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 have to admit that I have only lost about a quarter lb (100 g). What a joke, HA HA. Does af count as an excuse? Am feeling bloated. Hope someone else besides head girl will help us reach 15 lbs this week.... Later!

Bugger!! I've been so good for the last 3wks by cutting down on carbs and lost 6lbs. Had a few sneeking pieces of bread over the weekend and have gained 3lbs!!! Also got gripy pains back I'm sure I must have a wheat allergy or something....but was so craving toast with runny butter . I can't believe I cannot loose weight and have not even had a baby yet....I will be the size of a house by the time that happens!!

Well done head girl 2 lb is great
I wish I was 9 st 5lb!
I have lost 1/2 lb this week so I now weigh 11st 1 3/4 lb. Been quite good food wise but have hardly done any exercise. We are having a carpet laid in are hall and tiles in the bathroom on Thursday so have been madly trying to finish the decorating in time, so haven't had much time for exercise. But promise to get back on track tomorrow and go for a long run.
Good luck with the carb free diet sauce you are braver than me. I sort of followed this diet once but had no carbs after lunch and this did work for me for a while and I lost quite a lot.

theheadgirl · 18/04/2007 07:29

Well, here I am sat eating my weetabix with tinned peaches, and just have to share.......I've lost ANOTHER 2LB!!
I'm now 9st 5lb, and feeling very pleased with myself

Good luck to my fellow weigh in buddies, catch you later

Sauce All the best with your carb free diet. Not for me though, I tried it once and would have happily killed someone for a slice of toast by the end of the 1st day!

No, your dear friend sauce is NOT amputating a leg but denying herself carbs & fats for 2 weeks at least, 4 weeks at most.

Today was Day 1. Suffered with headache, fatigue & craving for carbs - any carbs! This is a bloody stupid diet but it does work IME & only used in times of dire necessity. It was 32°C today & I was cooking in stretch jeans & roomy t-shirt. Need to get rid of tum, bum & thighs, pronto!

I'm on injections which (apparently) make you put on weight!

That was my exuse when I had them before and I'm sticking to it.......

....unless of course I lose anything tomorrow that is!!!!

I do like to hedge my bets!!!!!

theheadgirl · 17/04/2007 15:18

I suspect sauce is amputating a leg...... that will do the trick! I've been OK with food, but not enough exercise. Would a mad session on my stepper show results on the weigh in tomorrow morning?

iwillbepgbydec2007 · 17/04/2007 14:41

omg sauce if you drop 10 pounds in 10 days i WANT your secret!

coggy · 17/04/2007 13:59

On or off sauce??!

sauce · 17/04/2007 13:47

i'm going for 10 lbs in 10 days.

mum03 · 17/04/2007 13:46

YES very naughty - not sure what tomorrows weigh-in will bring.

Ready · 17/04/2007 10:43

I hope the quietness of the thread doesn't mean that we are being naughty this week??

linjasmom · 16/04/2007 21:37

Hi ladies, just wanted to wish you a nice evening, am kind of lazy atm. Talk to you later.... XX

iwillbepgbydec2007 · 16/04/2007 13:43

you lot are doing sooo well!! and i am going to work so hard to shift atleast a pound this week to go towards the 15 pound total loss!!!

coggy · 15/04/2007 18:07

Been out to lunch (dinner)......now getting ready to go out for tea....

So much for worrying about a few poxy chips.......!!

Ready · 15/04/2007 14:22

theheadgirl - You made me think of my yoof - Grease2 - "I got a rep to protect, Shakespeare" - Just me? Ok, I'll get my coat!

Coggy - I think that is good, just stealing chips - seagulls are trim aren't they - and they always try to steal my chips at the seaside

Doing ok so far... although having a BBQ in a tick - homemade burgers though, not sure if that is better. Plenty of salad though

Hope everyone else is enjoying the weather!

theheadgirl · 15/04/2007 11:36

Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing well. Not doing too badly with food, but absolutely NO exercise. So to rectify this I'm taking my gals swimming this afternoon. I might manage a few widths whilst keeping one eye permanently on DD3 who thinks (erroneously) that she can swim

And can I just point out it was a pizza delivery MENU. I have a reputation to maintain you know.....

coggy · 14/04/2007 16:03

PMSL at you lot!!!!!

A few chips called to me....not too many....about 1/4 of my DH's plate......is that kindof okay (ish)

Pizza delivery man eh???!!!!
The mind boggles!!!!!

linjasmom · 13/04/2007 21:10

Hi ladies, just wanted to say hi tonight. Sitting here with some choc that is BEGGING to be eaten !! I think I have to succumb ....

theheadgirl · 13/04/2007 19:51

LOL eclipse! Now YOUR way would have used calories up......

eclipse · 13/04/2007 19:24

Sorry, theheadgirl. Read your messgae to fast and thought the cause of your shame 'involved a pizza hut delivery MAN, a credit card, and extreme laziness.' I was all ready to give you a big pat on the back.

theheadgirl · 13/04/2007 16:01

Mrs Mc I can never ignore a Yorkie. Its like a challenge cos "its not for girls". I only eat them to further the feminist cause you know...

Not doing too well since my triumphant 2lb loss on Wednesday It involved a pizza hut delivery menu, a credit card, and extreme laziness.

MrsMcJnr · 13/04/2007 15:48

Coggy - sorry, should have phrased that better, the blood will have become oxygenated and able to revive all your organs!

A Yorkie spoke to me in sultry tones this morning, must have been a relation of those chips, anyway, scoffed it, gone in 60 seconds!

Ready · 13/04/2007 12:21

Haha theheadgirl - very naughty Don't listen Coggy - The chips are not calling you!! But if you feel the urge, do as MrsMc did, and get a child's portion!

theheadgirl · 13/04/2007 11:59

Coggy "This is the chips speaking. You must eat us..... pleeeeese...."
