Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!

Called the twilight zone for a reason.
I think you should treat yourself to one

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 22:46

I know!! She's a pet though!

Your dress sounds beautiful.

I weigh in on a Wednesday night too.

What day is the new thread best started? A Monday?

How much have you lost AL? And how much do you still want to lose?

I was at ww before sw & lost 1 stone there but got totally pissed off with counting everything so when a friend told me how sw worked I joined! In October 06. I have now lost 17.5lb.

I did the 6 week sponsored slim for NSPCC & lost 5.5lb in 6 weeks, which was Ok I suppose. It didn't help that I gained 2.5lb & then lost 3lb in 2 weeks, making it 0.5lb over 2 weeks

Damn eating!!

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:46

Must put kettle on

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 22:48

They do them here

Though Grannys wasn't as fancy as that! Hers is hard plastic with jaggy edges!

She probably got it as a free gift with verucca cream!

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 22:49

The 17.5lb is in addition to the stone I lost at ww.

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:50

Poss do it on a Thurs night or Fri AM and put whatever our weight loss was for that week, so we would put the day befores weight loss.

Big clap for you doing the NSPCC - so close to my heart. Hope they do it next yr?

I have lost 38lb so far and want to lose another 63lb - 4 and a half stone. Possibly stop at 3.5 stone and my body has changed.

How about you?

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:52

eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww verruca cream ha ha

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:52

Wow 27.5lb - half a pound more and you have your own little two stone award

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 22:55

Nah, only the 17.5 at sw though... so no 2 stone award for a while!!!!

I'm 10st5.5lb at min, but ideally need to be about 8st.7lb, so just under 2 stone to lose...... I know it can be done, it's just a matter of being strict with myself!!

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:57

Your weight now - I can only dream. I used to be 10 stone .................. when I was 20 (7yrs ago)!!!

Not no more.......................

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 22:58

Thats why I said it will be your own personal award. x

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 23:11

You're only 27! You'll be a supermodel by your 30th birthday party!! You will be at goal before that though!!

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 23:15

Write it again. Says on your profile you are 28, not much difference to me

Your comments about supermodel and getting there by the time I am 30, that has really inspired me. Thank you. I may take a long route but you are right, I will get there.

I am 5 6" so at your weight I would be v. happy esp as I am top heavy ha ha

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 23:23

Love Shine, first song dd jiggled her bum to. x

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 23:29

I am 4ft 11" So Can you Imagine how I looked 2 stone heavier than I am now????

Why didn't anyone tell me? Ds is 2.4 now so I have had enough time to lose it, but instead I gained it.

LAst week after a few glasses of wine I asked MIL why no-one ever said anything when I got so big, she said one time she was going to, as she saw how unhappy I was, but she knew it would hurt me & I would do it when I was ready. She even joined sw with me too!

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 23:34

Bless her - its hard for someone to tell you that you are overweight. But her ACTIONS are so much louder than her words. I think that says it all.

Think the others are gone to bed, I best head off in 5 mins.

Got to be bright eyed tomorrow, need to pack for the wedding.

fireflyfairy2 · 19/04/2007 23:37

Oh lovely! A wedding! Is it family? what are you wearing?

Yep I need to go to bed soon too, ds & dd are early risers

AlphaLolly · 19/04/2007 23:47

BethAndHerBrood · 20/04/2007 09:53

I missed all the chat last night, didn't I?! I'm pathetic and need to go to bed quite early! Although DH went to bed at same time as well, which is unusual. Then we had a bit of body magic So not that early by the time we were sleeping!!!! TMI?????

Then I slept in this morning. 8.10 when I woke up. We leave the house at 8.20 normally!!! Argh!!!!
