You would think that having lost another 3 pounds last week - making 8 pounds in 2 weeks- that i would still be full of enthusiasm, the fact is though, i'm not.
My enthusiasm this week seems to be rather soggy! I have not had even 1 good day's dieting so far (my week starts Monday)
I am determined not to give up alltogether but i do feel like giving up this week as i know i will have put on anyway.
I know everyone has bad days, even bad weeks so please give me some encouragement to carry on, i know that if i can have just 1 good days dieting then the days following will be ok too.
Thanks in advance for your help and encouragement.
Oh god tell me about it! The days when I was so into loosing weight seem dim and distant! I think I just need to decide on a date and just DO IT. Maybe we should decide together and no slacking (??!!)
I too have been a bit lax (to say the least!!) been to loads of leaving do's end of term bash etc food drink, drink food. Now I have come home laden with boxes of choccies and 7 (!) bottles of wine!!. I am going to have a very good week this week and then try to relax and enjoy my hols. When i get back from France it is back to a slimming club for sure!!
Hi. I was enthusiastic and then went wild eating all this food tonight. That's not very encouraging is it? Okay, I need to start all over and forget all the binges and get on with it asap. When you are ready again you will know and you will tackle it. Hope this helps.
I haven't been to my slimming club since the end of May and have been busy staying the same weight and gaining /losing the same 2lb. I feel good that I am now a size 16 and not a size 26 but I know I still need to lose more. My exercise routine has gone out the window for the last couple of weeks and I feel even more tired than usual. I managed to take my son swimming for 2 hours yesterday but spent most of that time chatting to other mum's in the pool.
Hang inthere everyone we can do it, we really can. It's all about choices and making the right one. Short term satisfactions aren't worth it go for the long term ambitions every time !!
Hi!
I would like to give a word of encouragement. I know I am a beginner, but I am a beginner after a lifetime of yo-yo's. I feel that a diet does not define a person. If you did not follow "the plan" to a T you are still a valuable person. We believe in so many lies that make us feel like loosers.

I remember one tactic that helped me stay motivated in the past was to think like a thin person. What would a thin person eat? (I think I imagined myself as the person I always wanted to be and began to act like her.)
I too have been off track a lot recently. At the beginning of the year I lost over a stone and have steadily put it all back on again. I am starting afresh this morning, but know it is going to be a big struggle - but if we all stick together we can do.
My tactic is to do it one day at a time and if the day seems to long then I'll do it hour by hour.
Hi All, I recently joined weight watcher's as I have been using giving birth to my kids as my excuse for being overweight - my daughter is now 3 and a half (youngest). Also I returned to school last year and put on weight all on my own doing. I went to the Doctor for a check up and she commented on the weight gain and how last year we had talked about weight watcher's!! My family has a very poor history of heart disease and stroke therefore I have decided I want to give myself the best possible chance of avoiding been stricken down at an early age......gloomy I know. So far I have lost 8.4lbs in one month, and I feel better not quite so tired.
My next step is to actually start exercising.......I find it difficult with two young kids and school. I am hoping to use the school gym although it is not a very nice atmosphere - dark and away in the back of a gymnasium!!
Anyway, I hope to get chatting to some people and maybe we can help each other through those tough days........especially the ones where you are trying to remember why we can't have that nice ice cream or bar of chocolate!!
Hi Healthy heart, keep up the good work, sounds like you're off to a good start. Tell us some more about yourself...there's a 'hello I'm' thread somewhere up the top I think......I'm Chris by the way Hi.
Hi everyone,
haven't been into 3 fat chicks for awhile. I came across this thread and you all sound great & normal. We all make mistakes in our eating, I have been doing it for many years, lose & gain.
I am right now trying to just eat healthier and less portions.
walking more(inside the house though, the mesqitos are awfull this year, bug spray isn't helping.) I've been doing 3 15 minute walks a day. I want to start on the exercise bike tomorrow. A little at a time I guess. What weight loss plans are the rest of you on?
I would like to lose 60 lbs. I have been off work for 6 weeks because of a shoulder injury, I gained 10 lbs. I still will be off work for another month but I am able to do more things than before because the pain isn't as bad. I noticed the gain when my pants felt tight ( the darn dryer again) well stepped on the scale and oh boy it wasn't the dryer. Well talk to you later.
Have a great day......
In need of encouragement
