Hi demented - how was your week? I've still managed to stay off the sweeties - not easy though, was tempted a couple of times - my Mum offered me a 'wee bit' of cream cake tonight. I managed to say NO while drooling (Muminamillion will agree with me - a wee bit of cake off my mum would have been 3/4 of it! )But I feel very proud of myself now for resisting all week - I tried my dress on for the wedding - it definately feels a bit looser

Hi, this is the first time I've dared to post on the B/S/W threads but I think I may qualify as a "mama". I am desperately over weight and tomorrow morning start on Xenacol tablets to help me loose weight. Am I right in thinking that you all support each other in loosing weight and check in how you have done each week? Would you consider letting me join you?

they do indeed Cadbury and I don't think they need to consider, you are in girl! Demented will be on later, I'm sure to fill you in!

Just popped in ladies to say keep going!! I have a little smile to myself everytime I put my jeans on and can zip them up!

Hi cadbury - I like the name I agree with Lisa - It really helps hearing from people who are in the same boat - have a good week!

Hello everyone, just wanted to say that i havent given any details of weightloss yet but they are quite good due to the fact ive had salmonella for 8 days, so woo hoo! Every cloud has a silver lining and all that! And yes i know it will all go back on cos im going for a bloody nice meal as soon as i can face it. And some cake. And beer. And then back to the diet.

I am having serious motivation problems the last couple of weeks, although I have not been eating too much so that's not so bad. Did manage to put on 1lb last week but TBH I'm not too bothered as I am already half a stone lighter than I imagined I would manage and quite chuffed with myself. Another few lbs wouldn't go wrong but if they don't come off it's not the end of the world.

Cadbury of course you are welcome to join us, you may need a name change though as every time you post you will have us all drooling! Just mail me at mn.bigmamas(at)virgin(dot)net with your starting weight, target (if any) then mail every Thursday (although in reality no-one mails on a Thursday and all wait until Friday but as long as it's before 6pm on the Friday that's fine) with your loss and it will be announced on the Friday evening on the appropriate weekly thread.

As you may have read on the other thread I am looking for someone to take over the spreadsheet but if/when this happens we will be informed of the new e-mail address/arrangements.

ArtyAlex well done on saying no to the cake and great news that your dress feel looser already, have a great time next week, your dress and your DDs dresses are lovely and I'm sure you'll all look gorgeous!!!

I ordered some stuff from the Next Directory and it arrived this afternoon, all size 12, everything fitted and one pair of jeans was too big . I am however trying to forget that I was in Next earlier on in the week and tried on a pair of jeans, size 12 and they were too tight. It's not that the pair that arrived this morning are big made, noooooo, although the scales tell me I've put on 1lb this week it's really me that has shrunk!

Thanks. You can all call me cadders if that helps not to think about *. I'm only just starting weight loss seriously and have a very long way to go. Feeling very hungry already!

Oh god, i completely forgot about this.

Sorry Demented, i was supposed to email what i'd lost wasn't I ??

Well I am 9 stone now so 3lbs is my loss.

Am finding it alot tougher than i thought though, keep snacking on unsuitable things.

Dodgy takeaway demented, am being punished for my sins! Feeling well now and making up by scoffing cornflakes, which is at least quite healthy. That is an ace feeling when your clothes feel a bit loose isnt it? Well done everyone!

Wow well done Nutcracker!!! I think Yorkiegirl is taking over the spreadsheet but I will mail her and make sure she updates your loss!

dodgy takeaway, hmmmm that would be a double edged sword. It's no great secret that I love my takeaways and I would hate anything to put me off! Or maybe being put off them would be a good thing!

I have sent out the new address to everyone in my address book, although there are one or two that I don't seem to have in there, Nutcracker for example so it may be an idea to give everyone a reminder nearer the time. Are the mails still due on a Thursday?

Ok with me. He's under strict instructions not to deliver here, can do without the temptation. He came home with a 1kg bar of dairy milk recently as well. Anyone would think he wanted me to stay looking like a beached whale.

and Harrassedmum, I don't think I had your e-mail in my address book.

MIAM I have also sent the list of not acceptable excuses to Yorkiegirl so there'll be none of it!
