Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to our Online Class. I hope this finds you all well.

Today I am going to talk about taking care of ourselves and how important this is. We need to look after ourselves well. Like a car we function better when we are well maintained and fuel ourselves properly.


Of course we should have the occasional treat, as we know nothing is forbidden with the SS plan, but remember to have as much fruit and veg as possible. We can have 2 pieces of fruit (or 1 if having something like a banana) within our checks and count any more than this onto our checks. We can eat most veg freely. Just check your PEP complete book for what veggies we have to count. 


The recommended amount of fruit and veg we eat is as you probably know is 5 a day, but realistically we may not always achieve this, but this is what we should aim for.


Are we all getting enough exercise? Today I cycled back from Buckie (my local town) and felt invigorated by doing it. Exercise can be FREE and FUN to do, so come on get all these limbs working again.


If you are going away on your holidays - ENJOY!!! But remember not to totally go over your checks or you'll regret it when you come back and go on the scales. Conversely, you should be happy with a STS when you return if you try and fit in as much exercise as you can while you are away, even if it is just walking and seeing the sights.


Well onto the results, who is the STAR this week???


Tracy you are!!! - You  lost a couple of pounds and are now within reach of your target weight again. Well done you! .

Well done to everyone else too, we all managed to lose half a stone between us, had NO gains and 4 STS.


Well, I better go for now, but please feel free to record your results here.


I will be off from next week for a couple of weeks if Tracy can kindly step in for me (fingers crossed), so I wish you all well and good luck. You're all doing so well and I am proud of you. x  .

Hello Peeps
2lbs loss for me this week

Feel so good today also as someone i met today never recognized me at first,and its only been a couple of months since we last spoke,That can only be a good thing and makes you feel great that folk notice

Still not been out on the bike,just not enough hours in the day (always next year lol)

2lbs on for me - sorry x

2 and a half pounds off for me this week.

Need to focus this week and try and avoid mid-week drinks after work!!

Well done Pete!!! Hope you get out on your bike soon, you'll feel better for it. x

Well done!! . x

Aww, don't worry Shirls, you'll have that off in no time. x

THANKYOU FOR MAKING ME STAR OF THE WEEK THAT IS GREAT .
Well i have not been well and have spent most of my time in bed i havent ate untill last night when i had a slice of toast and managed to keep it down
Anyway i am going to give this weeks weigh in a miss but will be popping in and out to see how your all doing and i'll be here next week doing the online class and posting my results so GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

I've been given a lucky escape and have stayed the same this week, again. I've been this weight more or less for quite a few weeks now but am so pleased not to be significantly heavier=which to be honest I deserve to be. I've been struggling with summer holiday eating (visiting friends, lunches out, more takeaways...) and am now on a mini challenge with a couple of e-support members to lose 8lb in 6 weeks. I would then be 2 stone and 5 months away from my target weight so bring it on!!

Hia slimmers
Happy to report 4 lbs OFF me this week woohooo
xxx

Sorry guys half a pound on for me

Have a sickness and diarhea bug this week (sorry if too much info)

Someone said my body could be storing food to help fight my illness!?

Hopefully it'll come off next week!!

Xx

Stay the same is good singingmum how about just making a small change to your plan as it may help.

WOW 4lb ewitka that is fab well done

Rebelsue2 i have also been in the same boat this week but i played chicken and didn't weigh in so well done it was only a small gain and like you say you'll have that off in no time + more

I know what u mean, I Nearly didn't weigh cos I felt so bad, but I did so I'm just gonna have to live with that gain!! Haha

Got some tablets from boots and starting to feel more like myself today so we'll see what next week brings!!

Everyone doing great this week tho well done guys xx

 Sorry I haven't been replying to you folks, it hasn't been deliberate or anything, its just my membership expired a few days ago and I've only had money to resubscribe today. 

Thanks Tracy for filling in for me. 

Take care everyone and well done for sticking in even if there is a small gain or STS. x

Well done Ewitka!!!  . Thats FAB! x

You're welcome for me making you a the STAR of the week Trace, you deserve it! Sorry for just replying now, but as just explained my subscription ran out and I only had money today to resubscribe.


Thats good you're feeling better now, I've had a bit of headache this morning (think its because I didn't sleep too well last night). Anyway feeling a bit better now.

Thanks for  stepping in and doing next weeks Online Class, you're a pal. Take care, Catrina. x   .

Good luck for next week singingmum. I think losing 8lbs in 6 weeks is achievable. All the best, Catrina. x

Aww, don't worry rebelsue, half a pound is nothing at all, you'll have that off in no time. Take care and hope you feel better soon. x

NOT BEEN ON HERE MUCH BUT I DO NEED TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER,I LOST 1LB THIS WEEK,SO AS I WAS NOT VERY GOOD I WAS HAPPY WITH THAT

1.5 off for me

Hi all well lost another 1lb this week which is good but things are not so good as hubby went for an angigram on Monday and is now waiting to go up to the Golden Jubilee for emergency bypass. We werent expecting that. When he gets word I will be moving in with daughter in Stirling so that she can take me to the hospital as I dont drive and I would find it diffiuclt to get there from Kilmarnock.

Anyway hope you are all well and I will do my best to stick to the diet

Liz

Well done Margaret! Welcome back!! A pound loss, thats good in the right direction. x

Oh gosh Liz, I hope you're husband gets better soon. Don't worry about the diet, just try and keep yourself well and not overeat too much as that will just add to your problems and make you feel worse! Take care. Lots of love, Catrina. x

Well done Rosie, thats a great loss!!!  . You're doing brilliant!! xxx
