Maybe just water retention sazz? Scales not playing ball here is need to get more strict

Well done QOD Grin

QueenofDreams · 31/05/2013 08:47

Thanks Sazz. I wouldn't bet on me passing you soon though. I lose weight very slowly (mainly because I tend to let DP shunt me off the wagon a bit too much) So I lose three pounds gain 2. Stay the same . Gain one. Lose one. Etc. That's how I lose weight.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 05/06/2013 12:39

Got drunk every night of the holidays bar one BlushBlushBlush was consequently +many on Monday, but two days into re-health am back to 12 5.5 again with 2 days to weigh in. 6w 2d to hols

Haha, sounds like you had fun at least Fjor. I have no holiday to look forward to but just want to lose weight anyway.

Thankfully the last two mornings I've weighed in at 11.2 I'm well pleased Grin Still need to lose plenty more though.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 06/06/2013 12:37

QoD that's brilliant, well done! Steady away, you'll get to where you want to be before too long Smile

I'm just 0.5 more off this morning but hoping for a bit more by tomorrow then to undo it all over the weekend...

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 07/06/2013 06:43

About 11 here. Didn't want to focus in the scales too much Hmm

Well done QoD, you'll be past me next week. Keep it going whilst you can as it's really hard to get back into it as I am proving rather too well!

Nice work there Fjorn Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 07/06/2013 09:03

Another paltry 0.5 off to 12 4.5 so think I'm down about 3 or 4 on last week and all the ravages of half term have been undone

Just got to try and actually lose some properly this week...

QueenofDreams · 08/06/2013 14:46

I'm dead on 11 stone as of this morning. This means I've lost 4lb since Monday. That's actually a little faster than I want to lose, as I want my flabby skin to be able to keep up as much as possible Hmm

Come on fjor you can do it!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 11/06/2013 09:41

+5 after the weekend Shock and was worth it though Grin

Really is time to stop though how many times have I said that????? no weekend plans for next few weeks so might manage a few lbs...

OP posts:
QueenofDreams · 11/06/2013 11:44

I put on 2lb over the weeked Fjor. Drank wine Saturday and Sunday with inevitable results really. I've lost one of those pounds again though, so 11.1 here again. maybe I'll manage to get down into the 10s this week (hoping I do!)

SizzleSazz · 11/06/2013 13:52

No idea HmmGrin

luckoftheirish · 12/06/2013 07:54

Oops this slipped off my threads I am on BlushBlushBlush

Too much work too much food no exercise

2 1/2 weeks til do eek

FjorGynAndHotWater · 12/06/2013 08:50

You are gorgeous loti and v v slim but I'm sure the adrenaline rush of the next two weeks will lose you a lb or two!!!

QoD you are doing so well, steady away is deffo the best way to get it off and keep it off.

Sazz Grin

Well I spent most of yesterday weeing and am down 3.5 this morning! Hurrah! Just 1.5 to go to be evens...

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 13/06/2013 08:42

Another 1 off yesterday, so heading in the right direction

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 14/06/2013 08:38

Evens on the week now got to remember that eating like a pig for 3 days then dieting for 4 is not sufficient to actually lose weight. Healthy weekend here I come apart from booze of course...

Hope you losers are losing Grin

Complete weekend fail BlushBlushBlush so am having one last ditch effort and starting the 5:2 diet today Think I will need most of the 500 cals allowed today on milk for coffee but wish me luck!

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 17/06/2013 12:58

Good luck fjorny Smile keep us posted on how it goes! Loads of people rave about it so will be interesting to see how you go Smile

Spent most of the weekend cleaning, today is my only day off from work for the week and again I have been cleaning! If morning scales ATM Blush

FjorGynAndHotWater · 18/06/2013 20:42

Yesterday not too bad at all, half a slice of ham at lunchtime then a bit of chicken breast and a big salad for tea, plenty of tea and coffee! Was surprisingly not starving yesterday but ravenous today Hmm anyway stuck to low carbing today and just made delicious heathy salad for tomorrow's lunch. Will fast again on Thursday, be interested to see what it's like doing it at work!

Bet you are getting excited loti GrinGrin

SizzleSazz · 18/06/2013 21:51

Well done Fjorny - keep going!

I am going to go to circuits tomorrow for the first time in ages. Eek!

SizzleSazz · 19/06/2013 09:24

On treadmill, warming up....!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 19/06/2013 09:44

Lol sazz put your phone down and get sweaty Grin

Still 12 6 today so need at least 1.5 off in next 48 hours just to break even hoping tomorrow's fast has some kind of miraculous effect!

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 19/06/2013 13:50

Ha ha, I got VERY sweaty! However I felt really really good afterwards so am trying to use this as inspiration. I am going to retry cabbage soup diet for a week from today - will officially weigh tomorrow morning. I need to get DH to do it with me though so wish me luck with convincing him of that Grin

There is a group going for a run from the gym tomorrow evening, so am going to try and join that too. I need a fitness partner to keep me on the straight and narrow, but don't know anyone round here who would be interested, although i'll float the idea at school pickup this arvo.

How are you feeling Fjorny?

luckoftheirish · 19/06/2013 18:53

I keep posting and losing my posts grr!

Well done sazz and good luck with cabbage soup!Smile

Well done on your first fast day fjorny!

Two walks today and Pre school trip completed!

Gym on to do list Blush

I am SOOOOOOO rubbish. Dropped DD at an activity, popped back to a friends house and she managed to convince me to have a glass of Wine in the sunshine. FFS!!!! Managed to only have half a small glass, but honestly.........

Well done on all the walking LOTI - best exercise you can get Smile
