Your worse than Coddy!!!!

Have to go now anyway to feed little dd, so will go to bed.

Goodnight all.Thanks for stopping my binge tonight Nearlymybeetrootday, does that mean what I think it does????!!!!

I wouldn't worry either Pops, I have a top recommended weight of 11st 6lbs and am generally happy enough at about the 11st even slightly over. I think I would look positively skeletal at the lowest recommended weight of 8st 6lbs, as long as you are within the recommended weight and happy with yourself, I wouldn't stress about it.

Demented · 10/01/2004 23:14

Oh beetroot's terrible Melsy, far worse than Coddy, you should try joing her sit-ups club!

Demented · 10/01/2004 23:14

joining even

Lisa78 · 10/01/2004 23:18

that site doesn't take your general body frame into account does it? I have quite a small frame and hover at the lower end of the recommended weights (when not overweight that is )

How had everyone managed now that Friday and Saturday are out of the way?

I slipped up a bit with a chinese last night but had saved quite a few points for it but still dont like doing it - feels like Im cheating even if Im not necessarily IYKWIM

What is your plan for Sunday lunch?

Beccarollover · 11/01/2004 09:35

I'm SO not drinking enough water - Im terrible for that and think it would make HUGE difference if I just pulled my finger out and did it! Sometimes I get to late afternoon and realised Ive had NOTHING to drink all day - not good

Hulababy · 11/01/2004 09:37

Doing fine, even had soem wine Friday and Saturday and kept within my daily amounts. I have 12 points saved towards my meal out - Italian - this lunch time too.

Beccarollover · 11/01/2004 09:41

oooo Hulababy - enjoy it wont you - yum could quite fancy italian meal.

melsy · 11/01/2004 09:41

I read in the waitrose mag that we dont need 2litres , that it has been proven incorrect as it doesnt take into accpunt all the water foundin the food we eat, esp fruit & veg???

zippy539 · 11/01/2004 12:48

Hulababy -thanks for the knicker info. I'm off to M&S to try some on! Anything to avoid sit ups...

Hi, doing OK I think - I'm not disciplined enough like most of you to do any formal points/weigh diet scheme so am taking the Ann Widdecombe stance of 'eat less, exercise more' (I do feel that I should point out that she's not a heroine of mine although I did enjoy a book of hers). Although early days, its working so far; probably as I had got a few bad habits of snacking between meals, man-size portion of food and no exercise!

The weekly weigh-in is really helping me as I don't want to lose face, even though I don't know you all it is helping to motivating me, so thanks to you all for keeping up with the motivational messages and support.

Better dash - dh taken ds1+2 to his Mum's so I can get some jobs done around the house, (monsoon wedding soundtrack blasting out the speakers ) so I'd better show willing...

Hulababy · 11/01/2004 19:07

I did really well at the Italian. I had pasta with a fresh vegatable and tomato sauce. No garlic bread or starter, and no wine. It is heping as I feel so lousy with really painful sinus trouble.

Can I just put in a special mention of my DH? He did his weigh in this evening for me and in his first week he's lost 4 pounds. He has done really well and stuck to all the guidelines I set him for lunches and hasn't snacked at all.

CountessDracula · 12/01/2004 19:44

How is that men seem to get compliments when losing weight so much more often/quicker than women?

Well done to your Dh too.

Megans nursery teacher said to me today "your lucky very thin missus" which was nice :D

I think Id like to be a ww leader, but think i would have to stick to diets better than i do to qualify!!

Hulababy · 12/01/2004 19:59
