Hi Chicks

Hey Veggie, get ya calculator out cause in the absence of Sarah I think you should be doing this ;-)

Tonight I lost 3 LBs so this low carb business really works.

So with the 1lb I lost last week that's 4lb gone towards my hols.

Seriously though, I need some ideas now on this low carb. I would like to find out what kind of amount I can have each day and still lose on. Atkins is a bit drastic but it has given me a boost, and one which I needed.

Anyone recomend a good book, pref a UK one which isn't quite so strict. I have the Eat Fat, Get Thin one but that allows 65 grams per day and I think that may be a bit high for now.

Hi everyone

Well done on your 4lbs Kim that is brilliant

Well my weigh in day wasn't a brilliant one again and I was really depressed about it again...I had stayed the same as last week. I know I shouldn't let it get to me so much but it is really frustrating when I know I am doing everything right...well I was until last week the only thing I know I didn't do right was exercise. I didn't manage to get to the gym because I was working such long hours all last week. so I have to put the static weight down to that, its about the only thing I can blame it on because my eating went really well.
After saying I was really depressed about it, I decided that as I haven't measured myself for such a long time I would do that and see if that could cheer me up any...oh boy did it ever. I looked back through my journal and the last time I made an entry for my measurements was december 29th and they were 51-44-52.5 today they were 46-40-48.5 that is a total of 13 inches that is just amazing...at the end of the day it is the inches lost that I am most interested in so I felt really pleased with that and not depressed about the static weight this week anymore, I feel really good again
Someone else also sent me a website address for a girl who was losing weight and she said the closer she got to her goal weight the more her weight loss seemed to go in cycles...she would have a few good weeks losses and her skin would feel loose then she would stay the same again for a couple of weeks and her skin seemed to catch up...maybe that is what is happening, I have to admit that even though I have had a few weeks of staying the same weight, I do seem to feel slimmer, so that could be exactly what is happening. well it makes me feel better to think it is so I am going to carry on thinking it

Well I'll have to make this short and sweet I have loads to do this evening and I have the house all to myself, hubby has taken son to see star wars so once I have everything done I can watch whatever I want on the tv without having to fight for the remote...that will be a novelty

Have a great weekend everyone

wow posy what a lot of inches you missing , i too have started keeping note of inches now, because there are times i know ive had a loss and scales dont show it but i feel it in the same way i feel if if ive stayed same or gained, you keep going your doing and have done ever so well you must have same leve of will power as my 2 yrs old whew ill have to tell youse all about her one day grrrrrrrrr lol

Losers I applaud you - (am in a dramatic mood this morning) Kim if I didn't like you so much I would hate you, 222 to 178. Just shows me what I could be doing if I could put my mind to it.

To anyone who didn't lose - come on we can do it, We all used to post losses so why not start make that extra effort again. My weight change is on a par with Veggies although a stone on in the last couple of weeks may be a bit of a conversative estimate on my behalf............

One day soon I will stand on the scales again and face up to everything - am doing too much at the moment I know and not leaving enough time for me - but I am working on it.

carol, once things at home/work settle down you know youll get back to this, you have to ill bug yah every day until you do ..........ill let you off just now though ok

I'm gone five minutes and you all stop weighing yourselves!!! What happened??????

Come on everyone - jump on those scales and I'll do my usual Monday round up starting afresh next week.

Well... I haven't been as good as I should - I have tried but it was really hard dieting on my own without the support I get here. I started afresh with my diet last Monday - who's going to join me???

Come on girls lets shift a few pounds before we put on those pretty summer clothes!

I haven't heard anything about the slimming club tonight so I am going and hopefully there will be one and lady who runs it will be slimmer of the week having given birth last week.
I will let you know later, all this exercise must be good for accelerating weight loss, pleeeeze!!
