Well done Shopaholic and Dizzydi 🙂
 
Hi All,

I have my weigh in today instead of tomorrow in about 1/2 hour. Its been my birthday this week and quite a bit of celebrating but tried to be good and if not good have really upped my exercise. I feel okay but am slightly nervous as I promised myself I wouldn't put on - the PT set the target at 3lbs but I didn't think it would be realistic for this week - will let you know how I get on in a bit, 🙂 Please cross those fingers and toes for me🙂

Hope all goes well Lucy, and you are pleasantly surprised! 🙂
 
Well I am absolutely gobsmacked!

Despite my birthday I have managed to lose another 2.5lbs which makes a total of 18lbs in 4 weeks and 61lbs sinced diagnosis!!:D😛

The only obstacle is I am working away in London next week so need to make some very good choices.

Total Group Loss 21 stone 9lbs

Brilliant! Well done Lucy! 🙂
 
Well done Lucy and you will probably make good choices down in London as you are more aware of food now.
 
Thank you everyone.

Yes Margb - I have ordered ahead for breakfast and lunches so I can't change my mind.

Just dinners to get through and should be okay.

This is presuming I am well enough to go....
 
For some reason I've got my days all muddled up this week and forgot to weigh in yesterday (life is a bit busy!). So I did it today instead and have only lost half a pound - probably my worst week yet! I think I've been under-eating and definitely sitting on my bottie too much, but we're away next week which will encourage me to be more active! Onwards and downwards 🙂

Little bit disappointed as it's 15 weeks since I started and my first target was 2 stone by the family wedding we are going to tomorrow...and I'm a pound short. But not bad going, and very steady losses so sustainable. My next target would be another stone by November, I'm very excited about the 3 stone mark as it will be noticable (although I'm getting lots of comments now🙂).

Anyway enough waffle, to the figures:

Total Group Loss 21 stone 9.5lbs

Well done Twinkle! To be just a pound short of your target is amazing, so be very proud of your achievement! Hope you have a lovely time at the wedding, and I am sure you'll get lots of compliments! 🙂

Don't forget to add your 1/2 pound to the total.🙂

So you have! Sorry Twinkle not quite with it today!🙂
 
Weighed in yesterday and have lost 3lbs this week🙂, making my total 10lbs! My hubby is supporting me and has lost 5lbs so am pleased with him too. My teenage daughter is home from a week at my brothers and will join in as I'm cooking and buying the same for all of us!!

Dietician appt was last week and she was laughing at the fact I know all the theory (yoyo dieter for the past 30 years since the age of 15!), just need to put it into practice for life and not just for 3 months which is when I normally fall off any diet I'm on.

Well done Twinkle - it's definitely showing on you! Enjoy your hol this week!

Total Group Loss 21 stone and 12.5lbs

Woohoo!!! Well done Shopaholic :D Great to see that hubby is getting the benefit too, so well done to him fr supporting you!
 
Well done Shopaholic - a great loss. I find it easier since my hubby is eating healthy with me although he is allowed treats as he is perfect weight.🙂
 
Well done Shopaholic 🙂
 
4 lbs off this week 🙂

Maybe the gym is worth it after all 🙂
