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

MrsMcEasterBunny · 28/03/2007 15:11

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!

Oh no I've put 3lb on!! I'm so ashamed. I think its a combination of AF and excessive food consumption. Mainly the food if I'm honest.

Ready · 02/05/2007 10:44

Darn. I put on a lb

I did pre-empt it - I am certain that period = lbs!

cedar12 · 02/05/2007 08:42

Hello everyone really pleased I have lost 3/4lb not much I know but I was expecting to put on. 11st 1 lb now. Cant wait until the scales say 10st something. Next weeks going to be hard my mums having dd friday night so we are going out. Then dd birthday party on sunday, then we are all going camping for a few days after that. So lots of eating out and naughty food.

Ready · 01/05/2007 11:32

Hey everyone!! This got knocked off my threads... is it a sign that I have been eating too much!

Period adds lbs - I am sticking with that and pre-empting a gain on Wednesday.

Coggy - I was only teasing, that is still worthy of a over 2 weeks! Perhaps we should start weighing in every 2 weeks - haha!!

linjasmom - welcome back, glad you had a good time. Thanks for your help with the tortilla request!! The lard worried me

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather!?

mumto3girls · 01/05/2007 10:34

theheadgirl · 01/05/2007 10:32

You are scaring me Mum03, I wouldn't dream of arguing with you
I too have been very bad, and when I got weighed yesterday it ws not looking good...

mum03 · 01/05/2007 09:24

welcome back linja

OK I am confessing now - rather than waiting til tomorrow: I have eating excessive amounts of chocolate in the last couple of days, and done no exercise, just slobbing in fount of TV watching sloppy rom-coms. I have ranging PMT and been letting it get the better of me, so please forgive me tomorrows weigh-in or I will stomp and scream...

linjasmom · 30/04/2007 23:54

Hey ladies,

just wanted to say I am back. Stayed the same last week but I guess that's oK for vacation. Hope for some downward movement next week....

FABBY news PCM.....well done you!

Yes Ready I did feel rather smug adding that extra 1/2 pound until today when I feel a little as I realise that I may have accidently conned you all....

.....I didn'[t get to my meeting last week so the 2 1/2 pound loss is actually over two weeks....thank goodness Pusscat has beaten me otherwise I'd have felt shamed!!!!!

Pinkelephant....weigh-in generally on Weds.
Several of us are doing weight Watchers...some with classes...some without and others are doing there own thing.
HTH.

sauce · 26/04/2007 16:19

Remember my 10 lbs off in 10 days? Well, I lost 5. But have gone & ruined it today from lack of sleep. Ate 2 doorstops of white bread, butter & raspberry jam, washed down with industrial quantities of builders' tea. Yum.

Ready · 26/04/2007 16:17

Smug

theheadgirl · 26/04/2007 16:07

Well done Coggy, every half pound counts! You'll soon be in that sparkly leotard

coggy · 26/04/2007 15:46

Oh, oh, oooooooooooooh!
I appear to have misled you all!
I didn't lose 2 pounds...............I lost 2 1/2 !!!!!

Thought the maths didn't add up so I just checked my card!

Even more HURRAH!!!!!!

cedar12 · 26/04/2007 11:00

Well done everyone on the losses. Someone please give me a kick up the bum I just ate a chocolate brownie.

cedar12 · 26/04/2007 10:59

Ready · 26/04/2007 10:52

Well done Coggy!! This core plan is sounding tempting - if sausages and fruitcake still result in Platinum Star Loss

I'm sorry I have been away a couple of days - I have been very busy. How many points do you think I earned while decorating??

coggy · 25/04/2007 23:16

Ooopps!
I appear to have lost an exclamation mark and copied a bit about Roskva that I didn't mean too!!
Sorry...it's the sheer excitment!!!!
