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

Ooh sazz you're back with a vengeance putting me to shame !!!

Didn't quite manage to low carb over the weekend, better than usual but still a bit shit and was consequently +4 yesterday down to +1.5 today which is progress so let's see what a few days of being properly good can do...

Fjorn - apologies for my dull posting of daily weights, but i find if i know i am reporting in here then it helps keep me on the straight and narrow.

DH is away this week, so it makes it easier for me as i simply don't have bread around and cook the girls tea early when i am not tempted.

I may be going out for lunch later with another school mum whose DC are all now packed off, so that might be a test......

Well done on your reduced bloatage today - 4 good days and you'll be grand

Oops. Tripped up by my good friend with wine at lunchtime. I did avoid all other carbs though so not as bad as it might have been

ok. made it through the rest of the day unscathed by carbs (or alcohol)

Circuits in the morning

Good luck with the circuits sizz

Hope you are having a good week fjorn

Still down by 2.5 which if I can stay at or ideally lower by fri will be pleased

+1.25 [sigh]

That'll be the wine sazz!

Glad you are feeling more positive loti, the run of ill health you guys have had would have had me drowning in gin and crisps so well done for your restraint!

I am down a bit more today, can't actually remember how much as was too early but either 0.75 or 1lb At work today so easier to resist temptation...

Bloody wine

2k run, 1hr circuits, 10 mins powerplate.

No carbs yet

Back to 10.12.5. Not sure i will make target tomorrow at this rate!

Busy day today so not sure i will fit any exercise in but will try.

At least it's down though sazz

I seem to have finally got my low carb vibe on and lost nearly 3lb yesterday! Am 12 10.5 so still a very long way to go...16.5lb up on my low, 8 weeks till Birmingham!

Wow Fjorn, tis amazing - are you actually shrinking in real time when you look in the mirror?

Managed another day with no carbs but probably a tad calorie heavy.

Evens at 10.12.5

Bit hacked off if I'm honest and remembering that low carb doesn't seem to be the magic for me that it is for some. Going to try and have a good weekend and then concentrate on diet and exercise next week, probably back to using ff.

Well done on the evens sizz, that is a very impressive 5.5 in the last week or so so you should be proud of that

Well I had an interesting weigh in this am. Got up went on scales 0.25 down. About half an hour later went for shower and big wee and thought oh I will have a sneaky look again +1.5lbs!!!! So needless to say I am taking the -0.25!!! So officially down 2.75

Hope weigh in was good fjorny

Just another 0.25lb off this morning but down 2 altogether on last Friday. Just got to keep it up over the weekend...

LOL at your weird wee loti well done for being down though

sazz sorry you don't think low-carbing isn't working for you, but you can do FF with magnificent results so fingers crossed for next week

Hurrah Ladies. Well done

c.4 mile walk this morning in the sunshine with my neighbour which was lovely. Off to run round the shops now.

E come home from school feeling rubbish, sympathy at an all time low. Maybe drowning in alcohol later

Up 0.75 pesky have either of you thought of trying the 5:2 diet? The fasting two days (well 500 cals) and eating normally but healthy the other 5?

Thinking of giving it a swirl

Evens here. No carbs and no wine. FFS.

I think I might pass out on 500 cals loti!

Lol siz apparently the best way to do it is fast until lunch, have a 250cal lunch and same for dinner. You always have pretty low cal but filling meals tho!!!

Reckon it's time you spoke to lord focus again

Well I accidentally tried the fast diet yesterday. Busy day and then evening out.. Went to bed starving and tmi lots of wind , am up 0.25 so I am not trying that diet

LOL, i accidentally tried the beer and curry diet

+1 and AF this morning. Was off the wagon for 24hrs, now back on it

Walked 3 miles this morning in the lovely sunshine.

-2 to 10.11.5

I have been doing Loads of painting over the last 3 days so maybe that is paying off.

Walking to school and then aiming to run after helping out in classroom.

Well done sizz, I have not gone near the scales

Well T finally starts school tomorrow so back on the straight and narrow then, expecting lots of tears! (from me not her lol)

5 mile walk/run

I can feel my shins though. Grrrrr

Hurrah for DD2 finally getting to join in. DD2 here calmly announced she was not going to school this morning
