2010 Weight Loss Club: here comes the Summer!

[bebejones]

Old thread here

Nice new home for us now that March is over!

Now do this properly!!

First play
this

To all my fellows on this thread we are celebrating 6 months ( or thereabouts ) on the path to a healthier life and greater slinkiness.

This award recognises our achievements especially for when:-
1...We couldn't really be arsed with dieting, and lost the will to carry on....
2...We STS when we have tried so hard......
2...For when we've craved stodgy stuff when AF was looming.....
3.. For the days we've said " No thank you," when actually we meant "Yes please, gimme loads!"
4...For the days when our scales conspired against us and we want to smash them into a zillion pieces
5.. For when it seemed that although there were ups and downs, there seemed to be more downs than ups.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD IN HERE???!!!

I am presenting this

No hang on a minute, wrong one....

THIS

to recognise our achievements, we should be proud for our perseverance and motivation often in the midst of adversity!

Now play this to complete our ceremony!!

KEEP GOING STRONG EVERYONE!!!! WE ARE DOING GREAT!

you obv have far to much time on your hands lol

love the music

Piste - made me smile thank you!

Blondes - sts is still good though, you'll prob end up with a loss next week I think sometimes it takes a while to catch up IYSWIM?!

Have been so bad food wise this week & eaten lots of sneaky bad things! Got BBQ 2moro so bound to eat loads of bad stuff again, will be a miracle to even sts come Monday. But hey ho, just keep reminding myself it's the long haul & I had a fab couple of weeks so deserve to have a treat (or 10)!!

Am planning on taking DD to the Playgroup fun day on the green 2moro, so if it's sunny (as forecast) I shall walk up the giant hill so that ought to help counteract the burgers in the evening!

Blondes...Funnily enough when I have pressures on my time, I seem to find time to do other things, if you know what I mean??!!

I have 140 children's end of year reports to proof read and sign, but I do have until a week today. I shall be like this..

BEBE bbq sounds yummy and if you walk then will cancel -out-- help towards the bad food

PISTE do i take it you are a teacher? and us woman can multi task so even if very busy , we can still do things that need doing

i really am in a grump over my non loss kinda makes me think why be sooooooooooooo good if i dont lose even an oz compared to being bad and sts

nour thread has really dissapeered to just us few hasnt it, 6mths in and many have given up, tho compared to the first thread where there was 100's and many gave up within a month or 2, so we have all done so well

on the good side, i have just tried on a pair of 12 jeans that i used to wear and then couldnt get up my top of thighs, let alone do up and they FIT

am wearing now but still cant do up my lovely suede trousres which is my aim and i still need to lose 11 lbs to get back to my original weight and hopefully will just slide them on

me again - can you tell its my day off

just reading through ww mag and there is a site for d-k bras called brastop

i have had a peek and some really nice bra for larger boob sizes - prices seem good as well

there is also 15% off if you enter "figures" at checkout - offer till end of july

blondes thanks for the link.

I've just had fish and chips, 2 lagers and a cappuccino in the pub, while waiting for ds to come out of a party I'd better go for a run tomorrow.

piste I am honoured.

140 reports you must be knackered.

I've one to add:

6. For days when we have gained some weight and it's so hard to carry on

The train may have runaway after easter but I have carried on. We have done brilliantly.

I just want to know when the lardy tummy will beat a retreat.... after another 10lb I can imagine.

bebe We're exactly the same height at 5ft 4.5, I've put my goal at the top end of 5ft 5, but thinking back 10.7 is better for me, same as you. Don't worry about having some treats, you've been unwell and after losing so much need a break.

Piste - wow that's a lot of reports!!

Blondes - thanks for the link, have bought myself a much needed new tankini so I can take DD swimming without flashing the lifegaurd!

Trimmer - I'd love some proper chips My lardy tummy is still hanging on, despite all sit ups, don't think it's actually going to budge!

Had a massive piece of lemon tart after my jab tonight was super scrummy though!

Dreading Monday!

Hello my dears just a quick flying visit has taken me ages to read through and will catch up propely soon i promise! But well done on 1lb Trimmer and its ok Blondes you'l kick da scales app next wk hun

Bebe lemon tart sound so good but i shall not ask for the recipe as im just gagging to make the crumble cake again already!
Piste my head spins just thinking about reading 140 anything let alone school reports! Good luck!!
Will be back soon, take care all and i hope the sunshines for you all and ye have lovely weekends xxx

Fortunately I only have to read and sign these things. Yes my background is teaching from R to Year 6 but I am currently head of a pre prep department so now others have had to do the hard work! But it is v boring for me!! I have to be v careful what I say re work because I am sure MN is packed full of parents at our place, and I do like to remain anonymous. I love being daft & swearing etc and in the real world I am v sensible !! LOL!! If I was rumbled I would have to disappear and I need to stay with my fellow slinkies!!

Enough of that.. Have a lovely weekend everyone. Good luck on the weigh in. And if you haven't collected your trophy please do so and put it on your mantlepiece with pride!!

we will tell no one your dark secret

I have so much food in my fridge I am scared to open the door in case it all leaps out and attacks me! I am holding out no hope what so ever of staying on the wagon today so will need a helping hand to get my round barel like self back on 2moro!

Hope everyone else has a good weekend!

piste I'm sure you have a cunning disguise Ooooo, never done a wink emoticon before!

A question for you - my mum will have her 80th in July, she wants to see a show. She won't cope with the tube, but my sis says Billy Elliot is on at the theatre just by Victoria Station, and we can get a train straight through. What's the name of the theatre?

blondes the sun's out. Are you tanning?

piste I am not being great, had fish and chips/lager last night, just waited in Sainsburys while my dd was at a party and had 2 cappuccinos/lemon and blueberry cheesecake. And you are not a barrel, you slinky thing!

We will both climb back on the wagon tomorrow.

Nothing much happening here, couple of little boys coming to play later on. Piles of laundry to do

I meant bebe!

GT - You may have the award because it is for the achievement of staying with it on this diet, long haul and all that, and check out the people clapping at the end, that always makes me smile!! So take the award and put it on you mantelpiece!!

Billy Elliot is on at the Victoria Palace Theatre

See HERE

So very close ( and v v v close to DH's London Office!!) they station will be bustley at that time of day, but I love that London bustle!!

Bebe Step away from the fridge and go and dust your Trophy!

..alternatively GT you could get a taxi from Victoria, and that would take you door to door which also might make it easier for your mum? Obviously more in terms of ££ but as it is a special occasion, and that could increase you options for different shows. Although Billy Elliot is excellent, I haven't been but DD has and some of my friends too who rave about it!

indeed the sun is out in blondeland

been to the gym and SWEATED tons and worked very hard then having a curry tonight

the boys go to the pub and watch footy

the girls have a curry - yummy!!!

BEBE why is your firdge jam packed?

Having loads of friends over for world cup BBQ! Got more meat than I know what to do with!! Made a load of fairy cakes & just got kebabs to make. Made some cous cous salad too, gonna try and be good but it is not looking hopeful...gonna gain by Monday!

BEBE have you got sausages?

Morning everyone !! Im hiding in my dd bedroom atm as we had a bit of a party last night and have friends crashed downstairs fast asleep who dont have children so im not sure that they would appreciate a 6am wake up call lol.

I have sts this week but when you eat crap what do i expect ? I guess im unhappy that i dident reach my goal weight but then again i have gone down from a 18 to a 14 so yep im not going to be the best body on the beach but im going to look alot better than i did last year. Im going to give the diet a good go in the next 12 days and hopefully will lose a little more before i go away.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend xx

Evening all

Dh's niece came over for lunch with dd's bridesmaid dress - it's gorgeous, ivory taffeta with coffee coloured embroidered details. I just need to make sure that over the next 6 weeks I lose about 1/2 a stone, wedding is not that long away. Keep going everyone.

I am having a bad few days diet wise, but at least want to make sure I am 11 stone by my birthday in early July.

laughalot well done on sts. Where are you going?

blondes well done on going to gym. I am going running this evening.

piste thanks for the information about Billy Elliott. And when I reach 10 stone 5 I will need another award!!

Lovely bridesmaid dress!

Funnily enough SIL is coming over tomorrow evening with DD's dress. I have stressed to DD that whatever it is, it will be gorgeous and she will wear it with a smile on her face!!

Last time she was a bridesmaid she was nearly 2, and although she had definite opinions, they weren't nearly as strong as at age thirteen! From the description it sounds lovely - creamy white, spaghetti straps, three quarter length. Well tomorrow we will know, I just hope it fits because she is growing like a weed and the wedding isn't until September, she's already as tall as me. What is now three quarter length could end up knee length! LOL

Good luck all for the weigh in
Well done to all so far

Can I come in please?

Have been so naughty!! So much food over the weekend & had McDs pancakes for breakfast and ate what felt like my body weight in meat yesterday (including sausages )!

It is not going to be good 2moro!

Trimmer - dress sounds lovely, bet DD will look fantastic!

Piste - fingers crossed your DDs dress is nice too!

Laughalot - don't be too disheartened about not reaching your goal YET! You have done so well!

I so have to get back into a diet frame of mind this week, would love to reach my goal by DDs birthday...8lbs (ish ) in 8 weeks...totally do able! (Providing I don't have too many days like the last couple! )

Good luck for 2moro everyone who weighs in!

LAUGHALOT you have done so well and sometimes targets get moved

BEBE sounds a fab night was had

TRIMMER aww sweet bm dress

PBM get your arse back here to cheer us on

PISTE hello

keep going girls and good luck with weigh in one and all tomorrow

Morning all, hope everyone had a great weekend. Well after about 100 weeks of sts, I have lost a pound, but not just any pound a significant pound that takes me into the very top of being a considered a healthy weight ( by the BBC BMI calculator ) so I'm really delighted, when we started in January, could not have envisaged this!

Woooohooooooo
