Just updated my stats and realised i am exactly half way there,a great feling but still a bit daunting.
DH just had me lifting a bag of compost that weighs 4 stone, one thing how did i manage to carry it?? Next thing to think about, I am still carrying at least that amount in excess weight....oohhhhhh!!

Well done all loser's stay the samer's and chin up any gainers. I bought a set of scales this week and jumped on them last night, if they are the same as WW then I've stayed the same and that was a big surprise cos I have been very bad...even consumed alcohol at the weekend
I am in agony with my shoulder injury right now. Have to go back to the docs again on Monday, he has me on some mega dosage drugs but they only seem to be keeping the pain away for about an hour now....poor me...
Right, that's it from me in pain. I hope you're all feeling very sorry for me.....hehe!
Have a great week all.
Chris.

WELL DONE TQ!!!!!

You are such an inspiration to us all - I also have about 8 stone to loose in total but i would be so proud to be where you are today.


Britinnj - what have you done to your shoulder??? Have i missed something? Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Tracy!! i feel inspired after holding up that sack of compost, my first thoughts were how on earth did i carry it around all day, run up and down stairs (well I didn't run !!). i do feel so much better, fitter, healthier and more well alive I suppose. Then the thought crossed my mind that I am still carrying at least that much excess weight around me.

I don't find it easy and each day brings a different temptation or challenge. I am feeling motivated to carry on though every time I am faced with something I make a decision, sometimes I choose to eat/drink whatever and sometimes i decline. Whenever I decide to go ahead and indulge I never feel guilty about it, I just have a 'lean' day after it, so far this has worked. i don't mean i starve either, i make soup from free veg, eat massive salads etc.

I am a great one for planning and always plan for weekends away etc and try to make good choices but still enjoy myself and treat myself.

I still have a long way to go but with everyones help pout there I know I can get there, we all can

Well done to everybody and to those you need a hug cos they gained here you are {{{{{{{{{{HUG }}}}}}}}}}}.

Phoebe I have been drinking too much as well - far too much for my health and my weight - so much for my master plan. The eating has been not bad but the drinking will have me gaining. There is no alcohol in the house tonight - so no excuse.

Hi everyone

hope you have all had a great week. I can't believe how quickly this week has flown by, must be because I have been so busy at work.

I have been working hard on adjusting my attitude and I have not been too bad this week, but I do admit I am really nervous about tomorrows weigh in. I have done really good with the eating and exercise and TOM has finished, so there is no reason at all that it should be disappointing, unless of course it is that dreaded plateau.
Everyone I talk to who tell me how disappointed and depressed they get when they reach that dreaded plateau stage...I tell them to just keep on doing what they have been doing and hang in there, the weight will start to come off again. It isn't until it happens to you that you really understand how difficult it is to keep your mind focused.
Well we will just have to wait and see, but no matter what the scales say tomorrow, I am still going to be proud of myself, because I haven't given in, I am still being strong and doing exactly what I have always done

Pippy thanks for the encouragement. I started this journey 15 months ago...initially just calorie counting..allowing myself 1500 calories a day, then in november last year I joined my local gym and I now do a 2 hour session 3 times a week

Well bed time...need to get my beauty sleep and be all refreshed for tomorrows weigh in
good luck to everyone else who weighs in tomorrow

Hello

Wow, TQ, 4 stone that is great, you are in inspiration. When did you start? Was it New Year, if so that is great!

Carol, how's Max? Spooky about the radio too .... (hang on, that was a different thread, I am getting confused )

I am unhappy today as I went for a job interview and I am pretty sure I didn't get it as when I got there, the interview appeared to be for a completely different job than the one I applied for

At least the sun is shining, have a great day everyone.

Hi everyone

well todays weigh in was great one thankfully. I lost 3lbs. I really had gotten myself into a real state over the past week about it I was worrying myself silly so much that I was actually having difficulty sleeping.
I think I finally figured out why I have been feeling so bad though and that is because before when I knew I was sticking to my plan and getting good results I felt in total control...as soon as I felt I was still sticking to my plan and the weightloss slowed down and then I had a gain I didn't feel in control anymore....now how stupid is that?
If I wasn't in control I would have given up, but I didn't I hung in there.
I was also getting myself worked up because I get so much encouragement from you all and so many of you who email me telling me how much you look forward to reading my updated journal every week to see how much I lose...I felt as though I was letting you all down by not losing anything.
I think I should just stop worrying about everything and do as my 13 year old son keeps telling me to do...take a chill pill
My mum says I am a born worrier.....if I didn't have something to worry about I would worry about that and I think she is probably right

TQ isn't it a great feeling to reach that half way point
I remember my hubby doing a similar thing to the compost when I had lost about 80lbs, he took me to the local builders merchants and had me trying to lift the same amount in sand...I couldn't do it.....now I have lost 149lbs in total and there is no way on earth I could ever lift that...so how the **** did I manage to carry it all around for so long.
Actually I can lift that much weight with my legs and I do at the gym. It isn't surprising that my legs are pretty strong now is it after carrying that amount of weight for so many years.

I haven't had a chance to check the other threads recently but I did notice from this one that Sarah was MIA...has anyone heard from her?

well son has just got home from school and wants feeding so I better go
have a great day everyone
