Hi Angela, Lots of loose tops in M&S. Have to admit I've been tempted by a couple to cover my tummy which keeps expanding. Got a lovely one in the charity shop last year which I seem to wear all the time now. Still trying to cut down with varying success. Aiming to slowly increase my non-spend days.

Hi all

I bought another book today and was under pressure because I couldn't find any I wanted but knew I couldn't leave the shop without one. I guess it's because of the family situation that's stressful otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with it. That probably sounds a bit mad to some people. But I don't eat chocolate so can't have that for comfort.

I'm still excercising and walking. CL are you still running?

VNMS - have you had a NSD today?

i am a bit down... 1 month up and still i am not looking like i lost massive weight.. i know i lost inches but for some reason it is not enough for me.... i feel dissapointed.
MY body is not burning fat as it should or i want it to.
i dont think i will be buying anything apart from some black sandals that i need in two weeks i have to go to an important event and got my outfit but no shoes.

Hi morocha,

Join the club when it comes to weight loss

I seem to go down a bit then get stuck and go back up, no matter how much I excercise. I think the key may be not to give up. In the past I used to get really enthusiastic then avoid doing anything if I could get away with it. Consistency is needed.

So don't give up now you're month is finished.

Hi all,

Yep Anglea, I'm still jogging every couple of days I can do about 30 minutes now without stopping. I've no idea if it is contributing to the weight loss, but I definitely feel better in myself.

Today I took another pair of brand new jeans out from the depths of my wardrobe... they're a small size 14 so I'm amazed that they fit. They were a little tight on the hips when I first put them on, but I wore them today and they have slackened off a bit.

So yeah... not much to report here. I haven't bought any clothes. I did buy a new pair of earphones as my old ones broke, but that's about it!

NG: sorry to hear you were ill on your birthday, that must have been rubbish Are you going shopping tomorrow?

morocha: keep trying with the weight loss. I honestly had the same problem for months, I'd lose 1lb and then gain it back the following week, but for some reason it's coming off and staying off now.

Anglea

NGlady - I wondered what you'd been doing this week. Sorry to hear you were poorly for your birthday.

I wonder if your next b/f will be Mr Distance or Mr Local. I think we ought to start betting on it LOL

Hope you have a great time tomorrow.

NGlady
