The See Less of You Club Forums

Hi

I was chatting to Sonesta over the New Year and I think it was Chris of Damondunc who came up with the name of the thread - The See Less of You Club.

New Year talk, after the indulgences of Christmas always heads for the "I must lose weight" topic.

I have been on a diet for weeks now looking for calories on things and the like but its a lonely trek.

We were talking about a thread here where we could post our daily weight (an incentive to lose) and chat about what we have eaten etc. One thing that is recommended is to write down what you have eaten during the day so we could post that as well.

Would people be interested or is just one portion of chips too much, which incidently Shona has just gone to fetch Crying or Very sad

Hi Stew!

Yes, it was Chris who came up with the name. I had just announced that I was keen to get my weight down this year so hopefully you will "see less of me" the next time you see me and Chris suggested "THE SEE LESS OF YOU CLUB" I think that is a great name and yes I am keen to be a member of it too!

Like you I am determined to shed the flab and I think if we all get together and try to spur one another on and post recipes and ideas we could all benefit from one another's support. As you can probably tell from meeting me I have a lot to lose and I think it would be helfpul to have a thread where those amongst us who are also battling the bulge can post on whenever they feel they need a bit of encouragement or fancy some support and motivation.

I know this sounds stupid and I wonder if anyone else feels like me but I personally have to be in the right frame of mind in order to get back on the right track to eating healthier again and after all the christmas festivities etc I need that extra shove at the moment to get myself motivated again! Thankfully, once I am motivated I enjoy eating healthy food far more than the crap I have been shoving down my throat the past 2 or 3 weeks but it's keeping in the right mind set that is my problem. Hopefully, if enough of us join in this thread we can all motivate one and other and who knows ............. this time next year "THE SEE LESS OF YOU CLUB" may well have changed a lot of our lives for the better!

I am willing to be the control subject... eating normal amounts and staying fat.

Very good idea Stew, and an opportunity for some good natured "encouragement" which we all need, or we wouldn't be trying to slim. Rolling Eyes

Trouble is I would probably lie in my teeth if I didn't do too well, and I bet I'm not the only recalcitrant little toerag on this forum. Embarassed

Give it a try anyway. Losing weight is not easy, and anything that can turn it into a more pleasant experience and motivate a few of us has got to be worth a try.

I won't be joining of course as I'm only 7 stones dripping wet! Shocked

Hi Stu,

Interesting idea. You know the basis of weight is about calories in and calories out!

I have been a firm believer all my life that you should NEVER diet but eat sensibly. The most important thing is to exercise. As we get older we do less and less of this with more and more sitting around. Meaning less calories out!

The way I run my business I end up spending more time in the office than getting out which once again means less calories out.

To get over this problem I have Precor EFX544 cross trainer, a multi gym, static bike and rowing machine, all currently in the office. I finish work an hour early and work out. Apart from over the Christmas period where I was on the road being Father Christmas to my customers, so put a bit of weight on.

Claire gets up at 06:30 every weekday morning and goes swimming and she really enjoys it.

Seems to me that we MH'ers could get up early and go for a jog around the park!

Regards

Chris
ps. I will get a schedule ready for you when you come over next week Laughing

Your house had better be the club house then as we were going to make your our heroine Laughing

How much has she lost.

So your avatar is a portrait Zeb Laughing

. You could be right about the little fibs but who are they fooling.

Nette - you can always catch up if you want a delayed start Laughing

I remember a few years ago decidng I was going to lose weight and I lost three stone just like that by not eating after 6pm. These days, older as I am it seems so much harder to lose weight.

I reckon it might prove popular Sue
