Sorry to hear that, poor doggy -hope he/she is ok

Haven't been by for a while, but I just found 'z0mbies run' is half price on the app store! I remember mentioning it ages ago, and a few people were interested. I'm sorely tempted myself, but don't have a smartphone, only a tablet, which might be too big to run with

Hello ladies!
Still hanging in there - just been soo busy this week I haven't had much time to log on and update.

Weigh in tomorrow:eek::eek::eek:

I am feeling really nervous about the 1st weigh in tomorrow. I have eaten really well for 10 days, minimal carbs, no meat, no alcohol, lots of veg, salad and fish.
But I feel really, really bloated, like I am going to pop. Hmmmm maybe eating cabbage EVERYDAY is not a good idea?!

I am trying to rationalise that I have exercised 7/10 days and reduced my calorie intake from last year (significantly - i was drinking a bottle of wine a night) so I should see some results. But my belly is so swollen it doesn't feel like I have made progress

I am weighing myself and taking measurements of waist, hips etc so fingers crossed it disappears overnight!

So sorry to hear about your poor dog. I think with the adrenaline if dealing with that you probably burnt off the calories in advance!

Feel ok today aside from stupid snuffle bunged up nose and cold , amputation from the neck up needed I think!

:j First weigh in, and reporting a 5lb loss :j

Am I the first?

-3 please Dragon (it's actually -3.6 but I know we only deal in whole numbers!)

I am pleased, but slightly frustrated that OH has lost 4lbs...he only has half a stone to lose so he is well on his way! Why do men lose weight so much more easily?! I always remember this happening when my mum and dad would go on diets together. Mind you, he had a head start as he has been going since the 2nd Jan and I only started properly on Monday this week. Never mind, it doesn't detract from my achievement

ETA - oops, LavenderBees beat me to it while I was posting

I am absolutely bloody gutted, I have been eating like a sparrow (1200 cal) no fat, chocolate or "bad" food has entered my body I have done 30 mins exercise everyday sometime 2 hours. Yet my weight lose is only 1lb. Being my first week I'd expect 3-4lb then a slow down from week 2 but no.
I really have gone hell for leather. I sat at uni eating a chicken salad (with no dressing) whilst my fellow students were having a full english.
I just don't know what do do.

Oh no poor you do you really mean NO fat? Because we do need a bit of fat in our diets. Could it be that you have gone a bit too hard and your body has gone into 'starvation mode' and is clinging on to fat? (Not sure whether starvation mode is actual scientific fact or not but I am always reading about it). Or if you have been doing loads of exercise have you maybe built some muscle, which weighs more? Could be a bad TOTM for you.... Try not to worry at least the scales are moving down!
