Hi everyone

Thanks Smiles, its good to be back

Hope you all had a good weekend , its my weigh in tomorrow night, so hopefully this ticker will move !!

Hi all sorry haven't checked this thread much this week
Looks like you had a good holiday Kop Queen - you'll get the 10lbs off no problem if you can get PEPing with no hiccups.
I've had plenty of hiccups over the last two weeks
I know I went off friday week ago when we have friends over for dinner - but somehow I lost 1.5lbs last week
However this last week hasn't been too great either - I've had gravings for the sweet and sickly stuff is what I should have done - I now know that 75% of this carving was TOTM - I ate the bad stuff - all of it - but can honestly say didn't really ENJOY it - a bit too sickly sweet
So dear only knows what the scales hold for me tonight - I dread it by only have myself to blame (as well as TOTM)
and will probably need a good NUDGE from you all to get back on the straight and narrow
I'm considering the following changes - going to change from the checker as the only record of my eating and restart my log book /
/ Buy a sports bottle of water and keep it filled beside me at work to sip on all day / Try to get DH to eat more veg and miss out on more that 1 carry out per week / likewise with the shared bottles of wine max 2 per week

On a good point though - I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO AN OLD PAIR OF JEANS - will try others in cupboard over the week - you never know

Hiya,

Bet that was some feeling getting into your old jeans Ethne. Good luck for tonight.

Smiles, I ordered a pair of black wide leg trousers and an ivory beaded top from the Simply Be website. Hopefully they will be ok. I couldn't stand the thought of a dress. Its too alien to me! The shoes are well sexy though. I'm really impressed.

Good luck to everyone for the week - mine's not been too good up til now

AnnieC - what top are you wearing with your outfit?
Now to report in - 1lb ON
Heres hoping that I can get a good loss next week without the monthly complications and the encouragement from all here
Does dropping checks each day help get a better loss - I did this unintentally a month or so ago only to STS
Anyone got some good advice to help get a decent loss next week
Going to try a walk each night - while its still light and ordering a gymball dvd - not ready yet for the Taebo
I'd really love to get 10-14 lbs off before my birthday or better still break the 17st barrier

Ethne...just a pound gain after such a week is fantastic !!

Congratulations on getting into your old jeans too Good luck with your changes.

Annie..outfit sounds wonderful.

As for me....I lost 6 pounds

After staying the same last week, I have lost 6 lbs this week! I am now in a different stone as well!!

We lost the same SS,

wonderful result Paula and SS....keep it going everyone!

Morning gang

Good to see you popping in Eli

Have a great day and good luck to anyone who is getting weighed today

Morning all

Good to see some great loses here this week.

Not going to make class today as kids are all off school, but will get back next week.

I have had a couple of bad days this week but trying to get back onto the PEP today.

Have a good week everyone.

Flick

Great to see you Flick

Have a good day xxx

hey girls how is everyone? hope your all having a fab week, if not pep wise then in other ways !

i just scanned this page quickly and notice 2 of you fab girlies have lost 6lb this week! thats FANTASTIC!!!!! well done!

well i havent been good at all this week (apart from today). me and my other half stayed over i glasgow for a concert on friday nite and its safe to say i fell right off the wagon ! i just couldnt seem to help myself, TOTM too which hasnt helped. but im not making excuses, ive been rubbish and i shouldve done much better. im needing a kick up the backside actually ! also last weeks w/i i gained half a pound which i deserved.
i usually go to class on a thursday morning but im going to go on saturday this week as i know its not going to be a good result so it'll give me 2 more days to try and even things out a lil bit. i think if i go on thursday and have gained quite a bit i'll feel rubbish and prob do even more damage. !

well im off to read through all the new posts in more detail so i can see how your all doing!

xxx

ok just had another quick scan and notice that you lost another 3lb smiles!! YEEHAAA! im so chuffed for you ! i hope you have another good result this week!

Hi Minnie

Why not go to class Thursday, get the gain you expect then you have a full week to gewt pephead back on and have a good loss for next week. Just thinking Saturday weigh in just gives you 5 days for another loss.

Have a good day everyone

Hi all

some great weight losses here. I lost 1lb this week so knuckling down and hopefully get 2lbs off next week. I really need to get organised and get my meals sorted.

Have a fabby week

Janexx

Brilliant Jane and congrats on your 1/2 stone award too

Thanks Paula

Your doing so well too

Janexx

Hi All,

Well done to everyone who's lost this week. Never mind, Ethne, 1lb isn't bad and you'll lose it this week. The top I bought is ivory with beaded things on it and 3/4 length floaty sleeves which will hide my bingo wings nicely I think its also quite low cut so flashing a bit of cleavage will avert eyes from my big bum and tummy. Sorted

Bye for now

Annie x

well done jayne !

kop queen i know i should really go to class tomorrow but i just know in myself that i'll feel really down about it if it is a big gain so i dont want to take the chance, i think i'd rather try and minimise the damge done this week and hopefully even just sts next week or lose what ive put on. its as much a pyschological thing for me as anything and in the past when ive done the same ive given up and really dont want to go down that root again ! hopefully you girls on here can give me the big kick up the backside that i need!

annie your top sounds really nice! i think cleavage is always a winner ....well it was for me in my single days anyway lol

xxx

well kop queen i think you were right, im gonna go to class this morning and face the music , ive been thinking about it and like you said it'll give me a whole week next week to try and have a good loss! fingers crossed anyway

Good luck Smiles and Minnie

Minnie...just think you have a whole week to work at losing any gains, hold on to how you feel today , it might help for the future

Have a good day everyone.

Aw cheers for your support everyone . I'm single again and I'm not taking a partner, although I'll know quite a few people there. AND the groom's a policeman so you know what that means........ I am quite nervous about it though.

Hope you got on ok at class Minnie. Hopefully you'll get a surprise and things aren't as bad as you were expecting. You'll be back on track next week.

Have a good one.

Well done Minne
How did you get on Smiles (need to figure out where I'm going wrong you've lost nearly double of what I've lost in the same time)
Feeling poorly today - sinus cold - would love a big cream bun or tray bake - but know it would taste rotten - so was good and didn't bother
Haven't got the water drinking sorted out yet
Hope it goes better you all of you on the scales next week and you each get down to sticker level

thanks ethne! i hope you feel better as the day goes on have to say i find it hard to drink just plain water myself, i always have to have some diluted juice in it

xx

Just popping in to say..

Well done Audrey and Minnie You too Smiles - its still a pound off and getting your 3 stone sticker is a major achievent. Minnie's right you ARE a great support to us and I appreciate all your kind words too The wedding's next Friday in Dundee. I was speaking to my friend last night and her plans are going well so it should be a good day. I also tried my outfit on last night and it feels fantastic on (it actually makes me look slimmer than I am).

Hope your feeling better soon Ethne. Sinusitis is a horrible thing. Have you tried Olbas oil?

Not looking forward to class tomorrow. If I stay the same then I'll be happy.

showgirl im sure you'll manage to hit that 2st mark no probs!!! i havent worn a dress or even a skirt in years either! but i have gone back to wearing small heels again after years of flats! have to say though i love when the summer comes in and i get to wear my flip flops for every occasion !!

Well done Smiles
I'm still in that rut and eating poorly - just not organised menu and food wise - doesn't help when DH turns his nose up at meals with the dreadded veggies in them - or decides he doesn't like something which he ate Ok last time it was made - MEN
I hope I can get back on track tomorrow with a few very very low check meals tomorrow and Sunday
Have a good weekend everyone
LOL

HAHA minnie!!! Girl after my own heart!! I am the flip flop queen!! I own 14 pairs at the last count! They are just so comfortable!! Going to florida next year which is another inspiration for this weight loss (wanna make sure i can fit in the dam rides lol) and i will be making full use of all my flip flops!!!
