Icmelerites Slimming Progress

[reesy1959]

Well done everyone, some great losses again. Shame we cant convert the lb losses onto our luggage allowance to take to Icmeler !!

[redrhino12]

I have come to the conclusion that it is unatural to try to slim at this time of the year (Winter).
Nature fattens the animals up in winter so that they can live off thier fat and it also keeps them warm.
Now here are we walking round as slim as pencils complaining about how we are feeling the cold.

One or two off us realised we were in for a rough winter so managed to store a little extra fat thanks to Cadburys.
I think when the butterflies start to fly, will be the time when Gene will have massive fat losses, in the meentime I am keeping warm as nature intended me to be.

I Did Lose a Pound This Week Though

You're dead right Gene! its so hard sticking to diets in these baltic conditions!, thought of a salad makes me shiver! Baked potatoes are all I ever fancy eating! oh and chips, and chinese,and indian, takeaways . I've managed to lose one and a half pounds, but I think thats because I've gone to bed so early each nite to keep warm, hence less snacking time! Bring on some spring weather, I'm sure we'll all find it a bit easier then.

Good luck everyone, xx

I've come to the conclusion we should hibernate....that would stop us eating

[ochlynda]

Only managed to maintain this week. I would kill for beef stew and home made dumplings.

If you're after comfort foods, remember with slimming world you can have home made casseroles, stews etc just try not to mix your meat and potatoes. You can even have your dumplings if you count them as syns.

Don't get disheartened in this nasty weather, it can still be done with yummy warming foods!

been bad tonight sorry just had curry rice with chips feel guilty its hard this time got to get my head round this

[Jozzyd]

Don't feel guilty LynnJenny it is only one hour out of the week you can soon get back on track

[LynnJenny]

your right was just sorting through some clothers to throw out i have a fav bikini thought it would not fit it still does but got to get more weight of went to the farm today so made veg soup nothing in that that will keep me going for a few days

[LynnJenny]

hi everyone how are the diets going lost 4lb over the weekend its coming of slowly

[reesy1959]

I didnt weigh last week as I was snowed in, so I am looking forward to weighing on Thursday.

Well done on your 4lb loss.

[LynnJenny]

thanks mary we are going out tonight my husband said should we go for a meal first god help me i will have to be good just no deserts this is going to kill me

[skilly]

I know this may sound like an excuse but doesn't it get harder to get the weight off as you get older?
When I was in my 40's I could drop a dress size easily, now as I have matured it has become much more difficult, it will not budge!
Do any of our older slimmers find this or am I just terrified of getting weighed on Thursday

[reesy1959]

I am 50 this year and I definitely feel over the last few years while dieting its not shifting as fast as in previous years, but I guess everything slows down, even the weight loss - unfortunately

[reesy1959]

thanks mary we are going out tonight my husband said should we go for a meal first god help me i will have to be good just no deserts this is going to kill me

Just think healthy eating and choose the nicest low fat meal on the menu, or say sod it and have something lovely and fattining.

Enjoy your meal.

[LynnJenny]

well had great night went to see a comedy play we went for a meal had steak baked spud and saled god i was dying for a sweet but just had a coffee i agree weight is slower coming off a few years ago it was easy but it just wont come off that fast but have to keep going think of our holidays

[w3ndy]

5lb off this week, well done LynnJenny I wouldn't have been able to pass on dessert.

[red wine]

I managed to lose 1lb this week only a small amount but its true what they say about the age doesent help i know other years ive only had to cut out biscuits and cake to lose 1/2 a stone in no time but last year it took ages and this year is even worse i was 50 last year
But we shouldnt lose heart glad to hear of everyone elses losses

Well done lynne jenny on the meal and the temptation of the dessert

[dotty]

2lb off again this week, if I keep this up it'll mean I'll have to replenish my holiday clothes! dotty x

[reesy1959]

Well done on your losses, every little helps.

Last May I bought some new clothes to take and one of my favourites was a red and white dress, (thinking Turkey colours) but when I tried it on around day 4 of the holiday it was too tight. I took it again in Oct last year and still couldnt wear it. I tried it on on last weekend to see how it was...........OMG its too big, fantastic feeling.
