). Anyone know any good ones in sheff?

:D:hihi: Thats a classic .

If its about losing weight then perhaps she was the wrong leader, however if weight watchers is about showing the others how fat you are , then perhaps she was the right leader

I attend one in Shiregreen on a Wednesday which is good. I did try one at Concorde, which was quite scary :shocked:

9 stones 6 lbs , woo!

:D
