Good morning everyone...well, what's left of it, managed to get a long lie this morning......

Well done Flick on the 2lbs off, really pleased for you, here's to another great week...

Miss Broxi, well done on going to body pump, my sister loves it and says it is hard work, but well worth it....

CC - well done on a PEP perfect Saturday, you must be rubbing off on me cos I had one too, and even had a couple of COUNTED vodkas and diet lemonade......

Megygogs, glad you're enjoying your weekend, and well done for logging in regardless!!

TBird Audrey, well done you, your hard work is paying off, amazing what it does for self confidence.

Kop Queen - hope you have caught up on your sleep, and a big applause for your good choice over the chocolate!!!

I will be going to Curves tomorrow afternoon, aiming for 4 sessions again this week....

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Afternoon everyone

Have had a very lazy day today done one load of washing, put it up on the pulley, done the neeps, carrots and tatties for our burns supper, (haggis bubbling away) and drunk umpteen cups of Rooibos tea whilst on here

Curves tomorrow, so will work hard

Hope you've all had a good Sunday

Good to see that everyone is having a good PEP weekend. It has been quite quiet here though but then it is the weekend and people are busy enjoying themselves!!

I have been good today. I had my friend around for tea tonight and that is normally when my eating goes out the window but I had planned for it and got through it painfree. I even managed to have my 'must have' bag of maltesers when watching Danicing on Ice (it's an addition!). All I need to do now is keep out of the kitchen for the rest of the night!!

Well done to MB for making body pump, CC for being PEP perfect and a huge to Flick for the 2lbs off. Collectively we acheive so much!!

Hope you have all had a good weekend and are ready for the week ahead.

Morning all
Great loss Laura
FGSlim - you know where you went wrong (we always do know were we went wrong - but its hard to fix the problem ) - but work on it and you'll have those lbs off soon
Looks like many of you managed a good weekend - I'm 99% sure that I've used up my savings and a bit more besides - haven't filled in my chart yet to see the extent of the damage - the scales will tell tonight probably
Didn't manage to get to the gym but did buy a nice new handbag whilst out
Have a good day and I'll catch up with you tonight

EDIT: filled in my chart so it looks like I'm only 6 checks over - might be OK at the scales - time will tell

OH and it looks like my brothers wedding will be Feb '10 so I know what I've got to aim for - got to get this b****y head screwed on right

Good Morning all , well done everyone on those losses,keep up the good work

I had a good sat went out in Edin sat evening and food wise i was okay, then came sunday and out again in Edin sunday night and my food plan went out the window so pretty rubbish day for me sunday but i have drawn a line under it and starting a fresh.

It is freezing here and had to scrape my window on the car this morning

Had a few late nights over the weekend and feeling it today now i am back at work.

Hope everyone has a good day and catch up later

Good Moro!

Just a quick wee message (meant to be working!). I had a good(ish) weekend - I am never PEP perfect but I try to be near as I can. I am on the countdown to my birthday and the celebrations around it - and it is not even a 'special' one!! I start my 'destruction' on Wednesday night - thank goodness I weigh on a wednesday morning! I will recommence pepping at Sunday teatime - I hate to think of the damage I will do!! Oh well - we are only human!!

What about you guys? How was your weekend and what plans have you for the week ahead?

Hope you all have a great day!

J xx

Morning all

Just back from the gym, PEP head back on after it's day off yestarday. Don't think I did too much damage yestarday though compared to what I normall do.

Hope you all have a good day, good luck to everyone who get weighed today and I hope you get the result you deserve.

Anyways best get on catch you all later.

Wooowhooo

Just signed up for the Race for Life on Sunday 17th May in Perth. Anyone else fancy doing it?
Its a good way to try and stay on track with the exercise.

Have put a link at the bottom of my signature incase anyone wants to sponsor me. Hope you don't think thats cheeky.

I have been stopped in my tracks ... totm ... 3 day early!! I was hoping that it would stay away until after I had been weighed! But no ... it has a mind of it's own! The bright side - if there is every one with totm - is it may have cleared up for my weekend away and I have had a really good pepping week so I might still get a weight loss and then an okay one next week too (after stuffing my face) when all the excess fluid is gone. What do we think Peoples?

J xx

Afternoon Peeps

We went to a new toddlers group this morning, it was really good, wee sing along session with musical instuments for the kiddies, he got a wee snack and I got a coffee (resisted the biccies), came home had lunch and went to they gym evern though my legs are still sore from BP on Sat Hope I dont suffer even more tomorrow!

Well done your registration for the Race for Life Flick, I did it 2 years ago in Glasgow - last year I was a bit heavily pregnant

Like you I would like to work up to the Moonwalk but I would probably die trying this year lol.

Jenny - I dont make any concessions for TOTM (mine came Sat) I think for me the effects differ so much every month, I just accept whatever the scales tell me.

Good luck getting back into it FGS and WB, make this a really good week.

Mmmm that coffee cake sounded fab Ethne, hope your checks are kind to you at WI tomorrow- good luck xxx

Hello,

I'm sneaking back on... didn't have a good weekend... There were crisps, chocolate, vodka, pizza and all sort of rubbish . My pep head has gone awol and all I want to do is eat rubbish and hide under the duvet. It took me all my time to get up and go to work today... dunno what is wrong with me?!? I'm all teary too and I'm not pmted or anything...

I've not been too bad today but still been picky and I've had biscuits which I rarely do at work. I didn't go out for a walk at lunchtime as I've got to walk past the shop and I can hear the chocolate beckoning...

I've put on 1.5lbs this week too. So anoyed with myself but I don't seem to be able to snap out of it... dunno if I need a kick or a hug...

Anyway, how is everyone else? Well done on the losses for this week!

Jenny, you might be okay? Think it will depend how quickly you gain and loose fluid for totm and how good you manage to be over you birthday weekend... Have a nice weekend away though!

Flick, I don't think you are being cheeky at all! Good luck with the training

I better go and fill in the chart now and fill in my eats for today... hope I'll find my pep head somewhere soon!

Take care xx

Back from WI - and chuffed with a loss - the 2.5lbs I put on last week had gone -
Now it's just a battle to get these yo yoing 7 lbs off and hopefully get the rest of the weight shifting off on a regular basis - I'm so so sick of these 7lbs they have been boomaranging around for the last 3+ months - I am however pleased that I'm still fighting on and haven't given up - a member at class tonight, who came back last week - 1st time since October 08 - was telling me that as she'd been doing the same off on off on she'd decided to save pennies and rejoin after the holidays, birthdays etc - what a shock she got on the scales last week - 2 st on in 3 months - dear only know's where I would be if I'd given up - it doesn't bear thinking about
Are any of the rest of you on the 'plateau'? - how have you slipped off it into the loosing slopes again?
Flick - good luck with the 'race for life' keep us up to date with your progress in getting fit for the challenge
Oh - I see there is a PM for me - off to check it out now and update my charts
Have a good night

Wow LF you must be really pleased ... well done!!

Elle, 1.5lbs is not that bad! Don't stress about it - we all have weekends when we go crazy! I am getting my excuses in already for the weekend ahead

Well done MB for avoiding the biscuits - my willpower would not have been so strong today!

How has everyone else been?



J x

never done one but always wanted to so will see whats involved well wi tomorrow for me after my wk end away dear knows what it will show meg xx

Good Luck Megygogs and everyone else who has WI tomorrow.

xx

Morning all!

Flying visits just now as I get to grips with this working malarky again!!!!! I have had 3 pep perfect days and feel gr8 for it. Long may this continue.

Have a good day everyone and good luck to all at the scales

Morning
Here's hoping I have another good week this week and finally break through the 'barrier'
I hope all goes well for those facing the scales today and look forward to seeing what the Musketeers total is at the end of the week - we should break through the 70lb zone (all being well) - how about we work on getting to the 100lb+ accumulated total at the end of the 10 weeks - or is that being too optimistic
Have a good day
Ethne

Good morning all how are we today, its wet and miserable here

wi and sts never mind its totm and i did have a rubbish day sunday so fresh start from now also got my pep book out looking through it again. I have had a notion for toastie and may have a bit too many ( although they were all counted)so the bread it getting cut back too

Husband got the punch bag down yesterday and i started hitting it a minute at a a time intervals so heres to a new exercise, and upping my cardiovascular but boy its hard

CC well done on the pep perfect days keep up the good work

Good luck everyone who wi in today the losses are brilliant. keep it up

Aiming to save checks this week as i have the football in glasgow on Sat and always go to asda for breakfast/lunch , so please feel free to check my food chart and comment if i stray

Good Morning,

Just a wee message to wish everyone luck that are going to WI today (Stephie/Megygogs) and a big to TWB for sts even with totm!

LF - I think 100lbs for us all in 10 weeks is achievable - I just hope I can pull my weight (so to speak)! I just had a look at the total is nearly hitting 70!

Lobby - If you are about today, PM me.

Have a great day everyone - I will warn you tho - I am tired today which means I am HUNGRY today!!

Jen xx

Morning All

Well done on those losses girls, we are doing fabby - I totally think 100lbs is achievable. Lets do it!!!

There are a few strays though, have Maz, Linzi and Donald gone AWOL?

My legs are feeling much better today, think it was the right thing to go to the gym yesterday - still undecided if it will be Body Pump or the gym tomorrow - will see how I feel.

Out visiting friends today so not sure what lunch will be, she is supposed to be doing WW so hopefully wont be too bad.

Good luck at WI to those facing the scales today xxx

Hellllllllllooooooooooooo (echo, tumbleweed.........)

Is there anyone there ?????????????????

Hello MB, I am here, just filling out my food diary. Having a great week so far, so full of energy when I pep properly!! Heading off to Curves when it opens at 4pm......

Hello!

I have had a good day (my halo is gripping me) and I have been walking in my lunch again. My trousers were feeling bigger yesterday but they are back to tight! I weigh tomorrow so I should just wait and see what the scales say. I have ALWAYS weighed in the house but I got a friend to hide them last week so this is the first time EVER I am going 'blind' to the scales. I am hoping for a loss but I would accept a sts as it is totm.

Hope you have all had a good day and look forward to hearing from you - we are getting lonely!!

Jen xx

Evening

Hope you are all having a good day. I have been off today (well kin of) and been for a haircut and had hubby finish off decorating the hall. Will get him to make a start on the living room next.

So far so good for me PEPwise. Off now to make tea chicken and mushroom pasta (18cx).

Catch you all later

Morning all

Hope you are all raring for another PEP perfect day.

After a wee discussion with Miss B last night I am going to try something different for tea tonight- a bacon and mushroom omlette with beans, so watch this space. Those of you who have got to know me on the forum will know I eat the same thing all the time and NEVER try anything new.
So tonights the first!!!!
Not going to make the gym today as I have alot on at work but I will get 45mins on the wii fit tonight to try and help compensate a wee bit.

Good luck anyone getting weighed today, remember to let us know how you get on,

Catch you all later
Laura xxxx

Good Morning all how are we all doing this morning.Well i went to my bed last night at 8.20pm and didn't wake up until 7am this morning so i must have been needing a good sleep and feel quite refreshed and feeling positive. It goes to show if you get a good sleep what a different frame of mind your in as before i was knackered and yucky and wanted to eat rubbish had a good day yesterday and managed to save checks for the footie on sat although we have decided to take our own food rather than eating out so i may not need to have extra checks after all

Megs well done on the loss thats brilliant keep up the good work

The combined weight loss is unbelievable and everyone is doing great i think we will break the 100lb target

Heres to a good day everyone

Im looking for people to talk to on msn and add to my contacts, if anyone is interested feel free to send me your addy

Good Morning Ladies,

First of all - I have been looking at the weight loss chart and C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S MB and Shona!!! You both are cutting through the weight at an astonishing rate!! You are amazing!!

Well, I lost 2lbs this week - I am quite please with that as it is totm and I am very bloated.

Good luck to anyone else weighing today.

How is everyone else getting on - are we having a good week??

Jen xx

Morning All

Thanks Jenny, really pleased with the start I've mad, just need to keep it up...lol. 2lbs is spot on Jenny, well done.

Well done on trying something new Flick, I really hope you enjoy it, it will encourage you to try more if you do....will watch the boards with interest to hear the verdict.

Paula have a fab holiday, feel free to bring back the sunshine.

Lorraine I have PM'd you.

Mother and Baby group today then I need to decide whether to go to the gym at 4.45 when Russ comes in or Body Pump at 6.00 - I am so indecisive about the little stuff................

Have a good day everyone xxx

Hi everyone -
Great loss Jenny Beebop
Ms B is right Laura - it's good to change what your eating - I'm hoping that some changes and bringing lunches to work will help me
I've been making up boxes of sugar free jelly with a tub of pineapple chunks and low fat fom frais and been bringing them in to ward off the sweet tooth (not today unfortunately) - serving up reduced portions for dinner at night and bringing in the left overs for lunch at work
I'm also planning to try some new check free (or almost check free soups) - sent some recipies to Ms B yesterday

• celery and pear
• courgette and brie
• spicy parsnip
• spicy pepper and sweetcorn

Ok same basic thing soup but a big change in taste and it prevents the idea of soup becoming boring - so next week I think there will be a few soup and salad rolls logged on my sheet
I've also been thinking of doing some baking - now I've been brought up in a house where when you bake, YOU BAKE - its never been one sponge cake its been a large batch session - so considering I want to get the lbs off I haven't baked for ages - well at my pals last week an idea took hold
if I do a large batch baking session I'll be cutting the loaf cakes up into slices and freezing them that way there is no need to buy biscuits in for DH or visitors - I can lift out a single slice or a few as required and restrict what's around 'ready to eat' - this may or may not work wholly but time will tell - just need to sort out ingredients and check my baking tins etc - probably not this weekend but maybe next
this will either work or be a disaster

Wow everyone is doing brilliantly!

Well done on all the losses and good luck for those still to weigh in this week.

I'm back peping and feeling much more positive... going to be pep perfect for the rest of the week and see if I can claw back a loss after my rubbisness and as there is a match on tonight I'm going to walk down into town to meet my boyfriend so we can make a quick get-a-way home before we can't get parked at home. I'm going to have a wee session on the wii fit too while dinner is cooking - every little bit helps...

Ethne, your soup ideas sound lovely. I might need you to send me the spicy pepper and sweetcorn recipe if you don't mind

I've just nipped on quickly in my teabreak so I better go and get on with some work now...

Take care xx

Hello!

I have had an 'okay' day! Tonight the eat-fest begins!! I am going to my Mum's for a pre-birthday tea (Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, I have asked for heavy on the neeps) and then Monster Mash tomorrow (I hope that I ask for just one sausage!!) and then away to London for the weekend Friday. I am going to try and behave during the day and also stay on the vodka instead of the wine - I think damage limitation is the way I am going to play it!

Great to see you here Looby! Send me a message if you want to chat!

Hope you all have a pep-tastic evening and hope to hear more from you all soon - I miss my little musketeers!!

Jen xx

I've had a 'bad day' - indulged in a few too many sweets at work then had sausage, egg and chips for dinner - need to check the how bad I've been and log it into the chart
I've got NO willpower at present and just blow hot air sometimes - really need to pull my socks up
