OK, I posted here this morning before work and it's not here, where on earth in cyber space is it hanging around? Maybe I posted in another place.it was early and only one cuppa was drunk.
I stayed the same today but am having an off plan day, decided this at work while munching some crisps and then some nice soul brought out some yummy chocs....I figure one day is ok, I'll be back on track tomorrow :)
Well done to all our losers!

I'm with you MG - I haven't posted for weeks either. This has been because I've been offline (with the PC & the diet) for ages, & I didn't want to post till I had something positive to say! As it is, as of weigh-in this morning I have a net loss of 1.5lbs to report, so I'm happy to be finally losing again, & through the next stone mark, too. Only 9lbs to go to get my 10% keyring now. Congratulations on getting yours Carol.

Well done to everyone who's lost - it sounds like everyone's doing really well. Congratulations to Melissa, & to Teel for making the list.

Ali - wahey! I'm delighted that you've got through that block - no stopping you now! :)

Good Morning Ladies!

I did not go to the Monday weigh in at my club because my frind Ann from Denmark wanted to see me and my friend Sheila for a meal. We went to an Indian. Lovely!

So, before that Sheila and I decided to go to Kingston for shopping and I rather indulged in bad things (two ice creams and a creamy iced coffee, plus cafe snacks). This was rather foolish/brave of me because karen the group leader lives in Kingston! If she was in Marks on that Saturday....!

Anyway to cut a long story short I went to a Thursday weigh in with another class. I am down from 13st 6 to 13st 3.5 so I am well chuffed. Despite the Saturday scoffing and the Monday Indian, plus I owre rather bulky joggers (time of the month so must wear comfy stuff).

I still think I lose in my "Star" week (period). The week before I go up as I always need comfort food but when it is the actualy week of my period I slightly go off food. I still get hungry but do not really fancy anything. Anything stodgy exhausts me. All the usual things I like (YES EVEN CHOCOLATE!)do not hold any any appeal. Unfortunately I am soon back to square one!

wooohooo!!! Lost 5 1/2 this week!!!!

well done Melissa. Must be all the exercise after your marriage!!

Well done Melissa & Peacock!! :bravo: :)

well despite tom being here I lost 1lb this week...now just 5lbs away from goal...to say I am pleased with this weeks loss is an understatement :)

might not be able to post for a few days either. I am having trouble with my internet connection. my computer is now connected round at my mates to make sure there was nothing wrong with it...obviously it wont be staying here and I will just have to wait until ntl get their engineer back out to sort it out for me...so I'll post as soon as I can

Ali :wave:

That's brilliant, Ali - you must be really chuffed to see the scales moving downwards again! Sad to say, but I feel really excited on your behalf! I think I'll just have to live it through you until I get there myself! :)

Hope you get your internet problems sorted soon - been there & I know how frustrating it is!

Thanks shell, I am really chuffed , i'm surprised you aren't dazzled by the gleam from my smile from there :)

Have you heard from Helen recently?

Ali :wave:

Yes, Helen & I are doing our usual diet nagging by text every day! :) She's doing fine but she's just been pretty shattered lately & so hasn't had chance to surf much, although I believe she's had a look at your website because she sent me a text today to say that she found your experience of going too low with your calories interesting. I think I might have prompted that because she hopped on the scales & appeared to have a gain despite being good - I sent her a text saying look what happened to you; torturing yourself for days over nothing, because you'd lost by the time weigh-day came round! Isn't it nice to know you're providing such a good example?

Well done Ali, I am so pleased for you. Havge another great losing week luv.

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. Shelley told me I was being asked about, which prompted me to catch up tonight with whats been happening.

So Congrats to Melissa, Teel and Carol for wedding and weight losses and targets reached! And anyone I've missed.

I have been struggling since I last posted. First because we are planning to move to Wales and had seen a really nice house. Our offer was accepted but then the vendors withdrew the sale. I was really upset so did some comfort eating which just got me out of dieting basically and its taken me several weeks to get back on track, with some yo-yoing involved. I've also been feeling quite ill and run down and the only thing thats been giving me any energy is eating. However I do feel a lot better this week so hope for a loss on Wednesday.

On the positive side I have managed to lose 3lb since I last posted and have now lost 1 1/2 stone, I'm only 3lb away from my 10% target now.

I promise I will post more regularly from now on!

yes shell it is really nice to know that even when I am struggling myself just writing everything down shows other people that it isn't just happening to them and all they have to do is hang in there :)

Sorry to hear about your move Helen, the same thing has happened to me, all I kept telling myself was that something better was waiting for me, I know it doesn't really make you feel any better at the time tho and I hope you find something else soon.
Well done for getting back on track ...Just hang in there :)

Ali :wave:

Went to my usual Monday class. Bit quieter than usual as most of the "usual suspects" either did not turn up or left early. Also the leader was being assessed by another team leader which put a bit of a dampner on everything. Never mind!

I still lost one whole pound!

Hopefully I am now aiming in the right direction!

2lb on. I'm not surprised though. Here's to next week.
Went for a job interview yesterday, got a letter about it today, I start next Wednesday!!

well done on the loss peacock any loss is a good loss :)

congrats on the job Leigh-r..Down be too down about your gain this week, hang in there and you will have a good loss next week

Ali :wave:

Well done on a pound gone never to be seen again, Peacock!

Congratulations on the job Leigh-R - hope that goes well, & who knows it might even help your dieting efforts, too.

Will report back from my weigh-in later. I think I've lost some judging by my own scales, but probably not as much as I would have had I not gone off the rails at the weekend! If it was all weekdays dieting would be so easy! :)

Thanks all for the support. Leigh-r congrats on the job. What does it entail? Let's hope it keeps the munchies at bay!

2lbs off this week! I'm pleasantly surprised to still have lost after the pigging I did at the weekend, but I'm not going to get too complacent about it! Only 7lbs to go to keyring now so I'm raring to go! :)

my job is as a carer, but they asked me at interview to apply for the managers job as I am over qualified for the carers position. Anything that keeps me out of the house will help me to lose weight.

I've managed to lose last weeks gain plus a further 1lb so I've now lost 22lb in total since New Year and have 2lb to go to get to keyring and 10% target. Somehow I don't think I will manage it next week though with 3 days in Cornwall and then 4 in Wales.

Helen

Congrats Helen and Shell :cp:

WOW!! Terrific weight lossess adding up here, chicks....well done!
:dizzy: :D :smug: :wave: :strong: :bravo: :cp: :cb: :dancer: :flow2: :drill: :wizard:

Well done everybody.

I have been very remiss of my weight tallying duties recently. I will tally up however many weeks it has been tomorrow morning, I am weighing in tomorrow morning - scary !!!!

My nose is bothering me I like to see all the weights adding up and our total growing and growing.

Watch this space it will appear here some time tomorrow

another 1lb loss for me again this week...keep this up and it will be 4 weeks to goal, obviously I would like it sooner, but I will be happy with that :)

Ali :wave:

Congratulations Ali :cp:

That's brilliant Ali!!!! :) :bravo: :cp:

After being stuck before it must be great to see it coming off so consistently again - hopefully in 4 weeks time we'll all be celebrating with you!!! :crossed: :)

Congrats Ali

Well done Super Ali. you are awesome. I am proud to announce a 1lb loss this week too :)
Good luck to everyone else who weigh in after this, we are all doing so well, we should all be very proud of ourselves for our journey's and our help that we give to each other. I for one know I couldn't do this alone, and the support I receive here is phenomonal.
Here's to another fantastic week for all.

Well done Chris :cp:

Well done Chris! Thanks for sounding so cheery & positive, too - it rubs off! :)

I've lost 3lbs this week, & I've now got 4lbs to go to get my 10% keyring. I'm getting there! :)

i maintained this wk. (For what the consultant said to me go to yesterday's journal entry. I am not impressed with what she said.)

OK I posted here earlier but it's not here. Thanks for the support girls. Shell, well done on the 3 lbs, absolutely awesome! Leigh-r, maintaining is good, well done too. I'm now going to read what your consultant said....

Erm I have just read somewhere that if you stop exercising that when you start again your body isn't use to it anymore and will often cling to your "fat" and hence you all of a sudden stop losing weight until your body gets use to the exercise again.

The reason I am pointing this out is I am unsure if it is true. However, when I orginally started my diet I was losing weight. I then started exercising and started maintaing for a few weeks. Then the weight came off. I stopped exercising and again started maintaining, then the weight started to come off. Then I joined slimming world, started exercising and am again maintaining.

Anyone else found the same??

I've never heard or had that happen to me leigh-r :( exercise only helps me lose :) sorry your consultant was a rotten *itch :lol: the stupid woman is supposed to encourage you not have a go at you..or did someone forget to tell her that :mad: hope you and hubby had a great night out :D

yep great night out was had. At least when I was dieting on my own I didn't have anyone telling me off for gaining or maintaining.

One very happy bunny reporting another 2lbs lost again this week.
2lbs away from goal...omg I can't believe it...I really am almost there.
Was hoping I could do it next week, but then remembered I am off to Glasgow on friday for the weekend so I will miss next weeks weigh in. and the week after TOM will be due :(
Never mind, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that the same thing happens this month as happened last month, I lost 2 lbs :)

Carol if you want to drop me a message with your email address and phone number I will send you mine too if you are still ok to meet up next saturday

Ali :wave:

Well done, Ali! :) You must be so excited now! You'll be there in no time at all now - keeping everything crossed for you!!! :)

Thanks Shell :)
