words of encouragement

It isn't fate that puts on weight--it's food, food, food.

A boiled dinner will make you thinner, but run and hide from one that's fried.


You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

Dieting is not a piece of cake.

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

Progress Not Perfection


No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change.


Focus on how you will become successful today and forget about the setbacks from yesterday.

CRACKING RESULT

Well, would you Adam & Eve it, a super dooper week to be had by the only two members that could be bothered to weigh in. But it truth be told, you two are my favourites!!!!! mwah

Claire came home with a 3lb loss, and any other week would have been taking the title home of "the biggest loser". But Emma just beat her to the title, having lost a cracking 4lb - woop woop, get in there!!!!

I had a 2lb gain, but I won't go into that. Will just brush this minor hicup under the table. Ive had a word with myself!!!

Well only 4 more weighs ins left, I either want more pounds to be dropped or if you are happy with your weight then you need to maintain it!!!

Now for the science part - CONCENTRATE!!!
One pound of fat contains 3500 so to lose one pound a week, a person should consume approximately 3500 fewer calories per week. This can be done by reducing the daily intake by 500 calories per day.

If this seems impossible, remember that physical activity also contributes a great deal to weight loss.
