Thanks will have a look into it. Im going down the slimming world route at the moment so I'll see how that goes

Another 3 lbs down. 8.5 lbs down is 3 weeks and my first ever silver 7.

Well done Clodagh thats brilliant you must be delighted with yourself its not easy by anymeans but its so worth it.

Have you checked out the WW website for recipes ??? The archive one is good in the Irish site but thats about it the UK one is better for chat or if you have any queries

Yeah have gone into the Irish one.

A girl I work with is one of the success stories on it. She won slimmer of the year a few years ago.

Haven't tried the UK one.. must have a look.

At this rate I'll have nearly a stone gone by the valentines meet, let alone the Kilkenny one (if that's still going ahead!)

Down 2 lbs. That makes 10.5 lbs down in 4 weeks.

Thats brilliant!!! Well done you!!!

Well done Clo thats brilliant you must be thrilled

Up 1 lb this week.

I'm actually quite pleased with that after the weekend I had. Though it would be a lot worse!

Yeah it does happen now and then Clo but I bet you had a great time over the weekend end enjoyed every minute of it . You're back on track now so you'll make up for it next week

Down another 2 LB

Thats brilliant pet, your on a roll keep up the great work

Well done LL, you are doing good.

Wexy, you will be back on track next week.

Well done Sinead.



FF, I will have that 1 lb gone next week... and a couple more besides (I hope).

Aim is 2 stone by end of June. Well on track so far.

I think everyone is doing great

Thanks Rita

Thanks Clo,

I think every now and then we'll have a week like that but its important to remember its just one week and to get back on track straight away. At least you're in the right frame of mind that it will be gong next week along with a few more.

Roll on the summer we'll all be even skinnier then

I was at the dentist with my son today. While he was getting his filling I was reading a magazine article about weightloss.

One thing they mentioned was the importance of B vitamins. Apparently they can help speed up the metabolism, improve thyroid and liver/kidney function and can help convert fat into energy and stop it being stored by the body. There are other benefits too.

I bought B complex capsules in tesco on the way home but then wondered had I just wasted €2.79 (there is a recession on!!) so I googled "B vitamins and weight loss".

There were loads of articles giving the same information that was in the magazine article. So it would appear to be true... but I had never ever heard it before.

Has anyone else heard of B vitamins being used to help lose weight?

Or any other tips?

Hadn't heard that before Clo.
But when on any type of diet you should be taking a good multi vitamin supliment.

I was told the other day in the health shop that Pine Kernals can help with weight loss. They were almost €6 for the smallish packet so I figured I'd see if they were cheaper elsewhere.

Oh never heard that either.

Must look up pine kernels.

Thanks.

3 lb down!!!!!



1.5 to my first stone. Should reach that next week.

Well done. My scales are stuck! Won't move.

Another 2 lb down only 3 more to go for my stone

Well done both of you.

FF at least they're not moving in the wrong direction so you must be doing something right. Try increasing what you are eating, very slightly, for a couple of days and then decreasing again. It kind of gives the body a nudge.

Used to work for me when I got stuck last time I lost a lot of weight.

Congrats.

Yeah, I'm trying that. Think I might not be eating enough and my body is holding onto whatever I eat.

It's just sooo annoying putting in all the effort watching what I eat, loads of exercise and no result.

well done Mary thats great we'll all be skinny for the xmas night out this year

Yay... well done. Keep it up.

I'm looking forward wearing nice clothes come Xmas.
