Yay victory on saying no to the fete.Well done you.
Sorry about the arthritis flaring up.Have you just changed your hours for a wee while?
Ive been plodding on at the GP referral thingy at the gym.
It is so hard!! Yesterday I was cycling so slowly on the bike that the display kept going off!!EEKK!! It will get easier though.
Any news of your cross trainer yet petrichor?

Hi Bindiboo - take care of yourself, and don't try to push yourself too much too soon, general anaesthetic stays in your system for quite a while so you may feel 'under the weather' for several days. Female sterilisation is a more serious process than vasectomy, though you wouldn't think so to listen to men talking about their ops! :rotfl:

hi all,

and congratulations to those who lost last week.

I've been weighing myself on a friday..and realised the rest of you are on wednesday...hmm behind as always.

well this week i have lost the grand total of 0.1 kg (sorry i'm metric and proud ) and i've googled this and it comes to 0.2 lbs. oops . well it's a loss, but only just....i'd had a big wee :eek: :j :eek:

I am away on my cheapie ryanair flights soon, and will try much much harder for next wednesday!

Sky - thanks for your inspiring post. I am going to try on my own - as you say we all know what to do and how to do it. If I eat sensibly and exercise more I lose weight - simple

Next week will be challenging- off to Edinburgh on Thursday for two nights for a friends wedding, then a wedding party on Saturday night when we get back - phew!!! Still got to start somewhere.

Good luck to us all:T

forgot to say - PMA - Positive Mental Attitude. Need this to succeed.:o

Just wanted to say good morning to everyone before I go and do something. You are all keeping me going. Thanks
Bindiboo: Hope ypu are feeling better soon. Take it easy and get lots of rest.
Sooz its going the right way little by little well done.
KerryHawk: I agree a PMA is a big issue with weight loss and alot of other things.
Keep smiling and moving :j :j :j :j :j

MissFlimsy and welcome back TallGirl :T ...
...and Sky Blue :T Those post of yours were so positive and inspiring, ideal for all the newcomers. I've copied them to a file that I keep for such times when I feel my confidence and such is waning. With that attitude you will soon be seeing a new slimmer you :j ...

...bindi and Victory I hope that you are both feeling a bit better today and good for you Victory, don't those sort of people annoy you :mad: I think that they have problems with themselves, and they compensate by trying to run other peoples lives, they mean well, but :mad: ...

...sooz a loss is a loss, I only lost 0.2lb the other week, but the following week I lost 2.6lb t seemed to catch up :rotfl: so perhaps next week this will happen to you...

...beani You are such an inspiration to us all, I hope the gym stuff gets easier for you; how is the fund-raising going for your trike? Thanks for asking about the cross trainer thingy The matter has now been resolved and the money refunded to my account. The google support team also contacted the supplier which obviously helped; it was the carriers fault and it sems a shame that the supplier lost the sale because of them but I was so annoyed when he'd said I hadn't been in touch with them, he emailed me again and apologised and confirmed that I had and it was his mistake, but by this time I just wanted it all settled...

...SO... I want to thank you all for reading my posts this week especially the ones that included a bit of a moan v v embarrassed now especially when compared to Connie 's problems. Confidence and self image is very low at present despite getting into some clothes that haven't fit me before, but I'm working on that with the help of ALL OF YOU because I realise that I'm not on my own!!! and I'm feeling quite bright this morning, so

Morning all,
I maintained this week, disappointing but ok. I have been better with food overall but still a few annoying little trip-ups. I'm doing lots of swops with my food at the moment. Used to have 1 x rockcake in the morning from work now swopped for a Fitnesse cereal/chocolate bar (99 cals, 7% fat). Not great but better.

I'm finding going on tinternet is good at getting my mind away from food.

The most blindingly obvious thing struck me the other day. I kept thing about how so so slim I was til 20ish. Then I remembered how... I walked everywhere. Had smaller meals. Crikey it should have been so obvious, daft eh.

Anyway another little habit I've built in is to go up at least one flight of stairs every day when I arrive at work. Washed the car last weekend instead of giving £6 to the local carwash place. Need to do some housework today. Every wiggle helps.

Hope you're feeling better Bindi.

Best of luck everyone and get active.

Hi all

I stayed the same this week. which is ok. I'm doing 3 days at the gym now, so hopefully this will show the benefits in a few weeks.

Hope everyone else has a good week..

Yes bindi I have had to cut my hours down at work because standing and handling things with the hands the way they are is a bit too much this week....

H has had a go at me today so feeling a little deflated, son joined in also:eek: They want me to stop the dieting, the veg, the whole thing , that I am looking fine now and should stop, that I could take it too far and loose perspective and become too skinny but I only have just over 5 weeks till hols and can't do as they say, I am on a mission and will see it to the end plus I always have been a huge eater and will undo all my good work if for a sec I take my eye off the ball, do not trust myself just to have ' a little of what you fancy' so am stuck in limbo, I know what I do works, proof is in the weight loss so stick ridgidly to that, H and DS want me to be a bit more lenient but I do not know how to, fear of piling it all back on stops me from veering off, think I need to talk to my diabetic nutritionalist about being able to eat but maintain the weight not gain, what do you all think?
