WHO wants to lose A STONE with me? By cutting out sweets, and puddings, desserts, cakes, ice cream, crisps, unhealthy food...

[QuintessentialShadows]

Starting Monday.

And even try get some exercise???

Whose with me?

Is there anyone left????

didn't have a good day yesterday as it was ds2's birthday and I just had to eat cake, crisps, mini sausages.......... etc etc
BUT
have just swum another 25 lengths
Can see a difference already and I can certainly feel it...

Wow, this thread is quiet now!

Still here, still no sugar. I do feel better for it, I must say. It's just nice to know I'm treating my body better, even if I don't lose any weight. Ideally I would like to be about 9st 10lb, but am happy hovering around the 10st mark

Am going to weigh myself tomorrow at work on the (dodgy) scales. Think last time I was 10st, so we'll see!

Lol at mohair jumpers

Ingles, maybe you can inspire us to take it to the next level and embark on an exercise regime!

Hi Bernard...glad to see you're still doing well and still here!
now..
motivation for the exercise is easy......!
Get DP to take an unposed photo of you looking your worst, bent over, with lardy tummy and norks swinging around..
Worked a treat for me

It might be easier for me to just get down to the pool...

I'm still around but failing every day so it hasnt really worked for me

still here, but not doing SO well - the stress is on to open in time for our summer season, so I have been munching a bit of choc - my mum is visiting so it's a good (bad??) excuse.

But nice to see some of us are still trying - well done with the swimming ingles And Bernard - could you not go to the pool with a friend or DH, so you can get some laps in while someone looks after the dds?

love to all
T xx

Thanks Tickle (Had no idea you were in Denmark btw very very jealous as ds's are viking nuts!)

Keep trying Glassslipper, tomorrow is another day and all that

Could you swim at the weekends Bernard? It's very difficult with littlies though...

I'm trying hard not to turn into a smug (done some exercise twice) freak but I really can't believe the difference all ready, especially in my tummy. Bought a carnet of tickets for the pool today and will go again in the morning. It's not even taking that long as normally I'd stand around the school gate chatting but I go, do my 1/2 hour, back home. Wish I'd done it years ago tbh

Hi everyone

9st 12 today

Hi everyone

9st 12 today

So happy I needed to tell you twice

Well done Bernard..

Glad you're feeling better again, Ingles

And well done everyone else for the perseverence. Have to say, if I 'fell off the wagon' I'm sure that would be it for me, so admire your staying-power!

well done Bernard

And that sounds like a good new routine Ingles... one that you can keep up

Yup - lots for your DS's round here We live on a small island that was a strategic base, so lots of epic battles!

Well done Bernard. DD2 now has chicken pox which will involve lots of chocolate to keep her happy so not sure how good my resolve will be

Isn't it just!
How are you doing Bernard? Still going?

Still going, Ingles

Weighed myself yesterday, still 9st 12 so am pleased

How are you doing?

Well done to you Bernard
I'm fine, Ta for asking
Still going, still swimming 4 x a week, still losing inches but am weirdly not losing any weight
my body looks different and clothes fit differently (no muffin top anymore hooray!) so I'm not sure why.
I'm just odd obviously

Glad to see someone's still going!

I am back on the snacks but have managed to keep off the 5lb I lost doing this, I am generally snacking less than I used to and only having pudding as an occasional treat.

Hello Meg

4X swimming a week! Wow, Ingles Well done that lady!

Do you know, I can't even remember how long I've been doing this for anymore!

Thanks Bernard
I am inordinately proud of myself
dh is convinced I won't keep it up. which spurs me on all the more. I'm a terrible loser
Hi Meg
