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

Thanks LOTI. Exercise felt food but tried some trousers on when I went shopping. Not good.

AF arrived today. Deep joy. Also I usually lose weight before AF so that was probably last weeks loss and why I am now stuck. Today will count as a fast day but only if I count exercise cals . Really not sure what I am doing tbh

Passes sazz I have no idea what I am doing either need a bout of dd2's tonsillitis

Thanks LOTI. I am doing my usual trick of soaking in the bath for an hour or so to prevent eating! No idea on cals today but probably about 600 so counting it as a fast day what with my rather vigorous exercise! Also can't so fast tomorrow as off out t'pub tomorrow evening

+0.25 I am not doing very well at this whole weight loss thing

1lb off to 10.12.75 - 1.25 off for the week which is ok if not stunning. Would be happy if this rate continues as I know it will be a harder slog without the gym 4 times a week.
LOTI - don't worry about small gains - remember healthy eating and some exercise will keep you all good

I've put one back on, oops! May have been the biscuits or the delicious potato scones I had with my tea... Anyway it's a fasting day today so should get rid of that and fingers crossed a tiny bit more.

Sazz well done for your loss this week. You're so close to your target that it's gonna be trickier. I have projected a weekly 1lb loss on my chart and it would be enough to get me thinner than ever (although still a bit overweight!) by Christmas, and any more would be a bonus.

loti don't sweat the 1/4s here and there! What is your actual target / goal of this weight loss? You are already SO slim I can't imagine you want to lose much? Do you do pilates or something similar to firm up your core muscles?

Colleague has brought in cakes for his birthday. Aaaarrrggggghhhh!!!

Stay strong fjorny

Dd1 now has massive ear infection dd2 still no better and when I asked doc how long he said for the length of the antibiotics a week arghhh

Mean mummy is going to pick up their homework at lunchtime as not sure if either will be back tomorrow!

Failing miserably with willpower. I need to exercise and tone up alot!!!

Just for logging purposes:

Thurs 5th sept - 11.4
Thurs 12 sept - 11.0
Thurs 19 sept - 10.12.75

Trying to see the longer term trend lol...

Going in the right direction sazz nearly 1/2 stone down well done

Glass of wine and some nuts at the pub but all within cals. I expect the scales will show a blip but I shall ignore and work towards next thurs.

Two down on the week to 12 6 actually starting to feel it a bit too but not time to ease off like I usually do MUST keep going...

sazz well done for sticking to calorie allowance! One glass of booze is never enough for me Good work on being comfortably 10-something

loti hope your house of ill feels a lot better today xxx

Down 0.75 which considering I have been housebound for the last three days with no exercise at all is not bad

Well done fjorny its nice when you can feel a difference

Still in the house of doom here. Dd1 def off school and am about to check dd2!

Dad here this weekend so alot of will be consumed

Back to 11.0

I was driving Fjorn, so 1 was my limit!

Well done in the losses ladies. Vair jealous as I have been really pretty good this week and done exercise. Just feel like I'm on a bungee which keeps pulling me back to 11

But sazz last week you were 11 2 so you're down 2!

I have just had a piece of swiss roll BUT had an epiphany as it wasn't actually that nice so I had two bites and THREW THE REST IN THE BIN!!!!!!! this means I can try the lemon cake in a bit

loti yay for -0.75

Sazz I had an epiphany yesterday I haven't been drinking water! Coffee by the buck load, the odd diet coke and odd glass of water. Drank 1.5litres of just water and wondering if that helped?

Don't be disheartened we are in it for the long haul I dread to think what the scales will say tomorrow. Housework and dinner to make for dad, dds driving me up the walk wish it was already! Having a to give me strength

Thanks for the kick Fjorn - just what I needed when feeling sorry for myself! I'll keep at it.....

LOTI I have been drinking water, but had an extra 2 glasses because of you

Well done on cake swervage. We have a HUGE cake in our office but I am ignoring it for now

Swerved cake and free sandwiches. Just about within calories yesterday and still 11.0

Well done sazz the 0.75 I lost has just reappeared gah!

oops so far up many today so back on the wagon today instead of tomorrow. Have lovely roasty chicken for tea so not much roast potato and lots of veggies for me! It's not helping having my news feed full of photos of cake though, that kitschnbake beauty has me itching to reach for my mixing bowl...

Not had massive blowout but prob 2000 cals each day. Shouldn't be a major problem but seems to keep stalling me at the mo

+7. FFS.

It won't surprise you to learn I am fasting today...

11.1.5. I was feeling bad about this as I seem to end up at the same whatever I have or haven't eaten

But then again it's not +7 lol

Impressive Fjorn

Typically to buck the trend I am down 1.75 however v stressful weekend with dds still not 100% and my dad over. Am 100% sure that by tomorrow that 1.75 will magically reappear!

Fjorny u sure your scales are right??? Very impressive! Am sure its water weight!

Sazz you are up and down like a yo yo how frustrating

I know LOTI. V pissed off but won't let it beat me yet

Please don't lose too much LOTI - you are gorgeous and slim. Hope the stresses ease soon as it is no good for your health {{hugs}}

How are you both doing on the non smoking btw?

Fast day - rocket & parmesan salad for lunch, mushroom soup for tea. Lots of water.
