Let's lose a bit of weight.....

and most of it was on her bum .........she was wearing a bed and I was just waiting for her to say does my bum look big in this ?

Will be having cheese and crackers with soup for lunch for the next week or so till all the fine cheese is used up, better than stuffing my face with it while watching the telly.

That was my downfall today. I had done really well and then after my nutritious evening meal the very fattening expensive cheeses from Christmas Day found a voice and called to me from the fridge. Well, I couldn't ignore them could I?

With you there, Flo - we have a stilton yelling rather loudly at the moment!

I must resist.

I must resist.

Just be happy in your skin - whatever size or shape it is. Eat sensibly and keep moving and the rest will take care of itself. I was never meant to be slim, been there, life was a constant diet - where's the pleasure in that? Now I just eat what I want and don't worry about anything.

I was able to do this until I had kids, indeed it stayed OK for some time after that, but it no longer works, unless I keep an eye on my weight, it creeps up to major-excess ( from 'some excess')

I am in my 60s (!:-( but still run 15-20 miles a week. Have done so for 30 years+.

Eat and drink as much as I like. Still 70kgs and a 32 waist..

Fasting is for fatties, running is for the lean ..:-)

[Glutton4...]

Nah - running is for Nutters! Bad for you.

[Hilary B]

Continuing to run when you have done so for a long time is fine; STARTING running when middle-aged or more is on the "take advice from the doctor" list.....

[Two_Sheds]

Running is great, it really drops the weight off quickly. I guess I'm middle-aged now, or on the way. I had to drop it for about 18 months after I injured my knee, but I've been out twice this year and it feels great, the muscles remember what to do

Hi, I've just stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd share this....

UpDayDownDay Diet™ Plan ? How to Succeed

Has anyone else tried it?
I'm in my early 40's and have always been relatively slim-ish until a few years ago when I started laying on the blubber.

I've never dieted in my life, as coming from a scientific background, diets have never made any sense to me. So I've always tried to exercise and eat sensibly.... But this one made sense, so I gave it a go, started 9 days ago and have lost 3 kg already! My double chin has become a thing of the past :-)) (I'm not interested in the tablets advertised, just the eating pattern).

The 'down days' are quite hard, but the fact that they are followed by an 'up day' means they are do-able. Have even got the girls at work on it now!

Why? For the past 2 ½ years my work colleagues have been trying to loose weight!! Every lunchtime I’m inundated with ‘Are you going to fat club 2nite?’ ‘What colour day are you on?’ ‘How much have you lost this week?’ Each and every time I take a bite out of my sandwich I’m watched with envious eyes…. So what I’m a big girl … the only diet I have ever stuck to is a vegetarian diet.. But I have to listen to their dietary recipes’ and the ‘Haven’t you done well’ so what? Yeah I’m on a diet tooo I intend to be 30 stone by the end of the week!!! How much longer do I have to suffer this? It’s my lunch break too … Why do I have to feel guilty for eating a cheese sandwich?…. Why can’t you eat chocolate?? It’s my new years resolution to put an end to it… loosing weight is a private thing… why involve everyone in the coffee room…I will loose weight when I’m ready, and then only then I won’t broadcast it to the whole department … oooowwww look at me it’s a purple day … I’m gonna eat empty teabags…. I’m not bitter or a diet failure but PLEASE let me eat my lunch in peace.

[Florence Fennel]

With respect Broomstix (welcome to the Vine BTW) this thread is about losing weight, so if you're not interested in losing weight, shouldn't you be checking out other threads? Anyway, cheer up, your colleagues are obviously jealous that you eat what you want to!

It's LOSE!!! lose weight = loose clothes!

New Year's resolution - WITH an APOSTROPHE!

You're not Bitter? Neither am I! Mild, sometimes, but mainly I'm STOUT!

[Glutton4...]

Well, you came on here criticising US!

[petal]

Hmmm, as a recent ex smoker- i have noticed smoker friends get very defensive like this when they are doing something they know they should not be doing and its going to kill them.......

Good Morning, what's happening here. Have you all broken New Year's resolutions already!!!

I've been at Slimming World since the beginning of November, Christmas was tough, but it's back heading in the right direction now. I picked up my Third sticker last week, woohoo!!, I'm sorry the happy clapping does little to motivate me. The group scales though.....thats a different matter. A finite point in time, you can't cheat it, you can't put it back a day.

How are you all doing.....or am I on my own.
