Ok Ok you have heard it all before, I have a gazillion stones and pounds to lose but this is me and this is the first time that I really have put my hands up and said enough - 16.5 stones is too much I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!

My best way of eating properly is a low Gi diet but anyone doing any diet is welcome to be my buddy. I have a DS, a DD and a DH all of which keep me on my toes - I love all the things that are bad for me - I slip up all the time - I don't exercise enough and my clothes are too tight.... sound familiar anyone?

Please..;.pretty please?

Well girls, if you are going to weigh on a Friday, I will do the same. Was 85.2kg on Fri.

Yes, I am definitely going to do the half marathon. I got a Garmin & footpod for my birthday, and I just love using gadgets.

Blondeshavemorefun has a good point, maybe we should start a new thread? Our thread is going to be 6 months old tomorrow!

missnatalie · 19/05/2009 23:35

Sorry for the late update. Have been mega busy decorating. I had no loss at all this week (last friday). I had up until i changed the battery in my scales . Anyway im still at 12st 6lb . I so cant wait to get into the 11st area!!

Must dash. Its 5 mins to midnight and im still painting

TheYearOfTheCat · 22/05/2009 23:08

Girls,
85.2kg today - again

MissNat - how is the decorating going?

Blondeshavemorefun - how have you got on this week?

missnatalie · 23/05/2009 10:18

OMG ive lost 4lbs this week!!

Im actually quite shocked as ive done no exercise what so ever and gone over my cal allowance most days. Not hugely over, but still over.

I really am shocked. Puts me at 12st 2lb. Nearly into the 11st area

At least you havnt gained any TheYearofTheCat . Maybe your body likes you at that weight . Have you dropped and dress sises.

Cant beleive were still doing this. Ive normally given up well before now. Im so proud of myself. Proud of us both

TheYearOfTheCat · 23/05/2009 12:31

Well done MissNat - I think I always do this when I get to a milestone - I had wanted to get to 85kg for my birthday, and then when I am almost in sight I hang around that point for ages. It was the same for 90kg.

I have done an online conversion, and 85.2kg is 13st5lb. I am going to aim to get into the 12 stone region over the next 3 weeks.

How exciting to be able to say you are almost 11 stone something!

TheYearOfTheCat · 05/06/2009 22:00

Hi MissNat, how's things?

84.4kg this morning.

Pats self on back.

How are you getting on?

missnatalie · 06/06/2009 20:52

Hi Theyearofthecat im having a really crap time at the moment at the min. My HAE has flared up again so im having to take my steroids. I hate taking them as i retain so much water with them. Last week i went upto 12st 5lb and am still at 12st 5lb today . I was really hoping to have lost some this week. Have done 5 x cardio combat sessions plus 2 x days of decorating (painting). But no, i aint even shifted a lb!! Im feeling really low at the moment so having a diet free day today. Funny thing is that i dont really want to eat. Aaaarrggghh!!

Feel a tiny bit better now

TheYearOfTheCat · 08/06/2009 00:06

MissNat - chin up. You are doing so amazingly well.

I don't discuss my weight loss with anyone in RL, so I really get so much moral support from our thread.

missnatalie · 12/06/2009 19:51

Have weighed myself a day early as im gonna be mega busy tomorrow. Have lost 2lb this week so am now at 12st 3lb

How have you done the year of the cat

TheYearOfTheCat · 12/06/2009 21:39

Hi MissNat - well done! Are you still decorating?

I was 83.8kg today.

missnatalie · 14/06/2009 16:52

No not decorating at the moment. Still got the kitchen to do but that can wait. Im all decorated out at the moment .

Have no idea how ive lost the 2lb this week. DS has been really ill and in and out of hospital all week. Ive had no time to cook so have been living on take-aways!!

TheYearOfTheCatMPADist · 21/06/2009 15:23

Hey MissNat - How is DS keeping? I hope he is ok & you are bearing up.

I was 83.8kg on Friday - I don't want to go near the scales after the weekend I have had. - Too much food & drink!

missnatalie · 25/06/2009 10:59

Hi Cat DS is alot better thanks. He had a viral infection along with Buccal Ulcerations in his mouth, tongue and all down his throat. He didnt eat for 9 days and barely drank . Hes back to his usual self now though. A monster .

On Saturday i weighed 12st 1lb so am 15lbs away from my target of 11st but obce i get there im probably going to try for 10st.

Is it just me or do you also find it terribly hard to diet when the sun is shining and your surrounded with ice cream and bbq's Mmmmmmmm

TheYearOfTheCatMPADist · 03/07/2009 23:04

Hey MissNat - Glad DS is on the mend.

I know what you mean about dieting & the sun - although my saving grace is that I am drinking loads of water.

Thank goodness for the weekend. I am in severe need of alcohol!

15lbs away from your target weight - that's great! Keep it up, and stay away from the Sainsburys 2 for £2 offers on ice creams.

Anyway, I was 83.4kg this morning. We are away this weekend, sans kids .

How have you got on?

missnatalie · 06/07/2009 10:21

Hi Cat ive gone up again this week . 12st 3lb. I seem to be hovering. Im uping my exercise this week though to see it that helps. I bought myself a new dress this weekend in a 12 . I took the 14s into the dressing room and was gobsmacked when it was baggy. I was over the moon when i was able to do up the 12s though. Its from FCUK and i normally find there range really small too.

Hopefully next week ill be at the most 11st 13lb. Fingers crossed

missnatalie · 13/07/2009 12:15

3lb loss for me this week. Puts me back at 12st with just 1st to lose until i reach my target. Although once i get to 11st im gonna try for 10st.

How have you done Cat

missnatalie · 21/07/2009 10:32

Where are you TheYearoftheCat . Hope your ok.

Ive gained 3lb again this week. Aaarrggghh. Dont know whats going on with my body.

TheYearOfTheCat · 22/07/2009 21:08

Hi MissNat,
Sorry I haven't been about - I have hardly been near a computer lately.

I am too scared to weigh myself at the moment. I have been massively stressed with work (crap staff, too much to do, no time to do it), and have been diving into the biscuit tin for solace. I will weigh myself on Friday and report then.

Size 12! Good work.

TheYearOfTheCat · 30/07/2009 22:45

Hey MissNat,

83kg this morning! = 13st 1 - Just over a pound to go until I am in the 12 stone club!

I have had to dig out an old pair of size 14 jeans, because all my other ones were hanging off me! Best thing is, these ones are pretty loose too!

I have been busy for the last couple of weeks cleaning / decorating our flat after tenants moved out - boys can be such dirty slobs -euurggh.

I must have burned some calories during this!!

How are you?

TheYearOfTheCat · 31/07/2009 10:31

Cleaning does burn calories!!!!

82.4kg this morning.

I am now officially a member of the 12 stone club. (12st 13 1/2lbs)

How have you got on?

TheYearOfTheCat · 09/08/2009 22:17

Hi MissNat,

How are you getting on?

I had flu?? last week, and all I wanted to do was eat carbs and sweets - they always make you feel better when you are poorly.

Anyhow, 83.4kg this week

missnatalie · 15/08/2009 08:59

Hi YOTC

I lost the thread .

Am sooooo busy at the moment. Havnt had time to come on and update. Hope your still around.

Im as 11st 11lbs now . Going on holiday in 3 weeks and so wanted to be 11st by then but its not to be. At least i wont be the 14st 7lb whale that i was last year though, lol.

RachelPross · 17/08/2009 19:22

Hello all, can I join you?
I've just joined a slimming class but thats only once a week, need something in between to keep me on the straight and narrow. I'm currently 13 stone 10 (after having my 2 DDs) and am desperate to lose about 2 1.2 - 3 stone. This wobbly belly of mine is not doing anything for my self esteem
