Well done Lucy.

I achieved something today that I haven't for a very very very long time..........a bought a size 16 pair of trousers.................yessssssssssssss:D

well done sheilagh sweet xx
 
Well done Sheilagh - great feeling isn't it?
 
Well done sheilagh 😉

I went to the hairdressers on saturday I haven't been in about 3 months and the first thing she said was have you lost weight you look thinner than you did the last time I saw you 🙂
 
I bet you gave her a nice big tip Emma. Thats fabulous.

Well, I might not be losing a lot of weight, but yesterday I was very much aware that I probably need to start wearing a belt again on my trousers as they were feeling very loose! After diagnosis I had to wear a belt at the sixth notch I was so skinny, now I need it at one notch...!
 
Now thats the kind of NSV I like. I am having a similar problem with my tennis skirt - which although made of lycra it really does feel its going to end up around my ankles!

So Alan, make sure you make that hole really soon, or your trousers could end up in the same place.

I think with all the exercise you do, you must tone up! I can't imagine you ever putting weight on the amount of miles you do!

Well done, heres to the second notch!

Alan's trousers around Lucy's ankles???? That makes an interesting picture!

I think that we need to set up an 'Unsubstantiated Rumour' thread! :D

Sounds like fun to me (so long as I'm not implicated in any of them).

Andy 🙂
 
I gave up on that tennis skirt a long time ago. I've got the legs, but not the hips! 😉
 
Oh Anita - so funny!
Oi Andy - no rumours! I promised Northerner I would keep the skirt a secret as long as he returns it!
 
Thanks everyone. Well done to Alan and lucy 🙂
 
Ok, no weight loss. Scales say 2lb heavier even grrr :(


But ............. this morning I had to put my bra on the 3rd clip, tightest one. always before on the first. Its gotta mean something eh? 🙂
 
That exercise is paying off then Tracey - well done!
 
Ok not weighed myself as I cant exercise, grrr 😡 but hoping to have a walk on my treadmill shortly.

But........... my belt is now on one less, thats 3 since i started this in September!
 
Brilliant Tracey, thats a good one! I bet you feel better for it. I would keep that belt as a reminder of your loss! I am thinking of starting a measurements thread in January too, so we can all put our cm losses each month as well as weight loss - after all losing those cms are what it is all about!

Well done:D
 
I had a stonking row today (i.e. in a stationary 'boat').

I was pootling along nicely on a 10km row when I realised that it was going very well and it would be a shame not to take advantage of the situation. So, I increased the effort gradually until the end and had the nice sight of breaking the 35mins for a 10km row for the first time ever (the previous best time was 35mins 8.5secs on the 27th May).

The new best time is ....

34mins 56.4secs

I'm quite pleased with that, I am! :D

p.s. No cramps at the end either!
 
Thats brilliant Andy.
