    Thanks, it is the only thing that actually motivated me.... ooh and the fact when he did a surprise video they recorded me... I had worked 20 hours a day for 3 weeks solid... I looked like a bit fat blob of poo....I swore blind I would reduce my work hours which I have done, and then with the engagement and flight, I would loose weight.



    With the 2 lbs that just sneaked in with the crafty weigh in...I have 20 lbs to go to make it to 11 stone 13 lbs..... that is a heck of a lot of weight.

    I am working from home today. OH has just told me that we are going walking at 5 pm, so we can be back for 7 pm and football god knows how far he will make me go today... he occassionally talks about the golden 20,000 steps!

    If he carries on being mean to me, I may make the weigh in... but I may also be single!

    :D:D:D
    I have more to lose than that to get to that weight:o

    Hadn't looked up the syns for j2o, and yes I expected more than that. Thanks maman.

    I think I could argue that raising my blood pressure was more important than sticking to plan, and can't do anything about it now, so line drawn and moving on

    Best thing to do :)

    Snow here tonight. Didn’t have it when you had it, kathrynha, just temps of -9C, brrrrr!

    Wow, Sunshine, what an incentive! You are going to steal the bride’s thunder - well, maybe not, noone ever outshines a bride.

    Well done, Mrs_R, on your loss. BTW, folks, I haven’t managed to read back so I’ll just congratulate everyone who has lost in the last couple of weeks and commiserate with everyone else.

    Thanks, maman and beanie. Yes I’m absolutely fine (apart from football - not a good score for you tonight, maman, boo). We’ve had decorator in since 4th doing hall and stairs – he is absolutely meticulous! He is hoping to finish tomorrow though. Then I have new blinds and curtains to put up (well OH has to do that ….) and all the stuff to get out of the various places where it’s been temporarily housed and returned. The whole place is a tip!

    Looks like I’m going to have to hunt out "bubbsbeef" recipe.

  • So I am getting motivated....

    14 weeks 20 lbs =1.5 per week - doable.

    5,000-10,000 steps per day (on average days I do not walk need to increase the steps) = 400-600 calories used per day

    Look for a dance group to drag a friend who needs to loose weight for health reasons.

    Increase veg intake

    Change cereal to Kelloggs all bran and beans to Heinz

    Learn how to stretch properly

    Figure out the best thing to do with baggy belly... OMG!

    Motivated but I am going out tomorrow night for a meal tomorrow night, set meal but we are playing swop food so should not be too bad, and there is dancing.

    I am not going to a do on Saturday, as I have decided I don't like the people going enough to drive and hour there and back, and to stick calories in my mouth for!

    Off to google baggy belly!
