Hi guys, hope everyone's keeping well:D

Well i managed to lose 1 3/4 lb this week so am very happy, especially as i felt so demotivated last week:j

I've been craving dominos pizza and chips all week:eek: so have decided to treat myself once i get rid of my first stone. Only 1 3/4 lbs to go:j

I'll try and pop in later in the week to catch up on posts when i have more free time. Later peeps x

Afternoon all!!

haven't time to reply to you all individually - as I'm a busy wee bee in work this morning!!

an STS for me this week - which to be honest - I'm totally delighted with!! :T With the amount I drank/ate over the weekend I'm just delighted I didn't put anything on!!

Need to get myself sorted though - I'm still suffering a 2 day hangover today - so have been totally starving all day - I'll just need to try make sure I only eat good food!! :rolleyes:

Well done claire and crapwithmoney!!! :beer: Sorry to hear about your hangover crapwithmoney, hope you feel better soon.

Well, I went to the gym at lunchtime (even though I was tired)... 24 minutes doing the hill walking burned 300 calories! Well impressed!! OH is making 'something nice' for dinner, which is bound to involve lots of calories, argh. I will have a small portion if it's something fattening and then go for a walk afterwards to burn it off, I'm so determined to do well for these last 8 days of March!!

It's so quiet on here today...

I dragged my sorry bum off for a walk after dinner, I feel so much better now. Although it was a very stodgy moussaka, burp! I really needed the walk.

Sorry I haven't posted for a while! So easily side tracked with every day life like most others I think.

Well done to everyone. I must say Tara747, you seem much more active than me! Good on you.

I have been keeping quite active although have slipped on a few days My weight is 10st 8lbs now so I have lost 6lbs so far but am feeling the urge to eat lots, arrrrrrgh!! Each day is a battle with my little devil on one shoulder saying 'go one, eat it' and the angel on my other shoulder saying 'don't do it'!! lol

Just hope I can keep up the good work and succeed at this goal as it's my first time doing it on here

Keep up the good work everyone. The sun is shining so it's a great opportunity to get out and burn off some calories

Well looks like a half pound gain over the week - but seeing as mid week I was half a stone up then I can just about cope with this - at some point I need to see the pain clinic again (in May) and I think I need to ask to see a dietician as well - losing weight will help the pain so I hope they will go for it and help me out here.

Morning all!!

Checking in after the weekly weigh in!

Have lost a pound this week, which is good, as I did eat ALOT at the weekend! lol

I am down to 13st7, still a long way to go!!

I have lost 5 pounds this mth, need to lose another 2 by next week to beat my half a stone challenge, I think it can be done if I am a good girl this week! :rotfl:

Hope everyone is keeping on track? keep it up peeps!

Bye for now

Dragon, good for you. I hope the dietician will sort you out. Insist on seeing one (you need to be assertive with doctors I find). :A

icecubequeen, big congrats on the 1lb loss and the 5lbs to date in March, that is great!! :j

stacyl1977, well done on the 6lb loss, fantastic progress! You may be having a few slip ups but the overall trend is down, well done you. Yes, I am really trying to get properly active again as I used to be very fit and have just let it slip (and that's how the weight gain happened). It's mostly just walking with some running thrown in, and a little bit of toning/resistance exercise. I'm so glad I started back in dreary wet January, as I am now starting to see the effects in time for spring and hols! This morning, I tried on a dress I intend to wear to this upcoming wedding and it's actually loose-ish on me (it was tight a couple of months ago)! I was so happy. My eating habits have got a bit better but I have a lot of room for improvement, esp. on portion sizes and snacking!

I'm going to step up my gym efforts this week since the weather is bad, I'm going back today for some more hill walking. I'm so motivated at the minute and want to make the most of it. Let's see how long it lasts! :rotfl:

Here's to a good day for all of us. We can do it!

Hi, can I tag on the end of this month and start properly in april, not got too much to lose, about a stone-stone and a half but tried everything n getting quite down about it. Started running with a work colleage to train for 10k so hopefully that will help but need to get my eating sorted.
