Is it ok for me to join you Novemberites? I started last Wednesday, but my first weigh in is this Wednesday, and like Claire, it doesn't feel right jumping in at the end of October on the October starters
Any November starters looming about out there!?

Hi Karmawitch...ooh your first weigh in...how is it going, how are you feeling...you're nearly through that first week!!
i've gone through phases of feeling headachey and incredibly hungry today and just feeling plain cold, it didn't help that i only had a few hours sleep, woke up at about 4 and just couldn't get back off again! that's unusual for me, so i guess i can add that to my list of side effects today
for some reason this part of the day is always the worst for me...can always tell when it's coming up to 4 o'clock as i get really quite sleepy and also it's a time when i seem to need to nibble on something...the hunger pangs really strike.
Probably also doesn't help that it's also the time of day that i'm either thinking of cooking or cooking for everyone else so just thinking about food.
right think i've rambled on enough for now....
waves to Aimee and Alibongo...look forward to chatting soon

Hi Lula
hopefully we can all be a great support for one another :hug99:
i see you are all set to go...fantastic...look forward to hearing all about it!
my weigh in is Thursday night...can't wait
it will be really good to get the first week down although theoretically it'll be 6 days as i started the packs on the Saturday...even so i am hoping for a good loss and would even say i already feel slightly slimmer around my middle...mind you that's not so hard as my tummy seems to have maintained the shape it was when my 9 month old was still in it lol :giggle:am going to sit down in a while and have a think about some short term goals to set to keep me motivated!

oh Lula meant to say about the weight loss tickers
if you look here
Tutorials - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum
there is advice on all the techy things you might need to do including setting up the tickers i would happily talk you through it if i could reliably remember how i did it in the first place :giggle: one tip though when you do it make sure you preview it before saving so that you can see that it has worked....it takes a while for the changes to be updated on your siggy so looks like it hasn't worked initially you see so if you try to view it by making a post it might not be there!
lol hope that makes sense, talk about rambling on ...sorry!

Have been having a think about what goals to realistically set myself and how i should reward myself for achieving them, my usual reward system would be a food treat of some description!!!
My first goal is to last the week out and i was actually thinking to myself oh goody if i can do that i can have X to eat...i actually thought that
OMG how daft would that be rewarding my week of abstinence with food one way of sabotaging myself
sooooo i think i will order up some extremely lovely smellies for my bath and have a good old me pamper morning on Saturday...in fact thinking of making that a regular Saturday morning treat to mark off the weeks!!
with my two kids i don't usually get time for baths only showers these days

Thursday nights not long,im sure youve done well, looking forward to hearing your news.
Im sure your little one keeps you active,nine months isnt very old,such a cute age ! Mine are all grumpy teenagers,so cant blame them for my tummy
yes it is a fab age..he has been mobile since 4 and a half months believe it or not although now he can get himself into a sitting up position in the blink of an eye
and is showing signs that he'd llike to be up on his legs i have a 3 year old(nearly 4 ) too between the two of them i am certainly kept busy..teenagers and three year olds aren't so different really...just minus the hormones our tummies will soon be a thing of the past

Happily pro pointing!
Looking forward to my first class back tonight. A bit nervous as I am joining a developers class and I am not exactly a developer, and they will all know each other.
I am well excited about getting started though. Just remembering how I felt when I got to RTM last time is really spurring me on I feel totally driven, which is unusual for me LOL.
I have been through all the emotions today. Getting ready for work this morning I looked in the mirror and thought just how dreadful I looked, and I am quite disgusted with myself for letting me get back into this state. After a bit of slap I felt and looked a bit better, but I just can't wait to start getting rid of some of this excess weight.
I want the 'little' me back again :cry:
I loved the 'little' me (obviously not enough though, eh?). I have been looking at my little clothes and can't wait to get back in them. I had a pair of lovely Next size 10 jeans, which were my Goal jeans and yet again they will be my Goal jeans. Starting after Christmas I will try them on every week until they fit me just nicely. Right now they will get about just over my knees LMAO.
Good luck other Novemberites, I know there are a few going to their first meeting tonight.
Bring on the the foodpacks I am ready!
