Monday 5th Dec weigh in.

Oh yes its getting harder and harder. I need 1lb at tonights weigh in to get my stone awrd and I would really like another couple before xmas but lovely food is everywhere!!!

susiecb - good luck tonight, then! I have lost nothing this week....wavering back and forth, gaining a pound, losing a pound. Think I've reached a 'plateau' - or 'patio' as my friend's dad used to say!

I lost 3lbs last week, so feeling chuffed! I made a really big effort this past week, with extra exercise etc. so it's good when that pays off. (Have made just as much effort other weeks and lost nothing!)
I've just returned from my first over 50's Tai Chi class which was amazing. Very calming and restorative.
Good luck for your stone award tonight susie.
Keep hanging on in there green, you will get past your patio!

My goodness, Not so grand! You've done so well! (I'm going to use this smiley now): (I'm still pleased for you though! )

Wow notso well done, you should be chuffed with yourself.

green at least you have maintained, you will be able to dig that patio up soon.

susie good luck

Good luck susiecb really hope you do it. Lucky vibes... lucky vibes.... lucky vibes.... lucky vibes..... lucky vibes .....
What is the secret notso !!! really!

I have stayed exactly the same this week - as you all know I am relaxing until the new year but will continue to weigh in on Sunday morning just to keep an eye. Had first Christmas lunch yesterday and have the Coastguard one on Wednesday so may not be so lucky next weekend?

I am with you green I believe you do 'patio' (love it!) and sometimes when that happens I find that relaxing and possibly putting on a couple of pounds then making a concerted 'new start' seems to jolt the system back into losing so here's hoping the new year will do it again. I am planning to return to the leisure club in January and do a bit of swimming again so perhaps that will do the trick!

Meanwhile good luck to everyone

sba well done for maintaining. Christmas dinner is not to bad, its the Christmas pudding that will put a spanner in the works.

Thank you so much for the good wishes and they worked! Lost a pound so thats my stone I wanted to lose before Xmas just another couple to go before Xmas so that I can say I am in a different stone bracket (I am in the mornings on my scales but SW is in the evning on digital scales which differ by about 3 lbs). So looking forward to my husbands Xmas pudding and a slice of the cake I have made (no icing and no marzipan but perhaps a slice of cheese) then its push on in the New Year. I am aiming for a normal BMI for my bus pass birthday in 2013. Good luck to you all lovely ladies (and gents)

I knew you could do it susie congratulations on your stone award.

Well done, susiecb! If I could just manage a few more pounds I'd be within the right BMI range too. It appears I've shrunk by one and a half inches so my ideal BMI is now lower...AARGH!!! Anyway, onward and upward!!

Yes!!!!! Another half pound or so shed this week . Everyone seems to have done well too . Well done, one and all

Am hoping to keep going steadily down till the actual weekend of Christmas when I will relax . If I start relaxing too soon ( ie now ) I won't be happy about indulging when the moment arrives and I have every intention of enjoying it wholeheartedly !!!

Well done grannyK I agree if I started now it would take the edge off Christmas Day

OOps, didn't post last week and nearly forgot this week, haven't been on Gransnet, a bit of babysitting this week. Lost three pounds over the two weeks. Hooray!

Oh you HAVE done well, Goldengran! All the running about after the wee ones will have helped, too!

Hey golden go girl, what have you been doing that's a fantastic loss, whatever it is keep it up.
