well i am still 5lbs down on when we started, but that was my weight after being a bit ott with the desserts.

Now it may, and I have 4 weeks to go untill I go abroad.

I MUST try harder.

Or I'll be having hoist the main sail on the beach as a cover up.

Can I get from 11.7 to 11 in 4 weeks.

Piratecat i didn't mean you weren't achieving anything - sorry if you read my previous post as that

anyway I can see you are looking slimmer in your latest video

I have a big do on the 21 June, that's four and a bit weeks. When are you off on holiday? Could we have a four week big effort to lose that half stone? It can be done in that time.

I have put on 4lbs since last week. I blame weekend away in Belgium and far too many chips. Back on the low-carb bandwagon for me! Am losing heart a bit I think...

piratecat · 19/05/2008 18:08

hey keep calm, i didn't think any thing at all!!

ok yuo're on about big push

on the pirate theme, then hopefully I can be launched into the sea without too much pomp and circumstance!!!

I am off to spain, as my ex dh is getting married, and my ex' inlaws are going to be here, and its making me very upset, so i need to go.

piratecat · 19/05/2008 18:10

lmao just saw your link!!!!

its fab, and I do think pink suits me!!!

Piratecat - love the fitness video. You are looking very trim on it.

Bella - don't lose heart. Nobody can expect to come back from Belguim the same as they went, not when their national food is chips, mayo and chocolate (not together obviously) And they are famous for their beer too aren't they? Keep going. Now you are home again the 4lb will probably drop off as you will be eating sensibly again.

Onwards and downwards!

Kebabs sound lovely Keepcalm. I may well try them next week. DC might not be keen (fussy little b*ggers) but DH will love them I'm sure. Unfortunately, I had already bought cooked Mexican chicken. I had my salad, not much vingarette and no bread.

I have a family party on the weekend of 14/15th June. I was hoping to lose 7lbs/half stone by the end of May but having lost only 1lb so far I don't think that is likely unless I starve myself so I am aiming for mid June too. I would love to be less than 16st by then, even if it is 15st 13.5lbs!

Aw, Niecie, thanks for words of encouragement! Went on scales this morning and have already dropped down a bit (pound and a half) so am feeling like I might have got away with it this time. I need to be doing more exercise so am going to make it my mission to go for a walk every day - was doing this until fairly recently but have been slacking off!

Mid-June is still one month away isn't it, so reckon we all have a good chance of losing a few pounds by then. My latest "goal" is to get down to 11st by end of August (so need to lose a stone), then take up to a year to drop another stone or two if I can.

Niecie · 21/05/2008 13:31

Well done on the 1.5lbs, Bella. I reckon you could a stone by August. I wish I could be so certain about myself!

Good luck with the walking. Doesn't it take 21 days for something to become a habit? Something like that anyway. Keep going.

My mother has gone and joined WW! She told me after the event. I think she thinks I should go with her but I can't see going there will work any better than coming on here every day. In the end, nobody is sitting on the sofa with me in the evenings whilst I am stuffing my face with all kinds of forbidden fruit. I have to sort my own head out and stop doing it! I hope she reaches her goal as I know she isn't very happy with herself either.

Niecie · 26/05/2008 22:15

Anybody still about?

Are we all having the BH off?

Not the best week ever for me - no change
