I must admit, alcohol is my only failing - not excessive amounts, but I do enjoy proper ales and ciders too much to just cut them out and make my loss that little bit quicker!

Ditto, I have a friend who shed tons of weight by doing nothing more than quitting ale and sticking to wine, but if I followed suit I think my liver might fall out.

I've had the 1 bottle of wine on a Saturday night for the last couple of weeks and 3, 500ml, bottles of beer. I've since noticed my weight rate has dropped off slightly. Still losing the lb's but not as much. I am close to my target weight so that doesn't bother me. I just don't want to start to slip back into my old drinking habit and start putting the weight back on.

Tricky, isn't it? I am now 14lbs from the rough goal weight I had identified for myself. I noticed my losses have really slowed down over the past month but this is partly due to some blow out weekends away (with no real exercise) and partly by design (upped my daily calories by a few hundred). I think of it like stopping a speeding train right by the platform and not over-shooting! 1 - 2lbs/week is acceptable to me now, although I had been losing 4 - 4.5 per week solidly for 5 months previous. I don't want to slip back into old ways and the losses are the motivation, for me.

According to our bathroom scales (Weighed nekkid before brekkie) I'm now 12st 7lb's . This is the target weight I'd set myself. Just need to have this checked Saturday morning by our consultant. I'm usually 2lb more on hers. Still got 2 days to go and have to maintain this weight.

Decided to hit the gym in January, booked in with a trainer to get a proper gym plan... Wasn't expecting a weigh in, and shocked myself at the weight I was carrying! I was put on various machines after a consultation of what I wanted to achieve, and I had a full on wobbly leg moment getting off one!
A few years ago I lost 5.5 stone following Slimming World and exercising (mostly in a gym). I hit my target weight, which following BMI was still classed as overweight, but health checks showed I wasn't. I was jogging up hills, walked Ben Lomond comfortably in a quick time... then I got laid off work, my relationship fell apart and I slowly put the weight back on over a few years, much to my frustration!
Anyhow, I've now lost 2 stone and a huge amount of inches, just through exercise. It has slowed now, as I'm also building muscle because of the exercise... Reckon it's time to follow the Slimming World ways again, but I love my real Ales and proper cider too much!

Want to lose half a stone before I tackle the Way of the Roses in June so just finished first week of cutting back. One pound down. 6 weeks to go until d day so if can maintain a pound a week I'll just manage it. I'm gonna post here to use it as an incentive. Don't want to have to face the shame of putting weight on or not losing each week.

Try sleeping both days.You are going to be even more thinner if you sleep and don't eat all

You don't have to pay £26 for a starter pack. Join a local group - it's cheaper.
£26 would get you membership and four group sessions.
The starter pack is not that great by itself - you get a seven day menu a couple of exercise logs, a bunch of food diaries and lists of foods and their 'syn' values and not much else. Buying the starter pack would be a wast of money.
