Enough of the yo yo-ing, getting ready for a Monday start, jump aboard!!

Hi
A little background for you, for the past 5 years (well after dd3) have constantly been on some diet or other. Am kinda good during the week & then blow it at the weekends. Recently not even been able to have a good Monday to Friday due to various pressures (DH diagnosed with cancer 2 months ago, long story).
BUT now clothes too tight, constantly feelin crap etc. So Monday am going to try really hard. Have done a special shop & am roughly going to follow Davina's detox.
Would really love some like minded mumsnetters so we can keep each other on track & motivated - any takers??>?

well done :)

Sorry not been on, asthma been bad, was at hosp and nebulised and on steroids.

Still managed Zumba and gym, but with lots of ventolin to help!

Hope you all ok :)

giraffes, sorry to hear you were in hospital, hope you are feeling better....great name change btw .

Officical weigh in today same as Monday so 10 13 down to 10 8....I'm happy.

Wow giraffes don't over do things, hope you're ok now!
Well I'm bloody 2lbs heavier than last week . Been doing so much running but think possibly over eating to compensate. I have a 10k race next Sunday so am going to try & at least maintain until then (if I lose then fab!!), and after that will try to be much stricter.
MumPot what diet plan are you following? It must be working really well for you, well done xx

Good luck with the race. Disheartening when you try really hard and not lose .

I am following the BodyBlitz Diet, Anna Richardson - 7lbs in 2 weeks is the target....not been strict enough with the wine though but am pleased with the results. Picked up a copy of the Lunchbox Diet this week, looks good as well. For someone who loves crisps, baked potatoe and mayo I am not actually missing them so far [stunned].

Should have also mentioned that a work colleage asked me if I had lost weight, so obviously coming off the right places .

rolo wow thats exciting about race :)

I'm ok thanks, bit wheezey but steroids are working well.

Oh MPN thats brill!!

Did crunches at exercise class tonight - ouch ouch ouch lol

How you feeling today giraffes?

steroids definetly working, less tight chested and wheezey :)

How are you all?

Giraffes, glad things are easing up.

Will struggle to keep on the straight and narrow this weekend, lots going on.....must plan, must plan .

Had wine and a slice of pizza, all quite mindlessly, however got the feeling I am actually under eating. Have kept a food diary last two weeks and it is literally salad, salad and more salad .

How's everyone else getting on?

Can't weigh in at Boots today but after 14 days, home scales say 10 7 .....have lost 1" from my waist .

Nice one MumPot you must be really pleased!
Hope every-one else ok, not been that good here but tomorrow's a new day!!

well done MPN

yup tomorro is a new day rolo :)

Asthma bad again - back on yet another course of steroids. Priority now is getting that under control so can have surgery on 20th.

Zumba after work today. And eaten ok - had some cake at soft play with friend but only ate 1/2 lunch as 1yr old stole the rest lol.

Just weighed and no change - Grr! Measured hips, upper arm, thighs and tummy and written them down, hopefully they show better results!!!!!!!!

How you all today?

Did 5k on bike and 3k on xtrainer. Legs hurt! Eaten ok today.

Giraffes, you put me to shame with all your exercise...I'm doing zero at the moment even though I'm on half term .

i like chocolate etc too much to give it completely up on a diet so need to exercise so am allowed!

hello all. Went for a swim after work today. Now at work again. Will have dinner when home, not sure what to have. What you all been having for dinner?

jeez Giraffes, do you ever stop .

Dinner tonight for me was pilchards with roast veg...not to everyones taste but ok with me.

Hi giraffes & MPN, sorry not been on for a while, it's rolo & I've name changed!! Had a real crappy few days this end, I burnt my arm really badly taking a pizza out the oven & things have gone to pieces, so much so that I actually joined slimming world on Wednesday. I really begrudge having to pay but I thought I just need that extra kick at the mo, especially as I weighed 1/2 stone more on their scales then I thought I did .
So how's things with both of you?
Am on day 2 of SW today buut am out tonight so must be careful.

Sorry to hear about your arm rolo, pesky pizzas eh . Well done for joining up to SW, another mner emailed me lots of info for SW and she has lost 10lbs in 3 weeks so I'm thinking about giving it a go. I hit the wine and crisps last night ....am losing motivation/focus.

Ouch arm sounds sore!

I NEED curry .

What this early MPN??

@ it'stheclimb. I have been actually craving curry for about a week now....tonight is the night!! Need to re-group after this weekend and start again on Monday .

How's your arm now?

Ah MPN ENJOY!!! It's my race tomorrow so am loading up on the carbs, will prob eat lots tomorrow as well to compensate
Arm doin ok now thanks, still hurts but infection gone.
So Monday here we come big time!!!!
