Wow, everyone is doing so well! I have been swimming every morning this week and I honestly feel brilliant. I probably still look a fright in my swimming costume but I am feeling more confidant and have loads more energy. I'm hoping for 3lbs when I weigh in on Monday.

Mojito100 · 10/09/2014 15:06

Good luck lunar.

Wow lunar thats great! Well done.

Mojito100 · 11/09/2014 14:38

I lost my last post so just wanted to say to iscream, twobambinos, Mrsdesperado congrats on your hard work and losses. Lunar you keep motivating me and are going do well. Trikken, I hope the birthday continues for a few more days.

I got back on the treadmill the other day and had a good workout. I needed to burn off some frustration and really enjoyed every minute of it. It certainly helped. Here's hoping for a nigger loss this week coming.

IScreamForIceCream · 11/09/2014 18:59

It's B for bigger, Mojito Wink

twobambinos · 11/09/2014 21:08

Well done on treadmill mojito. Keep up the good work.
Today has been a busy day I do my two classes on a Thursday that's just the way its worked out. Also did 500 spins of the hula hoop and a 4km walk with the pushchair. No wonder I'm so thirsty today. 2.5 l of water. This is not a typical day tho! Otherwise id have no 8lbs left to lose.

Anyone tried the new muller bliss yoghurts? Damn they are fab I got a 4 pack on offer in the shop and 3 of them are gone. Don't know how healthy they are must look into it.

lunar1 · 12/09/2014 12:56

Sounds like you had a good day two bambinos!

I have been swimming again, I have done 250 lengths this week. I have also been in the gym 3 times. I had a go on the rowing machine this morning and I can really feel it.

I also went to buy a jumper, I bought large instead of xl, and it's baggy! I also bought a pair of jeans in a 16, I thought I'd need a few weeks for them to fit but I've got them in and they are perfect.

Thank you to everyone on this thread, you are really motivating me.

twobambinos · 12/09/2014 14:10

Had a natural yoghurt and an apple and 750mls water for brekkie
Then went out for lunch and I am positively going to roll now. Had a chicken roll with creamy creamy creamy dressing and we shared a piece of choc cake but my half was def bigger. It wasn't an overly huge piece but I am disappointed in myself now. Not a great start to the weekend.

lunar1 · 12/09/2014 18:36

I'm having a bad start too,
Just had fish and chips. I'm also starting to hurt from the gym today!

Mojito100 · 12/09/2014 23:49

Oh my god. I'm so sorry it was definitely meant to say "bigger". I haven't been on for a couple of days so only just realised. Please accept my apologies that was completely inappropriate and accidental.

Mojito100 · 12/09/2014 23:52

I have done a bit of comfort eating this week. It's been stressful as my DS has behavioural problems at school and it's been a bad week. It looks like he will be expelled shortly. Going on treadmill now as feel like I need to wallow in self pity and may as well do it with music in my ears and everyone leaving me alone.

rivierliedje · 13/09/2014 08:16

After falling off the wagon completely in August, I started again in September and I'm down about 6.5 pounds.

IScreamForIceCream · 13/09/2014 09:44

Oh Mojito of course it was totally obvious that it was a typo, i am sure that no one could take offence. I did a winky face, I hoped that that would make it clear it was laughing with you not complaining?

Poor DS and poor you. Is he getting the support from professionals that could help him?

Mojito100 · 13/09/2014 11:36

Well done riviera.

Thanks Iscream. I figured you weren't offended but I was mortified.

DS has had so much help but it isn't helping and he is such a serious risk to others. I'm at the point of finding a psychiatrist as I believe it is a mental health issue that needs medication. Unfortunately that's not ideal but I don't know what else to do.

rivierliedje · 13/09/2014 11:57

Thanks *Mojito

Good luck with the psychiatrist, I hope you and your son get the help you need.

twobambinos · 13/09/2014 19:36

Oh mojito big hugs hope it all works out ok xx

lunar1 · 14/09/2014 11:29

I hope you find the help your son needs mojito. I can't imagine how hard what you are going through is right now.

Mojito100 · 15/09/2014 01:21

I weighed in this morning and even with my comfort eating am now down to 77.7kg from78.8 last week. That's the treadmill paying off and the fact I got my period last week when I weighed in. My aim is to stay in the 77's this week and I am motivated to stick with the treadmill. Good luck all on your weigh in this week.

lunar1 · 15/09/2014 01:50

Brilliant Mojito, well done on a great loss this week. I shall be weighing in in the morning.

lunar1 · 15/09/2014 08:27

Well the gym must be working, I'm 15 st 5lbs this morning so I have lost 4lbs last week!!! Best get myself back to the gym and keep it up.
