And anyone else who wants to join in. The idea of this thread is a way to record weightloss, motivate each other, discuss which methods if any we are using to lose weight and give the occasional kick up the bum.

Right you lot. I was going to wait until new year to start this thread but I think that if I'm going to have my head in the right place to start, I need your help now. I haven't weighed yet I'll do that on the 1st but I think I probably have 2 1/2 stone to lose. Last time I had 3st to lose so I'm seeing that as a postitive.

So, are any of you still out there? Who'd like to join me? Xmas Grin

Double post! - Double prescription!

Reastie · 03/02/2014 18:44

Kato what do you do to me, tempting me with all these things I never knew existed!

STS this week. No surprise given I've given in to lots of hunger and only managed one workout. Tbh I'd be happy STS forever, but in an ideal world I'd tone up more/lose another 8 - 10 lbs. Must try harder.

DD had her nursery settle in session today. I went too. It went surprisingly well and it's such a little nursery. Only 7 other LOs there at the minute so lovely and small and nurturing. SO hope she settles down easily there after she starts proper after half term.

IMST hope you feel better soon.

TheOneWithTheHair · 03/02/2014 18:52

Not bad going then reastie. Glad it went well for dd. It's a nerve wracking time.

Reastie, I'm much better this evening, I had a tunnocks tea cake which perked me up, and much tea.
I still have my last birthday chocolate, it's in the cupboard, and one day it will be delicious. Kind of an "in case of emergency" chocolate...

Quite quiet here of late. Hoping you're all doing well and not just hiding!

Well, 2 NSV-ish things today - 2 people told me I'm 'wasting away' at work today. Obviously I'm not! Actually, maybe that's not something to be pleased about! I'm very much a size 12 and high normal BMI but I guess compared to where I was.... I've noticed a few people saying to me at work 'but you're not trying to lose any more are you' and I've started just lying and saying no Blush and some generic comment about wanting to get a bit fitter though. I'm happy where I am but if I lose another few pounds to tone up then fab.

eighty boo, poor you, sounds miserable. Hope you feel better soon.

IMST love the emergency chocolate. It's weird but it makes me feel better just knowing I have some chocolate in the house just incase too!

Where I work we've been asked if we'd like to do a triathlon in teams. I may have submitted my interest in the running element of it . Although I'm not sure I'll be chosen as I have warned them I'm very slow and they may want to take it a bit more seriously than I am about it. But the possibility is there.

Well I'm here but you didn't name me so I don't count!

I have been lurking and dealing with rl stuff. Exercise isn't too bad, lots of walking. Food has been up and down. I've not been snacking or drinking but my meals haven't been great.

I did weigh in on Monday but I keep forgetting to update the spread sheet. I'll do it now. I don't want the thread to die either!

Got to go to school now but I'll read it later.

THanks for the link and no idea why it didn't work.

I'm here eighty! I never went away really you can't escape me I'm afraid . Today not so bad, but would have been better without the extra in the plural chocolate. Managed a 15 min abs video which isn't a 'proper' workout but it's something, and felt hard at the time! Have just replied to your other thread.

Loads of cleaning to be done and dinner isn't going to make itself unfortunately so gotta go.

InMySpareTime · 06/02/2014 16:29

Eighty, links need before the link, a space after the link, then the word you want to appear, then
link name would appear as link name

InMySpareTime · 06/02/2014 16:30

Too many links there, the example one accidentally linked!
wwwblah take out the spaces
