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

[MrsMcEasterBunny]

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!

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

i'm going for 10 lbs in 10 days.

On or off sauce??!

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

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?

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!!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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!

No good news here. Much the same as last week. Can claim to be 12st 2 but definitely camping on the 12st 3 border.

Don't think I've had a bad week, just not good enough to lose weight. On a happy note, doing loads of exercise and probably the fittest I've been since having ds, but it's making no difference to my weight. Harrumph.

Good luck to all those still to weigh in, she mutters through gritted teeth. If only they'd stay gritted (whatever that means) whenever the bread tin's around.

Pink elephant sound like wheat dosent like you at all. But white toast and butter is so nice isnt it.
Linjasmom its going in the right direction I can put on 2lbs easy when I have my af.
Eplipse keep the exercise up makes you feel really good dosent it.
Are we going to make the 15 lb target.

welldone theheadgirl!! 2Ibs thats great!!!

after eating like a wild bore for the past few days and skipping dinner yesterday i have managed by some unknown miracle to lose 1Ib!!

weight now is 11st 1Ib i need to get down to 10st by 8th june!!!!

Hey ladies sorry I?ve not been posting much, haven?t been very well. I lost 2 3/4 today that made me happier! Only ¼ off if you exclude last week?s gain though. Maybe AF does make you heavier!

Well done theheadgirl

And to you Cedar

Good luck Sauce!

Pinkelephant ? at least you know that cutting back on the wheat does work for you hon!

Linjasmon ? I think those with AF should be let off!

Great news on the exercise front Eclipse, I just don?t feel up to it at the mo had a long walk with DH last night though, that was nice

Well done I willbe

Well done MrsMc, you are this weeks winner of a large bar of "Divine" chocolate

(its fairtrade you know, so of course that makes it healthier )

No time to chat... but just wanted to say I gained 1/2 a lb! Tut. Sulk. Mope.

Well done losers

'fession time for me: - stayed the same - arggg. But then I did virtually no exercise and had bars of chocolate, so perhaps I deserve to have put on weight, so not so bad after all

I lost 1lb....but i think it was just forgetting to drink coke one day ( normally drink about 6 cans a day )

I am a no-weigher this week!
Got stuck in a traffic jam and couldn't get to class!!!

Is this a really sneaky way of getting more off next week??!!!

Hi everyone, we were away over Easter and then my Mum has been staying with us, so not only did I not weigh myself for weeks, the diet rather went out of the window too. So on the scales this morning I was 10st, which is 2lb heavier than when I last weighed in .

So there is now no unhealthy food in the house, and I am not going to eat between meals.

hellllooooooo Ive been looking for this thread for bloody aaaaaagggges !!! glad i have finally found it. It looks friendly and poplular so this is the one i have plumped for (no pun intended!)
I could just do with a bit of moral support...have decided to start weightwatchers and tonight is the night of the first meeting! Not sure what i weight at the moment, just know it is too much! Im hoping to lose weight and try focusing on something else other than ttc. See if that gets me anywhere for a change!
Sorry to crash, thread too long and chatty to read all, but nice to see some familiar faces
xxxxxxx
if someone could give me the lowdown or is it just a free for all?

eeeeeeeeekkkk
10.8!!!!! think that is the most i have ever been.....at 5.3 thats not good!
However onwards and upwards, Im going to really be going for it from now on
((v. hopeful emoticon!))
