Robsia - can I ask you a rude question? I saw you lost a LOT of weight, CONGRATS!! I'm wondering if you have any stretch marks or loose skin, etc. If that's too personal, please ignore me!

I do have some stretch marks and loose skin on my belly although it's hard to say how much of that is down to carrying two babies in it. Impossible to say really - I would imagine it is a bit of both, being pregnant twice and also being overweight. I don't have any stretch marks or loose skin elsewhere.

Thanks for answering! I was wondering because I have stretch marks on my tummy, butt, and thighs from losing 20 pounds in 3 months two years ago. I've been trying to figure out why this happened since 20 pounds isn't as much as a lot of you ladies have lost!

mini, I would guess the stretch marks are from the gain, not the loss. c'est la vie when the recession ends lets all get nips and tucks

a little annoyed. after doing so well on my night out I ate too many cals for a loss (2200ish) and saw 124.5 on the scale.
cals today 1800ish. not particularly psyched about scale in the am. pushing fluids and cutting myself off from all things requiring chewing.

heeelllloooooo???

started week at 125.5 today back to 124.5.
what did I say about striving for those last 5? this requires hard er core concentration. goal: eat clean, avoid multiple splurges in one week.

Still kicking. Weight holding steady at 143 but eating has been a bit out of control so I am expecting to see it go up. The other day I got on my scale and it read 106 - obviously it was broken but it was kind of cool to see that number. A girl can dream. I am going to get my eating back on track right now before I regret it.

LOL timetistart ... one morning I weighted LO Bat ...

I'm still hovering in the low 140's too. I think ... I think ... work should be back to ordinary normal by next week and that should help. A normal routine is so much better for me. Regular snacks, regular exercise ... regular sleep

Good morning!

My DH and I went to Cornwall this weekend to meet Ilene and her DH. What lovely people!

This morning I have a couple of pounds of that travel/vacation puff but nothing I'm too worried about. I wonder what I could serve at my Aloette party tonight that would be lean and clean and healthy ....

Susan and every else ... Yep, I'm up a bit too from bloat. Hopefully the 25k bike ride I just did will burn a few calories. After seeing those pics Susan I really need to lose a few...

Hi everyone - hope some of you might remember me from before. I also hope that I'm not gonna get kicked out of the Featherweights section for misdescription!

I have managed to increase my weight from 138 to 159 since February. Not impressed. I have been faffing around by myself but having as many terrible days as good ones has meant that my weight's stayed the same. I've just come back from Paris and I was so ashamed as everyone there was so tiny. In a country where everyone's so fat I'm one of the thinner ones but going to a "normal" society was a real wake up call for me. So I'm back. Again.

Good morning!

Hi Doughnut!

Not much new to report. I served cut up fruit and cheese cubes at my Aloette party and it went over very well. I was hoping to have enough left over for my lunch today but ....
