x-raph Even though I am away from sat for a week please don't take me off the chart, will be browsing and hopefully putting in my weight etc from my mum's so please don't move me off:D

Just to let everyone know, the only people I delete from the chart are those who haven't posted for a month.
People who haven't posted a WI for a week are hidden on the chart on Wed, but are still on it. I will only delete/move people when asked

Hello all,
I've been a bit of a busy bee, and forgot to post my STS yesterday, but no worries, I'll remember next week.

I'll add you in

Raph: Try and jog for a mile first off? I know for a fact i cant even do half of one! Im just watching the biggest loser, and they ran to this gate and back, and im thinking i couldnt even do that! ha. I think i need to start walking, and then build up to a run

You know what...I was supposed to write that it's best to walk the route first before running...but I forgot

Food has been hit & miss, partly down to me not planning properly, and partly being naughty.

I think I'm eating out of boredom this week, as the weather has been so gloomy and wet that I've been stuck inside more. When I'm outside doing stuff, I don't think to eat. My own worst enemy, and doing housework just doesn't do trick.

According to weight watchers you are supposed to wait for 20mins to decided if you are hungry or just thirsty or bored, I never did that and my downfall was 'passing the time with food', like you if I am out and about then the food issue is not so strong, if I have a slow sedentry day I think about it, see it on the tele and it becomes an obsession but over the years I have beaten it in various ways, when I feel it coming on I get up do the wii or at least used to, talk to someone on the phone, have a bath, read, do nails, gardening, concentrate on some ebay stuff, anything that takes the focus somewhere else, it is an art, a super hard art to learn but I like to be in control more now than the food in control of me so I do not let it beat me, that planning, my meals are always laid out each day in the kitchen and the day before end of meal the next day is already planned, there is never anything here that can take me off course (I really fancied a bacon sarnie the other day, there was no bacon and no nice bread, buy the kids what I call the horrible bread shops own they like it though I don't and wouldn't waste calories on it!!:rolleyes:) so that was the end of wanting a bacon sarnie.
See, I find now if I give in and start I am not very good at stopping, my mouth opens and shovel it in I do:rotfl:but I can't if there is nothing here and I know it going to make me feel bad so don't bother.

I had a drifter bar the other day having not had one for ages and saw the packet as 113 calories, fine, lovely then realised it was 113 per piece, not happy:rotfl:

If all else fails there is always a bowl of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, sliced peppers and from the garden my own salad leaves which taste all the nicer because I grew them :Dto munch on or sugar free jelly is made up into bowls a few days worth at a time with a bit of fruit on lovely:D before it would have been sausage rolls, pastry, chicken pies, chicken slices, endless crisps, mountains of pasta,fried chips, chip shop fish,battered sausages, pizzas, take aways always enough for 4 and there is the 2 of us, huge jacket potatoes, enough rice to feed a family of 6:rolleyes:

i toitally get the swapping thing but i can't bear to do it! some very interesting sounding authors there that I'm off to google. lol at the georgette heyer granny, i rather like them too. interesting how many 'kid's books' come up. i'm a big fan of philip pullman in that respect, not just his dark materials but the sally lockhart mysteries are just fantastic. The tv adaptations were pretty good too, billie piper was exactly how i though sally would be. and the costumes! makes me want to go out and buy a bustle.

Chart time!!

SOTW is joint again this week!! 2lbs loss each for Beanielou and Scottish Lass! :j:j

Scottish Lass also is the first to reach the 5lb loss target this month :T
Well done everyone

:T:T

Well done everyone. I lost t'internet connection so didnt post.

3.8lb loss

yaaaaay. I've been SOOOOOO good and haven't even had an alcoholic beverage in 3 weeks, but I usually find myself fall off the wagon the week before TOTM or during, would be a shame to let it all go to waste!

I would like to lose a further 1 1/2 stone......

Struggling at the moment as I have been out of work for 3 months now and starting to think I'll never work again.

:sad: I know how you feel. I lost my job on the 13th of November last year, I applied for over 70 jobs since then & have only now finally got one! I start at the end of the month, which makes it 7 & a half months since I lost my last job. :shocked:
Its SO easy to get down & upset (especially when you check your bank account!!) I spent so many days crying & wondering why I wasn't even getting a reply from companies, never mind an interview or a job.
After losing my job I put on about 2 stone!!!! :eek: Partly through being depressed & upset & partly through boredom. I've shifted a few pounds, but hopefully the rest'll take a hike soon too! :cheesy:
Because I was so down I stopped going out & doing things with my friends as I felt so miserable & just couldn't work up the energy to do it. Sitting in the house watching tele is much easier. Which really just made me feel worse everytime I thought about my wasted days sitting here. :sad:
BUT you just have to keep telling yourself that there's worse people out there. Thats what got me through some of the bad days. I have a roof over my head, food on the table (clearly too much of it, judging by the weight gain! :rotfl:) & good friends who were there for me, even when I didn't want them to be! :embarasse
Now that the summers here (:rolleyes:), try & enjoy it. There's no good time to be unemployed, but the summer times the best time to not have to sit in a stuffy office! :cool2:

Oh, and big CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss this week! :j:j:j:j:j

i just turned down a kfc . . . . . . . .

feeling sooooooooooooooo virtuous right now!

I had KFC first time in absolute ages and OH and I ended up giving it to the kids, hated it slimy fatty yucky chips and fat dripping off the KFC skin, you are not missing out on anything nice that is for sure and the cals are astronomical;)

sary did you see BBC3 last night at 10pm the diet myths, they said what I said about the detox diets, the maple syrup lemon diet, the cabbage diet, atkins,yes you loose 9lb in 10 days like the lady did but after that it all goes back on and more because the body is not used to it, as soon as you eat normally it goes on plus more, it never said anything in the hour long show that no one knew but they listed them all and went through them, surprised they put WW in such a bad light:rolleyes:

THANK YOU for your message and a big WELL DONE on finding something, you must be so pleased! :T:T

There definately are people worse off and at least I have my health, and I don't have a family to support at the same time, or a mortgage to pay. Although I have rent to pay and have had no assistance from the council, so getting further and further into debt. Also due a tax rebate, but suprise suprise its taking forever to see a penny of that too.

I don't think it would have affected me so bad had I not got back from an amazing 2 year round the world trip in Sep, and pretty much regretted coming back every day since. I left a great job in NZ but really picked the wrong time to come home. I know I am lucky I had that experience, but talk about an anti-climax. :rolleyes:

It is just frustrating and most of the time I have been able to think positive and keep a smile on my face, but I do have my moments.

I missed out on a job last week, and there were only two of us being interviewed, because I had 'too much experience and too bubbly' apparently. So gutted, you can't win. Where's that 'banging head against a brick wall' smiley? :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

Anyway, well done on your new job, what is it doing? Bring on pay-day hey?

Thanks again for your message & sorry for the rant xx

Finally got round to weighing in 2lb loss for me this week :j (or week and a half). Hopefully this is the kick start i needed after the huge losses over the past few months, then the staying the same. Due to weigh in again on sunday/monday. but I know I will be disappointed, even though this is friday lol.
