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?

Well there's two methods for weighing your boobs.

One is you lie on the floor and flop them onto the scales.

The other is you get your dh/dp (in fact anyone!)to stand behind you and take the weight of your boobs in their hands and watch the scales go down.

I've tried both methods and come up with the same result. For some reason dh prefers the second one .

My boobs weigh next to nothing it's my bum that's the problem.

had big(huge) choco downfall (pmt /stopped smoking)no one missed me at weigh in though but i had to confess-didnt make it to a set of scales anyway -will try harder this week
well done applemummy glad to see your pg habit back under control !

Hi, it's so nice to have a supportive group of mums to chat with. I need to lose 2 1/2 stone by the end of Aug. Probably impossible, but that pink strapless satin dress I have to fit into for my brother's wedding is inspiring me! Somehow, with a ten-month-old DS and so little time to cook, I have resorted to eating tons of junk.

lunachic - well done on the stopping smoking! Don't eat instead!

Hello to all the new joiners to our little gang of "Not Fat Eexactly's"!!

Weigh-in's on Wednesday if you can. I've been useless (Mars Bar yesterday FGS but I was on a mind-numbing course and marjorie has had her moan!). Must do better this week.

Hello ladies

Went to my weigh in and have lost 2Ibs! Woo hoo! They also gave me my target weight, 8st 12Ibs so that means I have a stone to lose.

Have to be very strict with myself, got a party tonight and MUST only have have a couple of drinks.... fingers crossed.

Hi SassyMarg,I missed logging in on WEds but I did weigh myself - surprisingly I had gone down to 11st3lbs, the scales do not seem very consistent, I weighed myself at least 3 times in the a.m., 1 - when getting up, 2, after morning wee, 3 - after wholesome organic(bland)rice puffs and tea/water.Then I choose my favourite weight!!!
Dh returned from France last night and forced me to eat chocolate and drink red wine with him - tell him off Marj!!

pmsl, Surfermum! God, dh would love it if I decided to weigh my boobs using method 2! poor starved man that he is

Bad day today .Ive eaten sweets,had a kebab for tea and have done absolutely no exercises,im using the heat,as lovely as it is as my excuse!

Ive had minstrels, loads of booze chips doritas and dips today Can see me weighing MORE on wednesday. Couldnt focus because of the heat..

right, am getting myself in hadn this week and NO alcohol except Saturday (copying you, Surfermum). Going to be hard though - I do love my glass of vino in evening.

Bad day for me too yesterday......went to a barbie and drank copious amounts of wine.

Must do better!

I have been away housesitting for a fortnight and did'nt have access to the net.

I now weigh 12.5, so seem to be losing a 1lb a week, thats not good at all, that means it could be another 43 weeks before i hit my target weight, aaaarrrrgggghhhhh

Good Stuff Tiffini! Might need to speed it up though
I have been better today, not angelic but better!

Am feeling v. guilty today ladies. Was DD1's birthday party yesterday and I ate: lots of pizza, not much salad, lots of ice cream with flake in it, lots of cake and extra chocolate. Oh, and not forgetting the wine. That's falling off the wagon in a serious way.

Going to keep myself v. busy today to stop the eating!

Was anyone good over the weekend

Ladies...gather round. (Flaps hands excitedly).

Just been updating spreadsheet with late weighers and noticed that we have our first person to lose half a stone!

Many congrats to... SURFERMUM!!!
Several on 6lbs so look forward to a couple more popping over boundary on weds.

Sadly, i won't be one of them..hot weather = no willpower for marjorie!

WELL DONE SURFERMUM>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very

well done surfermum

naughty naughty to the minstrel eating, wine-guzzling, BBQ brigade of which I am one!

However, I have been sensible this weekend (ish) and today I flung myself into aqua aerobics like a demon, frothing up the pool like a mad woman and hope to report good things on Wednesday.

fabulous surfermum well done.

I fear I am falling of the wagon big time not helped by washing machine door falling off (a disaster with 3ds's) and then the hoover handle snapping in half.Everything will be fixed and replaced by tomorrow but still a twix made everything feel much better for at least a minute and then I felt guilty....... DH is pushing me out the door to the gym tonight apparently for my own good Must be very good tomorrow or will be back in the naughty corner and in majorie's bad books!!!!!!!

I'm on crutches as fractured foot so not sure how I'm going to loose weight as the gym is definately out now for little while along with swimming as getting cast on tomorrow

Muppet - I haven't forgotten the tan wipes - I will try to remember and get them tomorrow when I'm in the village. Have rubbish memory. You probably won't need them now if you're off your feet, you can sit in the garden(NOT eating) and tan naturally with this good weather!

How did the accident happen then?

Well done surfermum!

Sorry for you screwballmuppet... what happened to you? (sorry if I missed it)... it seems I am very behind everyone else... must try harder!

Poor you muppet How long are you going to be off your feet for?

Well I might be this weeks winner tomorrow as the heat must be affecting our scales as I've lost a stone since last week!!

Anyone else want to pop round for an extra super doupa weigh in?
