My goodness me, it has been a while since I posted on here, well done everyone, you are all doing fab.

I have been to see some old colleagues today some I havn't seen since January, I was very surprised at their reaction to my weight loss, isn't it funny that we lose weight and then forget about it, well, my story of weight loss over the years has been yo yoing, but I worked out today that I have lost 2 stones I cannot take all the credit for counting calories but I did start with Slimming world and have found it now a way of life, I do have treats but make up for it along the way, I am just encouraging you all as I will now be careful with the darker nights and different winter foods coming up!

How is everyone doing?

[wendy]

Funny you should ask. I was going to post tomorrow.
Back to square one and have put on 7lbs. But if I am on holiday I am not going to not have something I fancy. Sadly in America, it is everything on offer .
Anyways since yesterday morning I have lost 2lb, so only 5 to go.
I think we should see a photo of the new slim line Perchy, maybe in a bikini ?

Well done Wendy and Manda, and of course America always has offers, was it like Man vs Food

[wendy]

Yes it was The food was healthy enough, as we were staying with a couple of Doctors. But no one cooks, it is all eating out and the food is so tasty and humungous portions. I cooked for them one evening and their oven had never been used until then.
Well done Manda a brilliant loss.

Well done ladies.
My diet will start again when I get back home from my hols in the USA.
Last night we went to a steakhouse, as in "man v food" there was a wall of fame, to have your picture on the wall you have to eat a 32oz steak .
Hubby had an 18oz and wasn't sure where to begin with it.
I had a 8 oz fillet minion , which came with seasoned fries and onion rings, and I had already had peanuts in shells, and 2 warm bread rolls covered in butter. I didn't have desert though


Well not until about an hour later when I got back home warm, old fashioned pecan pie with toffee crunch ice cream.

This morning we are having breakfast out at the Waffle House, I may have pork chops and fried eggs, followed by a pancake with maple syrup.

Slimming world will be back on the menu when I get back home to the UK

[wendy]

Sounds all too familiar. Have fun, eat what you want and then think about weight loss when you get home.

I maintained for ages, but got the Paul McKenna book out again in July. Lost some, but put 3.5lbs back on during a lazy all inclusive holiday. I wasn't too bothered as I normally put on a LOT more on holiday. Back on course again and lost 11.5lbs so far. I stopped smoking again at the same time and probably due to me having just a little bit too much to eat while battling my nicotine cravings, my loses aren't huge! It's going in the right direction though and the best bit is, with this system I am no longer obsessed about foods I can't or shouldn't have! Huge bonus for me!

Kez has taken about 15,000 photo's as I am not photogenic, but I think you can see a little has come off

[Linda S]

Brilliant losses ladies, and Perchy you're looking fab 2stone is a heck of a lot you can really tell too just by looking at your avatatar

Iv lost 2.5 this monday which im pleased about, but i missed a couple of weeks at SW with and i had put 6lbs on so still 3.5 to get rid of.

Anyhow iv changed some meds and the side effects on both are wieght gain, so thats my excuse and im sticking to, regardless of the fact that iv not been on it at all

Im definately getting back into it now cause my blood pressure has gone up again and my meds increased luckily my diabetes is under control without meds but I dont know how with how iv been lately.

Anyhow I want to keep it that way if possible and only i can loose the weight and help myself so im going to put my loss or gain on here every week from now on and get commited again Lindaxx
