I'VE ONLY GONE AND BLOODY DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I've finally lost a stone!! whoo hooooooo!!!!! (lost 1 lb this week)

Can you tell I'm excited????????

I've also lost my job so WLR has had to go, but I've got an App on my phone that only cosy £1.50 and it does the same job, and I can download food off the interweb if it's not on their database. It's quite good actually, so I;ll stay on here if you don't mind. Looks like gym might have to go too but I'll try and hold onto it as long as I can, it is a council run one though, so I can still do the classes even if I;m not a member, so we shall see.....

Hope everyone is OK.

Ceebee74 · 22/04/2009 16:15

Jodie what good and bad news for you. Firstly a huge WELL DONE on reaching your stone - how much more do you have to lose now?

And for losing your job - was it expected or has it come as a complete shock?

What a bugger about the classes - could you not even afford one a week as a treat?

JODIEwantsanewname · 22/04/2009 16:27

Ceebee thanks - I'm going to see how it all pans out. It was abit of a shock, and no warning either (am self employed and the guy I was 'working' for decided to stop my contract and go 'in house' instead So I'm going to try and get a job in a bar and take it from there, so I;ll need to
A) see about money (one class a week shouldn't be too bad)

b) See about time, if I'm going to be out 2/3 nights a week working, another night might be a struggle.

The thing thats got me most upset about it is taking the boys out of nursery, DS1 has been there for nearly 2 years and he loves it (and I do to!)

I now have 1 stone 4.5 to lose, so 5lbs til my next 'target' of under 11 stone

LadyBuzz · 22/04/2009 16:45

Well done Jodie but sorry to hear about your job, I hope it works out for you.

Dozy I a also being super good this week, I've done 30 mins on the wii fit twice (very good for me) walked to and from nursery and been good with my food aswell!

Hers hoping it bloody works!

Dozymare · 22/04/2009 18:59

well done jodie we are having a good week for weight loss aren't we?!! Shame about your job, especially as you didn't see it coming? What is it that you do jodie???? I know you are self employed but have a look at this really good for mum friendly jobs

how is everyone else doing today?

I met the lovely fiveindorset today at a MN research panel thingy for Kodak printers. She is lovely, and really didn't see me scoffing chocolate brownies

Thanks for that link dozy I;ve had a quick look through and some interesting jobs on there. I did do telesales, basically booking appointments for reps to see them about coffee machines (mainly pubs, but small business too) He's offered to keep me on, but commission only, which is OK, as long as he gets the sales, but I need to earn X amount to pay bills and stuff so can't rely on Com only, but will do abit of calling for him when I get a chance.

I bet it was nice to meet today!

Missn Where are you and how you doing?

missnatalie · 22/04/2009 20:47

Hi Everyone

Sorry to hear about you losing your job Jodie. It really is pants . A huge congratulations for reaching your 1st target loss though.

My diet has been going well up until easter. I went up to my mums for the week and knew i wasnt going to be able to diet so had a week off. I didnt eat LOADS but i mentally know that i went well over my allowance. On Fridays weigh in i had gained 4lbs!!. It took just 6 days to gain 4lbs but is going to take at least 2 weeks to lose it again . Im definatly not going to be having any time off again until i reach my target.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 23/04/2009 11:54

Jodie so sorry to hear about your job, fingers crossed that you will be able to find another one soon.
And huge sympathies about the nursery.

But massive well done on your stone.

I had a great time in London, imbibed in some cocktails and supper with my nephew, and one chocolate brownie, but haven't dared get on the scales.

May I just say, how beautiful and lovely I think Dozy is, and her DD is gerogeous, it was fantastic to meet you and thank you for the morale boost and will be getting back on the wagon yet again, although I think the wasgon is getting confused as to whether I am staying or going.

MissNatalie sorry about your gain but hope you had a good week away.

Dozymare · 24/04/2009 09:01

Batteries have gone on my scales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAARRGGHHHH>>>What should I do???? Not going to get a chance to get weighed today but will be able to at the gym tomorrow evening, trouble is, I like to PIG on a friday and Saturday....what would you do??? (I know the answer and am gutted as DH is cooking a feast for tonight)

Dozymare · 24/04/2009 09:02

acutally, just answered my own question, am going to my mums to weigh myself! Will post later!

Ceebee74 · 24/04/2009 19:38

Dozy well????

JODIEwantsanewname · 24/04/2009 19:40

Well Dozy??

JODIEwantsanewname · 24/04/2009 19:40

Oh crossed posts Ceebee!

Ceebee74 · 24/04/2009 19:42

It is obviously such good news that she is keeping us waiting

Dozymare · 24/04/2009 19:57

14 stone 4lbs [according to my mum's old fashioned scales] which means a +3lbs increase... I don't really believe this though as have beeen super super good but will use this as need to monitor a result....Hopefully will get a new battery for my digital ones tomorrow or Sunday so will either post that result or just wait until next friday (when I am hpoing for a massive lost obviously!!)

What do you all think???

OP posts:
FiveGoMadInDorset · 24/04/2009 20:05

Scales vary enormously so you should always weigh on your own.

Ceebee74 · 24/04/2009 20:38

Dozy I would ignore it tbh - as Five said, scales vary so much that I really don't think it is not worth recording at all. I would wait until you get new batteries for your scales and just weigh then and record that as today's weight iyswim.

JODIEwantsanewname · 24/04/2009 20:55

Dozy, I'm with everyone else, I'd weigh yourself again when you've got new batteries and record that as this weeks weight.

missnatalie · 25/04/2009 11:58

Dozy as the others have said ignore those results. When i weigh myself at my mums im always 3lb heavier and at DPs mums im 5lb lighter. You'll get more consistency (sp?) from your own.

Im pleased to say that ive lost the 4lb that i gained during the easter break. Puts me back at 12st 9lb .

Ceebee74 · 25/04/2009 13:19

Missnat well done

I stayed the same this week which was what I expected tbh - I had lost 5lb in the last 2 weeks so I guessed it would stand still.

Not sure about this week - it is my birthday on Monday so will be consuming vast amount of cake I feel

Dozymare · 25/04/2009 13:38

well done missnat and ceebee......I got a battery for my scales, and they make me 1lb on which is not good as have been brilliant this week......Still, I have to stick with that and hope for a good loss next week......

ceebee enjoy your birthday, I think you are the only person on here who isn't yo-yoing up and down (no offence to anyone else!)

Has anyone tried Cadburys clusters yet? 170cals per bag and very good for a choccy fix.....

JODIEwantsanewname · 25/04/2009 20:41

Well done Missn

Ceebee I agree with Dozy You are the most determined of us all!

dozy put it down to a power surge with new batteries

LadyBuzz · 26/04/2009 08:18

I have had my weigh in and this week I have lost 5lb.
So I lost last weeks 3lb gain and another 2 lbs on top

I have been super super good this week though and also started increased the exercise big time!

Puts me at 11st 2lbs.

There is hope of fitting into this dress yet!

Dozy sorry your result wasn't what you wanted, hopefully your good week will show in next weeks weigh in.

LadyBuzz · 26/04/2009 08:19

Missn well done you

JODIEwantsanewname · 26/04/2009 11:33
