I'm still the same - better than going up as I was expecting. Weaning ds2 going very well for him - but keep making him very yummy things that he doesn't eat so I do - can't give all that expensive wholesome food to the dog! Have also been going out lots to eat (going out again tomorrow night) - sat next to a friend last time and she left about half her meal because she was full. I was too but managed to bravely keep going until it was all gone and I felt sick. How do you leave food on a plate?????

VVVQ - Congrats ont he unexpectedly good loss.

Ags - a lovely meal and squits for mothers day what more could a loser want!

My dh bought me some frozen ww double choc puddings (3 points each) - the best chocolate hit ever!

Drink lots of water during the meal is my only tip.

Make portion sizes to suit. If you are eating out, well, try to set a limit - say make sure you leave 1/4 of the chips or something.

Another lb - not bad given that I haven't been great.

VVV and Fio, well done!

Loler yes indeed a wonderful day all round! Great that you ss even though you expected to go up!

I lost 1.5lbs. I am a bit disappointed as I was extremely good all week and then had that dodgy tum yesterday. Thank God for it cos I might have put on if that hadn't happened! Have AF at the moment so think that might be affecting it. Don't want to sound like a whinger but I have got such a long road ahead of me that 1.5lbs at this stage seems a tiny dent in the final goal. However, being pragmatic, a loss is a loss and I am still on track and optimistic for the coming week.

Eddas, poor you. It's bad enough having to post your gain once but twice is just rubbing it in!

Well done everyone and keep up the good work.

Hi everyone. Am posting gibberish as I really feel that I need to keep motivated at the moment.

I found a spreadsheet I kept of my last big pre-children weight loss and I am managing to keep ahead of what I did then which is very pleasing as I thought I did very well that time. I updated it last night with my current results so that I can keep a comparison. It looks so pretty! I colour coded it and everyfing! Yes, very sad indeed!

VVV, it is lovely when people comment about how slim you are looking and I totally agree that it comes in bursts. At the moment I don't feel very much slimmer but I think that is because of AF. I did have to buy a new belt on Saturday though as my last one was on the way out and unless I have a belt about 95% of my trousers would be unwearable. Dreadfully embarrassing to have your trousers fall down while doing the school run!

Caykon, good luck with the move. Are you very organised? Hope it all goes smoothly.

Ags - you are doing really well -25lbs really isn't a little dent in only 2 months. thats (can't do maths) loads in a year. slowly off stays off and all that!

really sunny here so been for a long walk to get some extra points for tonight.

Off to roast a squash.

Quickly popping in to say I managed a loss of 0.5lb! Not much I know, but I really didnt deserve a loss at all as have had a bad week. Really must try to be stricter this week. Ags you are doing fantastically well! 25lbs is brilliant and very close to 2 stones, dont feel bad about things, you are doing amazingly well

Thanks a lot loler and mammyjo. It is really nice of you to be so encouraging. I am really pleased about the loss so far. Thanks so much. And well done Mammyjo. Especially nice when you feel it might have gone either way! Enjoy your squash Mammyjo!

By the way, time to fess up here. I have still got 7 stone 11 lbs left to go. So it might not be a tiny dent but it is a medium sized one!

Oh may god Ags, you have lost 25lbs in just 2 months. I don't think you realise how much that is. Its 50 packs of butter!!! If you put that in front of you, you would be so proud of yourself. Good on you and hope the next 2 months is as good as the last.

Thanks Short and Sweet. That is so nice of you to say.

Fio, bet you didn't shave your legs/blow your nose/clean out your ears/wee or poo either! Theres another half pound in there somewhere! Brilliant to be so close though and next week you will be into your second stone!

I zipped up Dorothy Perkins size 14 jeans today.

I know they are generous, and I had a foul muffin top, but it was a fab psychological boost!!

Warmest congratulations to everyone who is loosing and hello to everyone who is here as we're all trying to loose some unwanted pounds. Good luck to everyone. looses, please don't do what i did - don't start gaining. Let's all try to stay slimmer.

Ags, you are doing so well. 7 stone does seem like a mountain at the moment, but, from where you started, seems to me like you've done 20% of the journey already, yes?

That's amazing progress. I've yet to get to my 10% goal. (although only 1.4lb to go ). The fact that your trousers are falling off is a sure sign that you are losing plenty.

Dont be so hard on yourself

LOL Fio , express just before you weigh in next time

Well done Fio, Ags, SC, caykon, mammyjo well done ladies!!! I had a size 14 top on the other day. It wasnt loose on me or anything, but, it was nice to think I can wear some size 14 stuff, and now size 16 trousers It would be nice if my bottom matched my top though!

Eddas - dont worry. Tomorrow is another day.

se i am still wearing size 18 and 20 tops, my tits haven't shrunk at all.

Oh mine have been steadily shrinking since this time last year when DS started b/feeding less and less.....

Ho hum. If DH earns his millions, he can buy me some more

VVV, thanks for that. I actually never thought of it as 20%. I am thinking toward my 10% goal but to see it as a fifth of the way there is very encouraging. Ta very much.

Colditz, forget the muffin top, you got into a 14!!!! Brilliant.

Oooo, colditz and VVV, mega whooping at you two for getting into size 14's. What a boost for you both (and for us ladies too). So good to know that people further along the track are starting to reach goals like this. Thanks for helping keep me (and my size 18 bod) well motivated. Ags I think you are doing great too. Look at the company you are in and the weight we have been losing - you have lost more weight already than all but one of us. You are an inspiration.

I lost another 3kg/6.5 lb so am really on an up at the moment, although I have started sniffing my children's food in a manner one might consider to be verging on the immoral. And my DH has been ROFL because I cheated on Sunday by wolfing down a few tablespoons of cabbage - he cannot believe I broke the CD for cabbage, when there were perfectly good chocolate profiteroles on the table at the time .

This week is the big test for me because whenever I have dieted before I seem to have 'stuck' on 85kg and not been able to get under it, no matter what. I am really hoping I can break through it this time but I approach the week with dread... I am 87Kg toady so we shall see what happens..
