Well done, Emmamama. 5lb is a great start.

I've been relatively good. I did give in to temptation with a small amount of C-stuff but worked it off with extra housework and lugging toyboxes up and down the stairs. Everytime I take something upstairs one of the ds'es brings it back down again. Oh well. It's good exercise I suppose.

Emmamama - 5lbs!!!! How fabulous - well done you! Another shiny halo - do we have enough to go around??

And ct - you can have your halo back for running up and down stairs all day - earned through pure hard work!

I did come over all funny when i opened up a bag of c buttons for ds2. The smell caught me unawares and I got a flashback of my former life!

I'll be better prepared next time.

took dd to meet my friend and her ds before playgroup today, met in cafe and friend had bought the kids a small packet of quavers and a milkybar type cadbury's dream bar...uh oh...temptation hitting me in the face..i had to break it up into bits and give it to dd..never even licked my fingers, but it did kill me and have been thinking about choccy all day now, havent had none tho', cant go this long without then just give up...so stuffed myself with a tea including a jacket potato the size of mexico, bit of chedder, and tin of beans, followed by v.large glass of s.free cordial..argh, the loss of sweet stuff has now decended upon me!!!!

Well done Emmamama, 5lbs is brilliant!

Thanks coppertop you have put my mind at rest. I thought is was a bit mean to stop a thread just because I mentioned the dreaded c word. (and no I dont mean a rude one!) Am going to bed now, hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. I have had another bad evening and have scoffed a big bowl of Ben and Jerrys. Not good and I am mad at myself for undoing my hard work. I WILL try harder tomorrow! Goodnight.

it wasnt chocolate hun, it was a very different one..dont worry, its not a major thingno ones hung drawn and quarterd YOU

think im gonna try the peter kay diet.............
you can lose 14 stone in a day

ok i give up..night.x

im starting to look desperate arnt i

Morning Evesmama - I can understand you being desperate to talk to me lol!! Sorry I was not on again last night - was trying to paint a lighthouse scene (turned into a disaster and now looks like a holocaust scene....) How is it going today?

I have had a banana and yoghurt for breakfast (all weighed and calories calculated like a good girl...). I really hate weighing food and counting cals, so don't know how I am going to get on with this Rosemary Conley diet, but I want to lose the weight so sacrifices must be made! I suppose weighing and measuring everything means there is little room for error. Am off to do my Speedshaper exercises again!

miam, you've got me well confused! Thought you were doing "You are What You Eat"???

I went to my last bungling SW class last night, boring details on SW thread but lost 3.5lbs so fairly pleased. Was told last week I put on 2lbs but according to the book it was 1lb, I am completely confused but ready to go forward on my own (well with the help of MN Mamas of course )!

Morning everyone! I am hoping for a better day today after my two previous rubbish evenings.

Just took 5 mins out while ds has a nap to check on the thread. Am off to tumble tots this afternoon - that is exercise for me. Dont know about ds but I come out of there exhausted after running after him for 45 mins! He enjoys it though! Have a good day!

Demented - keep up, keep up!! Artyalex dragged me kicking and screaming to a Rosemary Conley class last night (I know, after all I said about the horrors of slimming classes - I am soooo fickle). We thought we could help each other and they do an exercise class too which will be good. I have done better than I could ever have hoped possible dieting on my own, but for this last stone and a bit, I think I am going to need a lot of encouragement and motivation, so perhaps she and I can help each other. Along with mumsnet mamas I WILL SUCCEED!!!! How did it go on Saturday? Imogen was ill so couldnt make it...

yorkie why is your dh being mean to you re loosing weight? hang in there and don't let anyone put you off your stride well done for loosing 3 stone that is fantastic
, my mum does this to me and i think sub cons others find it threatening because you are changing and it makes them feel uneasy - that is my theory

all going well with me back on track and after thursday my life will be relatively stress free for a few days.... long story but roll on friday

Well done Yorkie - absolutely wonderful. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. As for dh - eh????? How could he not be proud of you too?? Don't let his attitude dampen your spirit - you deserve to feel on cloud 9. 3 stone is such an incredible achievement - how many other people manage it?

Just wondered if you had managed to work out my weight loss yet????

Oh and pinksofa is right - perhaps he does feel threatened by the 'new' you and the fact that your confidence is possibly increasing the more you lose (and possibly more interest from other parties???). I have noticed my dh making the odd statement (jokingly..) about me running off to have affairs now that I am looking so much better - have wondered if he is feeling a bit insecure....

didn't necessarily mean that though that is possible but do think that others find change in their nearest and dearest difficult so a major change in shape can alter the landscape iyswim all change is unsettling e.g. moving house

what i have found in the past is that others anxiety re changes in me has made me feel anxious and then what i used to do when anxious was overeat and sabotage myself - i am getting better at not doing that so much now (says she hopefully)

well done yorkie
your dh is doing what a good friend of mines dh did, he felt that becasue she had lost weight and things had changed, he saw in her, the same he saw years ago and realised that someone else might actually find her remotely attractive now, he was a right childish git, but it didnt put her off and she's kept the weight off for a couple of years now and looks fantastic..so you carry on honey, he'll soon realise that 'he's' got a new woman and if he's very very nice to you, you may well show your appreciatiom

Well done Yorkie - 3 stone is awesome! Agree with the others about your dh - do you think he is feeling threatened and slightly insecure by your success then?

miam, all the best with RC! I'll be thinking about you getting all happy clappy on a Monday night! Missed you on Saturday, I think I saw your DD2 (I get them muddled up). Perhaps staying away was the best idea, I got caught by the homemade carrot cake and couldn't get away, yummmm!

YG well done on the three stone that's amazing! Sorry about your DH, think the others are probably right that it is making him feel a bit insecure just now.

Well done yorkie girl! how long has it taken you to lose the weight? If you don't mind me asking?! It is quite inspiring to actually "know" someone who has achieved a big loss, rather than just be told it can be done, IYSWIM!!
