Hello Teel! Wow! 2 posts in one week! Tremendous!

Cazzie just don't tell them. Ever!

I'm pepping myself up with some Pepsi Max. Am NOT motivated to work today in the least! Some days I do actually do stuff, but today I've been mostly playing sudoku! I did do some work, but my brain is stuck again!

Haven't even got the shepherds pie started yet, been too busy surfing and planning a day out to New Lanark for tomorrow. Will need to put the boys to bed very early and set the alarm so we can make the most of it.

Am off to organise dinner now, honest.

OR.. I'm so annoyed!

I was just feeling a bit peed off when I thought, oh I'll have a chewit (I bought some at lunch cos I was in need of a sweet - I've only had 3!!) Anyways, so chomping on this chewit, then urgh there's a hard bit, oh no, that would be my filling!

Now I'm even MORE peed off and I have to go to the dentist on top of that! GRRRR!

I hate dentists... Yet another reason not to eat too many sweets!!!

I was going through some old photos last night and realised that I wasn't as fat as I thought when I was younger. I think I became a sort of self fulfilling prophecy - I thought I was horribly fat so that's what I became! I wasn't skinny or anything, and was almost certainly overweight, but not as badly as I thought at the time. Anyway, it gave me more confidence that I'm not destined to be obese my whole life.

About to play with the demo of my client's weight management software. It won't work on the work computers, so it's a perfect excuse to play around with it at home using real figures rather than ones made up just in case anyone walks past

I was the same way growing up, YP. Now I look back on pictures of myself as a teenager and dream of weighing that little again! Soon enough, soon enough.

Hello people!

Well we got our new uniforms at work last week, I was mearsured for mine back in April or May as they only went to a 26! I was happy with that as it ment I could choose a longer style jacket

Anyway it arrived last week and despite being measured everything fitted except the trousers they would not zip up! anyway it's tucked away in the wardrobe and I am determined to get into it by the end of August!

I have lost 7lb this month, making my weight loss a total of 15lbs so I am pleased. I am loving it at the gym, and it's great being able to go swimming a couple of times a week.

I am deterimed to push myself this month more than ever so this weight can go!

Thats fantastic Maz Well Done

feeling tired and de-motivated cos I've not lost any weight this week! Aren't I silly!?

Am improving my strength though so at least that's one thing!

No your not silly!!I am in the same boat. I have maintained for the last two weeks now so im feeling pretty down aswell but keep your head up and stick at it!!

I dread to think what the scales are going to tell me next Tuesday as I haven't weighed for the last 3 weeks while I've been on holiday, at least your haven't gone up

Nope, not a bit silly. It's incredibly difficult for me when I'm maintaining, but I just white-knuckle the week out and pray to the scale gods that I'll lose next time.

Sunday is my husband's and my first anniversary. I can't believe it's been a year already! We're not sure what we're going to do to celebrate but I've insisted upon at least wine and romantic candlelight.

I have been dog walking I am exhausted! I'm walking my sisters dogs mother she is the perfect dog for walking unlike my sisters dogs who bark and/or sit down and refuse to move when they have had enough I have no fat club next week it is closed and both my parents birthdays I will not gain any more weight

Went to Lille yesterday. Went to the zoo and had a go on a segway! Oh yeah, and ate LOTS! We had camembert baguette, flan, chocolate bread thing, chips, more camembert, more baguette, macarons, tarte au citron, other strange things!

Stayed in bed all day today! I am sooooo lazy!

Well I hit the gym again today, I finally remember that Sundays can be fun! I was wanting to do an aqua class but I really did not have the time, so I missed it but hoping I will make the WIGGLE WORKOUT in the pool on Tuesday morning!

Hi folks, thought it was about time that I checked in - I've been going through a bit of a bad patch recently, and I always make the mistake of going underground when that happens - which is just crazy, as it's at the bad times that I need all the support you gals can offer.

I haven't been eating badly (keeping my cals below 1600 a day) but I've had a drop off in exercise and I think it's affecting my mood - obviously I need that exercise buzz!

I've been hovering around the 198-200lbs mark for a couple of weeks now, and because I'm not actively dropping lbs I feel psychologically as if I've backslid and regained all the lost weight. When I hit 198 for the first time I felt great, but now I've been there for 2 weeks I feel like a big lardy lump.

I know this is just my mind playing tricks on me, and I should try to keep a sens of perspective, but damn, it's hard. I'm 198lbs - that's 32lbs lower than I was 20 weeks ago, and I should be pretty damn pleased with myself - but for some unknown reason I just feel like throwing in the towel. Don't worry - I won't actually do it - but I definitely feel like it!

Tomorrow I'm going to do at least 60 minutes cardio work and release some of those good ol' endorphins...

This too shall pass...

Thanks for letting me vent,

Janey
