    Thanks BB,

    At least you know you've been able to get the weight off in the past, so you'll be able to do it again. Maintenance will be the next step.
    unfortunately 5 stone off is nowhere near maintenance for me :o It would be a good start if I could do it again though....

    Have put 3lb on, that might be due to me eating like a pig!
    But, hoping with the exercise regime that it'll come off .....going to do shred in a minute.

    I've never been able to lose weight, this is my first successful attempt.

    DH told me today that I nolonger looked pregnant, which I think was a compliment :rotfl:. Considering DS is 11 years old, it was a long time in coming. Tummy is looking very flat though, thanks to a lot of Shred abwork :).

    How long have you been married Lou? I've been married 18 years :eek:.

    We have been married for 13 years but have been together for 22. We sort of did everything back to front :o Bought a house, had kids and then got married.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Another great week, BB, well done, and well deserved!

  • BB what an amazing weight-loss you've had! 19lb in 2 weeks is fantastic :j

    Well after blowing up like a balloon at the end of last week I've now deflated :rotfl:and have now lost 1lb from last week's weight. I was so-o-o surprised and pleased to see the scales today as I haven't seen that weight for quite a time.

    Morning Claw back money, I am glad you've deflated. That happens to me sometimes and I usually put it down to too many unrefined carbs or TOTM. Congratulations on your weight loss.

    Shredding - 'The 30 Day Shred' is a DVD by Jillian Michaels from 'The Biggest Loser' TV show. It is 20 minutes of intense exercise that is very good for increasing fitness levels and strengthening muscles. Not for the faint hearted! How do you find it Elfen?

    Have to say I can't see I'd ever 'shred' - it sounds really intense _pale_

    Not sure how I feel Lou. Not much different to be honest but I still have another 10 pounds to go before I get to what I was last October. I won't feel I'm making 'progress' until I get to there. After that, I might start trying on a few of my clothes to see if anything tight fits better.
