After nearly being late for work on account of waiting for ahem nature first before weighing... 2lbs off! What a relief, chief! - I still suspect that Chinese will haunt me though...

Well done everyone and to the non-movers/gainers (me last week!) remember that damn glitch! ;)

slothprincess · 02/07/2012 12:23

Right, weigh in for me too this morning. I've lost 1 1/2 pounds. I know it would have been much for if I hadn't gone a bit crazy over the weekend (chinese takeaway last night for goodness sake. Have some willpower woman!!).

Congrats to the those who've had a good loss for our first week. And to those who are doing really well with the exercise.

Welcome whyme Smile

Well done everyone on weight loss this week. I am not weighing properly this week as in my mums and her scales are much nicer to me! :) according to them I have lost 7lb which I am not convinced about as I have been eating out and having small desserts with friends. All I can say is thank god for bf and extra calorie allowance !

I have been doing the shred and lots of walking so I may have lost a bit. The logging into Mfp is keeping me from straying too much! Good luck everyone this week and I will keep lurking and popping in and out.

My next official weigh in won't be till Tuesday 10 th so hoping to see a big improvement on original weight.

FurCough · 02/07/2012 13:09

Mamma thank you for the stern but kindly words, I needed that more than the custard creams :) I had porridge instead, DS and I are friends again and the world looks a bit better!

am chuckling at Kato waiting for nature. I do that too..

MilkshakeMaker · 02/07/2012 17:33

Ahh see thats where i'm going wrong, I've lost 1lb. Am going to HAVE to do it again tomorrow after nature, just to test the theory!! hee hee

Well if thats not a kick up the arse I dont know what is, starting a thread and losing the least out of everyone!!

chips thats a very good idea of one day at a time, I may use your logic for myself, that way I cant say i'll exercise tomrrow as I wont be paying attention to the rest of the week its the day i'm on that matters.

Well Done to everyone that weighed today i'm jealous! Really really good!

Well done everyone :o
keep up the good work. I am away for a couple of days with work so I'll either eat pretty much nothing, or treat myself to loads of nice and calorie laden goodies.
Hoping it's the first...

OddBoots · 02/07/2012 18:02

Can you bring some nice but low cal snacks with you SPB?

StealthPolarBear · 02/07/2012 18:05

Yeah I am, but will need to buy sandwiches etc. And the sandwiches I like are all very calorific! Hopefully will get some vegi sushi, I really enjoy that and its usually low cal

wherearemysocks · 02/07/2012 19:03

I'm with you stealth, I'm not going away but I have two days of meetings coming up where ther are going to be lots of food and drink temptation.

Tomorrow should not be too bad as I know where the meeting is there is a new healthy food fast food type place round the corner, so if I can get out and avoid the buffet I should be ok.

But Wednesday we are having a meeting where there will be 3 reps bringing bar snacks and fruit ciders for us to sample (I run a pub), so it will literally be my job to eat and drink on Wednesday!

Keep up the good work everyone.

LollipopViolet · 02/07/2012 19:11

Well, it's my mum's birthday today, and I've still done OK food wise.

OK, lunch was a tad unhealthy - make that VERY unhealthy, but the rest was OK, and I've been to the gym so should be alright. That's my one treat meal for the week done now though, going to be super good.

Get my final degree results tomorrow - EEK!

TheOneWithTheHair · 02/07/2012 19:23

Oh good luck Lollipop. That's so exciting. Let us know how you get on. You are excused a glass or three of bubbly to celebrate. Grin

KateSpade · 02/07/2012 20:54

I cant quite find the motivation to go to the gym tonight. Its weigh in tomorrow aswell! AAHHHHHHH!!

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/07/2012 21:11

Hi folks,
I know I am late, but can I join you.. I have done this so many times on MN, joined threads and not kept up with it but I stood on the scales yesterday and it said 14 stone... it made me want to cry.
so I weighed in again this morning. Starting weight (after ablutions) 13st10lb
a very tight 16 of comfy size 18.
need proper hard core bullying, DH keeps telling me he just wants me to be happy with my size whatever size that is. Friends say Im not fat, Im curvy..

I am FAT!! and I don't want to be. Help me!

MammaTo2boys · 02/07/2012 21:28

Hello to whyme and neverknowingly
Lollipop good luck for your results tomorrow.
I managed my second run since having the baby today, but my pelvic floor muscle needs a lot of work Blush, kept peeing on the faster bits. I know its only been 3 weeks but I hope it fixes up soon.
I'm still in my maternity clothes as none of my normal stuff fits me and I'm refusing to go and buy new clothes in a size I hope not to be for too long.
Hope everyone has managed to stay in the zone, no mindless snacking whilst watching tv, take care

travellingwilbury · 02/07/2012 21:29

Kate ! I hope you are at the gym by now , you will regret it when you step on those scales tomorrow .

Welcome ! I am fat too and I am determined not to be any more , I have now been officially the fattest I will ever be . I will be slim and healthy very soon !

LollipopViolet · 02/07/2012 21:30

Nooooooooooo! :(

I have to be on a shoot at 10am tomorrow. Uni results go online at 10 and my phone HATES the uni website with a passion!

GAH!

Wanted to click the results button with family around in case it wasn't good, or if it was great. No chance of that now :(

travellingwilbury · 02/07/2012 21:36

Oh no lollipop ! If it was me I would tell my head that the results won't be out till five and just wait until you get back , I know its hard but I would want to be in reach of champagne while clicking and when you get home will feel a more reasonable time to get pissed anyway .

Good luck !

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/07/2012 21:36

oh Lollipop, is there any chance you can get a friend to look and call you with the result? then you have some one to celebrate with?

LollipopViolet · 02/07/2012 21:47

Hmmm, well I've just tried the web address we've been given through my phone, and the first page loads! Whether my phone will let me log in and check, I don't know.

Can't really get a friend to check - I might see if I can hold out til I get home, or maybe go and see my lovely course leader and do it then.

Know I'm going to be clicking madly on my phone come 10am

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/07/2012 21:53

What course have you been doing?
I know I wouldn't be able to wait either Smile

LollipopViolet · 02/07/2012 22:10

I've been doing film production, very hard work but I really enjoyed it - except the bit about getting chicken pox near a deadline and failing.

Although if I didn't fail, I'd never have met my boyfriend (been together 8 months as of today).

Back to weight loss related things - I've had a little bit of my mum's birthday cake and am just on MFP trying to work out what to log carrying lots of kit and rushing round filming as tomorrow!

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/07/2012 22:13

Grin if only we could burn calories by seeking answers to questions.

marriedinwhite · 02/07/2012 22:15

Lost 2.5lb at tonight's weigh in. Better than last week's 1/2lb. 3lb in total so far. Doesn't seem a lot for all the effort. Must keep plugging away.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/07/2012 22:17

married that is really good! if you went and picked up a 2lb bag of sugar it is not insignificant to have lost in 2 weeks
