Lose Weight 36

jackieb

I have gained 1lb 3 times since I started in October. I don't think you should get hung up about average weekly weight loss. Look at it over 3-4 weeks instead. Every time i've gained, i've been good. It is a bit disappointing, but i've always lost it the following week. Sometimes it just takes a while longer for the loss to show.

Sorry, I mean to quote White Rose Tight ThaKnows.

Sorry for not loggin in this week ....... Bad day yesterday and I have gone down with the MAN FLU !!!! so only hauled my butt out of bed 1 hr ago.

I did manage to weigh myself yesterday and I had lost 1lb which is very disappointing as I just seem to be recycling around the same weight since christmas. Last time I lost weight I knew that reeling myslef in would get any gain off again but this time it doesn't seem to make any difference. My OH say's I am too hard on myself but the fact my work uniform feels like I am wearing a straight jacket and my trousers cut me in half with a mega jumbo muffin top!!!! :eek:
So I know I need to do something but I am not sure what is going to work for me this time. I have a few really busy weeks, staying away and easter so my goal was to loose 5lb this month but if I come out of the month weighing the same as now I guess that will be a good goal too........

Fredsnail - sorry for the lateness but could you add 6 hrs skating and 5.6km running to my sochi total, And could I try a marathon and add 3 hrs skating to that for yesterday.

I hope to be back on track soon but need to get rid of man flu by the weekend as have an important game on sunday and I need to be at my best to kick some butt :rotfl:

I know a few of you were looking into betting on your weight loss - I've found this site where you can join in monthly challenge to lose 4% of your body weight - you have to pay to join the challenge and then the pot gets split between everyone who has been successful in the challenge.

Not sure if anyone is interested - it looks like you have to submit a full length photo of yourself at the beginning and end of the challenge along with a photo of the weight on the weighing scales.

Seems to be all American though - maybe we should start one in the UK?

If there are enough people interested I'm happy to look at seeing if we can set up something similar online on a UK basis?

If anyone's interested please post below - then we can take it off the board so people who aren't interested won't get bored reading stuff that they don't relate too.

Hiya guys. Me again I'm sure some of you will remember me from previous threads, for those who don't... I'm Maz, I'm a 40 something year old mother, who was ill health retired about 4-5 years ago. I've battled with my weight and stopping smoking for years. Well guess what. One battle has been won Been off the smokes now for 5 months and 2 weeks. I said I would give myself 6 months off them before I worried about my weight. Well to my horror, I stepped on the scales on Sunday morning and cried. So I'm here to see if I can join your little group again.

Don't think I'll manage much exercise as my health has got a lot worse since i was here last and I should be moving within the next 2 weeks. But hopefully when I'm moved I'll get moving again, even if it's just a walk around the block. ATM I'm kinda trapped cos of the stairs up to the house. Knees are shot to pieces and after a relatively minor surgery in April last year, my hip/SI joint has been giving me a lot of trouble. But anyhoo. I'm on day 2 of the diet (not diet, change of eating) but you know what I mean

Down from 207lbs in January.
