Strength to you all - spoke too soon DS has just awoken

Rumpel well done I bet you are buzzing - there is nothing like a good loss to make you feel great!

Rumpel · 30/07/2009 13:48

Thanks CeeBee - yep i do realise though that it is only as it was my first week and it will slow down . I am off to Gretna Green next week for a 3 night saty with my family - it is my parents' 40th wedd anny so I it will be harder to watch the cals. Think I might treat myself to a cake next Friday when we are in the Gretna Village retail thingy 2 weeks since I have had cake now! That is an amazing disappointment achievement in itself

JODIEwantsanewname · 01/08/2009 21:17

Well done everyone, sounds like getting this thread back up and running has given us all the kick up the bum that we need!!!!

I'm having an awful week, am within my cals everyday, but have my AF, so not last anything on my cheeky sneaky peeks! Maybe I need to up my exercise? Or maybe it's just normal to retain some weight/water while on AF! [fingers crossed emoticon]

Rumpel · 02/08/2009 16:28

hey JODIE I am due AF and a snack bin today I have put on 31/2lbs of fluid already ! Bugger

MABS · 04/08/2009 17:27

am having v bad week...

JODIEwantsanewname · 04/08/2009 18:11

MABS - same here, well, Ilm trying to be good, but with my AF the weights just not coming off, maybe I;ll have a double loss next week?? I bloody better as I wanted tobe 10st 7lbs by next week....... Weigh day tomorrow, so fingers crossed

JODIEwantsanewname · 08/08/2009 06:28

Hi guys, it's all gone quiet again, are you all off scoffing cakes and bisuits without me?

I am now 10st9.75, so will have to have a 2.75 weight loss this week to be 10 7 for my 'big' birthday, not impossible!!

Get this, for my present DH, MIL and DM have all chipped in and bought me £200 of House of Fraser vouchers and a personal shopper I'm so excited, I seriously need to update my wardrobe as I've been pregnant or losing weight for 4 years now so my clothes are getting abit tired and boring! I'm going to get some nice underwear, a nice 'school run' dress, (something I can wear chunky tights and boots with) some nice trousers/jeans and a couple of nice tops, my shape has changed so much that I'm not sure what style suits me anymore, so the personal Shopper will be amazing!!!! I'm off on Wednesday, all on my own, I love it!!!!!

Ceebee74 · 08/08/2009 09:02

Jodie that sounds amazing - I would love something like that. What a lovely thoughtful present And you can do 2.75 next week!!

Just had my weigh-in this morning - lost 2lbs this week which means I am now under 13 stone - woohoo I never thought I would manage this but here I am. So that is 38lb in total and another 18lb to go.....

Went shoppingy yesterday and got some new PJ's - size 14 - and they fit (but yes I know they are stretchy!) Another 5 weeks before I return to work so I should definitely be able to buy my new work clothes in a size 14 now which was always my aim!!

I am feeling good again today (as you can probably tell).

Hope everyone else is ok.

MABS · 10/08/2009 18:14

what a marvellous present! Well done Ceebee, tat's great you in a 14.

I now 9 st 11 but am sure it wont last after i eat dinner tnite!

MABS · 13/08/2009 10:23

lbt in a min, spin tmro,pump Sat ...aarrgghh

Rumpel · 13/08/2009 14:01

I've have been away (only had cake twice) and an oink oink since returning - so tired and fed up as my Ds has been very poorly the last 2 weeks. Also AF so the scales said that I have put all the weight back on that I lost . Back on it today so ............

Well done everyone else.

It's weird how you kind of lose your sense of self after becoming a Mum and feel really confused about what suits you, what to wear isn't it? I found it particularly so after DD (almost 3) not quite as bad with DS (12 months).

Sounds fabby JODIE - I often wonder what they would dress me in? My exBF suggested calling Trinny and Suzanna for me once - this from the girl who wore a thong and miniskirt when on AF and got pissed and when dancing on chairs you could see her tampon string hanging down LOL!

Rumpel · 18/08/2009 10:46

Where are you all? I have put on 3lb the last couple of weeks. I am having a horrible time as my DS has been poorly for the past 3 weeks and I am stressed and shattered! Poor wee chap it is horrible to see him in pain. Hope the rest of you are well and being strong.

JODIEwantsanewname · 21/08/2009 08:00

I'm back, Birthday update, I wanted to be 10st 7oz, I got down to 10st 9, not too bad, but I had a good night anyway and looked fab Everyone kept commenting on how much weight I'd lost I had a great night!

Anyway, since then I have put on 2lbs, basically cake and alcohol! I got bought so many bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates that it was rude not to eat them!!!!!!

Started again yesterday and even went out for a 'run' so I'm going to weigh myself today and start again on a Friday from now on!

Hope everyone else is OK?

Rumpel Keep going lassie, I hope C is OK now?

MABS · 21/08/2009 13:30

Rumpel - how you doing?

I am v pissed off, still 9st 11 despite no booze since sun, classes and gym every day, including pole dancin Wed eve!!, and eating sensibly too

JODIEwantsanewname · 28/08/2009 09:23

Just a quick update, have lost 1lb, but going camping this weekend, so fingers crossed for nice weather so I can walk off all the goodies that come hand in hand with camping (wine, hot choc, pub lunches!)

Hope everyone else is OK
