I have just weighed myself and the results were hideous. I need to start taking some steps to shift some pounds - the first one being moving away from the Christmas chocolates. Does anybody fancy joining me?
It is 16 weeks until Good Friday so losing a stone and a half is very doable. I am a ww monthly pass member but haven't attended meetings regularly or followed the plan properly since the Summer 
Please come and motivate me.

You are quite right, you need to look after yourself (ourselves)
We are the only ones who will 
Quite understand about the taking time out bit, although I did miss your enthusiasm
I will start another thread...see you there!!

Rufus, like the ex bunnies personally but when you think about it, it cuts out all those who aren't ex bunnies . But if we're about opening up to others, it might be best to drop the ex-bunny part 
.
Glad you liked the card Rufus. Even during my busy, busy days I thought about you, rara skirt and all. I was sad to know that I was not turning up for the role call but I hoped you'd forgive me.
In reality, I see that for each of us, this whole thing is about me taking care of me . (Hope you're following me )
When I started feeling that I might not have enough time to take care of myself, then I decided to do just that - take care of myself- cook the right foods , sleep if I was tired, work if that was going to calm down my stress levels or exercise if it was on my list of priorities. I felt like that was being selfish . Because I have actually been 'trained' to always put my own needs after others', this is why both my absence and return were actually progress for me .
I did not forget you or this thread - it was just a stretch that I had to go through alone. If I think that it is going to happen again in the future, I think I might see it sooner ( this is all new to me you see) .
I hope, in future, I'll be able to say that I'm going to have to take time out for a few days. Anyhow, that's not the case for the next few weeks at least.
All the best to all Easter Bunnies.

Don't know milly, I do wonder why people drop of these types of threads
Is it because they lost their mojo?
Too busy?
Thread too busy so by the time a week or two passed they felt it was too late?
There all the time under a name change?
Bored with the Thread so joined another one?
lily
Thank you for my card 
I think the end of June will be perfect, shall we go for a stone or just try our own targets
How about " any ex bunnies fancy losing another stone?"
Actually let me rethink that sounds a bit Hugh Hefner !!!

Sounds a good idea to fix the target date as end of June ( rather than end of July ). That date feels good to me because it's just before summer and my hols will come shortly after in July.
How does that sound to you ?
What will you call the thread ?
I'm thinking about how much I'd like to lose - it will definately depend on how much chocolate I eat over Easter !

Hey lily
It might be better to start a new one, stop any Easter confusion
So how much more do you want to lose?
My next goal is 10 stone 7. Not very light bug it's pretty much in the middle of my bmi and I hope it's a weight I can maintain!!
I would like to lose 7 pounds before half term (off to France and that bread and cheese will be a killer!) and the other 5 by the end of June
We could always make the threads target date the end of July and either get town personal goals or set a target of a stone

Happy Easter all,
Thinking about you. And I'm sorry not to have been more available to help cheering on and boosting up on the thread recently.
It's been a very busy time for me at work and I've had all on taking care of my own needs.
Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I'm really pleased that I have lost the weight I wanted / needed to and have reached the goal I set by Easter.
I'm down to 64.5 kg and wanted to be at 65kg.
Well done to all who are staying the course - lurkers and non lurkers alike.
And extra big kiss to Rufus !
Happy Easter to us all.

I want to hug you Rufus!
I wasnt able to get back on for a variety of reasons. But was lurking.
Thanks so much for still posting.
You were not alone really even though it looked and felt like it!
hmm. Me not doing so well. Lots of family and others here, coming and going. Throw in a birthday etc as well, and well, you can guess the rest.
Have decided not to weigh for another 11 days to give myself time to stabilise.
Congrats on losing 2lbs. You are doing well. And I am here really. Go Rufus"!

Fine and dandy thanks cups
I would like to lose weight this week but am prepared to maintain! Am not prepared to gain weight may well cry if that happens
I am still eating less but I think I am allowing too much high calorie stuff to creep in. What I might do after Easter is have at least a week of really going back to basics and being really strict
Fully understand that once I am at goal that I will have to try and "fix " my metabolism and start eating decent food!
Hope everyone has a good week, I will be back on Saturday (if not before) hopefully in a good mood!

Lost 1/2lb this week. Or possibly a bit more as DH? chose to realign the scales a couple of days ago, grrr
Feeling slightly deflated, but ok I think. Had felt I had a good week overall.
Everyone else ok?

Maintained this week, after a 3lb loss last week I'm not too distressed
If I can maintain over the Easter holidays I will be pleased...although a loss would be great!
I have between 7 and 12 pounds left to lose
