Reserving my place for January 1st - Part 2 - Spring into Summer - Anyone welcome :-)

[LisaLessLumpy]

1st March - Time for a new thread

We can now forget/capitalise on the first two difficult months. The lighter mornings are upon us, soon the sun will be shining more and more and it will become warmer. Time to start thinking about the spring wardrobe...

Come on ladies, lets go for it, Summer will be here before we know it, and we want to enjoy it don't we?

I have copied the stats from the last weigh in, I have put the Jan start weight first, and the last weight that was posted, so update as necessary I have taken off a couple of people I haven't seen in a while, apologies if you are still checking, please say hello and add yourself to the stats again, as well as anyone else who would like to join.

Glad it went well JKS. You enjoy that comfort food ( and drink). You deserve it.

Glad everything went well JKS . keeping my fingers crossed for your DS on the anti-epileptic drugs.
Well done on hitting your target too !
Lisa -sorry about your foot.Does it still hurt horribly ? You were doing so well with the exercise too!
I lost 2 lbs last week and have stayed thesame this week but have lost inches, which I bloody well should have done after 4 x 1 hr gym sessions!!

morning all -

hope everyone is OK and spurred on by the sunshine...

i didn't lose any weight at my friday weigh in but i maintained so not bad

x

Well done Katiestar & Luckym

Not hit target quite yet, i set my goal as 8,7 as that was my pre-pg/wedding weight.
So only those last few pounds to go....

How's everyone else doing?

Weighed myself yesterday again, finally. Its not good. Back up to 11st 4lb, so I have only lost 3lb since Jan 1st

Oh i'm a bad old Mary...!

Put me under a little bit of strain (trying to catch up on my course work for the last month) and all sense of other priorities has gone...

I'm here... but still constrained to the internet-access-when-ds-is asleep-and-i've-done everything-i-need-to-do-or-ds-goes-ballistic syndrome... i finish the course beginning of next week.

So i'll see you all and read up on the other side...

Sending good luck to you JKS.

All best to you lovely ladies

I'm really sorry you're having such a struggle Lisa. It's so demoralising I know. At least you are lighter though than at the start of the year( small comfort though I know) But imagine where your weight would be by now if you hadn't decided to lose weight at the start of the year.

I've been on holiday this week and have totally, shamefully pigged out. I know I've put weight on. The clothes that were looking very loose on me are now not looking so loose.

I am dreading weighing myself Monday morning, but will have to face it, give myself a big virtual slap and get back on track.

Hello to Mary. Will no doubt see you on here again when things aren't so hectic.

Hi JKS. Hope things have settled down with ds now. Soon be at your goal weight you lucky thing.

Waves to everyone else still here and struggling on.

morning all

i have lost 1lb this week, better than nothing so i am pleased but the weight loss is definitely slowing down so it needs a rethink - ie, smaller portions. Yes, sorry to those who are struggling, it is definitely harder the less you have to lose. I think I am passed that initial euphoric big weight loss (i was "obese") and now comes the real graft to get to 10 stone. I may consider joining WW for the last stone - have you ever tried that Lisa? I find the discipline (and money) quite a good motivator. Good luck to all and have lovely weekends.

Where is everyone?

How were your weekends?

I have been really good food wise since I weighed in on Tuesday last week, forgot to do it this morning but I am going to weigh again on Thursday before I go on my hols. Away for a week from Thurs to Thurs, hopefully I can stay the same as before I go.

Hope you are all well and trying to keep with it all

Hello All,

I was away longer than i thought i would be.

Anyway, the course is done, and thanks to this thread it's spurred me on to do another one on Human nutrition. The texts look interesting and hopefully they will be encouraging for me.

Hope you have a lovely holiday Lisa. Wow!

And hope you had a great holiday Countess!

Good on you luckymoray!

And well done on that gym Katiestar!

And you are one svelte mama JKS, not long before you've reached your target!

I'm going to weigh myself... er... i haven't done this in a while, and i've found studying and snacking have been going together... so...

argh! up to 11st 2lb. oh well. it happens. I'll put myself on the grid next monday, it will give me some incentive.

I'll be staying at my mil's from tuesday for about a month, as the flat is being painted. I'll try to get into a internet cafe for weigh ins...must avoid the cafe part of those places...

Hope you're all well and getting out and about...
And big congrats to Mixedmama and her race for life! Well done!

I'm not brave enough to face the scales at the moment. Have been and bought some of those 'Appesat' pills to help with the weight loss. Took 3 yesterday before evening meal and they seemed to do the job nicely. I had a small dinner and felt nicely full all evening, so we shall see how that goes. I might be brave enough to face the scales in a week.

Countess, That's pretty brave taking the pills. My only experience of pills were some ones i got from a chinese herbalist about a decade ago, they made me jittery and i decided to give them a wide berth once i realised my concentration was going.

Your ones look like they work in a completely different way. Let us know how they go for you.

I must drink more water. Lots more.

Hi ladies, see this !

Weighed myself this morning, last week I was 11st 4.2 (whatever that .2 stands for )

This morning I was 11st 1.4 and that is without exercise, my foot is still too sore to exercise properly.

Off on holiday in the morning for a week, I'm praying for a stay the same and will be ultra good

Lisa I am so pleased for you.

At last, your hard work is paying off. Have a great holiday.

Lisa - well done you

Countess - pills still working? hope so.

We've had such ups and downs with ds2 & his epilepsy diagnosis that diet and good intentions are a distant memory.
was 8,11 on the Wii last night - though after dinner so not too worried about that - but def not losing anything anytime soon.

why is it that you have more takeaways when someone's ill????

Well the stress diet is overruling the takeaways, Wii Fit said.....8,9 tonight

LADIES - WHERE ARE YOU ALL????

I am on my hols and I think I am doing well food wise, the evening meal portions are small and I am resisting the bread which is usually my downfall, I am also limiting alcohol to one or two glasses a day, and also no snacking either. If I get home with a gain I am going to be very disapointed.

I hope everyone is doing ok and not going in the wrong direction, come on everyone, come back and lets start posting again

Hello Lisa

Hope you're having a good holiday. Yeah, the thread seems to have died a death. I'm feeling pretty good as I've been so naughty but finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself and have only put on 2lbs! I was secretly thinking it would have been abut half a stone, the amount I've ate and drank!

Hey Lisa, you've well and truly overtaken me! Gotta catch you up again! Hope you're enjoying the hols.

Countess,we're definitely trickling in slowly now. No excuses for me really, just plain embarrassed at falling off the wagon after a bit of stress! I need to find my resolve again.

Well done on 8,9 JKS!

Been crap the last couple of days and have gone back up to 11,4 doesn't taKE MUCH DOES IT Ooops

I know Lisa. It's a PITA.

I agree. Boo.

I'm finally off to MILs with no web while the decorator is in. Well dh has sweetened the pill and has booked a week or so on a deserted beach. So now i'm in a frantic spin realising that i'm nowhere near my summer body i'd envisioned. But on the plus side, oh yes, i'm still about a stone lighter than i was at the beginning of the year.

So lots of protein salads heading my way.

Good luck over the next several weeks and i'll pop in from cafes.

That deserted beach sounds lovely. 6 weeks for me until Florida and yes, I am a good stone lighter than I was at the start of the year but still no where near beach body ready.The thought of waddling around the Disney Water Parks is starting to freak me out. Last time I was there I was pregnant so had an excuse! I am ready to tackle it with gusto as from tomorrow and up the excercise like mad.

morning ladies.

i am back too after a couple of weeks at my parents' house with such bad internet connection that i didn't really go online. hope everyone is well.

the best news for me is that 2 weeks at the ma and pa weight-loss boot camp (they eat MUCH smaller portions than we do and live far from a shop so i can't pop out for chocolate!) has resulted in me somehow getting down to 10.10 - and that's with no exercise. I realise now how much me and partner put away on a daily basis. Maybe I'll see if they want to start up a business!

So I am delighted to post the new results. good luck to everyone in the next week.

Am also officially lighter than my partner now...something I haven't been for a good few years. hooray. just need to keep it up now.
