I have gained 1.5lb this week and have a 'face like thunder' TOM not due till next Saturday so can't blame that.
I did have a really piggy weekend last week but thought I would get away with it....obviously not, wahhhhhhhhhh!

Never mind TQ we still love you

TQ...i've had a y friday and saturday..feeling a bit fed up and lethargic thanks to the beers that i drank last night never mind there is alway's next week

I have been an angel this week. I am only hoping it pays off, after last weeks pig out and still showing a loss, I will be happy with just one little pound off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Why do we put ourselves through this every week

well I was an angel all week too, but I have stayed the same again this week...tom is due next weekend and I am dreading having a gain this month like I did last month, it has taken me all this month to get rid of what I gained then, and I am starting to feel that if that keeps happening, I will be stuck with these last 7lbs forever...irrationality hormones must have arrived a little earlier than TOM

I know I just need to hang in there and it will come off eventually, it just wants to torture me a little while longer

Ah! Never mind TQ. Join me in the naught corner! I expect I shall be put there tonight! I have indugled rather this weekend (paid on Friday -that's why!). I actually indugled in alcohol on Saturday night! Double brandies. ALong with pierogi smothered in butter. Then on Sunday I had a cauliflower cheese from M&S along with a pot of vintage cheddar mash and spinach. In case that didn't quite do enough damage I then had a M&S chocolate covered marzipan bar (well alright! 2!). Then I had a very small pot of Haagen Daz baileys ice cream.

Then, (yes there is more!). I decided to have lunch with a friend today so went to the greasy spoon for a number 8. (fried eg, mushrooms, chips and beans). Oh! and a not slimming raspberry yoghurt and a marzipan bar. I think I will have to enlarge the naughty corner.....Fancy having to be weighed on a Monday evening!

I shall console myself by going to the pictures afterwards. I will probably see Gangs of New York, as I will see Chicago tomorrow with a friend.


Have a good week (well, better than mine anyway!).

Hiya Everyone

I'm another one who hasn't mailed for months but would like to sneak back in, please!

I had several false starts where I knew my heart wasn't in it before I even started, so it's no wonder those attempts were doomed to failure. However, I now seem to have found my motivation from somewhere again, & I'm back on it with a vengeance!

I rejoined WW nearly 2 weeks ago (weigh-day is Wednesday), & last week I lost 5lbs. I'm actually looking forward to Wednesdays to see how I've done - how sick is that?! Last time I posted Carol & I weighed nearly the same - now I'm over a stone heavier & she's over a stone lighter!!! Well done Carol for that!!

Anyway; this is just a quick one to say I'm back! I'll check in on Wednesday with the news; & hopefully I'll have chance to catch up on some of the other threads in the meantime.

Am a happy bunny - another 2.5lbs off. TOM started this morning and I thought that would have ruined everything, but obviously not.

I am so happy

Posy those pounds will go, they are just very comfy where they are.

Shell, it's been pure **** to get down, all hard work and determination. I have struggled more than I would like to get this far, goodness only knows if I have the willpower to get as far as Posy.

Will pop back shortly and do the weigh in tallys - need to catch up on the other threads first.

Well done Carol!

Now I have another 2.5lbs to catch up on!!!! All I can say is your hard work & determination are obviously paying off because you're getting there - the results speak for themselves! I've certainly got the determination back now - I'm only just starting on the hard work part!!

As for being able to do what Ali's done & stick at it for the long haul like that - I can only look upon her website in awe & wonder!!!

Ali: I'm sure if the power of us all willing you on has anything to do with it; that last 7lbs will be gone in no time!!! I think we'll all be celebrating when we get the posting to say you've done it - you're an inspiration to us all!!!

The scores on the door for the UK ladies this week are

Arwen = -2lb
Bakewell = -5lbs
BritinNj = 0lbs
MelissaA = -5lbs
Mini Gem = +5lbs
Peacock = +1lbs
Posy =0lbs
Sal = -2.5lbs
TQ = +1.5lbs

Giving us a weekly loss of ..... 7.5lbs .

Which gives us a grand loss for 2003 (so far) of 37lbs, 2 stone 9lbs

No one is going to stop us now

Well done carol, that is just brilliant especially as TOM arrived too.now can your hormones have a word with my horemones and tell them to do the same for me next week please

Welcome back Shell, it's nice to see you again.
Has Helen been in touch with you yet about this coming sunday, I am coming over to meet up with her and she said she thought you might like to come too, but she hadn't spoken to you about it?
if not give her a call.

Ali

All sorted Ali - I'm really looking forward to meeting you!

Carol...great job...you're on a roll how cool that some of you ladies are actually meeting each other in the flesh you'll have lots to talk about i'm sure

I have read Posys diet journal (especially the beginning) quite a few times when I've felt my motivation needs a bit of a kicking and just find her story so inspiring. I feel that I want to take an autograph book or something with me!

Not to mention that I think I also need to compile a list of questions because there are so many things I keep thinking of that I need to ask. Posy, you have been warned

Cathy, no need to feel left out! Vancouver, no problem. Whats the best time of year to visit

Great Shell I'm glad your coming too, I can't wait to meet you both

ask as many questions as you like Helen and don't worry if you forget anything, you always have my phone number
