Hi all. I have some wonderful news…..I’m pregnant. We are delighted. I had a scan last Wednesday and everything is going to plan. I’m 9 weeks today and am due at the end of January 2010. It’s typical as soon as I reached my goal weight I get pregnant…so now I will have to put all that weight back on again. I will keep an eye on yer posts and log on every now and again to tell ye how fat I’m getting. I will really need all yer help in loosing the weight once the baby is born. So keep up the good work. Wishing ye all the best.

Hi all, I’m up 2lbs this week. Not surprised. How did ye all get on?

Morning all,

Thanks for all the good wishes. Since I’m at the lowest weight I have been for year I said id better do a bit of a body measure up before I came to work this morning. So how has the 20lbs that I have lost affect the different parts of my body??? Well here are the results: Reductions of 1” off arms and 3.5” off thigh circumferences. Waist has reduced by 4.5” and hips 4”. My chest measurements are 3” less when measured underneath, and 4” off when measured both above the chest and across the nipples. I know that my body has changed but I didn’t realise by how much. What is strange is the last 7lbs I lost reduced my waist by 2.5”, and hips & chest by 2”. Who would have though that 7lbs would make such a difference. Is it any wonder how my clothes don’t fit when I put on weight.

Hi all

Weighed in at 142.4lbs yesterday morning and 141.2lbs this morning. Aim is to get down to 140lbs by 1st June. Keep up the good work Tanya and enjoy your break Wyogirl.

Tanya sorry to hear about your friend, it must be hard for you. Death puts everything into perspective. We should be happy with what and who we are. Our weight is only a small thing. Wyogirl don’t worry about the weight until your better. It’s more important that your ankle heals properly. If you put up a few pounds on so what, I’m sure once you are better you will loose them again. It’s hard to do anything except eat when you are sitting down all day. Maybe have a bunch of grapes or some other fruit on a table near you so that when you get the urge to eat, then it healthy fruit you eat and not chocolate. Try also the have small snacks every few hours so that your body doesn’t have the chance to get hungry. Try to of keep your spirits up. Get better soon.

Morning

Down 2.4lbs this week. Started the week well but wasn’t very good over the weekend. Have 3lbs to loose over the next two weeks to reach my target weight of 140lbs. Made my homemade soup again last night and I’m going to eat this for lunch for the week. Its really low on calories, is full of nutrients/vitamins and best of all is very filling. How are ye all getting on?

Up 1lbs this week. Started off well but by day three I had given up and since then have been eating everything in sight. Will start again tuesday. 1tans enjoy the holiday.

Wekcome mlbaker1973. You seem to be having no problem loosing the weight 19lbs already this year is brillant. Dont worry about maybe gaining a bit due to your airport holiday. Im sure you will loose it quickly once you get back to normal eating. Anyway we weigh in on Monday mornings and post results if possible on mondays. Best of luck.

I don’t know how I didn’t gain more weight as I devoured load of chocolate and had chips, pizza and deserts every day. I didn’t deny myself anything. I was skiing for three of the days and went for walks on the other days so I suppose that must have burned some calories. Back to the Irish food now tho' so will have to take it handy.

Hi all, Welcome Tanya. Spend most of my time eating this week. Don’t know what’s wrong with me but I couldn’t stop at one biscuit I had to have the whole pack. Totally gave up trying to be good. What’s sad is the nice food things were not as nice as I remembered. Now that still didn’t stop me finishing them but its interesting the way I had made some foods in my mind out to be utterly fantastic and when I ate them they we only ok.

Was nervous getting on the scales this morning as I felt I could have gained about 3lbs so was very surprised to see that I’m only up 1lb (Now 146.4lbs).  Have started again this morning and hope to loose at least a pound this week. How did ye all get on?

Its been a while tikitas. We all struggle with motivation but I found that this time I’m doing it for me (no one else), so I can get back to being the way I was. I don’t know if I’m looking at the past through rose coloured glasses but I seemed to be so much happier when I was thinner. Not that I’m not happy now but I seem to have lost my confidence. What I find the hardest is when I weigh in and have lost some weight……… I go to work and am bursting to tell someone. I want to scream it out, but no one at work cares and why should they. That’s why this buddy group is important as only other people who are trying to loose weigh can understand what you’re gone through to loose that pound. Set yourself some goals and we will all try to do this together.

I lost 2.5lbs this week. Now 146.2lbs. I find that I loose the weight from Monday to Thursday and then its a matter of trying not to put it back on at the weekends. The goal is to loose another pound this week. Good work wyogirl you’re definitely going in the right direction.

Welcome Tina. Set yourself small goals, do it in stages like a goal weight of a stone (14lbs) and an achievable goal date of maybe in 6-8 weeks. Its not easy but I find that after a few weeks the need to always be thinking about food gets less. I'm here to help so don't be shy.

Down another 2lbs this week. Now 148.8lbs. Delighted to be finally not in the 150's.

Hi all,

I spent the past four days away from home staying in a hotel. I didn’t massively over do it and only had three meals a day and no deserts but I still managed to put on almost 3lbs. It’s very hard when you are not in control of preparing your own food. I’m hoping that its mostly fluid and that it will drop off once I get back into my usual routine. So I started again this morning and my goal for this week is to drop the weight that I gain last week this week.
