[busywizzy]

Good luck one and all

One word for this week(and thats before weighing in) -Shite!
Expecting bad result tomorrow
Loved the dimond idea btw busywizzy.

Oh Tortoise, know I shouldn't have but I just burst out laughing at your 'one word'. Fingers crossed it hasn't been that bad - you've been soooo good for soooo long

9st 13lbs so 1 whole, big, giant pound off for me. YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

9st 10lbs ............. here I come

Buzzywizzy, well done on that weight loss.

The diamond idea is great although I have made no progress this week to winning it.

No change. Ate out for the last 4 days. With dessert!!!!

9.8 omg, I think i've lost 1 whole pound woohooo

Well done everyone, pounds being lost everywhere! Even I've lost that pound at last - 9 stone 6 again now. Or 60 kilos - and did you know that that is the exact same weight as a newborn baby walrus? It says so at the Horniman museum in Dulwich, a great place, full of astonishing bits of information. It amused DD2 immensely that mummy weighs the same as a baby walrus and she has been telling everyone....

how tall are you heavybee?

I've found that only be really starving myself does it make any difference. I have been really good, cut back, given up alcohol, exercise etc etc. Not lost for weeks. These last few days I've hardly eaten anything and hey presto - one measly pound. I know it's not healthy, but I've been trying to loose for months, and starvation seems to be the only way.

Well done for all the loses.
As predicted ive gone up again! 12st5lbs.
Well heres to the end of a shite week and look forward to a better week this week(yeah right!)
Good luck everyone

WOO HOOOO iv lost 1lb!!!!!!!

It feels unreal!!!!...starting to think that maybe my scales are inacurrate!!!

Well done to all who have lost weight,...also,..loved the diamond idea

xxx

tortoise i'm in your gang this week hun

12 stone 4 for me

and i went to costco yesterday and bought a tray of mixed danish to die for think i ate 4 yesterday

must do better next week

1lb off this week for me and I'm saying no more on that subject. Loved the diamond idea busywizzy, well done on finally losing that pound, you are so patient. Monkey, I was a bit worried reading your post, starving yourself, 1 measly pound, it sounds to me (and I may be wrong) that you may not be eating enough and that is why you are not losing more, if you don't eat enough your body reserves the little energy that it has left and does this by slowing your metabolism down. Little and often is the motto. I have been told by a personal trainer that to lose weight we should eat 6 small healthy meals a day (a couple of these meals will be fruit), this speeds up your metabolism and enables you to burn off more calories, it also helps by ensuring that you never feel hungry, therefore are less likely to binge. You exercise, so maybe you are losing the fat and increasing your muscle tone, muscle weighs more than fat. Are your clothes feeling looser? this to me is a better indication that you are losing inches rather than weight, at the end of the day isn't that what we are really striving for, to look better in our clothes? I'll stop ranting now. Well done to everyone, and good luck for next week.

Smalline, I absolutely agree with you about clothes feeling looser. I've lost 1 tiny little pound (although not so little when you feel the weight of half a bag of sugar) and I feel positively skinny this week. I'm beaming about how good I feel and that's such a nice feeling

Monkey, I try and do the little and often thing as I read that in a GI book at Xmas. I have breakfast, a snack mid morning (fruit, ryvita, breadstick, biscuit ), lunch, another snack mid afternoon and tea. I try not to eat in the evening (the hardest bit for me) but if I think I'm starving I try and eat a piece of fruit or a yogurt.

My Race for Life this evening with DD so I'm using that as an excuse to eat LOADS of carbs today

I've had all the weigh-ins except Sleepyjess so I've sent the chart to everyone. SJ, I'll add yours in if you post later today or tomorrow.

A running tally on progress -

Chickenrice (weight loss diamond holder) - 1st 11lbs
Sleepyjess - 1st 4lbs
Tortoise - 1st 2lbs
Me and Jambuttie - 1st 1lb
Heavybee - 8lbs
Smalline - 7lbs
Monkey and Prettyfull have just started but already have 1lb on the loss chart

Well done everyone. I might have a little 'gift' for Smalline and Heavybee if they manage to keep that 1lb off this week

I feel totally motivated today. DD and I ran the Race for Life yesterday evening and I managed to complete the 5k course in about 32 minutes. A friend said to me 'you're bound to run it fast being so tall and slim'. I positively floated round on a cloud of joy to have such a compliment.

It's really made me feel like all the hard work, exercise and food re-training (bad eating habits die hard don't they) has all been worth it. And who would have thought that the 11st unfit woman I was at Xmas could have run non-stop for over half an hour.

Here's DD and I proudly wearing our medals

busywizzy thats fantastic.Well done to you and your dd.You look so skinny in that pic.
I feeling better this week too.Not so much food wise but have done 25min video that came with my lateral thigh trainer(bought beginning of the year,used about twice!)the last two nights.I want to do it every night if i have the time.Its not over strenuos(sp?)but was sweating afterwards.

Congratulations, BusyWizzy! That's wonderful, and very impressive, and it's such a nice picture of you both. I still couldn't run to catch a bus, let alone 5k - but then I never could, even as a thin teenager. I can walk miles without noticing, though, and go up hills all day if I take it slowly enough. It's coming down that's the problem, but as I get rid of the excess podge so the pressure on my knees lessens.

Well done to all of us for sticking with this! Oh, and sorry, Monkey, for not answering earlier - I'm 5ft 3. Not 5 ft 4 as I think it says in the chart - I'm well over 40 and shrinking....

Well done busywizzy!! Blimey wish i could do that one day with dd!!

I cant believe myself,..dp left for work, dd's in bed and iv been left watching tv...so iv just eaten 2 packs of crips....a lemonade lolly,...a one of dd's darliy dunkers,...I REALLY REGRET it but kinda wana eat more!! OHH NOOOO

Im gona have to make up for it over the weekend, i just had to confess

Goodluck all

sorry smallline & busywizzy, I was just ranting, cos I seem to find it massively difficult to persuade my body to let go of my weight lol. I'm not litterally starving myself, it just feels like it. I am doing a mixture of slimfast & trying to stop bad snacking (sweets & crisps) but I am eating ok, eg made blueberry muffins with boys and had a couple, lots of fruit. Will be having chocolate fondue tonight, 8which will be lots of fruit - will try not to dunk too much. It just feels like I'm starving myself, cos I'm used to eating much more, but I clearly don't need to , hense the weight gain & why I'm here. I lost quite a bit of weight before Christmas, bought loads of new clothes, then ut on loads over Christmas, so because I was so fed up.... I put on even more (idiot) I'm not even back to square one yet & can't even wear any of my new clothes. So no, my clotes don't yet feel loose on me. Luckily it's too hot to wear any of them anyway, so my goal is to fit in them by autumn.

Goo dnews is since been strict with myself this last week my sugar craving and appetite have really reduced, so am finding it easier to stick to it and don't feel quite as starving as I did in my other post. confident of a loss for Tuesday. Hope it going well for rest of you.
how's it going with the trampoline, tortoise?

oh wow, just looked down the thread, well done busywizzy, you must feel really proud, of the both of you. what an achievement.

I've been a bit rubbish this week after the joy of my RFL. I was away on a business trip in Wolverhapmpton for a few days, arrived there 9pm Thursday night, starving hungry so went for a curry with a few others. Got back Friday evening, too tired to cook so had another curry Second time, I did only have boiled rice and chicken tikka so that's not soooooo bad, right ??????????

Yesterday it was Family BBQ at DD's school and I had Hog Roast and today we had BBQ in the back garden - arrrggghh, I'll be back above 10st at this rate and it took me weeks and weeks to loose those few pounds.

Really ought to get out running tonight but it's just sooooo hot.

Ernst, stick with it. Sounds like you're through that 'feeling starving all the time' bit and it does get much easier after that's gone. Good luck.

Food wise this week-im crap!
Done lateral thigh trainer 3 times this week so far.So thats a plus for me.
Im just so low at the moment that i want to eat all the time.As soon as ive eaten 1 thing im looking for more.
Fingers crossed for a lost for you Earnest[smile. Only really use trampoline when the dc are on it.Too embaressed(sp) to bounce after kids are in bed,neighbours will see me!!

Oh Tortoise What's up?

Had problems with xp.(long story)
Feeling lonely at night.
Felt like crying half of today.
Family moved to Turkey in Oct last year so feel like i have no-one.
I will be ok,usually am

Tortoise don't know what to say but I really hope things get better for you. It's horrible when you feel alone isn't it but hopefully, you have friends (in RL or here) who can support you.

If it ever helps, you can always e-mail me.

Ex's - who needs them hey !!!!!!!

Thanks busywizzy.
Not really got rl friends apart from 1 who lives 2 and half hours away!
Wish id never met xp wouldn't be in this mess if wasn't for him.
