Well done jeans Grin that's what I will be doing regarding target weight! I agree with you carer good luck and keeps updated Smile

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/04/2012 22:54

lost a lb - tbh im a tad pissed off - ive been soooooooooooooooo good all week, ate lots of fruit veg and salad and rather unhappy

yes i know its a loss and not a gain but still ...........

bah humbug - blondes is unhappy

03angels · 09/04/2012 06:39

Aww I totally get where you're coming from blondes Sad don't give up though - my losses are becoming less and less I may have to up the exercise Sad

jeansforever · 09/04/2012 10:32

Well donew blondes at least it's something !
I've never had a massive loss usually 2 -3 pounds but at least it's consistant and it's all adding up now.
Angels i loose the same regardless of what exercise i've done ?
I've eaten a big easter egg so am not expecting anything this week so 1lb would do me!!

Just a thought blondes but do you only have a little bit to loose ? sorry if you've said i can't remember.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/04/2012 11:00

Def 2 stone but ideally 3 stone

I know a lb a week is 4stone but still pissed off

jeansforever · 09/04/2012 11:12

I know blondes i was pissed off with only loosing little amounts but as i said it's all adding up now! Have you tried doing the red and green days ? as ee doesn't work for everyone i've spoken to.
Hang in there i'm sure you will get there.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/04/2012 19:17

not sure i can cope with red and green as love my pasta but also my meat lol

will try this for a month and see what i lose over all

my friends are losing weight so must work

carernotasaint · 09/04/2012 22:32

blondes i feel the same as you. i havent touched anything bad for TWO MONTHS and have only lost half a stone. at this fucking rate its gonna take 4 months to lose a stone. my clothes are telling me different to what their scales are which is why im getting weighed at my surgery next week. after all at the surgery money doesnt change hands.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/04/2012 22:44

ditto clothes - my bf says he can see loss in my face,plus jeans are baggy - he said i had a saggy arse today (in jeans lol) or would have been slapped

my jeans are def less tight round legs/bum and waist so maybe i am losing inches rather then lbs

carernotasaint · 09/04/2012 22:59

i think thats the case here too blondes. skirts are loose. tights are loose around the thighs and little things like leaning forward in the bath to reach for the soap i realise theres not so much stomach there lol

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/04/2012 23:01

im always gonna have a tummy :(

but waists def seem looser (tho tonight i did succumb to my thorntons egg ) :( but thought better to eat it so least all gone

did wonder if my scales could be wrong as 1 lb is a pathetic amount to lose

carernotasaint · 09/04/2012 23:01

see if i was ill i would get a second opininon on finding the best treatment so why not with my weight? i havent had any choc,cake biscuits etc since valentines FFS. i expected better than this.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/04/2012 23:03

true, then again all scales seem to weigh different, so maybe i should weigh every week on boots scaless

i do sw alone at home coz i refuse to pay £5/6a week for someone to weigh me, also as i work different days/hours i prob couldnt get to the same meeting each week, hence different scales again

carernotasaint · 09/04/2012 23:21

Only last week i was saying to another member that the line between the diet industry and celebrity culture is becoming increasingly blurred. Lo and behold in this weeks Reveal magazine theyve got a SW choc lovers diet and the chance to join for free. These celebrity mags are mostly bought by young women and girls and its been on "spread the word" on facebook. Sorry but i think this is wrong on so many levels.

03angels · 10/04/2012 14:00

Hi ladies, my scales say Iv lost 3lb this week , I'm going to weigh myself before going tnight in same clothes and see what the WI scales say!! Il let u no later Blush

jeansforever · 10/04/2012 16:58

Fingers crossed for you angels.
This bank holiday has done me in , ive eaten out twice and had an easter egg so i'm too scared to go on mine .
I'm currently in damage limitation mode and just drunk loads of water today and have hardly eaten ,i will do the same as tomorrow hopefully i will just not have lost instead of gaining.
At least i'm not staying for the meeting as will have the kids in tow so nobody will know haha!

Thanks carer- doin SW

carernotasaint · 10/04/2012 22:37

3angels my weigh in night is wednesday. I have an appointment to be weighed at my surgery next weds afternoon and my sw class is at 7pm so i will be wearing the same clothes too. im doing it because my clothes are getting looser each week so the inches im losing dont seem to correspond with their scales.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/04/2012 00:17

well done 3 angels

03angels · 11/04/2012 00:21

I agree carer- keep us updated I'm really intrigued
