January 2009 - Starters

Oh and 34 stone could be a cinder block and a guinea pig!

NO IT WON'T! Thats 34 pound!

34 stone is a welsh pony, a irish setter and a human's skin!
 
ergh, don't like the idea of a human skin very much, lol!

Well done everyone on their losses this week, we are losing so much but I agree the human skin one is a bit freaky :D

Just had a porridge for the first time. I liked it but put in a little too much water. I've got another 2 for the weekend - looking forward to them :)
 
Get rid of the scales Westie LOL!

Well done all on your losses, can't belive how far we've all come - it's amazing!

3lbs off for me this week.

Good luck to the rest of you with weighins tomorrow.

Well done WG - I only hope mine is the same are yours..registered a .3lb loss on mine!
 
hi all 5lbs off last night which i'm really pleased with given i put on almost 2lbs last week! now into my 7th week so halfway with a total of 22lbs off - i'm really pleased.:D :D
 
Brilliant losses again everyone - can't believe how quickly the time is flying past, can you?

Feeling really good today, I know I'll have a good loss tomorrow
 
Well thats men for you ;)

Sean - actually saying about that - do you find the CBT side relevant to you? I know a few of the other blokes say emotional eating wasn't a problems for them so did not benefit from it - just wondering how you are finding it?
 
Way to go girls!!! That's a nice one for you birthday Siim, and Happy Birthday too! And great surprise when it does that isn't it Westie!!

I've had a bit of a strange morning. Challenging really!! Had a photo call for the local papers and I literally couldn't find a thing to wear!! I don't do clothes, or shopping and I struggle at the best of times. My business stuff is either too big now or still packed away and I just haven't sorted through things yet. I'm still in 18 jeans at home that fall down and the 16's are heading that way. Well in the end managed to find something suitable but it was such a strain! Why can't we all just wear something simple!! :( Least my boots did up easily, thought of you Daisy :D. I guess the photos will only be small and in black and white anyway so no one will notice but it was still an EEEK moment.

I'm now in a panic as to what to wear on holiday in May. Can't buy yet, I'm still shrinking. I'm never good at 'capsule' wardrobes and as for the gala dinner.... :cry:

I hate shopping! :(
 
I'm tesco/Asda/Primark and charity shopping it at the moment when I need the essentials (eg, work trousers, pants, jeans, or outfit to wedding I'm off to this month). I am now in uncharted territory - I am a smaller size than I HAVE EVER BEEN - by like 4 size now.

I'd just say buy cheapies for now, you can get nice vests for hols in these places for £2, or even for the gala dinner rent one if you have somewehre nearby that does that?
 
Hi EmVeg

Not really had any CBT stuff in the group. I have looked at the books though but don't see an aweful lot of relevence in then to be honest. I overeat (or did) because that's what I do. I don't think there's any particular emotion attached, more simple greed/gluttony.

Like many of the men, alcohol has undoubtedly played a major role in weight gain, as most nights I'd have at least 2-3 drinks. Normally wine but that doesn't make it any less fattenning. Following a drink I would eat, simple problem.

In the "Eat Less" book, Gillian explaines it as 'addictive eating' which rings true for me, rather than emotional eating. Also I know quite a lot of the CBT techniques as I use some of them in my day to day job (amoungst other things I am a business coach), but never really called it CBT. As a result I don't really get much benefit from the CBT.

Initially I ws disappointed that we didn't have much coaching in the Men's sessions, but actually I now think I get more out of the opportunity to chat with the other guys, we do share experiences but have simple 'non-technique' solutions for each other. LLC acts more as a facilitator than a coach.

Long answer, but honest opinion :)

Hi everybody, great weightlosses from all. Keep up good work.
Janey xx
 
Hi PB,
Yeah they do have more weight to loose than me!
Maybe that's why their losses seem so much bigger than mine :)
Well done on the amazing losses everyone!
xx
 
Thanks Em. I may have to look into some tide me over clothes. Even my belts are too big to hold the jeans up. :rolleyes: Perhaps I'll just go buy some jeans. :sigh: I know last time a few of the girls used to swap clothes at the meetings as they got smaller. I don't do the meetings though. :rolleyes: Not a bad idea about the rental too!!
