hi Pink

This thread has gone very quiet lately hasn't it?!!

Anyway, had my weigh in today and as i expected, i put on 2lbs. My consolation is that looking at my records, every 3-4 weeks i put on 2lb so i'm not beating myself up about it. Plus i had a week of going over my points limit so i'm not surprised at all really.

Here's an updated list.

Ags -5 lbs -67 lbs
BananaKnickers -4.5lbs -4.5lbs
Chewing20times -5lbs -21lbs
Kelas -5lbs -31.5lbs
Jaz236 -12.lbs!!!!!
Sandramaryb - 7lbs - 14lbs
Michie40 -? -7lbs
Sussies -2lbs -2lbs
RGPargy +2lb -16.5lbs
Chocolatespiders - 2.0lbs- 5.0lbs
Ria 00 00
SummatAndNowt -3lbs -3lbs
ChipButty -1.4lbs -9.2lbs
PinkChick -3lbs - 22lbs
Aero - 2lbs - 15lbs

Morning Everyone

im not supposed to get weighed today as my nurse tells me off as her scales are diff from mine(i weigh less on hers..lovely scales)..BUuutttt.....i have been a bit naughty and been weighed..mainly cos im been nibbling on birthday cakes all this weekend..and as we have weekend away coming up wnted to make sure i was still on track..so according to my scales, i have lost another 2lb..am accepting these losses now with gratitude i know my first few weeks were a rarity, so 2-3lb a week im over the moon with and will get me were i want to be soon enough.
its took years to get this big and ive lost a lot very quickly, so am now happy with what ive done and not being unrealistic anymore..so heres latest list.

Hope everyone else is doing ok, will prob be harder soon with children being off school, so will need to stick to my guns

Here Miss! I'm here!

Sorry, have had people staying so did not make my weigh in last week (good thing, I think!). Went today and have lost 3.5 lbs! Yeah!! Very happy as it means I have finally broken the 5 stone barrier! Still loads to go but boy am I getting there!

Had a fabulous time shopping at the weekend with my cousin and went to a party that night in my new size 20 (was 28) sexy dress from Principles, fab, size 20 (was 26) jeans from Next and amazing, size 38 F (was 46E) bra from Marks! And best of all, it was all half price on the sale! I really felt fantastic and had the most amazing comments from everyone. I am sorry to drone on and hope I don't sound too cocky but I have never been able to buy clothes like these and it is such a great feeling!

Ags -3.5 lbs -71 lbs

Sorry, forgot to add the most important thing, Well done Pink! You are doing great. Still so motivated and being so good, this far down the line! You are doing it my girl!

RG, never mind this week. As you said, it was a bad week and this one will get you back on track! Anyway, it does sound a bit hormone related if it happens so regularily! Lets say that eh?

jaz236 · 22/07/2008 17:08

Hiya everyone

Ags - well done!!! Sounds like you had a fantastic time and you thoroughly deserved it too. Yay!!

Well done Pink on your loss - you are doing brilliantly!

Here's to everyone (including me) continuing to lose bags of weight next week!

Aero · 24/07/2008 14:45

Hi everyone. Too to post last week as I'd put on 1/2 lb! Not bad I realize as I reckon I'd probably put on a bit whilst we had my folks visiting and lost most of it after they left, but was back on track properly this week and was staggered when I stood on the scales this morning and had lost 3lbs!! That takes me to 20.5lbs altogether and I got my 10% award today, so feeling good!! Not a bad start to the summer holidays.

Feel the need to update the list now!

HI everyone, we're abck, wish we wern't though it was fantastic, really loved it nd weather was beautiful too!

wasnt too naughty, but did enjoy myself..instead of having big fat burger and chips, i opted for vegetarian moussaka with salad and when in italian, went for 2 small slices of cheese and tomato pizza with tomato pasta and salad instead of big meat feasts or pepparoni ones ..i DID have a couple of pieces of some wonderful marshmallow drzzled in cho and cocoa nut tho

Aero · 28/07/2008 15:59

I know how you feel pc - you just get to a point, and despite how well you're doing, you just want to eat a load of anything that's bad for you!

Croissants are delish - I managed to resist them recently when the kids wanted them, but I've caved in to more than a few cravings this week so far. I have until Thursday to redeem myself, but it's dd's birthday today and there's a gorgeous cake to be consumed..........

I will try to be good though as I want to let my hair down a bit on holiday in a few weeks time!

PinkChick · 28/07/2008 16:07

thats the prob we have had 8 birthdays in the past 2 weeks!, which meant 6 parties one wekend away and lots of birthday cake!..have done ok this afty went and bought pasta in tom and basil with peppers fresh pasta, that should be ok shouldnt it???

OP posts:
Aero · 28/07/2008 16:34

Sounds lovely and strangely, we're having the same thing tonight to try and buy back the extra cals eaten over the last few days!

RGPargy · 28/07/2008 17:15

Pink - i'm like that too. I seem to have slipped up a bit too when i got to 1.5 stones so i'm determined to get back with the programme!!

PinkChick · 28/07/2008 19:42

Hi girls..hope you had nice tea Aero?..have you had good day RG?

well am annoyed with myself, thoroughly dissapointed actually..today had that pasta dish for lunch, couldnt even eat half of it ..fab..but tonight when done dp's dinner (pie chips and gravy) i suddenly had urge for gravy and chips, so bunged some in oven and had them (not many, but still with a butterd bread rolll..am gutted with myself..i just really want to and need to get back into this..nothing from this weekend has shown, but nor has all the walking we did, so am sad about that too, i didnt eat any icecreams/donuts/fish n chips etc etc, just healthier option meals with a couple of pieces of that marshmallow thing.

Going to nurse in morn, get weighed and will eat properly form tomorrow again, prob is ive had choc again now and its going to be hard to knock it off again..oh sh*t
