I remember you losing all that weight in a week

 

I'm gonna get the bike out in the new year too ...i'm a bit of a fair weather cyclist

Well done Rexi

Saint find a healthy eating plan man! I bet whatever you lost on the Cambridge diet returned straight away once you stopped? Good luck though.

Nice one Rexi - nothing wrong with being a fair weather cyclist

I love cycling

 

Jen have you heard of the 5-2 diet?

Well done to Jen, Supes and Rexi on their weightloss.

I've done the 5:2 diet and I have to say I was really impressed with how easy I found it and the results I got.  I didn't stay on it for very long but wouldn't mind trying it again.  

I have heard of the 5.2 diet Saint, haven't tried it but understand its fast for 2 days eat what you want for 5?

 

Tbh i have only really been on a 'diet' once before in my life and that was a year or two ago when i was calorie counting on an app. I have to say i have found slimming World to be fantastic, not only in helping me lose weight but i have also learned to cook everything from scratch with no oil/butter and just generally choose the healthier options. 

From what I understand about the 5:2 diet is eating a maintenance only diet for 2 days a week. Raw foods, mostly fluids, minimal calories.

Eating a sensibly balanced diet for 5 days per week.

Scientist have found this lowered cholesterol and balanced blood pressure but they are not sure why.

 

*dances through thread*

I stayed the same! Still at 2.5st lost dead on after Christmas!!! I was shocked

I hope you had a fab time away Supes and you're well xxx

Can you all please pass  your weight loss on to me, I'm the other way trying to gain

Aimee, you can happily have the shed load I've put on during the Christmas/N Year festivities, let me know where to send it too, before my next weigh in on Wed if poss' 

Well done Jen I really did have the very best of holidays, so much fun and quality time with my sis' and friends, even though I was, (still am) loaded with cold and keep losing my voice! Mostly ate reasonably sensibly for mains, didn't snack, but had far too many desserts and lots of alcohol! Got 'til Wed before I get weighed to try and shift it 'though, so hoping for a maintain if I'm really good......Oh dear as I typed this, friends called inviting me out to supper at an Italian restaurant tonight, would have been rude to refuse

Thank you for asking. For us tea we will be having several pints of Ale at the Sheffield Tap.

PLEASE READ - it's the 5:2 diet

Jen, think your weigh in was yesterday? If so, how did you get on? I'm at SW tonight, think I may have managed to shift the weight I put on before the Christmas onslaught, fingers crossed! Oh and yesterday I treat myself to an Italian hand stitched cashmere and wool camel coat in the sale, think the sizing was a bit generous, but bought a size 12, whoop, whoop :-)

Hey Jen, how's it going? Think it's your weigh in day today?

I haven't been well Supes so it's all gone a bit wrong, i booked last Thurs and this Thurs off as holiday as I've also got some really stressy crappy crap going on at the mo  I've weighed at home and have put a few lbs back on... not loads but some.... I'm (hopefully) on a Hen night on the 31st (other stuff should be sorted by then) so looking at that as a place i can draw a line under it all and start a fresh and just get 100% back on it.

 

How have you been doing? Glad you had a brilliant time away! The back all better now?

Awww Jen, sorry that you're having a crappy time And I got your weigh in day wrong, I thought it was Tues not Thurs!

A woman in my group who has lost an incredible amount of weight posted something on our fb page yesterday which I thought was brilliant: ' Good weeks, bad weeks, losses, gains, remember you've never failed until you've given up trying'

My back is fine now thanks, went as suddenly as it came I've been up and down weight wise, lost 3 1/2 lbs after I got back from my hols, then put on 1/2lb last week....overall that means I weighed what I did at the end of Nov, so going nowhere. Seriously need to get shifting it again if I'm to reach my goal for the wedding @ end of May, so been an this week, hopefully the scales will be kind tomorrow! 

Good luck for tomorrow Supes, I had a few months like you've had over Oct/Nov but then I really tried and lost 1/2stone in 2wks! Hope you get the same xx

I will definitely get back on it in a few weeks and I will reign in being as bad as I have between now and then.

4.5 lbs off wHOOP, WHOOP.....just need to keep up the momentum now, another 1.5 and it's 3 stone

Wow! Well done Supes! Xx

I rejoined slimming world last week, and lost 4.5 this week.  I've bought a little bench top oven/grill/hob combo for work so I can cook at work and hopefully vary the lunches.  Today I have a fish casserole in the oven.  Cod loin, prawns & scallops with peppers, onion, garlic, chilli flakes, tomatoes, saffron & fennel. 

   I'm impressed!  Well done, you.

Is that for lunch in the office, cinds?     I think I'm pushing the boat out if I bake a potato!   *drools*

Yes Kaffs.  I'm trying to keep it varied. 

Well done Cinds And your lunch sounds yummy.

BTW, I left you a msg in your recipe thread re a restaurant nr Thirsk. Not sure if you've seen it?

I didn't see it, I'll go and look. 

 

I forgot got about this thread when I started that one, so I might let mine drop away. But I'll go & look at you recommendation first. Thanks

 

Thank you Supes, I've made a note of that place. But I'll reply in here to this reply... If I can do it right.

 

You're reply is now under my response. But I was just going to say about your sis saying it tasted like soap, I think it tastes like metal. However, I think my dislike for it, is more when it's there as a fresh herb rather than dried powder form.

 

Ah, my sis used to be like that, said it tasted like soap, now she loves it and all things Thai, Malaysian etc. I was the same with tarragon

 

 

Tonight I tried the Heck Italia chicken meatballs that lots at my SW had been raving about (1/2 syn each.) Did them with a spicy tomato and red pepper sauce with basil on fettucini. They were okay, but a bit 'synthetic' tasting for me.

i downloaded the 'insanity' dvds for lisa + the introduction/menu/nutrition sheets

she's been doing it for 6 days-another 54 to go

 

cost me about 2quid to do that

 

argos sell it for £99.00!

 

proper rip off

I am at SW Ells, still do green days as I am a veggie 

Weigh day tomorrow 

Good luck with weigh in Barney, have you been doing it for long?

Thanks Supes on and off for a few years, lost 4 St but put 3 back on after an accident.  Back to 4st loss now and about 1 St to go

WOW...Brilliant

 Thanks. Bit of a yo-yo'er really but determined to get there and stay there this time.  How about you?  Are you dieting (sorry I haven't read the whole thread 

Yes Barney, Jen and I revived the thread as we're both doing SW, then, more recently, Cinds too.  I'm 1.5 lbs of my 3 stone award

Oooh well done  what day is weigh day for you and do you think you will get it this week?

Wow well done Barney! 4st must feel so good!

 

I was at 2.5st at new year but I've had a very bad January and I think I've put the 1/2 back on  been getting a bit back on track today but I'm not 100% on it until Feb tbh.... I usually weigh on a Thursday evening. Supes is Wed (evening too i think)

Yes, Wed eve for me. Been out for lunch today: cod loin with pancetta, savoy cabbage, chervil sauce and new pot's. Asked for no butter on the pot's and the sauce in a separate jug so I could just have a small amount, so hopefully not too much damage. Oh and just one white wine spritzer
