Sorry, didn't give you an update earlier as my laptop has been out of action.

I am disappointed to say I started on 1st July at 13st 13lbs and 1 week later am still 13st 13lbs so not a good start

Had a really good day today, i agree with weighing in only once a week. My day will be Monday, monday will be my first weigh in. Jeans feel a bit looser though, so it's all good!!!!

Tomorrow,day 8 and one week on, I plan to weigh myself for the first time.
I`ve already explained that I only do it once a week hoping to see a reduction,whereas to keep jumping on and off the scales every day and hardly seeing them move and some times going the wrong way,can be disheartening.

I agree with a weekly WI but basically it`s down the each person "to do their own thing".

Yes, Im heartened by the fact I am wearing jeans that I last managed to squeeze into 3 years ago nearly - and they were TIGHT, I was scared to move too much in case they burst. They are now fitting loosely. I am going to think that I am losing fat but gaining muscle and that weighs more, hence the no loss.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've not been about much, no reason for it, I've lost my mojo a bit:(!

Morning all I haven't been around for a few days either. I've been so slack with exercise this week it'll be some kind of miracle if I've lost anything this week. I also agree with the once-a-week weigh ins, for me I always weigh in on a Monday, as its the start of a new working week. Although I have my fancy new scales now, so its going to take a lot of willpower not to weigh myself and get stats every time I go the loo! :rotfl:

Went food shopping and bought lots of healthy fruit and veggies, and popped some meringue nests in my basket as well. Had mine with greek yoghurt and strawberries ooh yummy. A nice guilt free treat. Thanks Tara for putting the idea in my head.

Not much else to report...I now have an idea of my body fat, muscle and BMI etc so I'm going to monitor it and see what happens. There is a handy little USB stick on my scales so you can transfer all the data to comp and get graphs and tables and all sorts..its quite fabulous. My OH is going to monitor himself as well as its less than 8 weeks now til we're off on hols and we've still got lots to do.

Better do some work now I think :rolleyes:

Have a lovely Friday all xxxxxxx

Congrats on the new scales coffeeholic!! It sounds very snazzy! I'm glad you enjoyed the meringues too, they are my new favourite thing.

Yesterday was A Very Bad Day for me, I ate so much rubbish. Am I ever going to stay on track?

This weekend I'm away to Galway with OH, lots of eating and drinking but lots of walking too. We will walk out to Salthill every day and around the city for miles so hopefully that will burn some of it off. I'm just happy to be off for a few days!!

I'll be around most of today, then not back till Tuesday so keep the seat warm for me over the weekend!

Have a nice healthy weekend all xo

To Lillys mum, hethmar and miss_nadine, I am so with you on the disappointment (although I have nobody to blame but myself ). But don't be disheartened! Let's all pick ourselves up and keep trying. We will get there! Even if you're not losing lbs, feeling your clothes looser is even better!

Chin up girls (that goes for everyone who is feeling a bit demotivated) xo

OK crazy weigh in story.
Wednesday night 8.30pm I weigh myself wearing just underwear, no shoes, 159lbs (11st 5lbs) as said earlier.
Last night I did the exact same again, same scales, same pattern of eating all day and it was 155lbs (11st 1lb) :eek:

I don't think ther is anything wrong with the scales, they are digital so not likely to go out of specification. I also don't beleive for a second I lost 4lbs of fat in 24 hours. The body does seem to vary quite a bit naturally for it's own reasons. Most likely there has been a steady drop towards the 155lb mark and something was going on Wednesday like some water rention or something, I don't know
