I need to post on this thread more often to keep myself in line Thanks for your encouragement.

BethAndHerBrood · 02/03/2005 18:48

How's everyone doing this week, upto now? Bit apprehensive about getting weighed tomorrow, can't possibly top last week, so whatever happens, it's a dissapointment, kind of.But then again you can't lose 4lbs every week, can you??!!

"Motivation and Fortitude"

miam · 02/03/2005 19:06

I wish Beth! Anyway, it doesn't really matter how quickly you reach your goal weight, just that you get there. And you are more likely to do it if you take it steadily, changing your eating habits to more healthy, sensible ones so that it becomes a way of life, rather than just a diet. All the best for tomorrow. And Mars - weight maintenance is great. Onward and downward for you my girl!

Yorkie - gold star to you! Motto should be "Motivation, Fortitude and Resistance"!!

I've been remarkably good over the last 2 days. No cheating and I have meticulously counted my cals for once. Don't expect to lose pounds this week as totm, but hopefully a few cm will disappear. Off to salsa now hooray!!

Fennel · 02/03/2005 19:54

some of us can't even lose 4lb over several months it seems

glad to be reminded that it doesn't matter how long you take to get there, MIAM - I am confident of getting there sometime, but not very soon.

dp keeps buying me expensive chocolate. very Nice but not Good.

BethAndHerBrood · 02/03/2005 21:07

Right, feeling put in my place now!!

Have had the weirdest of days. Not good day at work - really big argument with another worker which ended with us both in tears.Have sorted everything out now but I hate arguments and to make it worse I am really friendly with this girl.
Then I fell after I came out of slimming world and have hurt my back, my arm and hit my head - Sore.!
BUT lost 4lbs this week
Am soooooooooo pleased after all my struggly weeks - Thanks for the support and motivation.
I will now take my battered body for a (hopefully) relaxing bath!

miam · 02/03/2005 22:22

Loobz - fantastic!!! The motto must really be working!

Sorry beth , didn't mean to preach! Hope you have a good result tomorrow .

Evesmama, I do hope that sausage sandwich is not going to cause a replay of the bowel problems?? There is only so much talk of 'motions' that a thread can take!

Evesmama · 02/03/2005 22:25

MunchedTooManyMarsLady · 02/03/2005 22:26

BethAndHerBrood · 02/03/2005 22:32

Where are you to be getting snow? There hasn't been enough snow here to cover a gnats ar*e!! Although it does seem to hailstone everytime I put my nose out of the front door!!

Evesmama · 02/03/2005 22:33

middlesbrough!, was a thin layer when we got up this moring and then about 2-3 inches fell in an hour!!, kept melting then laying again all day so will be v.slippy!

miam · 02/03/2005 22:34

Great Mars! You should see us now - real Cuban cuties! Really getting the hang of it all now and learning some tricky moves. The only problem was that my lovely, kind-hearted sis gave me a nice black t-shirt which I wore tonight. Only discovered when I got to class that it STINKS 2 minutes after you put it on!! She found this out after wearing it once, so kindly gave it to me grrrr. She spent the whole time tonight pointedly holding her nose, and making puking noises when I swung her under my arm! Think I may pass it on to one of my other sisters now....

MunchedTooManyMarsLady · 02/03/2005 22:37

how's your cross body lead going? Can you do double turns yet?

miam · 02/03/2005 22:38

Can only just manage the turns Mars - don't ask me what the names of them are!!! We will have to meet up one day at one of the big salsa events somewhere. Hopefully I will actually get a man to dance with, instead of having to always BE the man!!

MunchedTooManyMarsLady · 02/03/2005 22:40

I'm going to a salsa weekend in June. Can't wait!

miam · 02/03/2005 22:42

Oooh where?

MunchedTooManyMarsLady · 02/03/2005 22:44

Pakefield Pontins. So excited!
