Joy1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi everyone, happy New Year![:D] I hope that you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed yourselves! I thought I'd get the ball rolling for 2008 by starting a new thread, and get myself back on the "straight and narrow"! I have weighed myself this morning, and amazingly have only put on 1lb despite eating and drinking what ever I felt like over Christmas - I am truly amazed as I normally gain at least 5lb over Christmas, perhaps the vitamin pills are working and my metabolism has speeded up a bit, and of coursr I have continued to stay off bread. (I did eat some on New Years eve bur suffered pain and bloating all day yesterday, so never again[6]) I still have some chocolates to eat and other nibbles so don't expect much loss by next Tuesday! See you all soon, Joy X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's OK Joy - I put on your other 4lb[:)] - now you know where it has gone! I have eaten everything and lots of it over Xmas and New Year. I gave up dieting last year because I just couldn't get motivated, but I really feel like going for it this time. So lots of exercise, a bit less food and hopefully a lot of weight loss. I'm never going to be Twiggy and part of my problem is that I don't actually care enough to make to much effort - thin just isn't that important. But I do need to get rid of the excess so Happy New Year and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I weighed myself and took all my measurements this morning. I dug out my old diary from 2006 where I'd noted my diet achievements and found than two years to the day later I am over a kilo lighter but all my measurements are bigger - the worst being my waist at over 5cm larger. How's that then? Same scales, same tape measure. The approach of the menopause I suspect.Have started the new regime with a two hour dog walk this morning. Yesterday was my birthday so we had a blow out 9 course resto lunch with champagne and wine, from today it's alcohol free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'll add myself to the band of dieters. I've had four months off work (surgery * 2 to reconstruct my knee after an accident) which has meant too much eating (boredom) and not enough exercise (knee like a melon) and I'm now showing the effects. I still have to have regular physio for another 6 months which should help but still need to cut out the choccies, booze, biscuits, more booze etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolly daydream Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I lost 4 lbs over xmas and new year but I have had food poisoning since 17th Dec and still lingering. Not a diet I would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy1 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Welcome to all fellow healthy eaters! Poor you dolly daydream! Definately not a diet to recommend[+o(] Here's to a good week for us all, see you all back here next Tuesday (the usual day for weighing in!) I won't be too strict with myself this week, there's still lots of Christmas left over goodies to eat! Why OH why do I always buy too much!!

AnOther Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thinking of joining in as I'm creeping up a bit. I'm normally quite stable around 98 kg but after a hearty Christmas and New Year offshore not sure I even want to get on the scales when I get home.Biggest problem for me is temptation.Offshore being a round the clock operation if I want to I can eat a 3 course meal every 8 hours, plus cheese and biscuits of course, and if I get peckish in between I can grab a bit of cold meat or something and make myself a sandwich !Not saying I do indulge as above of course you understand [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy1 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello, where is everyone today? I have stayed the same this week, but I have had a horrible throat infection and cold[:(] so have,t really tried very hard. Still delighted to have only gained 1lb over the festive period, despite 4 meals out and lots of chocolate! Welcome again to all new healthy eaters, and hello to the faithful from last year. Here's to a brilliant and slimmer 2008! Love, JoyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqui Too Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm here[:)]Well I think I am abut the same as last week scales don't really show such small differences.Most of the Christmas choccies have gone now or have been put in the bin : my best friend bought me a huge Thornton's chocolate and nougat concoction made up of an outer case of chocolate nougat about 6" across and 2" tall filled with allsorts of chocolate goodies, I did eat some of the inside pieces but eventually put it in the bin (hope he doesn't find out)Haven't got much time now as I have to go and muck out my horse.Try and post again later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Seem to be back down to my norm of 98kg without really making any deliberate effort but like you Geordie girl, I too have been a bit queer with a funny tummy over the last 3 or 4 days so not been eating or drinking so much.I don't know where I expect to end up, I don't have a target, I'll leave those to the UK government, but every kilo will be to the good [;-)]Both me and 'er indoors have started taking morning walks with our neighbour and her dog, can't do any harm !

Clair Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 How I hate the word diet...[:'(] I've changed the title above [Www]I have just had a bowl of the veg soup I made 30 mn ago. Feeling rather lazy, I quickly grated a carrot, a courgette, some tomatoes and a couple of sticks of celery through the Magimix, dumped the lot in a pan, added 1 l of water and 3 tbsp of Marigold bouillon. Delicious!... and no potatoes (I'm determined to reduce the carbs) [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suninfrance Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello everyone - I'm here too and hoping to lose a few kilos. I lost half a stone before Christmas because I had really bad flu and couldn't face food. I'm over that now, but would like to try and keep the weight off and reduce it too.Have just come back from shopping armed with my Special K and loads of veg to make soup for this evening. After the last couple of years struggling to lose weight and only succeeding in putting it on, let's hope 2008 will be different and that my resolve to lose will become a reality.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi everyone. Can I join too?? I began the weight watchers point system healthy eating plan ( I also don't like the word diet) on 2nd January 2008. I weighed myself this Tuesday and have lost 3lb. It really works for me although I know it doesn't work for everyone. I want to lose about 12LBS in all so will keep at it for now.My problem is excercise - can't stand it !!!
