Haven't weighed yet - due to weather conditions haven't been to parents' house. Having a very stressful time here (family illness, froozen pipes, no car, etc.) but still just about on plan - no exercise yet due to not feeling well and children's extended time off school last week. Guess it's not going to be the big weight loss month I was hoping for (to be realistic). As long as I lose a lb most weeks should be at or near goal buy the end of the year - must keep that in mind and hopefully as soon as I exercise again I will lose a little quicker again. Now I'm walkign the girls to school again that will also help.

Hope everyone else is doing OK.

Managed to weigh. Lost 3lb :) Now 189lb :) :) :) :) :)

oh that's fantastic - well done rainbow...

Well done, Rainbow! The snow is past pretty, and is just annoying now... :(

been stuck in then managed to get out then back in again!! cor!
but ive kind of stuck to the same weight so im not worrying too much BUT with another holiday looming in april...i need to shed the lbs and start the exercise. isnt it hard with weather like this!! its like you want to curl up til it goes!! anyone ever thought about that SAD thing where you get low in the darker months!! its a sure possibility for me i think...nothing more depressing than this glum weather!!

Week 1 of 4

Oops. Snow must have got into my brain. I was so busy getting into work to make sure exams went well I forgot all about my duties here!

Anyhooo! I managed to shed 1 lb, despite eating extra carbs for comfort! Work's gym is closed too..... Next week, I promise!

Good luck to you all. 2010 will be a losing year!

We're all such losers :D

Well done everyone! :carrot:

why is it when i post a question on here no one responds..ive noticed it a few times now and that when others post something they get responses..

hey touchmytoes..
its been very cold here in hawaii but i bet nothing as cold as it is there.. lol Lets just say that i have been drinking sf coco to keep me warm since im not a coffee person..

i wouldn't worry about it.. nobody listens to me either. i posted a message on sunday saying a felt crap and was having a bad week hoping for a bit of encouragement... not so much! anyway, this weather sucks. i have a cold. can't leave the house. i gained 1lb. everything pretty much sucks. Think your probably right about S.A.D touchmytoes - because i sure do feel blue.

its rubbish isnt it....I had yesterday off as the school was closed and instead of feeling like i had a day off woop woop i felt like aaw no im left alone to eat and feel sad!! ha!!

just put up a form on the fridge...listing what i can have and cant...i bet it wont work but it will make me more mindful!

hope you feel better..i sometimes feel like a good film and a cuppa do the job for me as it takes you of ur norm for a bit

I only have classes on a Tues and Fri, and my Tues class was cancelled. Instead of being happy, I was really irritated... I had nothing to do!

Sorry, didn't mean it, promise!

Sophie, I've spoken to you before and not had a reply. I actually thought maybe you didn't like me, which I suppose is just silly. (Think I still feel like I'm imposing because I'm relatively new) I guess none of us should take it to heart and remember that we're all busy and sometimes skip to the last post (like I did just to see the complied weights yesterday) or whatever. Anyway, sorry again!

That's rubbish that you guys are feeling so pants. I totally agree with the January blues! A few years ago I spent January in India, and it was such a great idea to get out of the country. Unfortunately going on holiday is my only suggestion and it's not exactly cheap :( Maybe organise something that you can really look forward to. Maybe that would help?

touchmytoes, a list is a really good idea I think! I sometimes write down quite a short list of healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinners and although it can become boring it's good to have the mentality that you're not allowed anything else. I hope it works for you :)

yossarianlives, I used to live in Edinburgh, I miss it so much! Glasgow is stinky! I'm beginning to feel the same as you - I wish uni would start back up again. Or do I...? Hmmmm.

I love living in Edinburgh :D I've had to go through to Glasgow a few times (to the Apple store :D and to see Eddie Izzard djkfhsdj!!) and whereas I like it... it's no Edinburgh, hah.

It's snowing again... I wish I could say I'm bored of the snow, but it's so pretty!
