Well done notso - what an achievement and as you say, achieved by averaging less than a pound and a half a week! Just goes to show all of us that when we only lose a pound or so we are still winning the battle! Don't despair raggymac and granb as it will happen!

Weighed yesterday at my usual Sunday morning time and sadsadly I have put on just over a pound. This was over a period of two weeks though as last week I didn't weigh as I was busy collapsing with my stupid little health problem smile. I am pleased to say that I hope I am over it now but seem to be left a bit washed out? I didn't do any of my gym/swim sessions last week either. I am due to go tomorrow but will see how I feel. I will probably go as I am sure it will do me good but I will be sensible as don't want to hit the deck again!

I am ok about my slight gain as I have had two naughty weekends too - (Hubby's big 60 celebrations last weekend and Mothering Sunday and visitors yesterday) so I am considering myself lucky that I didn't put more on!

Good luck fellow losers grin

Congrats to all you "losers".

Despite walking, cycling, skiing and not drinking wine (well not too much anyway) have actually managed to put on weight!!! Did come home from holiday to letter from GP asking to phone about thyroid function tests - have TSH level of 54.34 .... hmm I think that's going to be my excuse.

A quarter of a pound off! Hardly anything, but at least it's OFF!
Notso - you have done so well! You must be so proud of yourself. An inspiration to us all! smile

Thank you for your kind words ladies! Couldn't have done it without the support of glass and everyone else on this thread. So flowers to you all!

Just had a twiddle with my calculator, the weight I've lost averages out at 1.3 lbs a week. So when you're feeling a bit fed up because the weight seems so slow to shift, just keep remembering that even little bits eventually add up to a big bit! grin

Good luck everyone!

Notso what a great achievement - you really have shown us how it should be done.

I weighed myself when I got up and have lost nothing, but it was one of those days yesterday, passing round chocolates, drinking wine, lots of nibbles and home-made cupcakes made by little hands for their mummy, so I think in a couple of days I'll have a more realistic view of things. I really don't feel like eating much other than soups and fruit today - can't cope with excess these days.

Notso 4stones is an amazing amount to lose. Well done.I'm up in Scotland this week and no access to scales. Probably as well as red wine and chocolate and local ice cream have been big components of my diet. Guess that I'm back to where I was a month ago before I was ill. Time to dust off the discipline.

Morning everyone.....lovely sunshine chasing away the frost here.
Well, after a couple of months of faffing around since Christmas, I finally feel I have my diet head back on again and I've lost 3lbs this week.
That takes me down to exactly 4 stones less then when we started this thread on 30th May last year. I still have a good way to go, but not as far as I've already been! smile
