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!

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.

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....

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...

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...

mumto3girls · 01/05/2007 10:34

hi..sorry i lost this thread...last week i lost 2lbs...think I've put it on this week though. OMG I went for a bra fitting yesterday and I could have cried when i saw myself in the tiny room with bright lights and four mirrors...I lok gross!!

How do you get rid of fat on your back FGS??

Congrat sto thos ewho've been good and lost weight!

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!?

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 · 02/05/2007 10:44

Darn. I put on a lb

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

theheadgirl · 02/05/2007 12:02

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.

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.

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

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..

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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!!!!!!

pussycatmomma · 05/05/2007 22:39

only cause my class is thurs roundthebend

coggy · 06/05/2007 14:13

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

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 .

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.
