Pleased to say I have lost 2 1/2 lbs and I have finally reached my target.

Beanie, this was so spectacularly understated!! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS! :j:T:beer:
WOOP, WOOP, Beanie's reached target!
I hope you are truly happy Beanie, you've had a difficult journey to get here with everything else and I have true admiration for your perseverence and determination (oops, set me off this end - I think I'm almost as happy for you as I would be for myself) xxx

Dilemma: Got on the scales this morning and weighed myself. 30 seconds later, wanted to check that it was still the same (!!!!!!!!!) and it said I was 1lb more than it said before. If this has happened to you, which weight do you feel you acknowledge as the right one. I know it's only a pound but do I steal it from this week's achievement or make next week a hard week to lose in becasue I have already taken a pound away! Dilemmas, dilemmas

Best of 3 Efrieze, records wise (take it with a pinch of salt emotions wise ) Still wanna hear about your new trainers! And don't feel like a fraud, you're out there and doing it, that makes you a runner! Watch out though, it's properly addictive :j Now Missy's got the bug too - Ajax, it's a-coming your way :rotfl:

Marion, fabulous result from your holiday! I am glad you found a way to mark your mum's funeral that made you feel better. As for the photos in the Sun, go on, I dare you! All the feelings you describe are entirely normal, and bloody great eh? :T

I hope you guys don't mind if I show you something.

I am thinking about the concept of maintenance (albeit that I am still not at my target). Maintenance has always been a challenge for me (as I am sure it has been for some others). I always used to say that I can't maintain so there is not point trying.



I think you get my point!

Anyway, with the help of this thread I WILL achieve my goal and stay at it - and so will you guys (especially Beanielou - I hope the new challenge of maintenance is an easy one!)

The other point to make here is that I didn't get on a scale for 5 years! I think that if we are going to splurge and indulge, if we keep an eye of the scale maybe we can reign it in before it is too late and 5 years have passed and 7 stone had been gained! Note to self - not preach to you guys!

Thanks lois for really helpful info about couscous & chickpeas as flour substitute- I cooked the chickpea cake for the first time last week on the understanding it was free on green - nope, according to your link, so I'm glad to know now!
Wendy - some great advice from the otherside of the argument too. Do let us know how you are this morning and how we can support you today.
Beanie - fab fab fab! BEANIE HAS REACHED TARGET Beanie - you have worked so hard to achieve this while coping with health and teenager issues! I can't tell you how big the smile is on my face becasue of this news:T
Retiredlady - so glad you hear you so upbeat and feeling good in your own skin. I liked what you did for your mum and that you know that it would have made her happy.
Pink lipgloss:T & erlqueen & Efrieze - excellent news: another nail in the coffin of any belief that you can't ultimately keep this weight off:T
Felt ready to weigh myself today after 2 very 'on plan' days and am pleased with the damage limitation after a weekend of bread, bread, and lashings of butter. I do have to report another 1lb on efrieze, which is the 3rd week in a row I have gained a lb, but it stops here. I like the size and shape I am now and I have got refocussed to shed the excess 4lbs. (Mr BB has lost another 1lb, so 8lbs in 3 weeks and got up early for a 5 mile walk on the seafront this morning).
PS you should see my before photos pinklipgloss - shudder. But give a great wow facter when you have lost weight.

Me too efrieze, thanks for the link to mapmyrun, It seems very good and will be very helpful for when I finally brave it outside the gym and onto the roads! I did my 3miler last week in gym at 27mins. I do run every day either 15mins or 2miles depending on how I feel. Oddly I run after the cross trainer and bike must be a reason, but I cant think of one. Im still chasing the weekend gain down, but for the sake of the chart, please use the Friday figure

Now all that chat about running and walking, well done BB (sorry about the slight gain) and molly I shall pack up and head to the gym myself
