Meant to say good luck for tomorrow Ags

Mammyjo freixenet is a sparkly cava and very yummy, it's easy to drink too much.

Well done on the losses ladies

oiFoiF · 29/04/2008 11:34

I have lost another 1 1/2 lb so get my stone and a half off. I think i am getting to the point now though where I need to be doing some exercise of some sort to keep it coming off. Has everyone else done this too?

oh and I did my 10%

mammyjo · 29/04/2008 11:53

oiF, I was reading your post thinking "who is this?", then it dawned on me that your name is back to front! Doesn't take a lot to confuse me these days
Well done on the loss and your stone and a half and your 10%
I know what you mean about exercise. I am still losing, but my belly is vile and flabby (as discussed previously!) and I do feel that I should be doing something to at least try and tone it a bit. Not sure whether it is past the point of toning though!

Ags · 29/04/2008 13:03

Fio and Mammyjo, that is fantastic! Well done on the 10% Fio! Mammyjo, isn't it just a teensy bit irritating when you miss a goal like two stone by half a point?! I've done that so often! But at least it keeps you going for next week!

I lost 2 lbs today.

Mammyjo, of course I meant half a pound not half a point! Obsessed with points? Moi?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/04/2008 13:13

Well done everyone.

I'm starting to feel the same Fio. Last few weeks have been hard anyway so keeping to points and trying to lose hasnt been easy.

I'm getting my exercise through digging and weeding my allotment, but it's sporadic and irregular so not ideal.

I'd like to start running again but I feel I need to get myself into the 12 stone region first. My back has been quite bad - I've been referred back to various specialists and had an x-ray recently. I dont want to aggravate it.

oiFoiF · 29/04/2008 13:31

oh ikwim vvvq. My back is shagged aswell. I want to go swimming when dd has her lesson but it would mean walking from the changing room to the pool with all those parents sitting poolside

why is swimming so lovely but so hard to 'do' in the sense you have to be almost naked

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/04/2008 13:33

What about going in the evenings? Leave DH at home whilst you go out for half an hours swim?

In fact, shall we do that tonight?

oiFoiF · 29/04/2008 13:45

I will have to pick up a pool timetable but I dont see why not

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/04/2008 16:14

A deal then. Will report back here when swim over.

Ags · 29/04/2008 23:22

Fio, VVV, Swim over? How'd it go?

I did that thing of sitting wrapped in my towel waiting for ds' lesson to be over before I took dd and him back in for another swim. It was ok. Just wrap yourself in the towel (understandable if you have to sit there for half an hour).

ShortandSweet · 30/04/2008 07:09

Well done Short! Good result!

moodlumthehoodlum · 01/05/2008 17:55

Fio, MammyJo and Short - well done on your your losses - Mammyjo - a stone and a half - thats amazing, it really is.

I haven't been doing very well this week. DH has been away so I have been eating with dcs with the noble intentions of not eating again that night, and failing dismally. And, as I have decided not to go back to SW, I'm a bit lost.

Still tomorrow is another week, and this week I won't have dd's party with all its goodies to deal with, and its the week before I go on holiday so I should have the fear (particularly as we are going with friends, one of whom is super skinny despite two dcs )

OLIVIASMAMA · 01/05/2008 21:57

Can I jump on board? Just joined ww on Monday, 2 1/2 stones to lose to get to pre preggie weight and dd is now 7 months old, I've been a real slacker in the dieting department and only too happy to listen to the wonderous saying "you've just had a baby"!! Anyway the long and short of it is that I'm eating like mad on this GREAT diet and walking miles in a vain attempt to get a good first week in

mammyjo · 02/05/2008 15:38

Welcome oliviasmama

Moodlum, would you consider joining a different group when you get back from holiday? Or maybe some sort of online plan? Just a thought. I know that if I don't have some sort of plan to follow then the weight will creep back on!
And as for your skinny friend who has children, don't you just hate people like that!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 05/05/2008 20:45

Hello ladies.

It's monday again! Dropped 4 pairs of trousers with MIL today to take in for me . I can't afford a whole new wardrobe when I dont know what my final size will be....

I've lost another pound, but, with the rounding over the last few weeks that I've done, my total weightloss is a little more:

I didnt end up going swimming the other day , but, I think I might this week - especially if the weather stays warm. Did some activity today - mucked about on DD's scooter

Just as well, because when I logged my weight, it says my daily points allowance has dropped by 2 points a day only 21 a day now!

yay!

Welcome Oliviasmummy

I hope everyone is doing well.

bananaknickers · 05/05/2008 21:37
