Thanks for the welcome

I didn't get off to the greatest start yesterday, we ended up going out for dinner! However I didn't have any beer with my pizza and I had eaten far less during the day than I otherwise would have so better than if I hadn't decided to start doing this!

I'm really inspired by all your weight loss, I have been reading through the thread.

I will e-mail them today about the BFing - thanks

Jodie was going to say the same as Dozy - never mind falling off the diet, did you have a good time???

LB honestly, you have a better social life than I ever had even before my boys came along

Spent most of the day decorating - when I put it in WLR as exercise, it only gave me 53 cals per hour - it was bloody hard work so I am sure it must be more than that!

JODIEwantsanewname · 08/04/2009 10:58

Hi guys, finally got a min to catch up.

I had a fab time, weather wasn't up to much, but I managed 2 books!!!!! I missed the boys like mad, but it was OK, I spoke to them about 3 times a day! I also ate and ate and ate! Was so scared to look at scales, but did today, as its weigh in day and I put in 3lbs!!!!

Back to the grindstone today though, I went to BC last night, but didn't feel as if I worked as hard as I usually do as they are in the process of introducing new trcks and I got so lost! But I tried to make up for it in the old tracks!

I've just had one piece of toast this morning and I'm starving now as my stomach needs to get out of the 'grazing' habit! I'll help my self to a banana I think [boring emoticon]

So, this bloody stone still eludes me! I have 3months to lose 1stone 9lbs, and thanks to you guys, I think know I can do it!

Welcome back Jodie, sounds like you had a great time.

Welcome Ali.

Well things seem to be a bit on hold here as struggling to get out proper dog walking i.e. fairly fast as is school holidays and have 3 year old in tow but we did walk.

JODIEwantsanewname · 09/04/2009 16:29

I am officially starving!!!!!

I had today - toast for breakfast
Subway for lunch (6 inch ham salad, no dressing)
and having low cal bolognese for tea (400 cal a portion)

Have been for a run today too, need something to take my mind off food, glorious food!!!!!

Ceebee74 · 09/04/2009 21:04

Well I have totally fallen off the wagon today with a takeaway pizza, garlic bread and beer

But me and Dh have been building furniture literally all day today and we are both absolutely bushed so the takeaway beckoned!

But I did do a Body Attack class this morning (in between building the furniture) and this is only the 3rd time in 14 weeks I have fallen off!

Ah well it is done now

Just seen on FB that Dozy has got tonsillitis again and been in hospital today

Dozymare · 10/04/2009 11:12

morning all! ceebee I am sure you will be fine having done a body attack class and all that furniture building, if not, as you say, it is only 3x fallen off the wagon. I fall off it every weekend and then have to starve rest of the week to make it up. Or, get tonsillitis again!!! Anyway, the only positive thing about the tonsilitis is that I can't eat much! Therefore this weeks weight loss is -3lbs!! Taking me down to 13stone 13lbs...(although I have had 2 weeks of staying the same, I feel this is well deserved). This week, I am aiming for maintenance as I want to eat easter eggs!

Good luck everyone else!

Ceebee74 · 10/04/2009 12:59

Dozy well done on the weight loss - although I am that you are under 14 stone as that is my next target!!

Enjoy your easter eggs - hopefully they will make you feel better

LadyBuzz · 10/04/2009 17:38

Well done Dozy I know its not the best way but the results are stil good. Hope you feel better soon.

I had a fab night last night even though I drank far too much again
Had a sneaky peek yesterday morning and had another 1lb off but not officially weighing until Sun so it may well have slipped back on by then I hope not!

Ceebee good luck, all that furniture building should make it ok!

LadyBuzz · 12/04/2009 08:42

Morning all, Well I have weighed in this morning and maintained by 1lb off for this week better then nothing.

The wii fit told me this morning my ideal weight is 8st 7lb - no way in the world could I maintain that weight!

Happy Easter everyone x

Ceebee74 · 12/04/2009 13:38

Well done LB - my target weight of 11 1/2 stone is only just in the ok BMI range - anything less than that I would look awful so I would ignore it and go for what you are comfortable with.

Weigh-in yesterday....stayed the same. I did expect that and tbh, I am not really trying this weekend - aim to pick up and start again tomorrow so will probably just try for maintaining this week aswell.

Happy Easter to you all - hope we are all enjoying a little bit of chocolate

Dozymare · 12/04/2009 20:39

Dozy -

Well done all and Happy Easter. I managed to lose 1/2 lb which I was pleased with as have become the grazer from hell this week leading up to AF, one more week of holidays to go and then can go on do some serious exercise (or at least more regulalry).

Ceebee74 · 13/04/2009 20:22

Just wanted to share that I actually wore my size 16 jeans today...woohoo!! they felt a little bit tight but DH said they looked good and I managed to climb/run around soft play in them so they couldn't have been that tight

Considering I could barely fit into size 18 stuff when I started, I am really chuffed
