Go you! Well Done! :T
Am not in the slightest bit jealous.......;)

Me neither!!

Big pat on the back to those that have lost.

No surpises that I STS *ahem* or perhaps even gained half a pound. Never mind there wasn't much effort or exercise beyond Tuesday so can't expect miracles to happen.

Morning all
Am starting afresh today ragz, amazingly since my sneak wi yesterday I've dropped another .4st! How I don't know, but not complaining. So start weight 9st 7lb and will stick with my original plan of 8lb loss over the next period.

What's your height, sparrer? Just because we have similar weight goals, so I wondered how tall you were. I often feel I'm very heavy for my height, because of my build - e.g. I don't look much bigger than my best friend, but she weighs a good stone and a half less than me, because I carry the weight on my legs, hips and bum.

I'm 4ft 11 3/4" Ella, but easier to say 5 feet to save breath . My bmi is 26 so in the 'overweight' range. I carry my weight from below bust to lower belly - was asked in my late 40's if I was pregnant :eek: I'm 64 now, 16 months ago was 12st 2lb which was ridiculous. I'm not rushing it, I still have a daily treat and occasional meals out, but stopped buying rubbish which was a big part of my being obese, and pick at fruit instead now.

Popped in for my WI and lost 2lb. Still feeling awfully bloated though may need to shift some water. Anyhoo yesterday went like this
B: nothing, hate eating first thing get indigestion at my fitness classes.
L:scrambled eggs on toast.
T: brocoli, bacon and cheese pasta bake.
S: finished my choccy egg, finished kettle crisps bag(not many in it) 2 oatcakes with pate.
E: body conditioning and body balance.

attentionseeker1

WI: 1lb lost
B: toast with light Philadelphia,, glass almond milk
L: crab stick and cannellini bean salad
huevos rancheros with avocado and beans
Snacks: Weight Watchers crisps, sml handful mixed seeds/dried fruit
E: none- time of the month and not in the mood :-(

Quite pleased with 1lb as went to The Ritz for afternoon tea (Christmas pressie I bought for my mum) and wow was that a calorie-laden cake stand! I heartily recommend it though as a once in a lifetime treat!!!

I survived the first day. Really craved choccie after dinner but i had fruit instead. It seems writing my diet down on here is making me stick to it.

good luck all x

Having lost a regular 2lb a week for 10 weeks, I join this challenge and have only lost 1lb this week! I have been weighing myself daily and have been 2lb less than this during the course of the week, such are the ups and downs. Anyway, that is 1/24 for me and I hope for next week's WI to even things out. What I need is some good old exercise over the weekend (housework - eugh!) and maybe it will get my metabolism going again. Good luck all!

Thank you for the congratulations Lavenderbees, ragz, , Ellarose and p0lly. Need2be thank you and well done on your loss too. :T

P0lly, I don't have any tips, I usually sts or gain most weeks so this one is a bit of a fluke. The only thing I've done differently is to stick to small helpings of food and question if I really need more after each helping, and to record the majority of the food I eat on Myfitnesspal. I hope it lasts, but given my track record...

Well done Dundeedoll russetred, attentionseeker1 and Woohoo The Dragon, 4lbs is fabulous! :j

Living proof, a 1lb loss is still a loss, well done.

Comisserations anyone who's gained or sts, this weight loss thing is such an up and down game!

Have a good evening all, I'm debating having Friday Cheat Night (=chocolates and crisps ) as it has been a long week. I hope you're all stronger than me.

The_Dragon

I am wondering why that bottle of wine is calling to me :rotfl:, although it is going to get easier as Dr Dragon is now trying to lose weight as well

savesummore

Hmmmmmmmm a day of two halves :cool:

I have been 'good' this morning- I said no to a breakfast sandwich at work whilst those all around filled their faces with bacon sarnies :eek: then at lunchtime I overcome the urge to ditch my healthy homemade veg soup and have crusty chesse and onions cobs (believe me this was hard as ive had such a carp week at work) but I ate my soup!! :A

But oh dear (those sensitive to a takeaway story look away now)............... I had chipshop chicken tikka keebab meat,
salad :rotfl: and chips for my tea

Im off now to hang my head in shame...........
