Dememted ...
Have sent you an e-mail!!

Fio2 · 05/04/2004 08:29

Demented I have mailed you! I am biting the bullet and joining today. I want to lose a stone at least (but hopefully a stone and a half)

geekgrrl · 05/04/2004 08:31

Demented - just discovered that my scales only do kilos. The weights I sent you I'd converted. Do you want me to keep converting them? Or is it ok in kilos?

If you prefer kilos Geekgrrl we can do kilos, just depends what suits you.

I have 5 e-mails trying to come in to mn.bigmamas and something is blocking them. Nobody's trying to send photos are they? Can't think why but it's the only thing I can think of that may be causing the problem. Anyway DH is out at the moment but when he comes back I will ask him to phone Virgin (it's his email account and he knows all the passwords etc) and ask them to sort it out. If anyone is waiting for a reply, I'm not ignoring you, hopefully have this sorted out by the evening.

Hi can I join too? Went to WW last week for the first time - weigh in tomorrow. Biggest shock was finding out that my scales at home are half a stone lighter than the ones at ww!

Lisa78 · 05/04/2004 20:21

sounds like an evil WW plan to me!

Your home scales must be right vee33 . You are very welcome to join us. Just e-mail me at mn.bigmamas(at)virgin(dot)net with your starting weight, goal weight (if any) then e-mail each Thursday with your loss and it will be posted in the appropriate week's announcement on a Friday night. We celebrate milestones, first half stone etc and aim to give motivational tips/recipes etc (there are two separate threads for tips and recipes).

OP posts:
Lisa78 · 06/04/2004 20:21

Demented · 07/04/2004 13:17

I have been tinker - this morning had no time for breakfast then had busiest day at work ever and didnt have anything at all - so today ive had 1 bottle diet coke, 2xcoffee - think i can blow all days points on tea?

Hulababy · 07/04/2004 19:49

Not doing a weigh in this week - back next week though.

But - I have to tell everyone!!! I bought some new clothes today - trousers and 2 shirts, off out round town tomorrow so wanted something new. I easily got into size 10 trousers and a shirt. And the best bit:

One of the shirts is a size 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Codswallop · 07/04/2004 19:50

that is good

did you tell everyone itn eh changing room?!

Hulababy · 07/04/2004 19:57

No - not that sad - YET!!!!!! Did tell DD quite loudly though. As I say, I have to tell everyone - even a 2 year old

Fantastic Hula, so you mean to say you weren't one of those anoying people who shout so the entire changing room can hear, "No, sorry the size 10's too big, could you bring me that in an 8?"

OP posts:
Hulababy · 07/04/2004 21:27

Well......

Actually I tried on the 10 and it was just too big. So when I went to pay, I had to ask the assistant to find me a size 8 - crowded til!!! - as 10 was too large. Tried it on at home and it fits really nicely. Will be wearing tomorrow with my new black trousers - size 10 which fit easily - on my night out.

Haven't had many weigh-in emails, come on everyone!

You have until 6pm tonight to be included in the announcement.

Hi,
I tried emailing but couldn't??
I'm 11 stone 10 btw

Feel apprehensive about my ability to stick to WW over the Easter Break. I do much better when life is "normal" with regular routines. Somehow it's easier to be disciplined, and to resist temptation with a more structured week. Anyone else?

And then there's the issue of the blasted chocolate eggs. So far, they're tucked away in a little used cabinet so it's a case of out of sight, out of mind.....but come Sunday morning when they're in sight, I know I'll likely be sneaking a few, which will then probably turn into "I've blown it now, so might as well really go for it". I can deny my raging sweet tooth when there's nothing tempting in the house, but I dread Sunday...........
