blondes sorry to hear that We are always around for a chat.

bebe Wow!! I am so pleased for you, very well done.

piste Another wow!! Well done on your 2lb.

murtette really well done on your 1lb, are you still bf?

I've had a think, and a mini sulk , sts is good as well, I know, but I am going to have 1400 calories per day (and see how I go) and taking into account that I exercise 4/5 times per week, I will go up to 1800/1900 calories Saturdays and Sundays.

At the risk of boring everyone I am going to check in every evening and say if I've managed to do 1400 cals.

I am changing my weighing in day to Saturday, I just think something like this might give me a boost.

Congrats to Murtette & Piste!

Forgot to say, will be weighing this week on Sat then following Tuesday as am off to my mums for Easter!

I am baking hot cross buns with the bake along today. They are my FIL's favourite so are for him really as he is having a tough time. Hoping they are feezable then I can take some to my mums for the weekend! From memory HCB's are actually quite low in sat fat...as long as you don't smother them in too much butter! The recipe doesn't actually contain that much butter so can't be too bad! But hey, it's Easter, gotta have a bit of a treat right?!

laughalot · 29/03/2010 11:40

6lb loss bloody fantastic bebe keep up the hard ork.

Blondes hope things are ok men are a right pain in the arse at times. We are here when you are ready.

thanks girls

bebejones · 29/03/2010 13:03

I will be so happy to get to 11st7lbs....but, I might actually aim for 10st7lbs which would just drop my BMI down from overweight to healthy!! Who knows will see how I feel when I get to 11.5!!

Well done Laughalot!

Am just popping in to update myself and to say...
Well done everyone on losses and staying the sames - both are an achievement! The fact we have all been going since January is an achievement too.

I have 3 pounds to go to my two stone and March ends on Wednesday, so not sure I can do it short of cutting one of my legs off >

What I did discover though is that I have less than a stone to go to be an officially healthy weight ( according to the BMI calculator on the BBC website ) so that is definitely my next target.

laughalot · 29/03/2010 14:24

ratherbeonthepiste we weight the same want to share clothes

GettinTrimmer · 29/03/2010 14:53

It's week 12 now!! A big congratulations to us all, as Piste says what a brilliant achievement.

My friend who I've not seen for ages had lunch with me today, she said I look so much better for losing the weight

We said for every 1/2 stone lost we'd treat ourselves - so I'm going to town tomorrow and will get a set of Davina dumbbells to do her 'top fit.'

I am sooooo happy... I've never had a twin before!

bebejones · 29/03/2010 19:25

I am literally shaking with rage! Totally crap end to the day! Tenants in flat trying to pull a fast one & I don't think I have ever been this angry! It has completely put me off food!! Have had an anxiety attack for the first time in 5 years & feel completely crap!

Sorry to whinge just need to let it out a bit!

Going to scoff a hot cross bun & try and chill out! DH has bought me some night nurse so hopefully I might sleep despite everything!

Sorry to bring down the mood!

mrswill · 29/03/2010 19:57

hello all,

well done to all that have lost. cant believe its the 12week mark, dont think ive ever stuck to a diet for so long, and cant believe low carbing actually works. Im 9lb from my very optimistic goal of 8stone 10lb. Ive lost 1lb this week, and going to step it up a notch on the exercise this week by going to step aerobics. Went last night, thinking it was going to be a piece of cake, and it was harder than running my usual 2 miles. Am trying different exercises and recipes this week, as talking to my fitness instructor mate, apparently the body adapts if you do the same routine food etc, day in day out, and stops losing weight, and it needs shocking into losing again by doing something different. So we'll see if his plan works next week!
Hope your situation gets sorted Bebe.

Not snowed in. Have you got snow where you are Piste? Just grey, horrible weather here.

Hope you are OK Blondes and Bebe.

I Have just seen dd in her first school performance, she was a spring chicken doing all the actions. Sooo cute, really impressive how the teachers have organised 4 and 5 year olds to do a lovely little performance!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/03/2010 14:31

No snow either but only about 4 degrees and wet. Yuksville

laughalot · 31/03/2010 15:03

Hi all

Iv decided this week is a going to be a disaster. Fri out for curry with the girls, sat out with my parents for a meal, sun out drinking with dh ! I guess I should just enjoy it and get back on it next week.

Is it only my children who broke up last fri from school? The easter play sounded very cute . I work in reception at school as im training to be a teaching assistant its a very nice age.

Piste my weight sister are you in scotland,ireland or the north of england them with the snow ?

Im in the midlands about 10 min from sherwood forest robin hood country no snow here.

Bebe hope the tenants thing gets sorted.

laughalot · 31/03/2010 15:06

Bebe your little girl is super cute I am so nosey looking at everyones profiles. Mine has my two on mainly as I hate pics of myself im just huuuugggeee but getting slimmer .

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/03/2010 15:55

Sorry laughalot.... We have NO snow just v cold and wet!

Ours break up tomorrow. DS has two weeks, DD nearly three. Can't wait to not have homework and lunchboxes!

JODIEwantsanewname · 31/03/2010 19:01

Hi all, hows it all going?

I've been on 2 runs this week well, I say run, I mean week one of the Couch to 5k thing... Well, it's a start!

I'm in the midlands too, but further south than you Laughalot, I'm near Lichfield/Tamworth, right by Drayton Manor (Thomasland) And the weather is horrid ths tme last week I was planting seeds with DS1 and drying my washing on the line!

Bebe hope all is well with your tenents
Blondes Hope all is well with DH
How is everyone else?

mummymels · 31/03/2010 22:10

I?ve not been around for a while as been really busy with work etc and miss my chatting time so it?s nice to be back. I hope everyone are doing well and I apologise that I would never be able to catch up on missed news so could someone fill me in if I have missed anything major please.

The last couple of weeks I have just lost 1/2 lb each week so weight loss really slowed down.

Having said that, from this week now I am not eating mainly the Go Lower food anymore, I'm making mostly my own food too. Well, I have just started doing this since Monday so it's still new and we'll see how it goes. I have to admit the first couple of days I haven't been very good. It must be the freedom lol! We have had a religious holiday which involved a big family meal and I was very naughty and indulged in one roast potato each of the two days. Feeling a bit guilty now but couldn't say no.
