Slinkies Resurrected!

[prettybird]

It's a while since we "met" on the Big/Slim/Whatever Weight Loss Club, but with a few of us back on the Boot Camp and SW, we thought it would be good to re-start our own small support thread :)

I'm doing Boot Camp and have lost 5lb since Monday 2012 was a pretty shitty year - I'm looking forward to 2013 being better and this is a start!

[prettybird]

Smalline - you do need to look at things as averages over a few weeks - and that's still a good result!

[prettybird]

Blondes - congratulations on your pound! :)

[Blondeshavemorefun]

thanks :)

pretty how was wi today?

[prettybird]

Another 5lb - that's 12lb in two weeks and I'm down to 12stone 4lb :):)

I know it'll slow up but it's a damn good start!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

5lbs loss

Well done :) makes my lb seem pathetic :(

[prettybird]

It's not pathetic - it's all progress!

Keep that going and you'll reach your goal in a sustainable way.

[Smalline]

Well done Blondes & Pretty on your losses .

praying for a loss this week but not exactly holding my breath.

[prettybird]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too.

My weight loss has stopped - but I was expecting it to. If I can lose one or two pounds by Monday I'll be happy, but if I don't, then I need to look at the longer term picture, ie I've already lost 12lb since 7January

I'm still bring really good though - continuing on full Boot Camp although I did have two brazil nuts today but I have a planned "cheat" tomorrow when there will sugar and oats in the cranachan (the whisky, raspberries and cream are all allowed in this Way of Eating) and the oats in the haggis

It'll also be my first alcohol since the 7th!

[Smalline]

Thanks Pretty, I really admire your determination[bsmile]

[Blondeshavemorefun]

2 lbs off :)

[prettybird]

Well done Blondes.

I enjoyed my Burns Supper last night and didn't stray too far. Still think I'll be lucky if I lose anything this week ( might manage a pound) as Week 3 and 4 of LC Bootcamp are notoriously poor for weight loss. I just need to be patient.

[Smalline]

Well done Blondes, I'm joining you in the 2lb club this week a total of 7lbs off so far.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Pretty
How are you doing Crumb?

[prettybird]

I STS on Monday - which is what I expected, especially after my lovely boozy Burns Supper :)

But I did a sneaky weigh-in yesterday and had lost two pounds (which were still "lost" this morning), which means that since 7 January I have lost a stone! :):)

[prettybird]

"Officially" weighed in yesterday with the 2lb loss I'd already seen middle of last week :) , so 12 stone 2lb

Still pleased though - that's a stone since 7 January!

I have to admit though to a sneaky hope that I can break the 12stone barrier by Thursday. The reason is that I'd kept that objective in unrealistic though it was for my "Month" objectives - most of which had been written down in the wee planner thing I have at some point last year (when I wasn't over 13stone). So when I wrote it, it didn't involve losing 1 stone 3lb in a month - but I've come bloody close! :) (Most of the other objectives I had to totally re-write)

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Well done pretty

I had a very bad weekend eating choc cheese white bread and drinking wine as went to stay with my friend

Was lush though

Will accept a gain on Friday with good grace

[prettybird]

Dh is thinking of joining me on Boot Camp, as he's impressed with my progress. Not sure he'll enjoy the two week no alcohol rule though

BTW - I did have a glass and a half of Cava on Friday, but then made dh drink on his own the rest of the weekend.

And I gave away the two toffees I got given as part of the cycling skills course I did on Saturday: we had to pick up a toffee from the coach's outstretched hand, cycle on while unwrapping it, do a tight U-turn, eat it and then give the next rider a high 5.

[prettybird]

Another 3lb off, so I've broken the 12stone barrier! 11stone 13lb

How are the rest of you doing?

[Smalline]

Wow Pretty I am so pleased for you

I worry though, how can I ask this without offending you, cos we are both ladies of a certain age are there any drawbacks with the weight coming off so quickly?

I lost the plot last week, couldn't 'fast' and was not eating as healthily as I should, sort of back on it this week but have put on a pound, hoping for better results this week, hopefully lots of walking and moving about which should shift a pound or two.

How are you doing Blondes and Crumb

[prettybird]

None that I can see yet Smalline

I am however being anal very conscientious about exfoliating/body polishing every shower/bath, moisturising afterwards and also (with my lovely Clarins Extra Rich Body Lotion) moisturising all over before going to bed.

I don't know if the amount of water and fat I have been having helps.

I am now three notches in on the belt I am using to benchmark my progress
