no loss for me either. Just the jolt to get my motivation back. Starting with renewed energy this week. Hopefully will be better!

Week 2
Zipped 'em up a little bit this week, but the sinus/hay fever got the better of me.

I'm winding up all the Wii batteries and have ordered a big punch bag - should arrive Tuesday, OH will sort it out next weekend. So I can actually begin the exercise I have wanted to do for ages.

Hopefully I will be OK this time and won't fall asleep for a week (CFS and aneamia really don't help).

So, how do I way in? No change! Hey ho!

Lyric of the week:
Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)
Can't have another eclair
Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)
I gotta decrease my derriere

Weird Al Jankovic

If that doesn't remind me to make a packed lunch I don't know what will

OK ladies. Some of us seem to have hit a bump. Make a little 'pledge of the week' and let's get back on board.

My pledge of the week: exercise for 30 minutes every day.

thank you, im trying to keep up with it but its a big kick in the butt when it happens.. im gonna try harder this week as i did have the odd slip.. just need to kick that energy back into me x

Hey!
I'm back on the wagon. Just got back from a holiday in Italy, lovely but so much gelato!
I hit 138lbs before the holiday but I am now back to 140lb.
Hopefully I will crack down on myself again!
Good luck!

Well this world cup ain't the best idea for me, although I go on holiday at the end of next week, so hopefully that'll help as I usually don't eat as much when abroad and hopefully I'll burn more...............hehe.

Still no change, so still 198/199/195.


FD

Another 2lb loss this week. Feeling better about myself too!

Hey all!

well done starbuck!!
it's gone a little quiet on this thread?
I am still hovering at my 159 - but happy enough, though putting a little more effort at the moment to getting those last couple pounds off...

I walked up a hill yesterday, big one, called the Malverns.

Nearly died, came back down and had an ice cream (very nice, lemon meringue flavour).

Now, I knew my leg would probably give me gip going up hill but I had no idea that the hayfever would turn me into Darth Vader. I literally suddenly started heavy breathing, as though I was utterly knackered and about to die - THAT heavy!

It felt like I was climbing Mount Everest and suddenly reached an altitude I couldn't cope with! It happened again as I walked past lots of wild garlic (walking on the flat) which is how I coulld prove it wasn't being utterly knackered!

So, now I am stiff as a board, feeling hideous, absolutely mortified (walking with colleagues and a PE teacher to boot) and not having lost a pound AGAIN!

Plus side (when I am less stiff) is that I now have my new boxing bag, so I may end up looking like this

Week 3
I ate no eclairs, snuck in a flake and an ice cream though

No change for piggly me!



Come one come all, I'll do your maths every Sunday. My magic calculator is kind to FatChicks!

OK ladies. Some of us seem to have hit a bump. Make a little 'pledge of the week' and let's get back on board.

My pledge of the week: exercise for 30 minutes every day - REALLY!!!!.

hey everyone im still here (just about) everything has to be put on hold for me at the moment as there is stuff happenin in the family, so i dont think id be finishing with u guys.. yesterday i did race for life 10k an raised £300. i want to wish everyone all the best this month, xx p.s yay i finally got my ticker!

Hey Guys,
I'm checking in hoping someone out there can give me a kick up the bum and get me started again :s

I have gotten into a really destructive habit of weighing myself everyday, which is fine when I have lost! Yipee but obviously that doesn't happen everyday. The days where I haven't lost I feel sad and then eat two thick nutella sandwiches as well as my normal breakfast and then two flapjacks on the way to work. Why do I do this when I know its wrong and I am able to give sensible advice to others?!

At the moment I can weigh myself day by day and lose 2 lb then put on 4lb the next day without changing anything in the diet/exercise. If a lb is 3-4000 calories I KNOW I didn;t eat an extra 16000 calories overnight so I don't know why I let it get to me so much

Sorry for the rant. Just getting close to where I wanted to be is driving me nuts especially after looking at old school photos this week. All through school I weighed 187-193lbs so this has been a big change from those times.

Hope you're all staying strong! x

ps BBG was the 10k horrible? my brother signed me up for one in July . . . not looking forward to it!

I have started weighing myself every day too, but I find that it really helps me. If i've lost even slightly I'm super psyched and don't want to blow it, but am realistic that everyday fluctuations will happen and if I put on I just think gotta keep at it.
If it's causing you a problem though, just try and go back to once a week (easier said than done I know)
Don't worry you'll get there.

it was lovely u have a choice of running jogging or walking (if your doing race for life), take ur time and enjoy every moment because your doing something special. i finished it under 2hrs (walked/jogged with my cousin she just had a baby girl so had to take it easy) the best part is dressing up .. an i got snapped in the papers an on the radio web site! x

I'm joining in a bit late, I've lost 8.5 lb in June, plan to get down to 13st something at the end of July.

I'm at 270 started the month at 282 started post at 279
