Hi everyone... I'm back!
Congrats on your weight loss guys, I fear I may have undone all previous good work whilst on holiday!
Not a good week for me I'm afraid however we only ate out once and I cooked the rest of the week (some holiday that was!) and my exercise was about 75% more than usual-lots of walking-so may not be as bad as I think... We'll see

I may put off weighing again this week and get back onto the diet with vengeance that way I won't be disappointed with a weight gain as it's almost certain to be

Eddas · 13/10/2007 09:25

well done on joining ww weepotion. I have done it in the past and it does work, i'm jut crap at sticking to things

DTLDTK, glad to see you again. Don't weigh in if you don't want. Doesn't matter. and you're allowed to have time off on your hols so don't worry

i've now got 6 weeks til my birthday so fingers crossed I can lose enough weight for people to notice when i go out. And not fake notice but I'd like it to really show IYKWIM!

i have been terrible since about friday. And I forgot to weigh myself this mornign before breakfast so will do it tomorrow. But I am back on the wagon today and will try to be good. It is working as I can now fit into smaller trousers horrah

How's everyone else doing? Must be better than me

OP posts:
Eddas · 15/10/2007 21:08

Well i've been good today

I did weigh in this morning and scales still say 12st 2 so fingers crossed that's right as it was after breakfast and it's my pill free week I'm thinking maybe i'll get a loss every other week seems to be the pattern ATM.

I really want to lose 2lbs a week(or 4 every 2 weeks) so I really need everyone to come back PLEASE I really am terrible on my own DH says you can see it's going. Tried on my smaller jeans today but they ain't gonna do up til i've lost another half stone or so so I must lose weight.

Eddas, I haven't deserted you honest!
We've had no pc for the last few days as it keps playing up and as a result of having no mn I have failed miserably in getting back on my diet! I'm the same as you.... I need lots of support also.
So, hopefully we have now fixed the problem and I'll be back to reportng in daily with somethig good to say about what I've been eating!!

eandh · 17/10/2007 07:35

Morning I am still here just forget to post as I see Eddas so much

I did weigh myself on sunday and put on a 1lb (was expected as had a bad last half of week and went out for meal saturday night and I ate what I wanted as we hardly ever go out) on the plus side weighed myself this morning and lost the 1lb I put on plus a another pound so thats now half a stone in total will weigh again on monday and have been good, still not snackig and eating crap but evening meals could be better!!

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 17/10/2007 08:29

glad to see there's still a couple of us left then!
I went out for grandads 80th birthday on sunday and ate more in a couple of hours than I usually eat in a day! twas trully disgusting !
Still doing no better but I have chest infection as well atm so instead of eating properly I've been picking at naughty things... I will keep trying though, must lose weight!!

Eddas · 19/10/2007 19:09

well i have been too to come on as i've been terrible You can tell if i've been bad since I don't come on!

I am going to give the diet another crack starting on monday. But it is half term so don't expect miracles!

I really really want to lose weight but I have terrible terriblw will power. I am ok(ish) if there's nothing in the house but I'm so dappy i bought some crisps and chocolate, so obviously ate it I know I should only get things I don't like OR just not buy it

I need a slap as if I don't stop over-eating, because that's what it is, I will end up with heealth issues

SOMEONE GIVE ME A SLAP OR KICK UP THE A@{%

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 21/10/2007 19:57

Eddas I feel exactly the same! I have been really bad for the past 2 weeks (ever since my holiday started really) But I'm so disappointed with the fact that I've now put a couple of pounds back on that I'm determined to start again tomorrow and stick to it this time!! Plus am having all my hair cut off tomorrow so tring to look at it as a new start!
Winter's such a rotten time to try and diet though cos you just fancy all the naughty things
Am sending oodles of will power your way!

Eddas · 21/10/2007 20:18

thanks, have some will power vibes back from me too (disclaimer:if they are related to my will power they may not work)

You're very brave cutting your hair. How long is it? I often think about it but am never brave enough. Would love a fringe too but I have one of those weird hairlines so it parts in the middle (nice!) if i have a fringe. I must have my hair done soon, it's been an age

I am going to weigh in tomorrow and then start afresh with the diet. I think i've had enough choccie for a bit now

OP posts:
Eddas · 22/10/2007 07:58

Right, weighed myself before breakfast(yummy fruit and fibre) and I am still 12st 2 so that's brilliant considering the amount of shit unhelathy stuff i've been eating

So today is the start of my new diet. Not a great week to begin again with it being half term, but hey I have to start again some time.

OP posts:
doublethelovedoublethekisses · 22/10/2007 13:43

Hi, completely forgot to weigh myself todsy! Now I've had lunch it doesn't seem worth it but I'll weigh tomorrow morning instead if that's ok?
Must admit it hasn't been a great start cos I had a couple f biccies with coffee this morning but I have just taken twins on an hour long walk so am hoping that went some way to making up for it!
Had a small slice sandwich and a packet of snack a jacks so a little better...?
Oh and hair is bra strap length and going for something just below my chin (would link a pic but don't know how!!)

Eddas · 26/10/2007 08:05

HELLOOOO i'm still here, i haven't bene great this week but not too bad IYSWIM. Just weighed myself and it looks like I am now 12st Not sure how that happened, but I won't complain

Right I am now inspired to push for 11st something.

Is anybody there >>>

Come on EAH and DTLDTK, please don't leave me > and for the other that have abandond ship, half term has either finished or nearly finished so do you fancy climbing back on the wagon? I have got about 4 weeks now til my birthday and work and I am determined to lose another few pounds which'll maybe let me back into my work clothes I cannot afford to buy new LOL

OP posts:
doublethelovedoublethekisses · 27/10/2007 20:42

Hi, I'm still about but am really struggling atm. I hate the winter cos I just wanna eat all the things I shouldn't! I did weigh myself and I had put on 3 lbs so not too impressed with myself. I'm going to make a concerted effort to start properly again on monday so I think I'll have to start stocking up on will power!!

Oh and by the way if someone could tell me how to get the display back to how it was (you know, most recent post first) then that'd be just great!!

eandh · 27/10/2007 20:44

evening - i have been same not snacking but not eating that great lost a 1lb so thats 8lb in total but now need a big push!!

dd1 has this sickness bug and is unable to keep water/food down so thats keeping me busy and cleaning up after her has put me off food

eandh · 27/10/2007 20:45

go to customize talk board and then change options dtldtk

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 27/10/2007 20:47

Don't worry have just found my brain!

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 29/10/2007 09:18

So, am determined to get myself back on track and lose a stone for christmas (I hope!) so I started the day with a bowl of cereal and a banana and now gonna walk into town for some fresh air and exercise
Not sure what's for lunch but will probably try for soup with no bread of course!

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 06/11/2007 20:41

Hi all just wondering how you are doing with weight loss... better than me I hope!!

Eddas · 07/11/2007 16:50

erm well, erm, not very good

I so want to lose weight but am in the comfort eating zone atm

I have to break the cycle at some point. I do worry because I am very unhealthy and know that I am the only one who can change the situation.

Why can't I afford a personal chef. I hater having to think about what everyone will eat everyday. Such a bore. Think it makes me eat worse too. I know dh would eat better if I was in charge of the food just don't know how to get out of the habit. Have tried and failed very often.

OP posts:
doublethelovedoublethekisses · 07/11/2007 17:53

I'm much the same Eddas, I was fine until I went on holiday and it's all gone down hill from there. I was so determined to start again on monday but that was another failed attempt.
I am going to committ (sp?) to starting again on monday and I will (where possible) report in daily with what I've eaten... You just need to come and check up on me!
Wonder where they all went??

Eddas · 07/11/2007 17:59

i'll check on you and you can badger me into stopping being a greedy arse and get back to it!

I am thinking for daily exercise I could drop dd off at preschool and walk back home. Which is up a large hill and takes 5mins by car so est about 30mins walking. Will be pushing a buggy so would work out everything! THen I could walk back when it's time to get dd and come home in the car. Couldn't face doing it there and back four times in 2.5hours or i'd do it both ways IYSWIM. Apparently walking should get the weight dropping off. Might not do it on the rainy days though

I am going to start again tomorrow as feeling seriously bleugh. And i know it's the bad diet. also feeling really tired and thinking it must be that too(plus the 2 dcs)

OP posts:
doublethelovedoublethekisses · 07/11/2007 18:15

ok, lots of badgering coming up!
OH, and I've been meaning to ask you for ages... Have you only recently made your profile public? Your dc are gorgeous! I'm sure it wasn't when the thread first started

Eddas · 07/11/2007 21:58

ah thanks they are pretty cute and shockingly similar, as in look practically identical at the same ages IYSWIM. Must add the pics to prove it!

I only added a profile a few weeks ago as didn't know how to do it before but was actually simple!

Yes, please do badger me, lots! I have decided to do the walking thing. Not tomorrow but aim to do it on friday, eek! Might collapse on the way home tis a big hill!

OP posts:
Eddas · 07/11/2007 22:11

just added two pics, one of dd, one of ds so you can see what I mean.
