Ok, feeling a bit better today, and managed to get DS into the creche so can go to the gym this morning. Put 1lb on, but considering I have AF and have not dieted properly at all, I think i can deal with that.

Had a night off the diet last night, we always watch the superbowl with American style food! So had a hot dog & potato wedges & lots of bad things! Just didn't have as much as I would have. Came in at about 700calories, so not too bad I guess!

Well done to all on losses & thoses staying the same!

TubbyDuffs · 09/02/2010 11:30

Right lost the one I put on last week! So back to 6lb loss. Will try harder this week.

Afternoon ladies

Well, my Clare Richards DVD came today. I can see what Blondes meant about the fit men

I started a thread on Style and Beauty about clothes fitting properly for those of us who are ample busted, I've had some great advice, but I am hoping also to reduce my measurement there.

Bebe - I had a day off as well yesterday, cheeses and biscuits. Well done for keeping a track of the calories you had.

skinsl - I used to love putting my dc in the creche while I exercised at our local leisure centre. I used to sneakily have a cup of coffee as well after my shower.

Tubby - well done on your 1lb loss.

Eddas · 09/02/2010 13:23

murtette I searched and found a switch!! Horah!! It was INSIDE the battery compartment, obviously So I now have my st & lbs back yay!

Good news after yesterday's bad behaviour is that the scales say 11st 8lbs so I have indeed lost 8lbs so far. A more worring thing is that I weighed myself last night, to test the st/kg change on the scales and i was 11st 12lbs so my weight changed by 4lbs during the day, that's loads

GettinTrimmer · 09/02/2010 13:42

On my scales I am 3lb lighter in the morning than in the evening.

bebejones · 09/02/2010 14:02

I'm usually around the 3-4lbs mark lighter in the mornings too! (Alway weigh after going to the loo , don't know if that makes a difference!!) If you weighed everything you ate and drank during the day it makes sense that you weigh more at the end of it, as your body hasn't had a chance to break it down IYSWIM?

Eddas - hoorah on finding the switch!

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/02/2010 15:56

well done on those who have lost after i last posted

murette, glad i was of help
trimmer - bloke on back right is ALL mine

had a bit of a crap day today, eating bad fatty food

bubba is being a pita and i NEED chocolate!!

will try better tomorrow

Poohbearsmom · 09/02/2010 17:14

Am sick just a rotten sore throat and a sinus infection but i feel awful, was bad yesterday but am worse today sounded like a old smoker man of about 90 all morning and when i went out to get supplies from the chemist and supermarket ya know what i did? only drove off without my buggy only realised when i was home unpacking the shopping and it was long gone had a very fattening stew for lunch and mopped it up with two toast

Kayzr · 09/02/2010 18:08

PBM so sorry to hear you are ill and you lost your buggy.

Just getting ready to go out for dinner. I think I'm going to have chicken satay. I've pointed myself chicken curry which is 10 points but chicken satay is 5.5 so it means I can have a starter. Yay!!!!

Murtette · 09/02/2010 18:14

Eddas - I am impressed in your determination in looking for the switch!

PBM - hope you get better soon. Sorry to hear about the buggy.

twittertotter · 10/02/2010 07:24

morning all, soprry I;ve ot been round much but been back at work and some chaos with childminders and broken laptop have cut me off for awhile...

I've finally cracked the 1 Stone loss - Yippee!!

Well done everyone esle on keeping the effort up - its not easy but I find slow and steady is the way to do it and if I do end up socffing a big plate of chips, then I just do more wii and eat really goood the next 24 hours!

twitter - well done on cracking the 1stone mark!

I sat in bed lst night working out my weight loss & how long a 'healthy weight' would take me! If I carry on at the same rate, roughly 3lbs a week it would seem, then I could be 10st 7lbs by 1st June! Very surprised, unless I have completely worked it out wrong of course!!

Was naughty again and had 2 small pieces of garlic bread with dinner last night. But had been very good all day & was still within my calorie allowance!

DD has her swine flue jab this afternoon so am feeling a bit stressed about that. Mine hurt so much that I am a bit worried about her being in pain.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/02/2010 08:21

TWITTEROTTER well done on stone loss

PBM sorry you feel ill and OMG at someone stole your buggy!!!!

im heading up to the stone mark - slowly and surely (like a snail)

but know thats the best way to lose it and keep it off

but like with PMB no one has commented that i look thinner , tho db (had him at home last week) did say he wasnt giving me a biscuit to help with my diet

anyway, onwards and upwards

have a good day all x

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/02/2010 09:03

Blondeshavemorefun and PBM

I don't know about you but I am really just wearing the same clothes as I was at Christmas time, ( obviously I have been washing them ) except for one pair of smaller jeans I bought as an emergency. I have just been using a belt!

It is possibly not really surprising that no one has noticed weight loss yet? And it's been so blooming cold that we are all wrapped up in layers, well I know I am!

When it gets warmer, we shall all emerge as beautiful ( & slimline ) butterflies from our cocoons of winter clothes! Then everyone will be blown away

bebejones · 10/02/2010 09:35

Piste - really made me laugh!!

Poohbearsmom · 10/02/2010 09:49

Well done Twitter Bebe that wud be amazing! do ya think ud stick to a program or healthy eatin plan or sumit when ur preg? im kinda worried il pile it back on again or worse id be depriving the baby of sumit he/she needed. i realy controled myself when preg wit ds2 after a very hard preg wit ds1, i lost half a st n da 1st trimester & gained 2st by the time he arrived which isnt too bad. food focus says il reach 10st by end sept if i cont. at 2lb a wk but dh wud hav liked to start ttc da last few mnths as he thinks its lovely havin the kids close n age so they can play together etc but i def think i do the lions share at home so i was a 'little' overwhelmed & wantd to wait a bit but i hav bn thinkin bout ttc n the summer & if we'r lucky we cud hav a baba n da spring when ds2 wud be 3 which i think would be easier, i think.... But anyways back to point diet and preg? What does everyone think?

Poohbearsmom · 10/02/2010 10:12

Piste lol your a poet and we didnt even know it Blondes tis all my own fault like i know im sick so not operatin on full brain but come on how cud i b so stupid! i was too embarrassed to go n2 the offices around where id bn parked beside when it wasnt near where id lft it i jus 'hoped' some1 ad stolen it rather then some1 jus gona bin it altho it has seen me thru 2baba's so ant new or gud luckin but stil feel da loss & feel so stupid

bebejones · 10/02/2010 10:17

Think I may be postponing TTC coz of health issues. Thinking about aiming for a baby next year so TTC later this year than planned. Has been a big decision, that I am still feeling a bit about! But will def try & stay healthy when PG next time. I lost a stone in the first 20 weeks with DD coz of hyperemesis, but was 2stone heavier by the end as the only way I didn't feel constantly sick was to constantly eat! I don't think I was that bad last time, but 3stone (essentially) on in 20weeks is a tad naughty! Baby wanted pizza & I wasn't going to deny her!

Kayzr · 10/02/2010 10:21

I put on about 4 stone with DS1. I lost about a stone before getting pregnant with DS2. I put on 1.5 stone with DS2 and lost in about 2 hours after he was born!!!

GettinTrimmer · 10/02/2010 11:05

Morning all

Twittertotter Congrats on your weight loss

PBM Sorry you're feeling grotty, hope you get better soon.

Blondes Went to Body Combat today, remember you saying you've been recently. Also, you can have the one on the right, I'll have the other two Good idea for Clare to exercise with those fit men, we'll come back for more if she releases another DVD.

Piste Thanks for those words of encouragement. Are you all set for your holiday?

Only one person has commented that I look like I've lost weight, but I can definitely see my waist goes in more.

Bebe I know what you mean about pregnancy sickness, I lost weight with both mine though - I weigh the same now as I did when heavily pregnant with my ds.

skinsl · 10/02/2010 12:02

I did ok when I pg. Only put on about 1 1/2 stone, and DS was 10lb!!!Lost it all no problem. And I felt healthier and looked healthier. I reckon it was the no alcohol!!
TTC at the moment, but a bit halfheartedly cos I want to lose weight first. Had couple mc too, so weight loss would help.
DS off to nursery this pm, so I am off to gym.

Kayzr · 10/02/2010 12:17

Skinsl, same here. DS2 was 10lb 5oz so the weight I put on came straight off.

GettinTrimmer · 10/02/2010 12:57

Kayzr I remember quite a while ago you were thinking of getting yourself a swimsuit size 14 as an incentive - Did you go ahead? I'm thinking of doing the same and getting some size 14 tops.

Kayzr · 10/02/2010 13:03

No I didn't in the end. I couldn't find any I liked so I was waiting for the spring/summer stuff to come out.
