Mumsnet Slim Mamas Week 12

[Demented]

CALLING ALL MEMBERS, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:-

I have taken over the weigh-in from Beccaroll. I think Becca has done a fantastic job so far and I just hope I can fill her shoes!

Unfortunately I do not have weight loss details for the last two weeks. What I am proposing is that members e-mail me their last week's weight (Thursday 18th March), cut-off for this Wednesday lunchtime, and I will do an annoucement of the last two weeks' (Thursday 11th & 18th combined) and thereafter mail your weight as normal on the Thursday and hopefully we should get back on track.

The new e-mail address for weigh-ins is mn.bigmamas(at)virgin(dot)net, obviously taking the brackets out, using the @ sign etc. Apologies for the word 'big' in the address, entirely my fault, I hope nobody takes offence, I sent DH off with his instructions to make a new e-mail address and it was only after he had finished that I realised.

Hope this makes some sense. Hope we can all keep going we are doing fantastically well so far!

I would like to welcome members old and new!

WOBBLYKNICKS & EARLYBIRD and anyone else who wants to join us, welcome, mail me at the address below with your starting weight, target weight (if you want) and I'll get you on the list!

Well done for taking this on Demented, and a big THANK YOU to Beccarroll for all the work and a great job done.

I never thought I had the self-discipline to be able to diet and the motivation and encouragement from these threads has helped me lose 13lb so far, and I am really pleased with myself for getting this far. I still some way to go for me you but I now know I can lose weight if I try.

Thanks to you both

just sent my weight to you

Hello Demented - Thanks for the welcome. Have just emailed details to you. Thanks for taking this on.

Just wanted to join applepie in thanking BR for doing this so long for us as it has certainly made a huge difference to my motivation for weightloss.

Had one or two mails so far, hopefully some more will come in over the next day, I'm going to be out all day tomorrow so if you want to be included in tomorrow night's announcement can you please e-mail me before 6PM TOMORROW/WEDNESDAY (I know I said lunchtime before but just ignore that).

I am proposing to make the main weight-loss announcement on a Friday evening (Thursday is a v busy day for me and I could not commit to a Thursday announcement), hopefully before. Can I ask that you mail me on Thursday as before, unless you weigh on a Friday obviously, but if possible I would prefer if the majority of the mails were in on the Thursday.

Come on everyone e-mail me, test my spreadsheet skills (which BTW are rubbish, DH is having to coach me through )!!!

My message should say about the Friday announcement 'by 9pm, hopefully before', that makes a bit more sense.

I have e-mailed you!

applepie, have I missed your mail? Don't seem to have updated you yet.

sorry, been too busy working today (for a change) - sending over now

Thankyou demented for taking this over - Im emailing my weight now....

Sorry guys for giving up but I just dont have time to do it the way i want to do it and Im sure demented will give us all a motivational boost

Becca

I'd like to join in this too,please.
I'm hoping posting my weight here will make up for not going to classes.

Hello, hoping to make the announcement at around 9pm tonight, I am having a few teething troubles!

Miranda2, if you are on-line I have sent you a mail, if I receive a reply before 9pm you will be included in the announcement, if not I will announce you separately I just have a query, nothing sinister, honest!

Understand completely Becca - I am quite sure starting a new job, and 2 little ones starting nursery must be more than enough to deal with just now.

REMINDER:- Weigh-in e-mails due tomorrow, Week 12 announcement on Friday night.

I have started a new thread for the combined Weeks 10/11 announcement, thought it would avoid confusion, hopefully hasn't caused any.

Feel free to mail me at mn.bigmamas(at)virgin(dot)net with you weight any time until about 6pm tomorrow night if you want to be included in tomorrow's weigh in.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME, OLD AND NEW!

HERE ARE THE WEEK 12 RESULTS!!!

Hulababy -1 13.5
Demented 2 18
Miranda2 0 10
Allegra 3 3

Total 4 44.5

Well done everyone, those of us who participated this week have lost over three stone between us! I'm sure I've lost a few people, perhaps confused everyone by having two announcements this week, hope to have more people next week.

CONGRATULATIONS to Allegra with her first loss of 3lbs this week! Well done!

I would like to also welcome Wintye on board, all the best for the week ahead!

Miranda2, I haven't heard from you otherwise so have put your total loss as 10lbs as this is what I have on the spreadsheet, if it is different just let me know and I will be happy to change it.

HI there, sorry, I forgot to email you.
No change for me this week.

A late addition to Week 12's result:-

Beccarollover 3 3

Well done BR!
