Mcnlloyd hope you feel better soon hun you and your daughter,

Redkitty how are you, I'm lucky as usually once i'm asleep nothing can wake me (except my kids) even the earthquake couldn't manage to wake me

Hi all

just bumping this up to keep it going and to see how your all doing, been a while since i've been on and 2 pounds has snook back on tho I stopped smoking almost 4 weeks ago so i'm not gonna be too hard on myself just get back into it, joining the gym next week see if that ups my motivation.

Hi all finally managed to get the phoneline fixed and internet back so I can get back to logging in everyday, I've been bad while i've been away and gained back 2lbs but on a good note I stopped smoking almost 4 weeks ago now so the extra couple lbs doesn't bother me too much.

Hope your all doing ok

Hiya Cat and Maria glad you have joined us. This place is amazing I always manage to find the support I need whwnever I need it. 

Emily congrats on the new job, hope you enjoy it. Must agree I'm not a morning person either but have to get up at 6 am to get kids up and out to school.

Doing my measurements on Monday and looking forward to that my weigh in this week cheered me up too lost another 2 lbs bringing me down to 180 which is the lowest I've been for a few years.

 Good luck to everyone

Hope the move goes well Lilsmiter that sucks them doing that to you glad you found somewhere else tho.

wait til your stress levels go down before worrying about your weight I know if I'm stressed my weight suffers for it.

computers playing up this week but hopefully it will let me stay on long enough to say Hi to you all. Did my weigh in yesterday and I'm now down to 180, 2 lbs down this week.

Hope your all ok and will stop by for longer when we get PC fixed

Hi all thanks for the encouragement ladies was looking in the mirror this morning (something previously avoided at all costs- especially naked) and I can see my waist again LOL its still huge but I can see a definate sip between my hips and boobs where there hasnt been one for a very long time, I'm so happy had to share it with you all.

Zulu I tried that pilates vid on you tube and OH MY GOD!!!   I can manage the controlled roll down but cant for the life of me roll back up again, not looking as easy and graceful as she does anyway so looked a bit of an idiot doing it but I can feel that somethings worked my muscles feel tighter already.Think I might need to find an easier one to begin with tho.

Done half an hour of step and gonna fit in another half hour before kids come home.

Hi all hope you all had a good weekend.

I had my eldest daughter down to stay for the weekend so wasn't too shocked that I didn't lose any this week but at least I didnt gain any either.

We got back late from picking her up at the station so we ended up with a Chinese takeaway, then on saturday it was my sons birthday party and even tho I thought I had done ok I did eat over my allowance that day, then on the sunday we had to have her favourite roast chicken dinner. That and no exercise all weekend so whatever I may have lost up till Friday obviously went back on over the weekend. Anyway new week new start.

Hi Alicandra, I had a bit of the flu the other week and it was awful, but I was lucky as when my BF caught it from me he had it 10 times worse LOL not sure if he actually did or if it was a case of manflu but he was certainly suffering.

Hi Spirtey, really hope you do get to say that I'm hoping I do too. Am aiming for 10 at first then once i can see what that looks like then I'll decide if I want/need to go any further.

Redkitty Finally the sun is out over Leeds today but unfortunately not sure how long its going to last, watching the weather reports this morning and it didnt look too good, hope its nice at the weekend its my sons birthday and I would just love to be able to let them all run riot in the garden instead of the house, But with threats of snow again this weekend it seems unlikely.

Hi Jan and welcome back to cc, and well done for maintaining while you've been away. Fingers crossed for the better summer.

Vanivilli, That holiday sounds great, always wanted to go to Rome so I really hope you have a great time, And good luck for your restart on Friday.

Well my new step aerobics DVD's arrived this morning so I cant use the weather as an excuse not to go walking. Although I have actually got to the point were I think I'm enjoying it. I haven't been going for the 2 miles during the day but instead I've been doing it on a night with my daughter so the dvd's will help me get that little bit extra. as its been so long since I last did Step I'm starting off slow and working my way up. Never would have believed it possible for me to become a fitness junkie but hey you just never can tell LOL

Hi all hope you all had a good weekend.

Zulu glad your back on the wagon LOL. Only had a small loss this week 0.5lbs but not too upset as it was my TMOT and to be honest I was expecting to gain, and I have managed to lose another half inch from my waist, not done the rest of my measurements as not meant to do them til next week.

Went shopping this afternoon in Leeds was chaotic as usual, but managed to notch up a whopping 14,500 steps on my new pedometer today LOL. took daughter on a 2 mile walk, she wants to lose some weight too, think its the best way for her to do it without her becoming overly worried about her weight, which I dont know what that is as she will not get on the scales bless her. Hopefuly just being more active will change her complete mindset (those who've read my journal will understand lol) Anyway hope your all having a good weekend 

Hi lady your almost there dont worry about it too much, you'll probably be there next week. Was 182 on monday and not weighed since then so hopefully will be almost in the 70's too by this monday. Its my sons birthday next saturday and i'm hoping to have had a noticeable loss by then, but probably no one will either notice or comment on it LOL.

Well done Nasuoni think it makes all the difference when you feel comfortasble round others eating and not feel forced to eat more than you need to. I'm just getting to that point now and I feel so much happier in myself.

Hi deely. Hope your weeks going well and i'm always here lol if you ever want to have a rant or a chat. Hope your feeling a bit better about things now and dont worry about your lack of support at home you'll get plenty here.

Zulu it will be the first time the scale has read 12 st + and I've been happy about it LOL. mind you thats only because I've avoided scales for so long. Glad my measurments have decreased too as I cant see any change yet.
