Not fat exactly..but not happy either. Just me? Anyone want to join in a friendly, motivational thread to lose a dew pounds?

[sassy]

Gave birth to dd2 4.5 months ago and since then I have lost 2st2lbs of the 3st I put on in pg. I would like to be slimmer than I was when I conceived though, so ideally have about 22lbs left to go.
It would really help me to have a pal or two to chivvy me along.
Any takers?

sod it - put on a pound. I blame the huge bottle of wine I drank at the BBQ on Saturday. I ate very little BBQ food to compensate!

hi my 1st week with you guys and have stayed the same. 11stone 8lbs. Used to be 10 stone. any tips. Did have a 40th bday and 1st to go to Ate 2 donuts and 1 burger. Cut out all mochas ( very difficult love them) and been on three long walks but still the same. Am breast feeding so not sure how little i can cut back. well done applemummy hope I can do the same soon

Going on hols 4 weeks tomorrow and need to shed half a stone - would like to be able to say I'm under 10 stone.

Will weigh myself tomorrow and report.

Ill be one day late...totally forgot to weight myself at the swimming pool as i ran in dropped dd2 off and ran back out for a quick kite flying session with dd1 and didnt even give it a second thought so I will remember tommorow..or get the kids to remind me! Well Done all you losses!

gained 2lbs. But But I have an extremely stressful weeek but now have finished college. I can focus on loosing weight. I have two barbecues thiswkend so am aiming to maintain weight or even loose a pond or two. I'll just have to do a healthy barbecue then everyone will be eating the same as me

Applemummy Congratulations and you too Lucymoo and everyone else who lost weight!

okay okay I'm heading to the corner, who else is joining me?

You lucky lot who lost weight what is the cyber treat for the one who lost the most, this week?

Hey guys

I haven't weighed myself today as the scales are broken (not under my bulk I hurry to add!) but I am going to my slimming class on Friday and I promise to update you all then!

Screwballmuppet - don't worry about the weight gain! It is bloody difficult esp with bbqs etc.

Well done for owning up to it! I am NOT looking forward to my slimming class on Fri even though I thinkI have been quite good....

Checking in here....

I'm 5ft 6 and 10st 7 today - need to lose the half stone by 5 weeks today when I start my hols - miscalculated last night but at least it gives me an extra week to sort my flabby bits

applemummy - 4lbs (6lbs)-THIS WEEK'S CHAMP!
furball - 2lbs (4lbs)
chicagomum - 1lb (6lbs)

Special congrats to applemummy - you win this week's prize, a dusty bottle of blue nun I won in the playgroup raffle last Xmas and which has sat in the cupboard ever since. You are allowed one glass per week - as long as there's been no other sinning! (Betcha can't wait !)

Still waiting for a few results - will try and post an updated list when they are all in.

Good luck for next week ladies!

Am totally overwhelmed at the thought of the blue nun (have to confess to thinking it was the height of sophistication in my (very) early student days....... Obviously will be dedicating my win to my family and perhaps donating the blue nun to furthering world peace.....

Well done to everyone and here's to another good week (have to say this thread is really helping my willpower..nice to know you're all there trying to be good too

Forgive me margorie for I have sinned. I just got a mars bar from the chocolate machine at work cos I'm on a course and don't think I will get through it without one. I shall repent and not eat again until Sunday.

ladies,

Is it too late to join in? I gave birth to DD2 2 weeks ago tomorrow and am now one stone over pre-pregnancy weight and one and a half stone over ideal weight. Am breastfeeding and recall from DD1 that i actually put weight on when Bf her, as i ate for England (wales, Scotland and N ireland too). Have just consumed tons of sweeties meant for DD1's party bags and feel so guilty have shamed myself into "doing something". I don't intend a formal diet, just to stop eating cake, biscuits, chocolate and other assorted crap - and am in need of serious motivation! All help gratefully received.

So how does this work??

(strident tones) KBEARRRRR! Baaaaad girl!
No more mars bars - EVER!

Top tip time gals...

Tis better to eat less, real quality stuff and really enjoy it, than more 'lite' stuff and suffer the lingering taste of hydogenated vegetable oils!!!
(Ditto sacharin)

Welcome nogger.

We are very informal here, just a weekly weigh in on weds (let me know your start and goal weights too) then I'll post a roundup of everyone's progress. Lots of support you can come on for a moan etc.

The marjorie persona is not really what I'm like - its sort of developed as the thread has got underway!

Right..im not 11.3 im 11.5 so im going to aim for 10 stone...will be super good and see what happens next week. the fact that I have gained since the last time I weighed myself will explain why my trousers refuse to fit

maybe they shrank in the wash...............

sorry, am late (gggr, dh forgot to bring laptop home yesterday!) anyway, have somehow lost 2lbs this week! V pleased. also have lovely new bra size of 34DD apparently, so have shrunk...a bit!
well done, everyone - Applemummy, go girl!

Potty, have similar amount of weight/deadline as you! we can do it!

I weighed myself late this week because of my period. Always put on some extra pounds when I'm due on. Anyway, have lost 4lbs this week . And I had doughnuts!

I'm sure cutting out all chocolate, biscuits, cake and crisps has helped, and I've stopped drinking fizzy drinks and squash. I snack all day on fruit now, and the craving for sweet things has gone. Oh and no alcohol in the week. Saturdays is my day off and I eat whatever I want and drink whatever I want, then it's back to normal.

Can't wait for this to have an effect on my boobs. I'm a 34H but have some lovely bras in a smaller size in the back of the drawer.

I once weighed my boobs and they were half a stone. I'm sure they're more now.

Well I will be leaving to go my slimming class in an hour... eek! I think I have been really good this week so I think I may cry if I haven't lost any weight... or, even worse.... GAINED!!

surfermum it looks like we have tied this week so I feel I must share with you the virtual bottle of blue nun bestowed on me by majorie. So it's half a bottle each and don't drink it all at once.

still going well this week mainly through not eating between meals and trying to be as active as possible..although have just had a large chocolate chip cookie but at least it was only one and not the whole packet which it would have been a few weeks ago.

Looks like nearly everyone had a good week..glad to see you back on the straight and narrow dinny..we missed you on wednesday!

Ok -start weight as of this morning (gasp) 11stone 3lb. Target weight 10 stone but this might be a bit optimistic! Would be hapy with 10 st 7lbs but lets start aiming high!

Surfer - how on earth do you weigh your boobs?!!!!
