Good morning folks and welcome to yet another Online Class. I hope this finds you all well and raring to go for another good pepping week ahead!  .

I will start by telling you of our amazing loss from last week of just over 2 STONES!!!! Incredible! Well done everyone! Keep it up! 

We had a small gain of 4 lbs and no STS. 


Kateyboo is the trophy winner of the week, with losing a few pounds, making her total loss of over a STONE!!! Well done you! .

Melanies, Ewitka and Audrey all had fantastic loss results as well, so well done girls!      .

Right ok, now on for this weeks "talk". I thought I would "talk" about a few things today.

Firstly, takeaways. How you can make your own a lot cheaper and healthier than buying/getting them in. I made a lovely piece of fish in breadcrumbs at the weekend with a few home-made chips and it was delicious!  .

There are recipies for curries out of the PEP complete book and think how good it feels when we know that we haven't blown all our checks on a calorific curry from the supermarket or the indians/chinese.

Next, alcohol - enjoy a drink, but like everything else moderation is the key.

Sweeties/biscuits and crisps - my advice would be only get them in if you can resist temptation and not eat too many, or if you can't or find it difficult to and have to get them in for your kids/husband it is a good idea to put them on the top shelf of the kitchen cupboard, so you have to think twice before eating them!


Diet fizzy juice - although low in calories can still rot your teeth. Try and have occasionally.


Fruit and veg - eat more if you can and choose a variety to stop the boredom.


Exercise - doesn't have to mean spending loads of time at the gym, keeping active can burn those calories just as well. Doing the housework, gardening, taking the dog for a walk, washing the car, windows, ironing e.t.c. can help your weight loss and keeps your metabolism ticking along nicely.


If your weight loss is slowing down however, don't become despondent. If you're a woman it could be water retention if you are due your periods. Also, remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so if you've been working hard exercising and don't lose anything it could be this - DON'T GIVE UP!!!


Now, its over to you. Lets be stepping on these scales and giving us your results. And welcome to any newbies, we're all happy to have you join us...


GOOD LUCK FOLKS! X 

Just a wee half off for me this week
I'm okay with that tho, as didn't expect the 1.5lbs off last week, and have had a few munchy days
Am off this week & plan to dust down the wii fit x

 Well done Shirls!!! It's going in the right direction. And good idea getting the wii fit out! All the best, Catrina. x

Well done shirls! A half pound off is better than a sts or half pound on! It a step in the right direction - keep it going!

Went on the wii fit plus - just to do a body test. It had been 63 days since i was last on it, and had gained 1lb in that time. Told you's all i was messing with the same few lbs (note, i said WAS!!!) haha x

Ignore your wii fit scale - mine is 4lb out - seriously. I have to set it to take away 4lbs in order to make it accurate.

Well done you! You're on a roll now

Hi Folks!

I am STS this week. Not too worried as I was so unwell last week I was eating a funny mixture of stuff. I left my digital scales in school and am using my old fashioned ones and they are a bit hit or miss. Only marked in 2lb intervals so makes it a bit hard to tell!! Might invest in a cheap set of digital ones.

Have a good week everyone

Mel

Ok, thanks Mel for reporting in. Hope you manage to get digital scales soon, they really are more accurate aren't they? x

Hello and well done for those results above

1lb loss for me this week folks,happy enough with that i guess
5lbs to go for my 5 stone loss

Well thats a week i have had my bike now (£300 blimin quid) and i have used it once lol

Was at Gym sunday and got a message saying i have not reached my targets so i replied "Yes i know i do have a job and a life also" But to be fair i know i have not done as much,but i have be doing other cardio

Its not like i have been sitting around all week (well apart from driving a bus lol),but


Must try harder!!!

hi everyone been having computer problems so apologise for not posting .
So i had a really good week and had a sneaky peek at the scales which said the complete oppsite to what i thought.
So i was very down but continued to be good and went to class tonight and happy to report a 2lb loss and now have 3.5lb to lose

Well done you

Yes sneaky peeks of scales are evil

 Well done Tracy!! Thats a fantastic loss!! You'll soon be at your target weight again and am proud that you stuck at it despite having a wee sneaky look at the scales earlier on and seeing a wee gain. Onwards and downwards from now on then eh? (with regards to weight that is!). Take care, Catrina. x

 Well done Pete!! Is that just 5lbs you need to lose now and you'll be at target weight? You don't need to lose that much more I'm guessing with that photo you put in not so long ago. Take care. x

morning gang
sts for me this week. makes me happy tho, as i know it will be down soon again
have a great week
xxx

awww shucks! thanks Catrina

Happy to report another 1lb lost this week - I did want 2 so I could be back in the 13st bracket - so fingers crossed for next week.

Well done everyone!

x

That would take me down to 16 stone (was 21.1)
TBH i am not too fussed about the weight,more the size if you know what i mean

Down from a W48 trouser to W42 and chest is down from 52-48 and collor down from 18.5 to 17

My true target is W40 and no man boobs lol,so if that means loosing more weight then thats what it will take

Half a pound off for me this week, happy with that cos it's totm and feeling fat!

Hopefully a big loss next week!!

xx

Good on you for your positive attitude ewitka!  . Yeah, you'll probably have a loss next week. Have a great week too. x

You'll almost be at your waist measurement then Pete . I don't know about the man boob situation, hopefully that will be reduced when you lose the last few pounds and tone up at the gym with weights. Good luck, you're doing great! x

P.S. I could say something about you men all worrying about your size, but I'm not going to lower the tone of the SS site!!! . 

 Well done kateyboo, you're welcome for the special mention, you deserved it! You're a true STAR!! Take care, Catrina. x

Pete lets call your man boobs

MOOBS!!! well done you have done soooooo well and i could lower the tone but i will leave it to another retrobate xxxx

What are you two like x
