I weighed in just forgot to post. I have stayed the same this week

Bumbled · 04/11/2005 18:48

Would love to join as well please, I'm doing WW, and started again on Weds. Currently 11.05 and would like to get to 10.02 but that does seem quite hard! Anyway full of virtuous thoughts at the moment, so we'll see....

I've lost half a stone!

Still drinking far too much-weight loss would be double if I could stop having the couple of glasses of wine I love in the evenings.

Have been going to the gym 3 times a week which am loving-would go more often if I could but just not possible.Clothes are starting to fit better and feeling confident I can lose another 7 ilbs by Christams when I will probably put it all back on again in a week!

Keep going all you that are still going for it!

well done dropinthe!!

another 1lb off for me this week.... am v pleased.

keep it up folks!

ernest · 09/11/2005 12:51

fantastic dropinthe!!

I'm 61.8 this week, so up .2 of a kilo - what's that? under half a pound. not too bad. still not running cos have hurt my foot. Piled on the weight last week (up to nearly 64 ) so quite happy to be back down. Have given up all alcohol, a real achievement for me, believe me! And today started the Food Doctor Diet. Worked really well for me last time. Taken me lots of mental energy to get the willpower to give up tea & booze & I'm finally there, so fingers crossed.

welcome bumbled. come one everyone. My will power's returned. SO can yours. Only 6 weeks to go. no time to waste. get the food doctor diet book if you're desperate (but strong) cos it's great & really works

ernest · 09/11/2005 12:51

we'll see next week if it does I suppose!

MadameButterfly · 09/11/2005 15:11

I lost 0.5lbs this week. One more pound to go to get to the 1 stone mark.

dropinthe · 10/11/2005 09:45

I had a bad weekend so stayed the same!
Am really trying to get under the 11 stone mark-haven't been less than for a couple of years!
Goal of 3 ilbs this week!

Bumbled · 10/11/2005 10:04

I lost one pound yesterday and was ridiculously gutted. Was hoping as it was the 1st week, that I'd be on at least 2 or 3 pounds.

Still, onwards and upwards.

I'm 3 pounds off 11 and desperate to get under there as well.

dazedandconfusedmum · 10/11/2005 14:43

ooooh can I join??? I have just started trying to lose weight after DS4 (Aug baby) and am finding it sooooo hard!!!!

ernest · 15/11/2005 06:56

goodmorning everyone. 61.1 ( and stupidly stood on scales and they said 61.3 2nd time - whatsthatallabout??) so take yer pick. Didn't stick to diet at all, very bad week involving birthday cake, as will this - ds's 2nd birthday on Thursday .
so only about half kilo - 1 lb down pretty crap considering I've given up alcohol & tea. not much to show for all my efforts. so a bit miffed tbh.

hope you've all got good news. Only 5 more Tuesdays

dazedandconfusedmum · 15/11/2005 14:52

I weighed in today and lost 3 and 1/2 lbs!!

Really pleased First week of dieting though, hopefully I can keep it up next week.

Still got 14lbs to lose though

ernest · 16/11/2005 16:11

omg 3.5 lbs I'm sooooo . well done

MascaraOHara · 16/11/2005 16:17

Well even though I started this - I've done rubbish. keep getting a couple of lb's off then putting them back on again. I am thoroughly miserable about it HUMPH!

On the upside DP who is terribly unromantic and not very forth coming with sweet nothings did say to me yesterday (when I stockpiled soup and vowed to loose 7lb by christmas) that he didn't know why I wanted to loose weight because he thinks I am perfect and loves me just the way I am... ahhhh!! bless him! it's a rare occassion like that I am reminded why I love him. He can make me feel so special without even meaning to!

i maintained this week. not really trying very hard anymore - need to step up a gear cos i really want to be 9 st 7 for christmas so still have 5 to loose...

come on y'all - we'll regret it if we dont put in the effort...

Screwyslittlechristmascrackers · 23/11/2005 13:58

I've been terrible I weigh more than I did when first started

Screwyslittlechristmascrackers · 23/11/2005 13:59

Definately will regret it if I don't get to target weight before christmas need to really put foot down now

ernest · 25/11/2005 19:57

my computer's been knackered (involving total hard drive death & mega loss of baby photos, sob) so couldn't pop in earlier to skip & dance with excitement - I've broken under the 60 kilo mark for the 1st time in 3 years, I'm 59.3 (today, friday), so in 1.5 weeks I'm down 2 kilos - 4.4 lbs!!! . I dunno if I'll reach my target in time but I'm going for itt. I never knew weight loss could be this exciting.

LoveMyGirls · 21/12/2005 14:12

well done (just read this thread) keep going!!!!!!! 5 days to go til christmas are you at your target yet?
im going to really try hard in the new year its a bit late for me to start with 4 days to go really
