Good god, youre brave

HeavyBee · 09/01/2007 10:37

Oh dear, am I first? OK, then, neither up nor down, 9st 4lb again. Could be worse, but I'm determined to get below 9 st by March - and stay there, I mean.

HeavyBee · 09/01/2007 10:43

About bike seats - I carried both dds on the bike (one on a seat on the back and one on a little seat on the sloping crossbar) for years. I stopped when they were 4 and 6, finally accepting that all of us together were too heavy for safety. It kept me reasonably fit, but I had calves like upturned milkbottles, and in retrospect I should probably have stopped earlier. It was just so convenient!

LieselVonTrapp · 09/01/2007 11:20

Ah well if I was 9stone 4lb I would aslo tell everyone

Smalline · 09/01/2007 11:41

11st 12 for me this week. Breakfast idea! dry fry some chopped lean bacon, add couple of beaten eggs and scramble, lovely with toast. Good luck everyone for the coming week.

Well done Smalline, and your breakfast sounded delicious. LieselvT - it's only posting here every week which keeps my weight down. It's amazing how much less cake I can manage to eat if I think I have to own up on Tuesday mornings! I'm short, and my 10 stone looked pretty flabby, especially given that I was 8 st for about 20 years. I don't want to get down that far, but it's nice to get back into clothes I loved.

Liv321 · 09/01/2007 20:33

Howdee Ladies
I am a very consistent person... and despite eating fun-sized nuffin on air I weigh: 12-7.
So post yo-yo smugness and now settling into plateau.

RIGHT! I WILL lose 2 lbs this week. That's it!! Hopefully it is a small enough target to be actually do-able!!

Wish me luck, sisters

DimpledThighs · 09/01/2007 20:50

hello

I started at 12.0, went down to 11.10 but am now at 11.12 - so hard to diet in this weather - I just want to drink hot chocolate all evening. Evenings are the worst for me, can be good all day and undo it in a n evening!

heavybee as I remember you don't have much to lose and the last bit is always the hardest.

smalline same weight! Nice breakfast idea but I seem to be running round with lunch boxes and loking for library books to be so organised. I usually just grab a coffee but I bought some of that Dorset muesli (reduced in tesco) and I am going to make an effort to have it in the morning.

Liv don't worry, I hope next week goes better. I hope to lose 2lbs too.

Good luck everyone.

tortoise · 09/01/2007 21:21

Stayed the same this week (nearly!) put 3/4 of a pound on! Ooops!

Going to try harder this week! (Ate 3 blue ribband bars just now though.99caloried.)
Have made an agreement with a friend to come to my house after we drop my DD1 and her DS off at pre-school on thursday and we will attempt my Davina DVD before picking them up again at 12! Only my DD2 will be here and she should be ok to watch or play in her room for a bit! Fingers crossed we keep to it.I'd like to do it even if friend can't.

Eating a huge banana now!

Good luck for next week ladies,

shouldbedoingthehousework · 09/01/2007 21:53

hello - haven't managed to buy any scales yet but doubt I've lost any weight . Hope to get my act together for next week

willandsamsmum · 09/01/2007 22:52

I have been rubbish this last week but AF is here and I have been eating everything that isn't nailed down. Have been very good today (just had a snack of homemade, air popped popcorn whilst pretending that it was the chocolate cake that is sitting in the kitchen) though.

Anyway, the huge amount of junk that I have put away in the last 5 days has gone straight to my arse and I'm now 13st 6lbs so have gained 2lbs.

Tortoise - good luck with the Davina DVD. Let us know if it's any good.

pesme · 10/01/2007 08:07

lol lvt. 10 2 this week which is a miracle cos i was at my brothers 40th last week, it was my first time away without dd since she was born. i had a great time! right, now i will gird my loins and get back to the diet. good luck everyone else!

DimpledThighs · 10/01/2007 09:35

tortoise how can you put on 3/4 pound? Is that three or four pounds or three quarters of a pound? If the latter then that's some might accurate scales lady!

Good luck with Davina - i did it for a while and it is really good as it changes a lot so you don't get bored!

willandsamsmum I have a few exercise dvds and davina is the one I rate the highest - depends what you like but I find her really good. Bit cheesy but that doesn't bother me. Well done for holding off on the chocolate cake - doubt I would have.

shouldbe you don't have to get scales, you could always weigh once a week at boots or a friends house or just do it by how your clothes feel.

tortoise · 10/01/2007 10:06

DT Its 3 quarters. I weigh 12st10 and 3/4! They are WW digital ones.

I do like the DVD but i just don't ever get round to doing it. Its too late in the evenings once DC are in bed and no way i could do it in the morning!

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 13:00

Still new and confused.....do I post weightloss on here? Why am I so dense FFS?

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 14:34

Do I....? Anyone...?

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 14:35

Do I....? Anyone...?

tortoise · 10/01/2007 14:36

Hi fizz buzz.
We normally put our weight on here weekly. Or just amount lost/gained if you prefer.

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 14:37

Thanks v much tortoise.

DimpledThighs · 10/01/2007 14:39

fizzbuzz - I am new too - just tyyping my weight in the lardy ladies thread when I see it - I think it is usually about tues we post and then heavybee sends us a chart on around friday.

Don't worry - you aren't thick, just need to get used to it!

Good luck!

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 14:41

So should I have put weight on yesterday? Today will have to do....12st 3. Lost 4lbs How? Had terrible blow out on Friday!

tortoise · 10/01/2007 14:45

Well done fizz buzz.
I'm ! lol!

tortoise · 10/01/2007 20:13

I'm having a bad food day.
Think ive been almost non-stop picking today. I'm going to look like a beached whale by the summer at this rate!

Whatever happens i will do the Davina DVD tomorrow.

fizzbuzz · 10/01/2007 21:02

Thank you Tortoise, however am completely stunned and mystified as to how it happened.

Try not to think about picking today, and get ready for tomorrow (easier said then done I know). I tend to have bad weeks rather than days...

jambuttie · 10/01/2007 21:35

11 13 for me this week. Good luck for this week ladies
