17th thread lucky for successful and sustained weight loss????? Let's hope so!!!

How fjorn? Did you have something really salty the last couple of days (cos obviously its not real fat, just water). Whereabouts are you based? It's just with you saying 'owt' further up-thread...I'm wondering if you're near me?

Still no exercise. I don't get it, cos I know it makes me feel good when I'm in the zone. In a bit of a rut at the moment. I actually went to work with no make up on today . My eyebrows need threading too...what on earth is happening to me?

Hi mychild I think I am on the other side of the pennines to you, I'm a wakey lass

Re the massive gain, I am the same every week give or take a lb or two, due to excessive booze and crisp consumption Only managed to wee 1lb of it out yesterday so going to try and drink LOADS of water today...

Do any of you have good arse steaks? (See the thread in Relationships)

Back spasm gaad tummy sticking out as a result, not a good week

Ouch loti hope your back feels better soon.

mychild what???

Lots of weeing yesterday so am now 'only' +1.5 on Friday with 48 hours to go. Fingers crossed...

sazz how's your foot?

All the drinking is definitely helping - down 1.75 on yesterday so down 0.25 on last Friday with still a day to go

Not sure how I will get on next week as I'm off for half term, which tends to lead to drinking every day and copious scoffage Maybe a good result tomorrow will encourage me not to????

Well done fjorny

Haven't braved the scales but guess I will Tom

I also have half term nxt week. Dd2 off today with tummy bug and I already feel like I am eating more than I usually would

Down a pound on last week, so it's very slow but steady and have lost 5lb in the last three weeks. Definitely feeling a bit thinner around my ribs (although not my tummy!) Not many weeks to Christmas though and 1lb per week isn't going to get me far...

Well done fjorny

Braved the scales and still 0.75 down from last week

Agree with you tho, it coming off v v slowly

At least it's coming off loti! You can't have that much to lose though can you? I reckon I would like to lose two stone and then see how I feel / look before thinking about maybe losing some more. I was within 4lb of normal BMI in March, now I am 15.5lb away

Been out for a lovely walk this afternoon and took the DC to a cafe after. Instead of gorging myself on baked goods I had a cup of tea and only one bite of DD's cake. It's a miracle!

Well done fjorn me not so good I think af is on her way and half term is not helping!!!

Don't worry loti it all went tits up once the DC were in bed

A small slip fjorn well af is here as predicted so hoping the salty/sweet cravings will abate

+1 but to be expected. AF horrible was going to take dds swimming but deffo no, ach well crafting it is

Hope you have swerved some of the half term food loti! +1 not too bad at all, once again I am +5 but been v good today, even turned down pub for telly

Well done fjorny at turning down the pub the low carbing really does seem to work for you

Still the same here sigh., I guess if I could just keep to that or maybe get the lb off by fri it would be good for half term

Still +1 on fri so unless a Miracle occurs by tomorrow that will be me for this week going to drink copious amounts of water!

Hope your week is going well fjorny

Sizz de lurk and come back

Hey loti you're doing well for half term, I'm sadly still +5 at least it's not gone up any more...

Still 0.75 up on last week sick of seeing the same 1lb going up and down.

Sudden bout of d&v started at 9 last night, consequently am only +2 on last Friday.

Oh bless you hope you feel better v soon x

Hope u are feeling better today fjorny? Another amazing 0.25 down better than a gain

Feeling much better thank you loti, although all thoughts of low carbing have gone for now as all I have been eating is toast or bread and butter... Will start again on Monday.

Shouldn't weigh every day a feckin 1.5 up on yesterday and if anything had less to eat than normal, drank water etc... So frustrated and
