Goog morning all, I have managed to lose a 1lb this week, which I am pleased about since I went out last night and am also building up to TOTM when I always put weight on, will hopefully get back on track next week, but I am working on the theory that the slower it comes off the longer it takes to put back on

Worked out what I was when I started!

Lost nothing this week, but that didn't upset me because I didn't gain, a maintenance week is fine by me... especially as it involved burgers, chips and sweeties!

I always fancied having a personal trainer, so motivating! Never got round to it though when I was going to the gym. We have a home gym now!

Ooh ooh ooh..i say 'Loo' am i posh too??..although i grab which ever seat i can find on plane thats nearest window before dp gets there??..so maybe a bit of a thug as well???

Wonderful news that you have been approved for adoption chick, havent read whole thread yet as am waiting for mindees to arrive any min, but will catch up on it

Well done on losses and maintains girls

fantastic visual aid from dp last night..he skulked off upstairs and came back down with his weights (small dumbells type things) and said to me, pick one of those up with one hand and bring your arm up...?????????????????...farking hell i could bend my arm up at all!!..dp then said that dumbell weighs 1st 9 lb's, 9 lbs LESS than what i have lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i couldnt lift it up(bending my arm)...was gobsmacked!!!..such a fantastic boost from dp to show he'd been thinking about how id done and to help me get out of my negativeity about slowing down..bless him

I think pretty much 99% of the UK must be POSH too then as everyone i know says loo too!!

Well done on the weight everyone. Weigh day on Monday for me and i've had a 2 week break from weigh ins so it'll be interesting to see what the scales say!

Good idea on the visual aid Pink! Hope it helped you put the weight into perspective! I might do it myself with my dumbells too!

SummatAnNowt · 29/08/2008 10:55

Awwww PinkChick, that was lovely

DH is on the weight loss journey with me. He used to weigh loads more than me but now weighs less, and it comes off him quicker. I think he's started to lie about how much he's lost though so I don't get disheartened!

PinkChick · 29/08/2008 12:27

Aw, they can be sweet when they try can tthey ..good luck for Monday RG!..have you been good or took it as a chance to splurge a little (as i would have prob done)

Well dp has been trying to lsoe weight with me too, he's by no means fat, just out of shape (not that i think theres anything wrong with him) and wants to lose a bit around his middle and be fitter!..he was going quite slowley but surely, had lost about half a stone and was sticking..but in last 2 weeks he's lost another 6-7lbs..he was spurred on by me weighing less than him (although i actually didnt it was my bloody bathroom floor and scales taking the pee out of me)..so has now got down to 14st 2 lb (i think it was?)..he wanted to be under 14st for hol, but in all honesty, when we met he was SKINNY too skinny so will be ready to stop him if he goes too far, think we will start going to gym or something together when we get back as i want to tone as i lose cos my body has had over 20 yrs of being fat, so skin will be working hard to not drop south!
and he also reminded me that although it wasnt cming off as fast as it did at frst i have lost 32 lbs, which was what id set my target at to lose for holiday (it worked out at 2 lb a week) and i met it on tuesday..so anything else now is over and above..plus i said i wanted 6-7 off for next time i went to nurse and have lost the 4 lb, so just 2-3 to go before next tues..argh..crap, just realsied nurse clashes with dentist..mus go change app!.xxxx

phew 'just' maanged to get in on wed morn instead, shes fully booked rest of week!, thank goodness for that!

OP posts:
RGPargy · 29/08/2008 12:35

I haven't really splurged, Pink, although i have been tempted!! I think i'm stuck a bit at the moment, probably down to too much booze and bad food at the weekends! I suppose going over my points doesn't really help either lol.

I feel like i really need to crack on with it tho or i'll be stuck at this bloody weight forver and i just dont want that to happen!!!

PinkChick · 29/08/2008 12:40

mm i know what you mean, its almsot TOTM for me and am feeling a sweet tooth..pepsi max usually curbs it so had one of those while out and will do some lunch for myself shortly, dd and midnees had some while out.

Have bought in ltos of nice/good things for weekend, so will refrain from takeaways, going to metro centre tomrorow, but the cookies /sweety shops etc dont bother me anymore now, im not specific..as long as i have something sweet!..so will keep pepsi max in my bag

Pink - just had a look at your kitchen pics. Have to say the new one looks lovely!!!

PinkChick · 29/08/2008 15:55

thanks love..although the floor is coverd in cake mix right now, just having a quick loo break after making birthday cakes for mindees mum..i will not eat any..i will not eat any...

Just made an appointment to see the doctor about getting some Reductil. It's not for a couple of weeks yet, but hopefully they'll be able to help me as much as they seem to have helped you!

PinkChick · 29/08/2008 20:09

..well they certainly gave the hte MUCH needed kick up the arse i needed..my weight is only slowing down more now cos ive been slipping!
Once dd and mindees are back at school i KNOW i will be able to get the control back, because i then do 3 school runs a day and walk all over, whilst theyve been off we dont rush anywere and if we want we can stay close to home, plus been baking far to many cakes!..so will kncok that on head and replace with making our own pizza's for after school, that wont bother me

Hmm, I seem to have put some weight on. But I know that I haven't had enough exercise recently and I'm not too pissed off. I reckon it will get back on track once DS is back at school and my sanity returns. Anyway, there seems to be a general slowdown in weight loss this week (or am I just kidding myself so that I feel better about it). Lets have some general whip-cracking once school starts again.

RGPargy · 30/08/2008 17:08

Never mind bran. Get the whip cracking good and proper!

bran · 30/08/2008 17:11

Owww , the whip cracking starts next week.

RGPargy · 30/08/2008 17:16

Oh damn!! Sorry!

Ags · 01/09/2008 00:12

Hi all. Just a quickie to get my name back on the thread. Had a lovely time in Ireland - gained 5 lbs in a week! I seriously pigged out. But I was fine with the weight gain, just seriously worried that maybe I wouldn't be able to get back on the wagon again. But I have been excellent so far this week (now 5 days) so am hoping that 5lbs will disappear very quickly. Glad to hear you are all still on board with a few extras - welcome to you all.

Bran, great news! I am delighted for you.

PinkChick · 01/09/2008 08:35

morning all, scales are being a little cheeky this morning..but havent had my thorne appointment yet, however i ate desert on sat night after meal out and ate some hershey mini chocs yesterday that friend brought me from her hols..plus its totm and i feel heavy and back killing me..However..i AM back on the wagon today, SIL is coming later and i KNOW she will bring something sweet with her, so am making sure i eat only good stuff from now on so it wont affect me.

On the plus side, i had to be up for work this morn at 6.30 so pulled on a jumper and jeans from inside my wardrobe and thank god mindee didnt turn up cos i looked like id just put on clown clothes, hadnt thought about it but they were in my old size and looked pathetic!..so was a bit and a lot.. cos id only just bought the jeans and they were lovely!, so i ironed my new size 18 jeans (my lovely rocha comfy ones) and they are also now too loose!..but i so love them am going to did out one of dp's belts and see if they look ok?
So when we get back off hols im going to have to buy all new jeans and tops as well..good job my tax bill was less than i though

Hope everyone has a lovely day, it will be easier for me once dd is back at school (as well as mindees) i can then plan and get out and about more as i will HAVE to then to do school runs, if it was raining over hols we'd just stay in!, no excuses now

OK too much alcohol, but no weight gain over the weekend so back to working at it this week. Need to lose another half a stone before the end of the month so I can get into pre preg trousers and don't have to buy any new ones yet.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 01/09/2008 13:32

OH and glad you had a good holiday Ags and congratulations RG
