Lol, you do so well with all those children, it's hard enough for me having food in the house for one lol - it takes him so long to finish anything! Can't believe he hasn't noticed I'm on a diet, last night he was asking me to please eat his biscuit because he'd started it but didn't want any more! I told him to just put it back in the packet and not to worry about it as I wasn't hungry and didn't want it!

I will think of the wall on my tough days and get through them. Might have to invest in some climbing gear lol

Have a fab weekend too - roll on next week eh

Fingers crossed you and I both have fab weight losses next week XX

Well I got through last night, it was a real struggle but it's over with now I made one of those chocolate fudge things of Mike's website, it was quite bearable and nice to have something to chew for a change as I don't like the bars. Although I may revisit them in the future.

Well this morning hubby awoke and weighed himself, he's lost another 8 and a half pounds! I am just so amazed, it's fantastic, he's gone from 19st 1lb to 16 stone 13lb in LESS than 3 weeks! He's 6ft 2in so he has only got a couple of stone more to go before his BMI is NORMAL! Oh to have normal BMI, it seems such a very long way off for me but I will get there

Hubby has plans for us to get out on our bikes this weekend and do a bit of walking in the park, he's way fitter than me though lol. I'm looking forward to it though, I always feel a lot better after some excercise, all those endorphins buzzing around.

Right off to make my caramel and coffee shake, I can hardly contain myself

Well Done you for getting through the night Im exactly like you at present really struggling I just want a chicken salad
Your hubby is doing so fab but dont compare yourselves as I think when man go to LL they only have to do I think its a 7 week foundation course as they lose it at double the speed to us ,probs as we get TOTM and water retention?

Kath

I want a chicken salad and I don't even eat meat! Oh for a ham sandwich!

The bike rides weren't very successful, I really really struggled - breathless and just weak. I kept yawning Tomorrow we're just going to go for a walk in the park instead, I know I can manage walking!

Blimey I didn't know the men only had to do 7 weeks, that is amazing, no wonder it's falling off him. I'm not expecting the same loss as him, nowhere near it - he has a really physical job and is burning calories all the time whereas I'm at home most of the day.

I'm feeling down today, most unlike me Think it's because I want something to eat and know it's going to be a very long time before I'm at that stage. I'm annoyed with myself that I've let it get to this stage where I have to stop eating food to get control over it.

It's not forever though is it...

It's not helping me thinking like this though so I need to switch it around, the day is nearly over I'm going to microwave a bar tonight into cookies and sit and eat those with a cuppa whilst I watch robin hood then I'm going to wake up tomorrow and feel strong again.

Hi Kath,

On average men lose one and half stone a month and women one this is the guide lines, but that may vary up and down.

It is futile to compare yourself to others as there will always be those who lose more or less...we lose weight to suit our own body type.

One good thing about slow losers is that during a famine we can live up to three monts more

You sounded like you might of over did things today and this does not help...try and take it a little easier tomorrow, but your feet up.

Love Mini xxx

Thanks mini, I like the famine tip

Well Saturday was a rubbish day but Sunday I woke up feeling strong and focused again thank goodness. We went for a lovely walk in the park got slightly breathless sometimes but took it nice and steady with plenty of stops for the monkey to splash in puddles and play robin hood

So yesterday was a good day and I'm pleased with myself for getting over Saturday unscathed.

Feeling good today too, it's my weigh in tomorrow so I'm nearly another week over with yippeeeee!

Seems a bit awful wishing my weeks away but I'm very eager to get to the other side

We're going to book a holiday for the end of December, hopefully somewhere lovely and snowy - I'll feel fab once that's booked as it'll give me something to focus on.

Hubby is nagging me to join the gym, he's right I know, I could go every day after I've dropped the monkey at school and it'll really help me tone up. It's just the induction thing I dread, I know they ask your weight so you can use the running machine. Well I'm going to build up my courage this week and hope to join next week....

Hope everyone else has made the weekend unscathed

Sounds like you're doing great, hun! Just be careful on the old exercise front - don't overstretch yourself as you've got no glycogen to protect your muscle tissue when you're SSing. Plus, you can make yourself feel very faint if you're going hell for leather running/cycling/treadmill-ing when you're only on 500 cals a day.

Tell your hubby that you can do loads of exercise when you're in maintenance and eating carbs again, but til then, it has to be gentle, toning stuff!

Thanks Isobel, I'll bear that in mind - I think that's why I was struggling so much on the bike ride, my legs were burning like they were on fire and I just had no strength, had to get off and walk with the bike in the end

Do you think it will be ok for me to just do weights at the gym or something? Feel really lazy doing nothing, specially as hubby is out grafting all day - feel like a right woos complaining of feeling weak

Wow!! You achieved so much last night when you didnt give in to the chatter box!! You are making your resolve stronger every time you do that!! So give yourself a pat on the back.

Sounds like the cycling/walking thing could be a romantic rendevous!! Enjoy that as well!!

Kath

Thanks Claire

Lol, not sure about the romantic bit as our 4 year old was also with us It is lovely though all getting out and doing something together

It will be a lovely family day out so enjoy it!! Make sure you tell us all about it afterwards!!

Kath

Lol, I've already been in was Saturday Then we went walking on Sunday and that was fabby too. Although the cycling was far too exhausting.

And to top it off! We've just booked a holiday to Austria for a week from 27th December - can't wait! That's given me even more of a boost to shift a big chunk of weight before then

Yipppeee!
