The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

That is how much I wnat to lose as well! When I started uni I put about a stone on , bit like I seem to be doing now.... and then managed to lose it all. Was happiest with myself then but since I have left uni is back on again arghh!

Doesn't help that OH was tyrying to shove a jaffa cake in my mouth when i was half asleep at 6.30am!

Ah if they're a 12 that's not too bad, I'm a 12 on top and 10 on the bottom. However I'm hoping to loose a stone (is that 12llbs or 14llbs anyone?!) by the end of September, so should be back to a 10 all around.

You'll be a wafer Dinah!! Going by pictures you look way skinny already, nevermind loosing 1 stone, you'd blow away in the wind!

Urgh, can't be bothered with work! I'm still slightly in holiday mood and keep thinking 'this time yesterday..' Have piles of invoices and lots of faxs to send off, I hate the fax machine! Need to click off Rightmove and get going.
Although I have found some flats in mine and OHs price range, shame it's going to be a year before we can move out! Still, living in hope we'll be able to get one of my Dads houses because that would only be £200pcm and I suppose Bircotes/Harworth isn't all that bad..

Just found out that the bed in our new room when we move is a kingsize, yay extra room! :j

I am not even sure why, it scared the life out of me though and I told him to go away, he told me that was the first time he has heard me turn down food, thanks darling haha.

Cinny - 200 pounds a month bargain! We will be paying that a week!

Flower - woo we could really do with a kingsize bed, OH's feet stick out the end of ours

Right girlies, group support time I think. If you want to join me in getting belatedly bikini fit:

"I ....... am going to make a concerted effort to loose 14llbs by September 30th 2009. Being of sound mind and slightly squishier than desired body I understand that this is only 1 1/4 llbs a week, and therefore I can still have the occassional treat, but chocolate is no longer acceptable as the first thing to pass my lips on a morning"

I'm going to measure my weight, waist, bust and hips this evening. And even more scary, I'll post those measurements, so I can see if/how I change to spur me on. I will only weigh myself once a week, on a Sunday morning from this point on, so my measurements aren't thrown off my drinking a large bottle of water etc!

I shall measure and weigh myself tonight also, I think I need the shock!

Dinah93

Lol I better go get a tape measure then. Have suggested to NIM he considers joining too. I love him as he is, BUT its not MSE to buy new trousers because you've gotten a little tubby for the existing ones, and you have a gym membership sat there already paid for!

Poolie

I Poolie am going to make a concerted effort to put on weight as OH keeps moaning at me. Being of sound mind and not so squishier than desired by OH, and therefore I will be having treats. Chocolate shall be one thing passing my lips were possible.

Would be for a 2/3 bedroomed house too! Fab! but it's Bircotes. And I might get shot. Just been looking more into the 1 bedroomed flat for £300pcm, i've been eyeing it for ages I know we'd be able to get them down a tad more per month. No chance of it being there when me and OH are ready to move out though.. still, would it be cheeky to go have a viewing?


You girls are crazy! But I'll give it a whirl too:

I'll measure myself but no way am I posting! I'll post my weight weekly though, atm I'm 10st 1lb. I'm just thankful my mum and dad are on diets so there's no chocolate in the house!

Flower - Ooo, Kingsized!! Will that mean going bedding shopping?!.. or is that kind of against the point of moving in with your OHs parents.

Go Poolie!
For every chocolate muffin and kitkat we turn down, I expect you to eat one. I suspect I'll be turning down my usual 2 kitkats and 1 Taxi bar at my Grandparents tonight, so it might be an idea to go find a corner shop...
