Hello my dears!

plzhelpmesave, I am totally with you hun! (((hugs))) I have had rather a bad weekend too, have eaten too much and only exercise was 1.5 hour's (not v. fast) walking yesterday. :eek: I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow! This weight loss lark is difficult to sustain in a relationship, we are real foodies so my OH doesn't really 'get it' and I am not being single minded enough about it to insist that he changes his cooking habits too.

Oh well, another week starts tomorrow and I will be back at the gym and eating really healthily. I was great during the week, surely the weekend can't undo all that eh! Five good days versus two bad! There are still 6 weeks or so till my hols, and I may even lose half a stone in March if I really put my mind to it, we shall see!! Thanks to all who posted encouraging words, they are helping! :A

tomterm, I guess the same thing is happening to me... I am getting so impatient now though, been at the gym and eating better for 2 months now and was hoping to see some results on the scales! I guess if I carry on I will probably see results but if I give up I will definitely just get fatter. So I need to carry on.

ailuro, that Toblerone thing sounds mental!!!

Welcome to the newbies and here's to a good week for all of us (come on, we can do it). :j :j :j :j :j :j

Evening all. I've been bad this weekend as well. Must be something in the air! I'm getting very stressy too, wondering if hormones are kicking in for totm, mind it's not due till a week on Tues!!!! But my body works in very mysterious ways!lol
Now off to bed, just finished my session plan for my observation tomorrow, forgot to do it!
I am starting a fresh tomorrow, like lots of you lovely peeps, I can do it, I know I can.
Good luck for the weigh ins tomorrow, and to everyone else who needs it.

Hey all
Just a quicky before going to bed and waking up renewed and refreshed - hopefully!

Saw something in a magazine - think it was glamour?? - about mid-march being the time most people give up on the excercise resolutions they made in the new year - so that must be why I've had a bad week then! shhhh, i know it's not mid march yet!

Have TOTM coming back to visit in the next few days - which now makes me realise why i've been craving crap and shovelling it down!! Will also make me want to not excercise - so will need extra motivation guys.

Tara - thank for your post - made me feel better xxx

plzhelpmesave - I never knew that about mid March, although it makes sense. It's easy to be all motivated when weight loss articles and progs are all around you e.g. in January! But then it tails off a bit. Thank goodness for this thread! Dont overdo the exercise when it's TOTM, just walking etc will do you good xo

Leothecat, how did the run go yesterday???

I am 61.1kg this morning, still 0.7kg heavier than on 1 March but at least it's started to go down a little again! I cheated on Lent and ate some chocolate last night... am so ashamed!!!

Well my weight loss for this week is ............................... nothing! absolutely nada! Mind you I put no weight ON either so I suppose that is good AND I have been taking my pain medication so actually, over all I am not too unhappy!

I just spotted this thread and would like to take part. I have lost 4 pounds so far this month, so another 3 to target.

Hope everyone else is doing well
