  • Dont worry eltan we've all been a bt cacy sounds of it! Can I have your vote please by PM as yours the only one left! Have assumed Ali not voting this month as started 3/4 way through? Month 1 not great for me - weighed myself & put on 1ib - prob due to eating complete rubbish due to allotment - need to be better organised with this or it will be long term disaster! BAd spending day but picked up some bricks off side of road so that will help!! How you all doing?

  • and the winner is ...Elantan! Congratulations! Can you pm people your address please. Mine wont be sent out for about a wk am affraid as i'm off to bros wedding next w/e & busy week in work but hope it will be worth the wait! Have had a busy day, getting compost bin etc & laying plastic on empty bit of plot! Found a guy to dig for me & he's done loads!! Paying him £50 but seeing as it would cost me 100 to hire a rotivator for a day seems a bargain & no work - came back from lunch etc & he's done loads! Also got a shed - a way from the plot but next to the loo so at least somewhere to store tools! Feel pooped again so am off to bed! This excercise lark is hard work!! Hope you all OK?

    Morning ff - assumed Aug was trial run so didn't need to vote! Also seemed to assume trial run as far as diet concerned - back to 13 stone.......:confused: . Didn't get graph last week - is that you or Mol?????

    Hope allotment is going well - looking forward to free organic veg boxes next year (don't worry, we'll collect!).

    BTW ring looks gorgeous - v v unusual.

    Hi Ladies

    Sorry, things are a bit rough for me at the moment and I didn't get round to posting the graph from last week. Here it is anyway. I'm not sure if I've got everyone's weights right though as it seemed to be a bit of a strange week.

    I think I may have to drop out of the weeble challenge though as there's just too much going on for me to deal with right now (my mum's still ill, work is still horrendous and I'm certainly not at my best). I'm really sorry ladies but I'm not really getting my head around this and I keep delaying on your graph which is no help to you all. If anyone want to take over the graph posting I'm more than happy to PM you with instructions on how to do it.

    Sorry again ladies. Hopefully I can rejoin you all when things start looking a bit brighter for me.

  • Dont worry Mol. People generally seem a bit low and I nearly posted to ask if people wanted to continue with it formally. I've been hopeless but allotment has kept me moving so hopefully it will come off like that! Have also been hot all the time (cold fan blowing & wondows open which is unheard of for me!) so either menopausal or metaoblism moving! Hopefully the last! I really dont mind if people just want to do a virtual challenge (ie no prizes!) and that we just encourage each other. Dont want it tobe a pressure at all...le me know what you think & Pm if you prefer!
    I'm feeling shattered as so much time at allotment & no time for owt else! Took night off tonight, slept for an hour & then tidied, changed sheets, put washing on etc. so feel much better for that! Of to bros wedding on Thurs - Mon so need to get ready for that too! Now just chilling with a G&T! Hugs all!

  • Hi guys,

    Thanks Mol for continuing with the graph and it looks great.

    Sorry to let you down guys but I'm going to have to pull out too - got a lot going on here that I can't go into at the moment - but I am still hoping to lose weight.

    I have bought elantan's pressie - so if you could PM me your address again el, that'd be great.

    Thanks all - hope you understand

  • hi all!
    Its not that I'm giving up Ali just very aware that people are feeling under pressure & dont want this to be an added one! We can still encourage each other but possibly just without prizes? Dont worry SS - I did sence a general feeling of "urgh" an best to take the pressure off for a bit! We can always start again later but thats not to say we cant still support each other Ali!! I think mine will drop off with allotment digging! Already done more excercise but doesentfeel like excercise! Alas the start up costs though! Never mind...Mol yes I have paid off that much; remember quite a bit came from my granny so that helped but the rest has been ebay stuff, paying loans off, car boots, quidco, spending less & was being good but this month has been dire!! Must get back on track next month but hard when going abroad as that always costs...need to get into routine again & that was thrown out by allotment but will sort it (need to cook again freezer nearly empty!) when I get back. Look at your sig tho - v. impressive & remember you didnt get a lump sum like me so even more so! Just keep plodding girls! We'll get there in the end!
