Hi
I can't keep on putting down my extra stone to baby flab as youngest dd now 2!
Managed to lose weight without too much hassle after 1st 2 dd's but for some yukky reason I just can't seem to shift that last stone after dd3!
Desperately need to lose a stone by 14th June as am going to big posh 60th - I already have the outfit to wear but it's way too tight at the mo.

Is there any-one else out there who would like to chat for support when it gets tough? I'm not really going to follow any specific diet but any tips gratefully received. My main problem is white wine - it just slips down so easily & one glass is never enough! I then get the mega munchies!

Dalrymps - your "puddings" on Sunday night sounded lush.....

How is everyone else doing??

I'm back on track - have had a really good week so far (OK, had a couple of choccy biscuits when friends round yesterday but doing WW so just counted the points). Someone who doesn't know I'm trying to lose weight commented that I was looking slim yesterday so that gave me a big boost.

Think I'm going to change my weigh-in day to later in the week. So far, have weiged on a Mon morning but as I tend to allow myself a bit of slack over the weekend, I always weigh heavier then compared to rest of week (not good psychologically!)

OMG it's only a week and a half until the 14th! Don't think I'm gonna fit that outfit! Why is it so hard to lose weight & keep it off?

Dalrymps · 04/06/2008 10:16

SpinningEm, don't loose faith, every little bit helps, just keep at it, even if you don't loose it by then you can still loose the amount you want, just might take a little longer. How much you got left to loose?
Oh, and it's so hard to lose it and keep it off because bad food tastes amazing!!!

SpinningEm - did you do the Carol Vorderman Detox?

I have just eaten six choc digestives...it is hard isn't it.

Am thinking of doing a last ditch three day detox(ish) next week as am away on hols on thu (which was my date for losing a stone).

My birthday today so not been following the diet. Had so much food and now cannot move, I feel sick , back to it tomorrow!

Happy Birthday for Friday Dalrymps! Hope you had a good day.

I had kids birthday party yesterday so did have a sausage roll and some cake and chocolate. Have another party today so am going to try and stay away from high fat stuff.

Am going to eat bulk of food in the day andt eat lightly in evenings as this seems to work.

Just about to do a work out now [weary emoticon].

Good luck over next few days everyone!

Hi every-one - good for you guys for keeping going! Well the detox didn't happen (no surprises there!!) - am no going to resort to the nightmare of slimfast for the next 5 days (cringe cringe).
Hope you all have a good week!

Good luck SpinningEm! Let us know how it goes.

Hi all. SW weigh in this morning. Have lost 1 and half pounds.

Not as much as wanted to lose but not despondent as have been doing a different type of workout involving building lots of lean muscle instead of always looking at weight loss. I think what is happening is that muscle is heavier than fat so although I am toning and feel smaller it doesn't show up so much on scales. (That's my excuse anyway!)

I do feel slimmer and friends have noticed. I also went clothes shopping the other day and have gone down a dress size.

The workouts really do give you more energy and I have a real spring in my step!

Well, i'm at a total of 6lb weight loss at the mo, still plodding on, feel like I'm doing well this week, can't wait for treat day on sun!
