Evening all

Just a note to say hello and to apologise for my childish ways, maybe its the male in me, but sometimes I feel what I say and do gets overlooked a little, in so far as I know and realise that no-one likes a smartar5e or someone that has lost weight, when your trying your dammest to lose weight. Add to that in general my confidence has fallen through the floor and I hope that goes someway to explaining things.

I did get to the gym today, managed my 21 mins on the cross trainer and 21 mins on the bike, burnt 842 calories (according to the machines) The gym is undergoing a refurb at the moment, which makes things hard. All the equipment is in a meeting room, there is no threadmill and the gents changing room is also a meeting room, meaning I have to go home to get showered.

I do apprecaite you guys, I do struggle with my weight, I come here looking for support and hoping that I can offer my support and my stupid sense of humour.

Off to meeting all day Thursday at Heathrow, so I maynot see you till Friday.

SUGGS as I said I did not log on yesterday so have only just seen this coming in from work now...is it the gym refurb that is making you edgy? Do you think in the back of your mind you think you will not be able to do it with food alone?
I admire your dedication to the gym, I personally have done food alone and walking cycling but hardly any exercise to what you do...
You cannot go anywhere, all the people on here read your story as their inspiration, you helped me all the way, loads of people did on this thread but you fly the flag , yes, I am with you on the maintaining is impossible hard sometimes, some days all I do is clock watch to see when I can eat again and get thouroughly fed up with it but I can always pull back by going upstairs and putting on my black trousers that I used to live in and now they are massive...
As it was talked about before, I have learnt a lot, mine was boredom eating and now I make sure I go and purposely do something else to take my mind of it, yes some days are impossible but on the whole it has been worth it...
I would hope you feel you have been supported:D I do, we all do, that is what this chat room is for, support and we are all here for you...
I struggle with my weight, we all do, when it becomes so very hard, just think of the positives, I know what you are saying, we have to now live with it daily, the weight may have gone but the maintaining and the learning is life long now;)
Confidence wise, loosing the weight does not give you the bucket loads by default you would expect, I know that, it has to be worked on yet again daily, cartwheels for the weight loss do not exist, it runs deeper than that, I sometimes think there was nothing wrong with me before, I was just larger so leave me alone and let me eat, drink and be merry,even that doesn't work.....
Even though there is a support network at home, here at work, the weight loss or maintaining can be tiresome, lonely, isolating, difficult, mind consuming, boring, frustrating,slow,analytical,desperate...

For every negative there has to be a positive:D

Just a note to say hello and to apologise for my childish ways,
Hi Suggs, no need to apologise: you weren't being childish at all, quite the opposite infact - very adult to be able to say 'I'm a bit upset and feeling a bit ignored' and I'm so glad you did. I will hold my hand up at once and admit I think I did unconsciously treat you differently because your a man - it's like, I know women like support, and somehow forgot to treat you as just as human as the rest of us,if you get what I mean. Which is odd because I don't treat Mr 'big softie' BB like that, but I had two older brothers who were always very self sufficient and it's taken along time to realise that men hurt too.
So I apologise to you and it won't happen again!
Sorry your confidence is low. Is it connected to the weight loss/gym or something else that has cropped up?

PS you are definitely NOT a smart ar5e:D

Hi Suggs

I haven't logged on since I posted my loss the other day but I just want to add my support and reiterate all the posts above. Nobody wants you to go anywhere - you are definately not a smartar5e and you are a real inspiration to many of the people on this thread.

To have lost that amount of weight is a tremendous achievement and is great motivation for the likes of me who looks at how much you have lost and thinks to myself - if Suggs can lose that amount - surely I can lose a few wee pounds/half stone/stone or whatever.

Your advice and support to everyone is always spot on and the thread wouldn't be the same without you so - no you can't go away - we won't let you!!

I know it can't be easy but I hope your confidence gets a boost soon as you certainly deserve it.

Well done to bails & starlight for an astounding 4.5lbs off in one week. And also to emmalis for5lbs off - this week's slimmers of the week.

Pixiedust and Anic, sorry you haven't made it this time but as your losses were over 2 weeks and 4 weeks respectively, I felt that this way was fairer.

Well done also to Justmarried, Anic and RachelJA who have all already completed this month's 5lb challenge, there's still time to achieve it everyone, there's 3 weeks remaining on this week's challenge.

Thanks Delly for the doing the chart.

I must admit I wasn't expecting to be included in the 2lb club or the monthly challenge at all this week as I knew my loss was over a month so didn't think they technically counted as they were not over the right period (does that make sense!!!).

This is why I decided to start weighing myself in Boots on a weekly basis so that I can join in. I think seeing the losses is great motiviation so hopefully I can reach the 5lb challenge in the next three weeks (hopefully).

A bit well done to bails, starlight and emmalis for your fantastic losses this week and also to Justmarried and Rachel JA for achieving the monthly challenge already.

Well done to everyone else that lost this week. It is amazing when you look at the total loss for the week and realise it is over two stone in one week. Fantastic!!



Missyg - Your excercise routine sounds far to much like hard work for me. Mines is almost identical to Brighton Belle's !!!

My excuse is I've got a spur on my heel so can't do any exercise where my foot needs to hit the ground (and I can't do swimming as I am feart of water).

Anyway - better go just now - need to pack up to go home but will look in later and reply to all the other posts I've missed.

Well done all losers and maintainers.

I didn't post yesterday as I maintained again and I was hoping I could cheat and post a loss today. Cheating doesn't work as I still weigh the same today.

Hi all, haven't had the best of days as the stress of the Dementor's impending arrival is overriding my ability to make sensible choices so I'm off for a bath and an early night. See you all tomorrow, the day of reckoning in our house!!:rolleyes:

katiepoppycat

is there any chance she might be allergic to cat fur bails? Put loads of it in here bed, just on the off chance . . .

Good luck with the visit bails - it is going to be difficult, so don't fret on the food front as well. I just hope there is some shift in her attitude to you. We'll be here if you need us. These things are sooo difficult. It is so sad that if she was able to shift her perspective just a little, she would gain so much from the both of you.
Congrats by the way to you,stalight and emmalis on SOTW . You've all done so well, and Anic, justmarried and georgiebrown.
I'm off to bed. Got a blood test tomorrow a.m. that I've got to fast for, so no more food between now and 10 tomorrow morning:eek: .

bails

Who says I'm giving her a bed?! :rotfl:Gutted I forgot about the honey-covered kitten alternative to doughnuts (and cookies and belgian chocolates )

Just been having a look at my BMI - thanks BB - and according to a chart I found, I'm currently obese! Even my goal weight still puts me in the overweight category. I will use it as a (very) rough indication as 10st 3 (which is the weight I was when I ran London) is only just in the healthy range and there's no way I was overweight then! I know muscle etc affects it so rough guide it is.

Off for that bath then, hope some of those Belgian chocs seep out of my pores...

Edit: thanks for your lovely message BB, we must have been typing at the same time! Hope the blood tests go okay and help you find some answers.
