Thanks Northener!! I think I should give a mega thanks to Susie for her kindly letting me walk her so much!

She's clearly very dedicated to the cause and I bet she hides her annoyance at being asked for 'yet another walk' very professionally 😉
 
Hey AJ - thats a fantastic loss - i hope you are pleased.

That takes us to

Total Group Loss 2011: 2 stone 5lbs​

Anita - well done too. I am still on the christmas loss too - so not going to post anything until back under - it may take a week or too, but it will be worth it. I have a few medically things going on at the moment which are affecting my weight, but hopefully things will settle down after this mornings trip to gp and new meds provided!!🙂

Well done everyone! Keep it up!
 
Welcome back Lucy - we missed you!!

At the moment, on doc's orders, I am experimenting with different doseages of thyroxine; one day I take 125mcg, the next 100mcg and have written out a grid so I know what to take each day. Last Tuesday I took the full 125mcg in the morning and lost 4lbs that week, this Tuesday I took 100mcg and only lost .5lb. Don't feel there were huge differences in my diet over the two weeks so wondering if this is going to be an effect of the varying thyroxin. Will see next Tuesday when I again take the 125 doseage. I know when my thryoid packs in then weight piles on and they don't like you staying on a higher doseage than necessary as some people try to use it just to lose weight.

Just a thought.
 
2lb loss for me feel awful though but still pleased x
 
Brilliant steff well done

well done everyone :D I do my weigh-ins on mondays... but hoping for a little loss (a bigger one would be better lol)

Carol - it could be payback from the past - I have had that before and know how you feel - you know the story though - keep at it and it will be off when you least expect it!
 
Brilliant steff well done

oh thank you all such encouragement





hm

Steffie - I hope we haven't upset you. We have acknowledged your loss but maybe you just needed to give us more time to respond. As has been said before on the forum, we don't always post 24/7 and I don't always look in on the WLG 24/7 although I try to do it daily, which I did yesterday morning.

You are doing really well with your weight loss, so keep it up and be assured everyone in the WLG supports and encourages you. 🙂

And I missed that brilliant bit of news about the weight loss because for one reason or another, my login occassionally loses the details of unread posts (usually when I time out).

Don't take a lack of response as a lack of caring, Steffie.

I hope that you're feeling better quick.

I have a lot of weight to lose so am so glad that this forum has a weight loss group going on. I've lost 3lb so far this year. Lairy x

Well done Lairy x

Well done everyone.

I'm keeping a low profile at the moment, but had a nice surprise this morning when I tentatively stepped on to the scales. Despite a few excesses recently I was only 14st 2lbs. I was expecting much, much worse.

So, with my mojo (hate that word!!) restored, I'm back on the case and intend to lose those extra pounds before my next review at the end of march.

Andy 🙂

Good result Andy considering the time of year! Onwards and downwards as the saying goes...

well done everyone.....

I've been away in London for the weekend.... and although I didn't indulge in cake or anything else sweet and yummy I did have scrambled egg both mornings for breakfast and also had 2 small glasses of red wine with my evening dinner

the upshot is that I have put on a pound

so now back to being extra good

Only a pound on macast, I would call that a great result considering you have been away for the weekend! x

Think we were at 2st 1.5 including Lairy's loss ytd.

Back to my painful small losses - only .5lb this week. Sigh!

Marg, half a pound is still half a pound, well done. I know it can be dishartening when you know you have been good. Look at me this week I put on 1.5lbs and honestly dont know why! But I am gonna pick myself up and dust myself down and get back on track. All I can suggest is stick at it and good luck with next week xx.

I'ts been a while since I posted in this thread. I'm still losing the weight I put on before and through Christmas - I've lost 7.5 lbs since 1st Jan -but I've still got half a pound to go before I can count it as a real loss so I've not added it to the total.

Fantastic result Annimay, you will be back to your old weight in no time Im sure x

I thought that I had ruined my weight loss when I ate far too much after a low sugar yesterday so I was rather worried about standing on the scales today but i think that I was pleased when I found out that I've lost three pounds since last Friday:D

Well done AJ x

2lb loss for me feel awful though but still pleased x

Brilliant result Steffie, hope you feel better soon xx


Think I have caught up with eveyone, apologies if I have missed anyone out 😱. ONWARDS AND DOWNWARDS 🙂
 
Chin up Carol its probably just a blip xx

Carol - it could be payback from the past - I have had that before and know how you feel - you know the story though - keep at it and it will be off when you least expect it!

Thanks Alison and Lucy,

I know I will be okay just cant seem to break the 80lbs barrier... I have resisted the "sod it" urge so far 😉
 
Keep going Carol I have about 5.5 stone to lose and am determined to do it now thnks to the encouragement on here xxx
 
the support on here is amazing.... thanks you guys 🙂
 
Steffie - are you ok? Sorry if I missed your post and hope you are not upset with us all.

Sheilagh, I had already added my weight loss to the total, was just recapping and pondering on the thyroid aspect.
