Morning all.

Weigh in this morning and I have lost a whopping 2 oz, which is alright as it is still not a gain. So weight today 18.0.2 st.

Holiday on Friday so will be damage limitation next time I weigh in, would like to get below 18st by Friday which is when we leave,but I seem to have got out of the lose 2lbs gain 2lbs habit which I spent all of last year doing.

FiveGoMad - well done on your loss, any loss is better than a gain!

Taggie - I know how that feels but you know that most of that is going to be water. If you do well for a few days it will come right off again.

Weigh-in for me this morning and have lost 4 pounds which am pleased with. One more pound and then I move from the obese to just very overweight category according to BMI Blush.

I won't be doing an official weigh-in next week as we are going to be staying at my parents over half-term and I always way differently on their scales. Staying there is always a bit of a challenge as they always have really nice food. And wine.

So, this morning I did for the first time level 1 of Extreme Shed and Shred. 30-day shred must have done something for me as I actually really enjoyed it, especially the kick-boxing part. Great way for getting rid of stress!

TerraNotSoFirma · 12/02/2013 20:00

13 stones on the button.
So lost about half a pound.
Def into the 12's next week (how many weeks have I been saying that?)

Been doing lots of walking and can feel my fitness levels increasing.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 12/02/2013 21:44

Today has been crap though, but I know why, bring on the menopause.

Your twins are making an appearance early Taggie Grin. It is a blip and you have had a tough couple of weeks, put it behind you and move forward.

Good luck for your next weigh in Terra.

Well done Guitar Girl.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 15/02/2013 07:52

Right all, I am off on holiday today so am weighing in my pre holiday weight at 17.12.6st,

See you all when I get back.

PuggyMum · 15/02/2013 09:36

I too go on holiday tomorrow and have stayed the same this week at 14st3.5.

When I get back, I'll ask everyone for a quick round up so you've got two weeks to get back in the swing!!

I'm in this for the long haul so don't let a bad week stop you!!

We've had some great successes and I'll try to log on to have a cheeky catch up while I'm away!

OneSliceOfSwissCheese · 15/02/2013 10:18

Hullo all,

I've been hiding and eating. Well done those who are still losing. You are an inspiration.

Puggy and Five, have a lovely holiday. By the time you return I will be a shining example of motivation and sensible weight loss!

Me and DH have decided to try for DC number 2, which is very exciting. So if that isn't a motivation to get healthy I don't know what is.

Puggy and Five - have lovely lovely holidays.

My phantom twins are at least 20lbs each.

I am saying hello but I daren't weigh in. I had a bad eating week.Hmm

BoffinMum · 16/02/2013 08:33

Shybairns, that's not unfeminist. Men are hard wired to like slim but sensibly curvy women as that's perceived as biologically healthy, so go for it, I say.

Guitargirl · 16/02/2013 08:37

Have had a really bad few days food-wise which I know is related to work-stress. Am off now for a week for half-term, going to stay at my parents for the week. Have to do better from today or else am going to see it all put back on again. I know because it has happened before! I need to get my head back into it.

MegBusset · 16/02/2013 08:53

Hi, can I join? I have singularly failed to lose the weight I put on over Christmas - I have been exercising plenty but eating & drinking too much! After big meals with too much wine on Thurs and yesterday, I have weighed in at 9.4 this morning. Would like to be 8.12 or 9st max. Will be logging on MFP, weigh in weekly and post here on Saturdays :)

LargeGlassofRed · 16/02/2013 11:08

Weigh in this morning, have lost 8lbs in two weeks, really pleased didn't expect to loose anything as been on heavy duty steroids, but start reducing again Wednesday.
Finding the app mfp really helpful as easy to record as you eat.

BoffinMum · 16/02/2013 17:08

Have weighed self. Not put any weight on! That has to be a good thing given the bad food entering my mouth. Currently eating a Very Healthy Diet in order to get back on track.

Guitargirl · 19/02/2013 10:39

Hello everyone - it's quiet on here!

Today would normally be a weigh-in day for me but we are away for half term so am going to wait until next week. Haven't been able to do Shred while have been here but am attempting to go for a run most days instead.

Hope everyone is doing well - onwards and downwards!!

momb · 19/02/2013 12:06

195lb for me today. That's 2lb off. My ulcer is much better so I'm going to start eating veg again this week which should help the weightloss. I've really struggled to lose while eating a low acidity low fibre diet!
Onward and upward to all of us :-D

momb · 19/02/2013 12:11

Just read back and realised that i completely mussed Puggy's news. Congratulations Smile

momb · 19/02/2013 12:11

missed (sigh)

CJMommy · 19/02/2013 21:10

Hello All!

Been MIA since 23rd ish January....can I rejoin please??
Weighed in this morning at 10st 8lbs; think my start weight was 11st 1lb? I think i've just been yo-yoing for the last few weeks - was 10st 6lbs last week Hmm. Think that's down to not eating enough, missing lunches etc. Then i end up gorging at night when the kids in bed!

MFP has been a bit of a stranger too so going to do that again tomorrow.
Just bought Davina's new DVD. A friend recommended it. It will either get used or join the rest of the exercise DVD's in the cupboard [think positive thoughts!]

TerraNotSoFirma · 19/02/2013 22:34

Hello all.
Hope everyone who is on holidays enjoys theMselves.

12st 13lbs today, yeehaa, for me saying 12 something seems so so much lighter than 13 something.

I am going to be very very good this week and stay in the 12's. all the dog walking is helping, I can see the start of a bit of definition in my stomach again and my size 14 jeans zip up (slight muffin top but I am overlooking that for now)

Will be starting the dreaded shred next week as well, that should get things moving downwards. I have zero fitness though, I'll be breathing out of my backside I'm sure.

Hello everyone.

I've been away for 24 whole hours and have eaten my weight in chips. Also out on friday evening.

I'm all up 2 down 2 but hovering around the 15.8 mark.

Humph.

OneSliceOfSwissCheese · 22/02/2013 18:57

Evening all.

I've managed to scrabble back on the wagon this week. Jumped on the scales the other day and am a little over 12 stone so I have put a few pounds on. Am hoping I will soon be back under the 12 stone mark. Maybe next week?? We're away at the inlaws this weekend, so I'm hoping I can stay fairly on track.

To be honest I've been a bit worried about my 1 year old's development so have been feeling really anxious and it's put me off my food this week.

MegBusset · 23/02/2013 08:51

Morning all. 9.1.5 this morning so 2.5lb down from last week :)

FiveGoMadInDorset · 24/02/2013 08:24

I am back, had an amazing time but fuck me it's cold back here. Anyway ventured on the scales today and managed to put on only 2 oz, so 17.12.8. Will be back to official way in on Tuesday.
