Old Thread

I am new thread starting by stealth while you lot aren't watching! Woo Haa haa haa!!!!! :o

I'll be weighing in tomorrow and then next Friday (and maybe Christmas Eve as well). Unfortunately I don't think I'll make it to where I got to last year (but I'm trying to get close) - but at least I'm back in the "Zone"

Well done Pretty. I have the munchies.... I am putting off eating anything for half an hour and just about to have a big cup of tea. A delay quite often gets rid of the urge.

Unfortunately I've had a bad week expecting a gain tomorrow.

fingers crossed for a sts Trimmer.

good luck Pretty in the morning

Piste, you going to tell us if you see that magical 9 again?

and Blondes, I do hope you arent weighing in!

Well, I am pleased to announce that I lost four pounds . So I am back to 12 stone 6lb, back to where I was this summer and one stone from when I started.

I am also on to the hated (by me) Level 2 of the Shred. So, all in all, I'm feeling pretty positive. I've had a small glass of wine since last Friday. Tonight I'll be having a couple of glasses of bubbly - a tradition while we are decorating the tree, but apart from that I'll try to remain relatively abstemious until next Saturday.

If I can continue this progress, then I should be only slightly up on where I got to last Christmas.

Trimmer - I hope the scales are friendlier than you are expecting

Hello Slinks,

Well done Pretty - you go girl!
I was 10st exactly today, but quite happy, I could push it and be back to a 9er but am trying to settle into a pattern of more sustainable eating. As you can imagine I am currently surrounded by chocolate and biscuits etc, which is all very kind, but I am relocating it

I was 12stone 5lb this morning, so that set me up nicely motivated for the day! .... might even break the 12 stone barrier, but won't be disappointed if I only get within a couple of pounds.

Piste - I am sure that there is plenty more temptation on the way

didnt weigh myself as dont dare tbh :(

well done pretty

Am holding firm Pretty! Not going back there!!

We'll see

Blondes - don't beat yourself up. You are living life with friends around you - that's what matters

no -what matters is that my arse is too big for my jeans and i had to buy a size up and in one shop was 2 sizes bigger :(

You will get back into the Zone - you inspired us first with your weight loss and then with the way you coped after dh's death. You'll inspire us again with your renewed weight loss when you are ready

You will do it blondes, when time right for you. I went down to 11st5 last Easter which was great. But then shit happened, life got in the way, work, kids etc. I went from a 12 to a 16 again, up to 13st5 in October. But I have got back down to 11st3 as of this morning, and my twelves fit again. Life was too much for those six months, I needed to not think about my food and alcohol consumption. But now I'm in a better place head wise, and you will be soon too x x x

No one looks back at their life and wishes they ate less cake. You are surviving what is going to be a very hard first Christmas without dh. Keep your head up, were here whatever your weight x

Are you meSmokinAces ? Our weight pattern is almost identical - although my shit happened in February and I am "only" 13 stone 4lb this morning and can't quite get into my Size 12s (you must be taller than me) at least I can but only with an extremely nasty case of muffin top

at 13st 5 Pretty I was most definitely a size 16 - I'm 5ft 4, and only in my 12s now at 11st 3

ah, just seen its probably a typo and you're 12st 5 not 13st 5? In which case I was in a small 14 at that weight - my 12s were wearable at about 11st 10?

Goes to show everyones weight fluctuates doesnt it? I would love to stay slim, but sadly I cant see me ever ridding myself of some kind of weight battle for good.

Indeed - 'twas a typo I am currently 12 stone 4lb - but I am really pleased with that, given that 2 weeks ago I was 12stone 13lb (and I'd "been careful" for a wee bit before I dared get back in the scales )

Ha ha, I did the same pretty - got back on the "diet" before I got back on the scales to limit the damage!!

7lb in a fortnight is fab, well done!

Excuse me - it's NINE pounds! not that I'm counting

ha ha ha - I apologise! I am on holiday from work - my head has been so overworked with numbers in the last 7 weeks I am boycotting maths for the next 2 weeks

9lb is bloody amazing!

Piste - I can now refer back to my post of Sat 17-Dec-11 13:32:29 - where I said that I knew was sure there was plenty more temptation on its way

aaahhhhhh...penny drops!

I've had both of mine but I HAVE been running!!

Thank you x

Hello everyone, can't believe that I have been in my new house over 3 weeks already! Am glad to be back online, don't know how I survived 3 weeks without the internet.

The last 3 days should have been great, being off work and all that, but it hasn't been, have been stuck indoors with the kids and dogs whilst we had the electrics done in the house, well it's all done now and tomorrow me and the kids are going to hit the town and get some last minute shopping done.

I am dreading weighing myself at the moment, can't tell you how much chocolate I have eaten over the last 3 weeks, on a good note, I have found and joined the local gym, have done 2 classes so far this week, body combat and boxfit, boxfit was so hard but I really enjoyed it.

I was interested to read about the dress sizes and weights, can't remember when I was last able to get into a size 12 skirt or trousers, even when I was 10st 5 I was still a size 14, because of my hips (bit of a J-lo booty me) clothes used to swim around my waist but was tight on my hips.

Sorry to have been AWOL for so long, just had so much happening that dieting has been absolutely the last thing on my mind! (Mostly down to DHs dire work situation, but won't go in to details) I've not gone overboard but I've definitely gained. Although I think it's mostly down to lack of exercise. Have had a bad back for about 2 months now & physio told me last week that she thinks I have a prolapsed disc! Great! So no sit ups has resulted in a very flabby tum again! Going to start some gentle Pilates today with the physio to build up the muscle strength to support my back then hopefully back to Zumba in the New year when I shall most definitely be back on the soup!! Haven't weighed but I think I'm probably around the 11stsomething mark :( No point in starting diet again now, not 3 days before Christmas!!

I see Pretty has had a big loss over the last couple of weeks so big congrats!

And well done Smalline on your Boxfit etc!

Will try & have a proper read through but DD is bouncing off the walls (Christmas excitement I think) so it's hard to focus!

Love to all.

Hi smalline and bebe we wondered where you were

Smalline, great news to hear you are getting settled. Hopefully kids and dogs stay puke free for Christmas.

Bebe, NY is a good time to start - and just think, you'll only have a stone or so to lose this time, as you did the massive work last time.

I was a bit more weight down today. Now weigh in at 11st 1.5lb. Aim is for 10st13 when I get weighed on NYE - I have Christmas and Boxing Day to eat a bit more, but try and stick to it around that. All in all I have gone down from 13st 5 in October, and overall from 13st 9 when I first started dieting. Mega chuffed.
