:wave_cry: Real blow out day today. Started badly as I wieghed myself and it looked like I'd lost another 4 pounds and then I realised I'd moved the machine onto capret and as soon as I put it back where it normally is - I find I've lost half a pound. :eek: Tomorrow is official wiegh in day but...

Just checking in to see that you had a good holiday. Rain and caravans seem somehow to be inextricably linked in this country! Nevermind, it's all part of the fun. :rolleyes: Fab news that you held the weight off - I bet you'll have a good shift this week! :innocent0002: Take care. :)

My ticker has moved - we have lift off! Hooray. First week is all good. The ticker has moved in the right direction! :) This second week I've been ill - which has meant not much food intake which might slow my metabolism down and no real exercise. But I'm happy nevertheless. Feeling better this...

You are a star Bren - fantastic loss and well deserved. Enjoy and revel in it...you are getting closer and closer by the hour! :bliss:

Hi Dorcas, just wanted to add my best wishes for your whole new start. I think you have every chance of cracking it like this. I too am opting for the cutting back option and exercising. I like Rosemary Connely as well and found success with her at times in my life, but honestly it's just about...

Hi there Bren and Samantha - thanks so much for dropping in for me. It's lovely to have such morale support from two who are going great guns with their own goals. Fab jobs!! :party0011::) Funnily enough I just did my cardio dvd with the children in the room and they joined in. You're right...

Yes, I'm not sure if my chicken and chips tonight did much good! (eek!:break_diet:). Still, I did some exercise as planned so its swings and roundabouts. :) As you say, sometimes taking the longer route keeps you saner. I'd love to just go for it but the strict diets just don't fit with my...

Just wanted to say I hope you are feeling back on the job and not worrying about the little slip-up. ;) these things happen - as long as the general trend is down right?? I know what you mean about the wieght loss one week being good and then not so good...you hang on for ages trying not to...

Hi there Bren - I am currently at home with my 22month old daughter and 3 and a half year old son, which can be wearing at times. I work freelance as a management consultant and we have some serious construction going on at the house, as the back half is being rebuilt. I think the tiredness is...

Day three and I've not eaten to badly but I didn't exercise - fell asleep instead! :sigh: Still, I'm not getting into 'beat msyelf up' mode. Got the rest of the week to allow myself to get into the swing of it. Happy to lose the weight slowly and be good-ish by Christmas. Just testing my new...

Hi Barb and congratulations with your progress so far - I bet you feel great about this positive start. :) Very interested in your food diary: tell me, are you writing down actual calories or just recording what you eat, roughly? I can see how a diary might be helpful and I am doing a similar...

Hi there! I just joined too. It's such and active and happy site! Well done to you for you sound like you are going great guns. Thanks for mentioning the Food focus site - I just checked it out and signed up. ;) I think the visuals are very motivating. Although they sure make you work hard to...

Thanks Linzi - good to hear you are getting lost of enthusiastic support and are doing well! :)

Well I've just joined as I finally feel ready to tackle the bulge(s!). Gotta say it's great to have a place to let off steam and track my progress too. It's very inspirational seeing everyone else's progress. I don't have a very good 'diet' mentality and find that with a strict regime I cheat...

Hello everyone - I have also had two C-sections. I am carrying 3 stone too much and have theglorious pouch :sigh:. After a pregnancy some women can experience a separation of the muscles down the middle of their tummy and if you do a crunch you would be able to feel a dip just below your belly...

Hello everyone - this site seems to be exactly what I was looking for - a friendly place to be amongst others who have decided to shift the pounds. I am not following any particular diet (which might be a mistake! :o) but I feel that excercise and cutting back on the junk is my first port of...
