WEEKLY WEIGH INS - Sundays

The only thing of hers that tempts me is cheese - I wouldnt eat any of the other stuff - it's mainly crap - cakes, trifles, chocolate etc. Mines the only fresh stuff in there but obviously I wasnt going to knock up a chilli or spag bol at 12 o clock

Both yours and her types of food sound good to me!!! I just like food!!!!

Nah you can't really become Nigella in the kitchen at midnight!!....though she does sneak into the fridge herself to eat leftovers at funny hours (though that might just be for the film crews benefit!!!)

I did the oh yeah "wrestling" yeah thats a new name for it too lol 4Angels.


I had a fish finger sandwich as I love them - but it didn't taste as good as i remember them so that was a scunner.

I jumped on the scales this morning as I have my biggest loser check in tonight so wanted to compare what the gym scales say and I have lost another 1 lb but i use the wii fit and i started off using the 3 lb added weight for clothes so will expect the gym scales to say slightly more.

I am trying so hard to drink more water as when i got my body fat percentage checked it was saying i was only 35% hydrated and its supposed to be about 70% so want to get an accurate check to start with.

You lot tut tut - it was wrestling lol.

Irnbru - how did the Biggest Loser weigh in go?

hey Stella, thanks for asking

i have got myself a kick ass gym programme now - i asked for a weights based one - it took a couple of hours and my trainer gave me loads of time and tips. I said about the interval training on the treadmill and my trainer suggested instead of trying to run really fast for the minute - try & slow it down a bit and do like a fast jog and build up my time first then as that adjusted I could then get faster - so I tried this morning and managed 30 mins solid at a sort of brisk jog - was so pleased with myself - I never thought i could be one of those people that just saunters up to the treadmill and just runs - but I can actually see that happening. I feel like I am one step closer to being able to eventually run a marathon - I just can't say how happy I am about this.

That's great you've got your exercise programme sorted and you feel confident with it Irnbru!

My treadmill is dusty really got to sort myself out!!!

Sending you a big hug Wonderwoman, hopin your spirits are lifted soon hun!!
Remember we are all here and if you feel that you want to chat there's usually one of us around! Take care xxxxx

Well done WW and Irnbru - big hugs to WW - dont know whats wrong hun but chin up !! You can always rant / moan / cry etc at me I dont mind!! Done it enough myself before xxx

Irnbru - 4 stone is fantastic!!!

Maintained !!! Whoop whoop

Hey 4Angels - it's crap when you put the work in and t doesn't budge and you have managed to avoid temptation this week - it doesn't seem fair somehow does it? - maybe it will show next week

WW - you are a wonder woman - another 2lbs your loss is fantastic - sorry that you are having a bad time of it at the moment - hopefully things will improve for you soon

yeay Stella !! - the hardest part is the keeping it off - so way to go that you are - well done ( and thanks for the congrats - I am walking about with this smug grin to myself)

Smug grin all you want - you've earned it !!!

Sorry I havent been around much. Just wanted to say thanks for all the support. Hopefully i'll be better next Thursday when the job from hell finally comes to an end!

oh no Wonderwoman - when you are unhappy at your work it can have such a knock on effect with the rest of your life - at least you have got an imminent change tomorrow is your last day then - hopefully things will be better for you after that.

Hope things are better after next thurs Wonderwoman...not long to go hun keep your chin up!!!

Fed up that despite what I eat the weight is not budging...I may not have done much exercise recently but I have restricted my calories (not under 1,200 though) and I still am not losing even a little bit of weight!!! There's no possibility that my body thinks it is starving and therefore preserving weight as my maintaining intake should be 1,900.

Is there a banging your head against the brick wall smiley? Nope...this one will have to do instead

Rant over

I'm replying to my own post? What's that all about?

Today is the new Sunday 1lb off hiphip hooray, ticker updated!

I'm celebrating now cos it will have gone back on by Sunday I'd imagine!!!!!

Oi you - less of the defeatest attitude

1lb off - thats great - at least its moving in the right direction!!

for 4angels

Thanks Stella.

What usually happens is if I lose a pound one day I mysteriously put two on when it comes to Sunday weigh-in time and I really don't know why that happens!!!

Think positive - here have some of my happy vibes and put them to good use

Thanks for your happy vibes

haha - my scales do that to 4 Angels lol - i am worried about the scales tomorrow as i have barely exercised and will be hacked off if i go back up from the 4 stone marker - i have tried to be sensible with food, but the odd bigger meal stops the starving calorie grabbing mode and trying to look on it as a recharge of batteries before getting back to full speed again - but am a bit fed up with being made to slow down a bit - especially as i only have 6 weeks until uni starts. - that could be enough to lose just about a stone - but i am happy with how my fitness levels have improved - am trying to tell myself that i should not be putting so much store into what size i am when i arrive at uni - but its that see saw thing again lol.

Hoping you will be pleased with the scales this week Irnbru despite the exercise problems!!

Having to slow down due to injury must be really difficult and frustrating for you, but at least once you have been to the Doctor's you can decide afterwards how best to progress fitness wise. At the moment I suppose being in limbo is the biggest problem really.
You may well lose another stone before Uni starts yet, but regardless of this you should be so proud and confident because of your weight loss so far.

Anybody else get really hacked off when they eat a meal that they haven't overly enjoyed and feel like it is a total waste of calories but can't be bothered making anything else - maybe its just me but I feel cheated!!!
