Welcome one, and welcome ALL to our 10th Thread, celebrating the long haul that has been central to our successful weight loss...

There is certainly lots more success to be enjoyed, so stay and weigh, there is always someone on hand for support or to give a kick up the backside as needed Grin We are good at motivating one another that's for sure!

Passes out the champagne that looks suspiciously like wine, Blondes you are only allowed ONE!
Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine

Cheers and cue the confetti!!

Can't have gin - got a weigh-in tomorrow!

Did have a glass of dh's scrummy sauvignan blanc at lunch time though.

Really must go out and do some gardening - it would do me good.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/06/2011 18:13

I don't think I will have lost tomorrow and I'm going to be so fucked off Sad

that is bittersweet prettybird :(

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/06/2011 06:33

Rant alert......
I am so very pissed off, this week I have been soooo good, completely 100% sticking to the low carb, I never once gave into the munchies that I said I had, I went without, I really was spot on, I have practically eaten nothing and I sts the same and it's not fair.I sts last week too. I'm so Angry what is the fucking point ? I may as well not bothered... I don't want to bloody play anymore.

The first thing that springs to mind Pisty - you've been doing some serious kick ass exercise, I reckon you've gained some muscle and lost inches, it doesn't always show on the scales.

How did boxercise go? I am so impressed with what you've been doing.

prettybird · 17/06/2011 08:28

Not weighing in until after I have done the Shred and gone for my run Wink

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/06/2011 09:06

i gained 2 lbs Blush

SureSlimCanterbury · 17/06/2011 09:28

Pisty, Trimmer has a good point, do you measure yourself too? might be worth it if you are exercising lots!
Also you could, not be eating enough. I know it sounds mad, but I can honestly say, with the diet I have been doing, I have never eaten sooo much!
I got on the scales this morning and have lost 1/2lb and considering the curry on friday and left overs on saturday, dead dog on Monday and (dont tell DH) a MacD Big Mac meal & McFlurry on Tuesday Blush - I'm pleased with that loss!
My only exercise this week has been crying :( (I'm exhausted)
I'm sure I will pay next week!

Have a good weekend all

prettybird · 17/06/2011 12:28

Ok, having done the Shred and a 3.4 mile run in the rain Grin I can now weigh-in......

And I can announce that I've lost a pound :) That's me back to a stone lighter from when I started :)

....now, if I can lose another 7 pound between now and 17 July, then I will be stone lighter than the last time I went to Meganissi! Hmm

Piste - I am sure that you are still losing inches. I seem to recall plateauing a bit when I'd lost a stone on Atkins. When you are re-introducing carbs, I'd do so very carefully and maybe even [whispers] start weighing yourself everyday.

Blondes - you are excused from any weight-loss requirements.

Canterbury - sorry about your dog. Add yuor strat weight and target weight to the list and then we can share in your progress.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/06/2011 08:49

well done pretty :)

GettinTrimmer · 19/06/2011 12:58

Afternoon all Smile where are you?!

I am hectically busy atm, a new moving date of 13th July is now being suggested, which is OK, but only 3 weeks away...

Also I have an app form for a job as a Learning Support Assistant in a local 6th form college but it's taking ages to fill in.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/06/2011 14:53

We are all in the pub :)

Fab news about the job application xx

GettinTrimmer · 19/06/2011 15:08
Envy

But pleased you are all enjoying yourselves Smile

LRDTheFeministDragon · 19/06/2011 18:13

Argh! Somebody tell me what's going on here ... I didn't update this week as I stuck at 10 st 9 (weighed Friday morning). I jumped on the scales for a sneaky check this morning (I know, I know ... ), and it said 10st 4. I'd love that to be true (!), but is it more likely my scales are fucked? They're the cheapy kind that have a swinging needle that points to the numbers round the edge - do they work do you think, or should I get the fancy ones that do an electronic dial?

Sorry to come in with questions, but I figured you would all know! Smile

Btw, trimmer if it makes you feel better, I'm not down the pub ... I'm studying! V. Envy of the others too!

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/06/2011 19:22

lrd you need digital ones

LRDTheFeministDragon · 19/06/2011 19:39

Darn, I thought you might say so! I'll have a check of the state of my bank account tomorrow.

GettinTrimmer · 20/06/2011 16:11

GettinTrimmer · 20/06/2011 17:46

I know what you mean about kick starting Blondes. but you are allowed a treat on a 3rd birthday! Buffets and party food are so difficult to resist.

We hope to exchange contracts on house TOMORROW and the completion date is now 14th July!! Watch this space....

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/06/2011 20:07

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/06/2011 20:36

I had pudding in the pub! Blondes made me Grin

Lovely GT - I shall keep it all crossed for you, so much so that I shall be unable to walk.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/06/2011 22:20

we were all tarts!!!!

GettinTrimmer · 21/06/2011 09:42

Got to have some fun blondes!

Pisty glad you are back Smile thank you for crossing everything.

I am just off to the opticians in a short while and also have to buy 250 envelopes as I (foolishly!) offered to organise the PTA raffle for the summer fair. Luckily I've found my previous glasses that are not strong enough but at least I can see a bit more, just slightly fuzzy.

Waiting for a phone call to say we've exchanged

smalline - how is it going for you?
