Blue Congratulations on your weight loss. a massive 8st 1lb total is absolutely brilliant:j:j:T thats a person!! Well Done.

Giggles its sometimes very hard to resist so a big well done to you, I bet you felt so much better for not giving in.

Another 1.1/2lbs off for me this week :j really happy with that

I swear its cos I write everything down it makes me have a good week.

I was in Mr M's the other day and saw a couple near the cakes he was reading our the protien, fat and fibre and she was on the ww calculator and saying "Oh no we can't have that, I just won't be able to resist" so poor chap wasn't getting any cake that day!! :rotfl:

Loss this week - -1lbs
Loss since June 2011 - 8st

Oh dear. I really need to start writing stuff down too flourgirl. Will try my best and see how things go.

On the exercise front Giggles - well I have been managing about three times week (has been 2 aerobic classes and 1 gym). Have been enjoying the aerobics even though im pretty useless at some of it. I can be in sync with others and then something just flips in my brain and ive lost the plot :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope you're all having a good week

Does that mean I can sneak back in then....

:wave: Hello :wave:

Rellies have gone back to Oz. Stomach bug has finally gone (fingers crossed it stays away because OH has just phoned to say he's now got it again - if he gives me it back I'm not going to be a happy Pep!!)

OK deep breath .... I have finally relented and rejoined the gym... have been trying to avoid it but it's the only thing that's gonna kick start me. It is very MSE though - £16.99 a month and that includes all their classes and it's open 24/7/365 - yep it's even open on Christmas Day (watch me go that day... not!) Been twice this week so far :A Got a shiny new smart phone and downloaded a WW type app to keep me on the straight and narrow and discovered that although I think I'm doing well, my evening meal is letting me down badly - portion control has no control

So long story short - I'm back in the fold if you'll have me

Blue :T:T Way to go girl - size 16 denims :T:T:T:T

Update time for me Finally dragged myself back to a meeting!

Total Loss Before WI: 17
Loss this week: 3.5lbs
New Total Loss: 20.5

And I hit my 10% weight loss at WWs and am now the proud owner of the 10% keyring . Although I must point out I havent been in 3 months so that loss isnt a week worth of loss! So thats one of wishes for October reached. Hoping I can loose half a pound next week to hit to stone and half milestone too. Although I have a halloween party to go to Saturday night so that is worrying me a little.

Hope is everyone else getting on with their October wishlist?

Blue_Eyed- Thats great that you are managing three times a week. Ah goes matter if you are in sync or not at aerobics as long as you are moving, its an exercise class not a dance class .

peppop - Welcome back . And of course we will have you. Hope you dont get the stomach bug back! Your gym sounds good, wonder if anyone actually does go on christmas day!? Maybe its the Dads escaping the hyper kids for an hour or so whilst Mum puts the dinner on hahaha

Great to have you back with us Pep. Wow - your gym sounds amazing. I thought I had a good deal. I pay £22.50 month (gp ref concession) which I thought was pretty good.

You've done really well Giggles to have had a loss even though you haven't been to your meetings. Hope you manage at least lb this week. Well done with your October wish. :T

Well I think I just need the biggest kick up the bum going. I am totally fed up with myself atm and just can't seem to get the willpower back that I used to have. I start off with good intentions and then things go off track.

Feel lighter already having got that off my chest :rotfl:

Good luck everyone.

PepPop

I just posted and it's vanished.

Giggles I'm tempted to go and see if anyone is there - am I being too nosy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Blue It's this one They're really well equipped - never had to wait on a machine (I was a member when our local one opened). No contract, you get a pin number that lets you in so you can go any time of day or night. Oh and I've nothing to do with them - just think it's a good deal

Off there tonight - getting the buzz for it :T
:wave:

Giggles_Fairy

it is good just getting it off your chest sometimes isnt it Blue_Eyed? You have come soooooooo far its amazing. And you must have had such a huge change in your body. Ive noticed a change and am SO much more happier than I was a year ago and in some sense I think 'Oh I look much better than before I can relax abit now' but then I remember that feeling I used to feel and know if I stop then it a few months time when i have got used to my new shape I will start to feel that way again. Because I am STILL overweight. And that usually gives me the kick up the bum I need. We all go through stages of feeling unmotivated, just try to think about why you are doing this.

Oh PepPop that gym looks great. We actually have one in my city too and a few people I know are always talking about it but I never took much notice. Sadly it wouldnt work for me at the minute but I can now see why everyone raves about it so much!

PepPop

Hi all, hope you're all doing OK?
Went to they gym last night and came back with a face like a tomato - does that happen to anyone else? Just wanted to come on and do a virtual happy dance

I'm below 12 stone (ok by only 0.5 lb but I don't care!!!))

blue_eyed_girl

**creeps in hoping no-one will notice**

Still my own worst enemy. Daren't have wi as I think I will slide even further and faster into doldrums. Thank goodness still going to gym

:T:T Well done Pep on your result. Your gym looks great - unfortunately the nearest one to me is sixty odd miles away - bit too far to travel - especially with these dark nights :rotfl::rotfl:I usually have a certain glow to my cheeks on my way home from gym too. Love your dancers btw. Keep up the hard work.

Good luck for your wi too Giggles.

PepPop

Blue I see you!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Don't let it get to you. Just remember all the good work you've done up until now, you've maybe just plateaued. It's a pity the gym is so far away - we could have been virtual gym buddies

Hang in there ok

Giggles how you getting on?
