Marks tuesday in her diary....

Blimey my midweek WI due tomorrow where has the week gone?!?!?

Am off out in a bit to do couch25k wk6 r2 oh my best start preparing mentally it's cold and wet outside and am quite enjoying the central heating currently.

RGPARGY How are you getting on now that the weekend and birthday celebrations have happened. No harm sometimes in a couple days off and all for good reason. Hope your ds had a great time.

Good luck for the week guys look forward to reading progress reports

well midweek WI not what I expected.

Have managed to put 3ib ofthe 4ib on that I lost last week. Oficial WI not tilFriday but no way is it going to change that dramatically in 2 days.

A little as I have been so good this week with both food, portion sizings and exercise.

Hey ho I will remain strong, I can do this just have to remember the body is a strange thing and this is only one week and can be sorted

Bexsy - sorry to hear of your gain, i'm sure it's only temporary tho so dont get too disheartened about it. As you say, the body IS weird and a week is a long time!

Not doing tooooo bad after DD's birthday celebrations. All the birthday cake has pretty much gone now, but there are some ginger christmas tree biscuits lurking that DD and i decorated today. They're not overly nice tho as they came with miniature smartie-like sweets, which tbh, taste bloody awful and really taste of cheap chocolate. Enough to put me off!! On the other hand tho, i was very good for lunch. I ate a 2 egg omelette with 2 laughing cow light triangles in it, and i cooked some asparagus, mangetout and broccoli to go with it. Yummage!! Dinner was 2 wraps with chicken and salad inside. Again, not that bad but it was the bag of crisps and cereal bar that i snacked on later that didn't do me any favours......

When i did body balance last night, i happened to be right at the front of the class by the mirrors. Watching myself trying to squeeze into the positions but not being able to coz my fat was in the way was an eye opener. I think i actually saw how big i am last night, rather than just seeing my better bits and not seeing the whole picture of me, if that makes sense?

Well official WI today and have gained 1ib, on the bright side it is better than the 4ib I had gained during Wednesday midweek WI

Right that is bloody coming off this week and at least another 1/2 ib on top (fingers crossed)

Good luck for WI's for you guys

Lost 3lb since last weigh in - lost 1lb so far. BUT I started on a light (for me) day and that lb is the one that takes my bmi below 40 and I haven't been there since feb! Have lost 1.5 stone from my heaviest ever weight but I need to do this quickly now for my health. It's going to be a good day :)

2.75 pounds off for me this week which means I've lost the exactly the amount of weight I set as my target for today when I started back in September :) If I can lose another 5 pounds in the next 23 days I can start 2012 overweight rather than obese.

If I can start 2012 merely obese rather than morbidly so I will be happy !

and if you can get there, you can go further - imagine the new you!! It CAN be done!

I bought a top and puffer sleeveless jacket both in size 12 yesterday!! And 3 new bras in 14 DD. I started as a size 22 and 20G!!! I have a little lose skin though- my boobs look horrific out of a bra but I have exercised with lightish weights(Jillian Michaels is a goddess) throughout this weightloss journey so its not too bad considering I have lost 37kgs!! 5kg to get to target now.

wow febes you have done really well 37kg and only 5kg to go. Well done Can I ask how long it has taken you?

I started last June but travelled through south africa for 3 months so wasn't dieting or exercising then. Mustly since Beginning of feb this year.

Mostly i mean ..

That is so good! I was a size 26 but I have bought some size 22 jeans which are only a little tight. I am quite tall though and would be fairly happy at size 16/18.

Hi, Can I join you please?

I have been doing mfp all on my lonesome for about 6 weeks now. I have lost a measly 6lbs but I have a long way to go and would like some friends to kick me into action encourage me.

My user name is Heatherdrinkstea.

Glad you could join us :)

Hi whyme2. Well done on your lb a week :) I've been on this thread a week or so,, I'll add you.

Thanks for adding me

Welcome to newbies and hope you get some great support from this MFP thread, it's been great for me

MFP has been great for me as it breaks down the fat, carbs etc and not just calories so teaches you as you go along but has encouraged my exercising which is something I haven't ever really done before

Went out for my wk7 r1 couch25k today and it was bloody awful. It was painful, my legs felt like lead and I didn't enjoy it. Gutted as Fridays run was a good one . Hoping all back to normal on next run (Tuesday).

MFP username: Bexsy feel free to add me and good luck, looking forward to reading progress reports.

2 days to WI was bricking it until this morning where I have promptly ate something or caught something - d&v bug

Not the best way to lose weight and I feel lousy, stomach like a washing machine this morning, plenty of fluids for me today, at least one way to get water in to me

Poor bexsy - I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you are feeling better soon though bexsy at least you are looking on the bright side.

Hope you feel better soon bexsy

Whoop feeling better so only a 24 hr bug , I will be going to the ball tomorrow well works christmas party

WI tomorrow morning so fingers crossed.

But a busy weekend works party tomorrow and it's only polite that I have a drink or 5 , then up to Reading by train Saturday to meet up with DH and DC's who are visiting GP's, again only polite that I have a drink or 3 with the mil (it is christmas get me through the weekend). Then out for lunch Sunday, then we come home!!!

Hoping that dh and dc's travel safely tomorrow as weather meant to be bad, have told DD to text me with progress reports along the way, only an hour and a half but am still a little worried.

Oh and haven't done any running since Sunday as weather too hardcore for me , hoping to get out tonight if not it's gonna be a date with my Wii just dance again.

Look forward to reading WI results from you guys and seeing how well everyone is doing

Woo hoo. I did my weigh in this morning and I have lost 1 and three quarter pounds. I am very please with myself because it does take me into the next stone and I have been feeling quite rough this week and tempted to eat crap and have obviously been quite good.
