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!

I'll get the last post if you lot don't come back and chat!

I've done something to my leg, probably while doing the shred Hmm I am sitting here with a bag of frozen peas on my leg as it hurts when I put pressure on it. Have to walk everywhere at the moment (not a bag thing) as major roads are shut at the moment round here so have to buck up by lunchtime....

bebeballroom · 12/10/2011 17:02

I'm sorry I have been AWOL again. Just alot going on at home (& in my head) and I can't really focus on the dieting at the moment :( I'm trying...and failing!

Trimmer - bugger bout the leg! :(

My Zumba class isn't on 2moro, it's been postponed til Friday, when I can't go! :( Poo!

Must dash off & cook dinner...I will be having soup! (Told you I was trying!)

Another pound off here, and yesterday wore my new "Im aspiring to" jeans - which are Boden, size 10 skinny cut, and that felt good. And it takes me to 4 stone that I've lost.

Three more pounds until goal then, and that will be when the hard work starts.

Congratulations Piste :)ThanksWineBrew - but no BiscuitWink

I can confirm that you are a very slim and beautiful lady, having finally met you on Wednesday :)

I have managed to lose a pound, so am back down to 12stone 10lb. If I can keep this steady progress - and imporve it slightly, I should be back under 12stone for Christmas.

GettinTrimmer · 14/10/2011 14:00

I am a bit upset tbh. Have gained 2lb and I don't know how Sad I suspect it's something to do with hormones, that's my excuse anyway, also couldn't exercise as my foot has been painful all week for some reason, but almost better now so I am kicking my arse out of the door to do a swift walk.

Well done to Pretty & Piste

prettybird · 14/10/2011 16:14

Trimmer - don't despair. It'll just be a temporary blip and you'll be back on course next week :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/10/2011 06:41

Hey Trimmer, hope you are feeling fitter now, how are you?

I'm nearly turning my attention to how to maintain weight loss, because I think we all recognise that is a very hard thing to do. But I love buying clothes again now, it is a real pleasure. DH and I have a v posh do to go to in January,a proper old fashioned black tie event and I'm quite excited at the thought. Instead of wearing a marquee, I shall go for something very slim fitting and slinky. Not sure how to pay for it, but it will be gorgeoise. Grin

prettybird · 16/10/2011 12:57

You will look FAB Piste :):)

GettinTrimmer · 17/10/2011 09:27

Hi all, fighting fit now thanks Piste, just off out for a slow jog/walk. I know Blondes successfully kept off her 4 stone, I remember her saying always keep an eye on it, this is it. We have to crack maintaining.

I am sticking to the sw diet rigidly, but not too good on Friday after the wi Blush

Pretty well done on level 2 of the shred.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/10/2011 14:41

Had high hopes for achieving goal this week, but nowt seems to be shifting. They say you get a week like this on the low carb, and I think mine is here. We are away to Ireland for the first part of Half Term, so I am probably doomed next week too. But the week after that I shall crack it!

Let's have some thought for the next thread title: "2011 Weight Loss Club: Friends fabuloulsly fighting flab forever into Fall" is one alliterative suggestion. A wee bit American but I was trying to keep the "Fs" going.

Need to get the new title discussed early so you lot of juveniles can argue over who gets the last post Grin

prettybird · 20/10/2011 16:48

and Piste : you will reach target and you do look gorgeous - and already slim! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/10/2011 16:53

Pretty - you are too kind Blush

How about 2011 Weight Loss Club: Friends fabuloulsly fighting flab forever
because it is already Fall and this thread will last until January probably!!

What do you reckon? I'm supposed to working but have a mental block Sad

OP posts:
RatherBeOnThePiste · 21/10/2011 07:36

STS here - 10stone, 2 pounds, so close and yet so bloomin far!

OP posts:
bebeballroom · 21/10/2011 12:50

I daren't weigh, I have not been good! (Not bad but just not diety) Things here at home are mega stressful & I just can't focus at all. I don't have the energy at the moment to cook something for myself & something else for DH & DD, sometimes that means 3 different dinners which is just never going to happen right now! I know there are ways to avoid that but just have too much going on to add that to my list of things to think about! Especially whilst I'm trying to keep costs down.

Next week is Christmas Cake week (aka Autumn half term) so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that as have one big & 3 small ones to bake. I cannot for the life of me remember if I use light brown or dark brown sugar...all the recipe says is soft brown! Hmm I'm sure I use light brown for cake & dark brown for mincemeat....all the crappy stuff going on is pushing 'useful' information out of my brain! Wink

Well done Piste on STS, have a lovely time in Ireland.

Love the new thread title sugestion.

Waves to everyone x

GettinTrimmer · 21/10/2011 16:54

Hi all, wi today and lost 1.5lb only 1/2 to go and I will have lost the 2lb I gained last week

I like the new thread title!

Smalline · 23/10/2011 08:37

Hello everyone, I have stayed the same this weekSmile.

The house sale is still going through although things seem to be hotting up now. We went to see the house we are buying yesterday, this time without blinkers onGrin, we still love it. The people we are buying from are lovely and they were asking if we could complete in January, because they are going on holiday in November and won't be back til mid Jan, we don't mind, as long as we exchange before they go, that way I would have more time to sort out schools for the children, hand my notice inSad, pack up etc. Anyway whilst we were making these plans, [talk about timing!!!], our buyers called to say that they want to exchange as quickly as possible, otherwise they are going to pull out!!

Hope everyone is okay, Piste 3lbs to target, a fantastic achievement, you look great already, well done.

Trimmer, Pretty I'm going to beat you to the 11 stone something target GrinGrinGrin.

Lots of hugs to you Bebe and Blondes

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/10/2011 19:15

sorry been awaol - just cant motivate myself and lost the list on 'threads im on' as havnt been on Blush

still sts so grateful for that, but need to shift my blubber but jjust cant at the moment :(

and yes i did lose 4 stone and keep it off for several years but 2.5 of it crept back on - hence why on this thread :(

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 24/10/2011 20:02

Hugs ((((B))))

My new name is in homage to the crochet teacher who at my beginners course on Saturday said I was a Loose Hooker. I guffawed but no one else seemed to find it funny Grin That made it even funnier!!

I'm not sure how long it will last, but it still makes me snort!

I am in Ireland currently, so the diet, especially the low carb was always doomed, but home tomorrow night, and back on the case.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/10/2011 20:17

lol at loose hooker - she knows you well Grin

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 24/10/2011 21:27

Oi Grin Slaps B x

Was funny but no one else seemed to think so!

GettinTrimmer · 25/10/2011 08:49

Grin loose hooker!! What a great thing to learn though piste, I love croched tops, etc. Is it very difficult? I have just bought myself a knitting book and have plans to make pom poms with the dc and start knitting again.

smalline I am pleased for you that house is going through but isn't it a nightmare? Buyers are a pain.

blondes Good that you've sts, well done. Was missing you on here

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 25/10/2011 09:40

It was certainly tricky and I was doing it very loosely or it got stuck! It was a four hour beginner course and I loved it. I saw a gorgeoise crochet top yesterday in Forever 21 ( young at heart emoticon) but didn't have time to try. Sad

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 26/10/2011 09:23

Have come back from Ireland the size of a heifer

prettybird · 26/10/2011 14:03

I'm sure you're not Pistey (or should that be Hooker ?)

I thought I'd posted after my weigh-in on Friday but I can't see it. I'd put on 2lb :( All I can think is that I wouldn't wasn't able to do the Shred last week while ds was off.

Anyway, I'm working really hard this week to lose it again, so I hope I get a good result on Friday :)

Smalline - you are definitely going to beat me getting to 11stone something - I've got a looooaaaaad of catching up to do Blush
