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!

That's fabulous Coggy!

I went back to SS on Sat - 12 5 all time heaviest

Sorry I've not posted much, I try to keep up with too many threads I think. I hope you are all well and sorry I cannpt catch up

Slimming is probably not as important to me at the mo as it was ?.I am ?probably pregnant? woke up at 4am, needed a wee and thought I?d better temp too as I normally get up at 6.15, temp was still good so I rooted around in the dark for a test and did it ? there was a line not the strongest of lines but mostly definitely there. Funnily enough, I didn?t get any sleep after that. I feel numb really, I went through every emotion in the hours of lying there; as you can imagine I am very scared about the thrombophilia and the risk to the baby, I don?t have a haematology appointment yet and I don?t know what to do. I have left a message for my GP to call me about ?something important? I hope she is not too angry with me for disobeying her advice to help. I haven?t had any spotting like last time so I am reading into that that this time might be different; more fool me but what?s the harm in staying positive? I am really excited, just scared.

Good luck with the "mission" and I'll pop in from time to time!

Excellent stuff Ready!
Well done.

And welcome Gracie too.

coggy · 10/05/2007 09:11

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGET!!!!!!

Okay...so I only lost 1/2 pound but I have got to my WW target weight of losing a whole stone!!!

Not much to many people I know....but a blinkin' stubborn stone it was I tell you!

Now I am 10 stone 4 (5ft 8) so I may try to get down to 10 stone.....that would be cool.

Oooh...I am pleased not to have to pay anymore!!!!!!

linjasmom · 09/05/2007 13:44

eclipse - sorry to hear that. I still wish you good luck and hope to meet you again on MN at some point in the future!! XX

eclipse · 09/05/2007 13:34

Hi, all. I'm afraid I haven't weighed myself today and unfortunately I'm checking in to sign myself out. I've been a fully paid up member of the 'Hut' as have been having zero success in the conception department and it's all becoming a bit depressing so I'm having a mumsnet and ttc break just to try and forget about it for a bit. So sadly I'm saying goodbye to all of you too. I know that won't affect the stats much as I've not been a huge success story here either and a large piece of choccie cake is calling to me as I type. But I wanted to wish you well and good luck with the weight loss (and the ttc for those who are). xx

Hi all,

I'd like to join please not actively TTC at the moment but would love to lose some weight. (Which will hopefully help when I do)

I started trying to lose weight last week I started off 13st 7lbs (I'm 5ft 9in) so would like to be 11st 7lbs (or less). I have lost 5.5 lbs this week (which I think goes to show how bad my eating habits have been!) So now 13st 1.5lbs.

Here's to a good week for us all

Roundthebend - A lb is a lb!! Don't knock yourself! Slow and steady weightloss stands more chance of staying off - that's what I have always been told!

Big cyber chocolate bar for everyone

PS.... I have been wanting to say this for weeks - so I am just going to do it.....

"Dust? No? Dust?"

I am sure it will mean nothing to some - but I hope at least one person knows, and giggles!

mum03 · 09/05/2007 09:19

roundthebend - Well done 1lb is 1lb off and is better than on!

My total 2+1/2 in 5 weeks - oh well 1/2 lb a week is still in the right direction but I am not sure that I will make the 10lbs in 7 weeks though!

Morning! Well I have only lost 1lb. I cannot believe that I totally knackered myself digging the garden for 3 days and that is all it is. And... I have knocked my alcohol intake to 7/8ths what it used to be and still only 1lb!!! But a 1lb is a 1lb I suppose. So 12st 12lb for me today.

Ready · 08/05/2007 18:39

This thread fell off my "threads I'm on"

mum03 - Oh no, hope you are ok? I know what you mean about the loss aspect though - every cloud!

Very well done PCM on your 3lbs again!! You go girl!

Welcome roundthebend

4lbs Roskva - Well done you. I think that deserves the platinum star!!

Other losers - hope we all manage to lose tomorrow. fingers crossed.

mum03 · 08/05/2007 15:15

OK I will do my traditional excuses the day before weigh-in!!!

But this time I am hopeful that I will show a loss, even though I was naughty over the weekend. How will I get a loss??? Because suddenly today got TMI... diahorrea, yuk yep. Still if it makes my weight look good tomorrow, then I will take it .

coggy · 06/05/2007 14:13

LOL at you being !!!!!
We all know the truth!!!!!

pussycatmomma · 05/05/2007 22:39

only cause my class is thurs roundthebend

coggy · 04/05/2007 20:08

In the lead again eh?
Excellent loss oh skinny cat!!!!!!

We normally weigh-in on a Weds RoundtheBend....but PCM likes to do it on a Thursday so that she can be fashionably late with her HUGE losses!!!!!!

RoundTheBend · 04/05/2007 09:03

Well I went out and had a curry last night and lots of wine! It was a friend's birthday. I am going to take advantage of the three day weekend and really bash it out on my rowing machine and have a go at digging my garden. It is clay soil and I need a pickaxe to get through it. So I hope to burn a few calories. What day of the week do you post your weights?

pussycatmomma · 03/05/2007 22:03

hurraaaaaaaaaaay!! 3lb off
mind you, will be pre-af week next week, so look out for the monthly bloat!
For now though, am really pleased.
Wheres mrs.mc with the round up? I wanna know how I score!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

coggy · 03/05/2007 14:45

Blimy....are we alll cycling together????
I have SO much fluid retention that I felt sure that I had put on half a stone this week.

I wore cropped trousers and a skimpy-ish top....no jewellry and I even shaved my legs before going to class .....did all that hard work pay off?????

Blinkin' half a pound off!!!!!!
But at least it's in the right direction eh?!

Good luck for today PCM.
Well done Roskva and welcome Roundthebend.

mum03 · 03/05/2007 09:33

Welcome roundthebend.

Well my result for this week was 1/4 ON, but actually I am quite pleased with that as I often can put on upto 3lbs with fluid retention with pmt. So I will endevour to have a good week and get some excercise in and try to get that and more back off next week.

Roskva · 03/05/2007 09:05

Hi there, I've been a bit lazy about posting recently. I have managed to lose the 4lb I gained because of my Easter binge, so I am getting back on track

linjasmom · 02/05/2007 21:15

I have to admit that I gained half a lb AFTER getting back from hols when I stayed the same. Shame on me!! I really hope for a better result next week now. Have to drink more and exercise more. Am also off to a weekend with PIL and dd which is going to be very nice but unfortunately they are always spoiling me/us rotten....
Welcome RoundTheBend, LOL at your rowing machine.... that's what I do on my bike or cross walker. Have to turn up the volume rather hi though, so that's not so nice.... Good luck!
Hey there everybody else. Bad week, huh? Glad I am not the only one.
Congrats, cedar! Almost but for you!

RoundTheBend · 02/05/2007 19:35

Hello Can I join you please? For the past two years all I have done is put on weight.

I am 5'9" and 12st 13lbs. In an ideal world I would be 10st 10lbs, so I have quite a way to go. I bought a rowing machine yesterday in the hopes that I can sit on my bum and exercise that way in front of the telly..

pussycatmomma · 02/05/2007 19:22

ahhhhhh, dont be disheartened ladies, its only 1 week and you can Wow us all next week with your fantastic losses My ww class is tomorrow so i cant say whats happening for me yet unfortuneatly. I have really tried, but sadly a Solero managed to force itself down my neck yesterday, i tried to fight it off
I'll be posting tomorrow.
As for af, the bitch, she adds pounds as a kind of slap in the face for good measure, not only are we not prg this month, she adds poundage too!! We will all beat her one day I promise......
xxxxxxx

eclipse · 02/05/2007 13:25

Same old story. No change here. Will keep on deluding myself that I'm trying though. Good luck to those still to weigh.
