Monday 13th January weigh in.

No it will be the 14th tomorrow but you know what I mean, hope it does not confuse people

it is the 14th now!
weighed myself this morning and unless it was a trick of the light my weight was 9 st 1 lb - so lost a pound

how did I do it:

no more Christmas cake or chocolates
had a fasting blood test on Thursday morning so nothing for 12 hours!
more vegetables and fruit
1 extra walk with the dog (bit to cold to do more)

can I keep this up - I hope so.

1pound down,expected more, but I am just glad to be going down. Good luck everyone.

It is seems to be 'pound down week' as I have also lost one pound!
Like Mollie I can't understand it as I had a miserable week last week when I justified 'pigging out' by convincing myself the left over Christmas chocolates had to be used up! Biscuits, chocolates anything sinful was comfort food but it is time now to push the January blues away and start afresh!
I have given MFP a bit of a break as it was embarrassing how high the calorie total went and it was getting me down, but plan to get back to it this week and hopefully get rid of the extra weight I put on over Christmas and a pound a week will do me.
Good luck everyone - 'keep going' wishes to all 'us returners' and the very best of luck to all our newbies - isn't it great to have more members of Glass's Gang!
Many thanks as always to Glass for keeping us going - we all really appreciate your support and dedication

No loss, but no gain either, which is quite surprising as I have eaten all the wrong things this weekend!

mollie grannyeggs sba are you all in the 1lb club [smile, well done! But pound off is fantastic, keep that up and you could have a stone and possibly more off for Easter,(I need to check the date of Easter).

It is lovely to see new names joining us.

This weeks total loss 3lb

Great start

Good Friday is the 29th March

Down .3kg to 65kg.
I think that's about half a pound so not much of a contribution to the joint effort [embarrassed]
On the other hand done quite a bit of walking and went to Zumba on Thursday so maybe put some muscle on ???

I am in the pound club also , 3 off since last Monday .

Mind you having a good old bash at Dry January , sure helps !

Me too with the dry January thing*Nonu*, but have Book club meeting at my house tonight, and someone is bringing champagne to celebrate someone's 60th birthday, so .... just one?

11 weeks to Easter.

phoenix at least its not a gain

jane & nonu well done, the first week back after Christmas is always difficult to get into a routine when all the goodies are still lying around.

I am having dry weeks and a glassortwo on a weekend.

This weeks total 4.5lb

Grannyeggs , go on , any way does champagne count .

laugh .

Glassortwo , GOOD for you .

Looking at previous threads "Do pensioners sit down and watch too much TV" (Yes) "Blue Monday " (yes) - 2 lb ON says it all Memo to self, tape up mouth

Well I'm a bit disappointed because I've stayed the same. Have gone back onto very low carb intake which usually gives a good loss for the first few weeks. There were a couple of celebration days at the beginning of the week, so only 5 days really of low carbs. Must try harder and need to re-check carb values.

Well done to all the losers, and I love the concept of Glass's Gang!

Have you tried My Fitness Pal ? it gives calorific content of all foods .

Helped me a great deal . DD put me on to it . She has lost 4stone in 3 months . What a good girl , so proud of her .

I've just checked on MVP. Water has zero calories!

Should be mfp

Me too glass. Have been very good too. No drinking on a school night and making up for it a glass or two on a weekend. So far so good. Probably shouldn't have bought that case of Red at Aldi on Saturday, too much like temptation!

66k. Still getting no proper exercise. Have started writing down everything I eat; that way I won't eat a chunk of cheese late at night, hopefully.

Crimson - if you haven't already done so try My Fitness Pal - you enter in what you eat or plan to eat each day and it calculates how many calories you have left to pig out on treat yourself so you may well find that you can have your evening chunk of cheese!
I like my low cal drinking choc most evenings and possibly also my 4 pieces of plain choc so I enter it in at the beginning of the day and those calories are then already counted. It's the same as writing everything down but with the added bonus of not having to add up the calories. Good luck!

My new scales are terrible . I realise that the old scales were leading me to believe I was about 5 pounds lighter than I really am, so I'm dealing with this, and want to lose half a stone.

notso keep at it you know it works you will see the difference next week.

crimson looking on the positive side you have maintained so thats a great achievement it means you have halted your gain, hopefully you will start to move towards a loss. Lots on here use MFP and it does help, why not give it a try.

nonu can you clarify what your loss was, I have taken a 1lb on your comment but re-reading your post I think you mean you have lost 3lb sorry for being so dense.

marelli draw a line and make the new scales your correct weight and forget about the old figure ( no pun intended) and see what next week brings.

This weeks total 4.5 lb

2lb down for me

I've just cut out all the cake & chocolate and I'm using the My Fitness Pal app.

Hey way to go baubles well done

This weeks total 6.5lb
