hi ladies,

only 1/2 off this week,

really about it,

i have tried quite hard to stick to plan,

think it will show next week,

am getting married in sept 09 and after going shopping for wedding dresses for the first time the other day i am now determined to be stick thin (10 stone will do me)

well done jodie i am at your 4lb, i feel you may have some of my lbs there!!!

Snoopdog Well it's all heading in the right direction, and I;m sorry I stole some of your weight loss, it won't happen again!

WW Hope your feeling better, just think of the calories burned having relations!!! I take it the Anne Summers get up worked!!

Just come back from a Spinnning class and OMG it was hard, was the only one there, so instructor sat next to me and work me like a dog!!!!!! Will let you know omorrow how my little legs are!!!

hope they hurt in the morning well done jodie

Sorry to bitterly disappoint you snoop but I feel OK this morning!!! (helps that Sam goes 7-7 now)

Gosh wedding! Where are you getting wed??? less that a year away, you will be waif like in that dress!

JODIE - at Sam sleeping through!! Calvin had me up 3 times last night - wee horror! I actually managed 20 mins on my exercise bike today and some abd work - felt guilty as I missed belldancing last night Yep he liked the Anne Summers stuff but TBH he is just happy to be participating again

SNOOP - It is very disenheartening when that happens but hey you might shift 5lbs next week fingers x. Tell us about your dress and wedding please. We have been married 5.5 years and I designed the dress myself - purple velvet with matching cloak and dyed some ankle boots to match. DH and men all in full kilt and we made a weekend of it at Tulloch Castle in the Highlands - we were really lucky as the weather was fab and we had a great time. Bridesmaids were in forest green.

Hope veryone else is being good

Hi all,

Everyone have good weekends? I find weekends the hardest as DH is always offering Bacon Sarnies and stuff, but we get by!!!!

WW have you weighed in yet today?
Cilc How did you get on for the first week 'going it alone?'
Snoopdog Still motivated?

Is that it now? just the 4 of us?

I meant Ponto of couse

Not doing well going it alone, have had visitors and going to my mum's for the rest of the week, so difficult to stick to plan. Will start again after half term, my current target is to stay the same for the next week.

WW your wedding sounds great!

Jodie we do seem to be quite a select group, but who knows, we may have loads of lurkers! If you are there, declare yourselves!

I am so rubbish Still the same weight - my willpower is pants and I had 3 glasses of wine last night and was pissed again!! I really need to get a grip and start back on track again. Still got 2.5 stone to go.
Bah!! Hope the rest of you are on track and please send me some willpower vibes. I will update the list for November the 1st.

another HALF

i am ok,

i did eat well this week,

well being nice stuff,

i was thinking,

44 weeks till wedding,

half a week is 22lb,

that will do me

1lb and 1/2 this week! Yeah... Getting there slowly but surely, I will have to revise my 2 stone by christmas target , but hey ho....

I did cheat a little and weighed myself ysterday as I knew I was having a chinese last night!

Well done Jodie I weigh myself every day!! I am obsessed - looks like I have finally got below the 14 stone mark - we'll see if it stays off for Monday as that is officialy weigh in day but it made me feel GREAT today

Well done snoop n your weight loss, and WW on you unofficial weight loss!!!

I did a Body pump class on Monday night and I;ve been to the gym tonight (yes I FINALLY joined!) as I usually do Spinning on a Thursday, but am off to see The Wonder Stuff tomorrow night can't wait!

can any of you new mums help me here please?

Can all you guys fill me in on weight loss so far and I'll get the list put up tomorrow?

Yeah Rumpel is back!!! (felt wierd calling you WW like calling a friend Claire after calling her Sarah for years!!!!! )

Right, Starting weight was 12 stone 5lbs am now 11stone 10.5 so thats minus 8.5lbs (wow, have never calculated how much I've actually lost altogether before!)

2lb loss this week - it was 3.5 lbs during the week but AF imminenet and I am such a crabby/ill temepred cow at the moment DD had me up last night and just feel that bone wearingly achingly tired premenstrual way..... woe is me. Anway I am at long last under the 14stone mark which is great.

I have lost a total of 9lbs now so you and I are neck and neck JODIE - What height are you JODIE? I am 5 foot 8and half inches so I would look amazing if I was 11stone My target is 11.5 as I am being realistic - have not been 11 stone since I was about 24!

Where are the rest of you? Fill us in on weight loss so far and I will update the list for motivation!!!!

i am adding lbs and it is making me sad,

i will lurk till i am skinny,

thankyou ladies

Snoopdog, you come back here my lady and get dietimg again, you can do it, just think of your beautiful wedding next year!!!

I've lost another 1/2 lb, so we ar neck and neck rumpel.

Also I am a tiny 5'3 (nearly) I am forever saying that I'm not too fat, I'm just too short!

Yeah JOIDIE good idea - by rights I should be 6'3" .

SNOOP - come back to us we will send you + vibes and help you out - every time you feel the urge brush your teeth, do 10 sit ups, strat knitting!!! Stop pressurising yourself and take it 1 day at a time and have a treat without feeling guilty and htat you have ruined your healthy eating plan - just go for a walk for 10 mins or do a little exercise and you won't feel so bad - that's what I do. DON'T LEAVE US!!!!!

Right, I have had a bad couple of weeks with dd2's birthday, having a friend to stay then going to my mum's. I mean bad for dieting of course, I have had a fab time really

I am back on track now and have decided to go back to my Slimming World class and pay for another 6 weeks with the aim of losing another half stone by Christmas.

I am breastfeeding loads at the moment as dd3 is up 4 times a night so I'm hoping she is sucking the fat off my thighs!

Will post weight tomorrow after class - bound to be a gain!

Well done Jodie and Rumpel . Snoop you should join me in restarting the diet this week, your posts make me laugh, please don't stop posting

Agree with Ponto - Don't go Snoop, you do make me giggle!

3 and a half on this week

ok,

i shall stay

2 lbs on in last 2 weeks, but I have been eating all the wrong things so I suppose it's fair enough. Weight now 12st12lb, total loss 5.5lbs. I'm just glad they didn't make me give back my half stone award at class today!

I do feel v of mums who say 'Oh I just breastfed and the weight fell off, even though I was eating doughnuts every day.' I think they must be lying (or only eating 2 doughnuts a day and nothing else!)

I'm going to a halloween party this afternoon (a week late as everyone was away for half term last week). There will be loads of party food left I'm sure as the kids are always too excited to eat much. And I find it so hard to resist a plate of chocolate fingers! I need willpower vibes!

Glad you didn't go off in a huff decided to stay Snoop
