New week, new thread - let's fill it with positive attitude and lots of support.

Congrats Arfy - i knew a dietician who lost weight during her pregancy (deliberately) I think she was v v careful though and obviously knew what she was supposed to be eating.

IIRC she lost for the first 4 months then put on very slowly for rest of pregnancy (effectively only put on baby and fluid weight).

I'm feeling very "up" this week Grin how's everyone else doing?

suejonez · 20/06/2006 16:45

only me then!

Or is everyone else out in the sunshine before it starts raining?

I was busy drooling at raw cake mix on the non-PC mothers thread. Blush

I don't know if I've lost any weight this week but I've been pretty good. I gave in to the temptation of ds1's birthday cake but otherwise have an almost clear conscience. :o

suejonez · 20/06/2006 16:58

I don;t know whether i've lost either (also dribbling at thought of raw cake mix) but just feel better generally about it this week. I've made some small adjustments which I hope will help. You know, no mango chutney on my curry, less salad cream/mayo on salads, solero ice lolly instead of higher cal desert - that kind of thing. Also put a lot of effort into aqua on Monday so feeling virtuous, and if life was fiar it will show in my weight loss...

...we'll see. Still, a good week what ever happens.

JackieNo · 20/06/2006 17:55

Feeling pretty good here too, though not sure if my night of (moderat) excess last Friday will have scuppered any weight loss. We'll see tomorrow (can I keep off the scales till then I wonder?)

MrsJohnCusack · 20/06/2006 22:03

I don't even dare weigh myself tomorrow TBH....

This is my new name BTW - I was arfy. Too much confusion with arfishymeau

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

suejonez · 20/06/2006 22:30

You and I could well fall out over that name MrsJC...

MrsJohnCusack · 20/06/2006 22:33

yes I have created great animosity by revealing my true identity on here - I don't know, the jealousy one has to put up with Grin

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 08:10

Getting in there early today, so have weighed and emailed you WWB. .

schneebly · 21/06/2006 08:13

I guess you had a good week then Jackie? I will e-mail now too.

Oh fio! It is not so bad - you are still lighter than you were 2 weeks ago at least.

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 08:18

Just a pound, but that makes it officially my first stone. Hurray. Just another 4 or 5 to go

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 08:19

And FioFio, please don't beat yourself up - as Schneebly says - you're still better than you were 2 weeks ago.

schneebly · 21/06/2006 08:20

Well done jackie - I needed 2.5lbs to get my stone - I was 1/2 pound short AAARGH! Will join you in the stone club next week I hope!

dublindee · 21/06/2006 09:25

YAY!!! I lost 3lbs - happy days! o)

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 10:14

Oh well done Dublindee. And you too, Schneebly - but how frustrating to be so close! Still next week, eh.

coppertop · 21/06/2006 10:28

I weighed myself this morning and am still in shock. After putting on 1lb last week I've actually lost 4lbs this week!!

I think dh was getting seriously p*ssed off though by the 30th chorus of "I've lost four pounds!"

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 10:32

Blimey Coppertop - that's very impressive.

dublindee · 21/06/2006 10:33

Go copper!

suejonez · 21/06/2006 11:01

DD - as I said last week "It'll come off quite quickly as you've only just put it on. "

Told you so! (I just love saying that).

Well done Coppertop

FioFio - hope you don't get crushed in the stampede for the crown but both DD and FF put on last week and look at the week they've had this week - an inspiration to you!

First stone is a lovely marker isn't it, JackieNo - but don't look at it as ONLY 1 stone of 5 - thats 20% of your weightloss done already.

I'll be weighing at lunchtime - not going to rival you lot but hopefully will be OK.

good for you - bet that shifted half a pound of it [hopeful emoticon]

I've emailed - good week for me too (at last)

JackieNo · 21/06/2006 14:35

Yay Suejonez - good for you .
