Make's me feel like that too, I start a diet and go gym lose about a stone and then i don't know what happen's i think i get lax because i'm losing it, i was a size 10 9 1/2 stone before giving up smoking 2 and half year's ago wish i hadn't bothered. It's boody horrible being fat nothing fit's properly i do find it slightly amusing that the only thing's comfortable are sports clothe's yeah right it look's like i do sport's hahaha
 
Only lost half a pound this week - would of liked to lose more really, but still a loss.

Don't think I've been eating enough really as too cold for fruit/salad, will look at my food diary see what is different.

Stayed for group but do find it very much the same each week - but maybe all meetings are the same? We go round everyone with everyones weight loos/gains, nice to see people getting their half and 1 stone stickers.

Next week will be good as our first food tasting - having a soup night just a bit worried about the ingredients so might just have some of mine as I'll be worried about meat/dairy in them and stock.

Hard work motivating myself to walk the mile there/back in the cold/dark - if we ever get snow/ice I won't go as I'm too scared of walking in slippy pavements!
 
lol i know what you mean.

I have lost about 8lb since i started, so i am happy, and things feel better, but, i still find myself ordering size 20 & 22 and i find it really frustrating......arrrrrggggghhhhhh!

I think any loss if blooming fantastic, because its not a gain!

If i lived nearer to you i would walk with you, i LOVE winter!

Try not to worry about the soup thing, I'm doing w/w and all i eat at the mo is homemade veg soup because its only 1 point a serving and that is only because of the yummy lentils, but it fills me up, keeps me warm (wont go into detail!) and its sooo low in points. I am sure they will have at least one for you. If not Stacey will (Mrs Wilson doo daaa) lol x

well done x
 
Thank you - yes any loss is a good thing:) It's gains I do not want!

I must get a larger soup flask for work as I love homemade soup.

Yes I will need some motivation if it's snowy/icy as our estate never gets gritted and I have been to a near phobia level in the past walking on it but since I got some ice grips for my shoes last year I am better - but if it's bad weather I shall miss WI/club that week. I only go out to work and back in winter weather!
 
awww i dont blame you really, my best friend has worked herself into a phobia about it, but to be totally honest, its a hard thing to deal with, broken bones and everything.

Good luck with the soup, i have a pint flask that i take to work each day for my din dins x
 

Oh my god ladies...........I have lost 3lbs this week! That for me is incredible as my losses have always been small, usually anything from 0.5lbs to 1.5lbs at the most! :)
