Thread: The really slow loss team!

Fab loss Jen and well done for hanging in everyone else!
This is day 4 of being 100% for me :-)

Finally caughgt up! Phew. Only 7 pages to read! You talk too much.

Boobies, tell me about them!

After the first 28 lbs there was no absolutely reduction in size even though 4" went off me bum! In total I've now lost 65½ lbs with a mere 4" off the boobs but 10" off hips. So I'm another one that manages to keep big boobs. Now shrunk to a mere 36E.

And men !!! How do they lose so much?

When I started SW over 5 years ago my Hubby weighed in at 11:3 BMI = 23.8, size 32" jeans. So not overweight. First time round he lost 9 lbs without blumin' trying and just by eating the same food as me. Still drinking loads of wine.

This time round he's only lost 8 lbs in the last 12 months and now weighs 10st on the nose, with his BMI at 21.3 and now takes a size 30" jeans.

I HATE MEN !

Welcome to all you lovely new ladies. It's nice to have some new friends on the tortoise team.

Now to the rules.

If you lose more than 1 lb you head off to the naughty step.

More than 2 lbs and you have to pay for the party there (x_Jen_x get your purse out and pay for a round of drinks. Oooh should be nice and cheap as there's only you there I think )

Lose more than a pound 2 weeks in a row and not only are you on the naughty step but you get lines as well.

Do it 3 weeks in a row - err well it's never happened yet so haven't worked out what to punish people with yet.

And our February Challenge is to lose just ½lb a week and lose 2 lbs in the month.

A few of us are off to a good start - me with my 1¼ gain for one!!!

LisaC - I am so sorry about your lovely cat. I am a huge cat lover - as you can tell from my avatar of my 2 girls - and have had cats since I was a tiny 2 year old and now couldn't live without them! I always cry buckets when one leaves me.
My old lady, that I left in the UK with friends when we came to Spain, died last year aged 23 and I was inconsolable for days. So I really do feel your pain.

Flabulous - don't you dare give up chica. OK stop going to group as your SWC sounds like a real ****** but you can do this on your own and with us here to give you or these too as and when required.
There may be something though that is causing you to bloat hun and not lose weight. With me it's processed carbs so I really can't eat pasta, bread etc etc but I'm okay with spuds and rice. I know your C has probably looked at your diaries but probably only from a perspective of what and how much you've eaten. It may be worth looking through them again and see if you can spot any pattern.
I feel your pain chica so have lots of these at the mo

Half off for me!! Will keep plodding on;-)

Thanks for the rules, made me laugh, I don't think there's going to be any problem with me loosing loads!
Lou thanks for the advice, will bore you all to death with my food plan if I make no progress on weigh in on Monday. Would love to blame scales but weigh in at home, naked so no excuse from weight of different clothes, but the sight in the mirror makes me carry on lol.
I'm a great cat lover, currently have a massive black and White one on my lap, she's also on a diet and doing as well as me, loosing nothing! My other cat, a ginger stray that has adopted us is a perfect weight but then he is a male and as previously discussed Males have this amazing ability to loss tons without even trying my hubby started dieting same day as me and has lost 6 yes 6 pounds!

One of our cats is ill at the moment and I am really worried about her. The vet doesn't know what is wrong with her and she is now off her food. She might need a food drip tomorrow to get some nutrition into her ( .
Foodwise I am doing ok and starting my diary again has helped.

Oh how I wish I could get my girls to diet. They were lovely and slim when they came here . . . now hubby calls them the "obese felines"
They can open the cat food bag and steal from it - and go begging at all the neighbours who feed them. They've been asked not to but it appears something has been lost in the translation to Spanish

Flossie (nicknamed bagpuss at a whopping 7½kg = 16½lbs) on the right.
Candy (known as twiggy as she is only 6kg = 13¼ lbs) on the left.
Okay - they are BIG cats in size but definitely obese!!!

Here is my ill cat at the moment. She has dropped down to 2.8kg . She is the tortie.

The other one is out he is about 6.4kg he is the black one begging for food

Oh latte - I hope you little tortie gets sorted out soon. for her and you

hugs latte, sorry to hear about your cat being ill

nothing new to report today, been cleaning and packing like crazy, had a sw breakfast and dinner but tea was appalling. and im craving chocolate...not like me at all, so im a bit confused about that one!! lol
i havent even been weighed this week so i dont know how im doing for februarys challenge yet. i will be weighing in tuesday night, i was going to miss this weeks weigh in aswell and stop going to group but i have done a u turn and decided that i will go and i will keep on at group. its not my group or consultants problem that i was ill and then moving house so unable to stick at it and i need to not fall gead first off the wagon for weeks...kick up the bum please

The sight of your two gorgeous cats has made my otherwise bl@@dy awful start to the day.

My cat is a 5.5 kg boy. He goes in, then goes rugby ball shaped and then in at the back. Poor soul is on that ghastly Hills R/D - looks like bits of cardboard bound together with glue but I reckon he sleeps 20 out of 24 hours so that is his problem, not the eating!!

My ds car has packed up and I am having to make my way on foot. It's all gone pear shaped at the moment (practically) but I am STS for now.

Latte so sorry to hear about your cat, hope the vet finds a treatment.
Got on the scales again, know I shouldn't but couldn't help myself and lost the weight I had mysteriously gained, so I'm back where I started, which is good, hoping to loose over the weekend lol.

After many weeks in the dolldrums of the gains and STS I have finally lost 1.5lbs this week.. hurrah!


As I was just saying to Hels, let's just hope I don't find them again next week, as this seems to be the way things are just now!

Off to the naughty step to buy a cheap round..........

Well done:-D
