Lose 10 pounds in 7 weeks - anyone like to join me?

Hello we did a thread a bit like this last year and it worked well so I thought I'd try it again.

I have a wedding to go to in 7 weeks and I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to follow a low fat diet and do more exercise.

I'll post my losses (and any gains) on a Weds morning.

Come and help me!

I hope so as I am getting there so slowly

Ready · 16/05/2007 09:46

I've lost 5andahalf lbs since the start of this thread - not what I hoped I would be saying. Getting there though! Slowly is better, as it stays off longer - doesn't it?

Linjasmom - Your dd is a real cutie!!

How's everyone doing?? Weigh-in tomorrow... not sure I will have lost anything because I have had a couple of not-so-good days - but we shall see... fingers crossed I haven't gained!

linjasmom · 12/05/2007 22:54

thank you!! of course that's what I like to hear.... [proud mom emoticon]

theheadgirl · 12/05/2007 22:53

What a sweetie! Linjasmom she made me smile

linjasmom · 12/05/2007 22:37

just wanted to let all you lovely ladies know that I have finally managed to put a pic of my dd on my profile page - in case anyone's interested. I always love looking at the pics, sooooo..... if not, never mind!

MrsMcJnr · 11/05/2007 16:46

Thank you

theheadgirl · 11/05/2007 12:16

Hi mrsmc I don't think starving is necessary before an appt with a Consultant Haematologist. I work in a nurse led clinic, but as part of specialist training in thromophillia probs, I spent a day with our consultant (incidentally a lovely Scottish lady - a Mrs Mc in fact!) She saw people with probs conceiving, and as thrombophilia is sometimes hereditary, I think you should expect lots of family questions for you and Mr Mc. And to give some of your blood away! You'll probably also be advised on medication that may help. Good luck with it all

Ok, finished hi-jack! I am back and ready to continue in my quest for weight loss. I have two excuses for lack of posting

  1. I'm blaming DD3 who has SN and likes to dance all night! I am knackered and so have been comfort eating
  2. I was 42 one week ago - well a gals gotta celebrate! but thats all finished now.
MrsMcJnr · 11/05/2007 11:41

Thank you PussyCat 7.5 pounds! That is fabulous, well done I went back to class last Sat, I intend to keep going (I did last time and only fell by the wayside when I had MC, at that point (10 weeks) I?d only put on a pound so think it?s worth my while especially with the extra 7 I now have )

Theheadgirl thanks! the useful ladies I meet on here! I will CAT you! I?m seeing Consultant Haem on Monday so I?ll let you know how that goes. Sect didn?t say anything about fasting before the appointment? Is that necessary? Hope you say no, starving at the mo! How are things with you?

Good luck to you all ? you are doing so well! I?m being very careful what I eat (and drink) now so hopefully things will settle down

theheadgirl · 11/05/2007 09:18

Hurrah, another person to join me Round the Bend! I have had 2 bad weeks - a big fat 0 this week for me.
Still I will keep trying. At least I haven't put any on

RoundTheBend · 11/05/2007 08:58

Grin Grin

coggy · 11/05/2007 08:51

HURRAH! Then it is decided.....Roundthebend stays and get skinny with the rest of us.

RoundTheBend · 11/05/2007 08:47

I would love to stay if no one minds Coggy. I need some motivation too and I loved the idea of this thread as its title suggested something to me that I might be able to achieve. I would happily cheer everyone on.

coggy · 11/05/2007 08:44

Roundthebend....we actually have a couple of 'cheerleaders' who are not ttc either....just willing us who are on and all losing weight together at the same time.
You don't need to go.

coggy · 11/05/2007 08:43

Pusscat...a pound is a pound and you are well over half way to a stone...that's great!

MrsMc.....excellent news from you...stuff the weight loss!!!
Hoping desperately that all goes smoothly for you both.

It is nice to notice the difference isn't it Ready...soooo cool to go down a clothes size too.

RoundTheBend · 11/05/2007 08:40

Ladies, I am bowing out of this thread. When I first saw it, I looked at the title of it and not what TOPIC it was in. I am not ttc. So I have ended up here by mistake. I wish you all good luck!

linjasmom · 10/05/2007 23:43

.... to MrsMc of course!!

linjasmom · 10/05/2007 23:43

congrats!!!! ....

theheadgirl · 10/05/2007 19:42

Woo Hoo MrsMc I think my cheerleading really works
On a serious note, when not being a headgirl, my real job is a nurse practitioner in a clinic for people with blood clotting problems. If you want to CAT me if I can help in any way, feel free. good luck Mrs, Mr and Little Mc xx

pussycatmomma · 10/05/2007 16:35

mrs mc............congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done you and mr. mc, I sincerely wish you all the best and hope that your pregnancy is very happy and healthy.
Cant wait to be reading your birth announcement in 9 months!
Coggy.....Congrats to you too honey! a whole stone is a fantastic achievement, bet you are looking gorgeous
My weigh in is in 3 hours time, will post result later xx

Ready · 10/05/2007 12:52

Coggy - Well bloomin done girl!!!! That is excellent!! I bet you look fantastic! A stone is one hell of an achievement, I hope that I manage that myself. I am at the stage where I am noticing the loss, and that really helps to motivate!! Woo! Well done you!!
