Monday 16th April weigh in

gillie just keep at it

grannyk you have got the dress, you have got the incentive so a few weeks of being careful will be worth the effort

Can't believe I actually forgot to post after I weighed myself earlier in the week. Obviously in denial as I have now gone up to a pound above my target weight after going down to about 5 pounds under it when I was ill However , I have finally bought the dress for the wedding I am going to in 3 weeks time, and while it is ok as it is , it will look even better if I am a pound or even two thinner. It is hanging in the doorway on the way to the fridge just to keep reminding me of this fact .....!

Well done, glass. I am feeling a bit despondent as I stepped on the scales today and discovered I have put on 200 gr, and I have been so good and exercising so well. My husband repeated the mantra, "weight loss is not linear", but it doesn't help me. Ah well, all I can do is to carry on and hope for the best.

I have lost 1 1/2lb so I am pleased with that as I have not been 100% committed

Welcome Taffy. Look forward to chatting with you

Taffy welcome to Gransnet nice to see a new face.

Morning all, just joined this morning, looking forward to seeing the rest of the site, I too am determined to lose some excess weight, just joined Weight Watchers on-line, so here's hoping. good luck to all

I'm camping this weekend with about 2 dozen family members, many of whom I haven't seen for several years/four and a half stones ago. So that will be good!
but....
It will be impossible to stick to my proper eating plan when camping! I've been stressing about it, but finally decided to just go with the flow of all the meals that have been planned and prepared by others for us all to share.

So this is by way of an advanced confession ...... I shall be straying! Hopefully the inevitable weight gain will be minimal, and once I'm back on here next week I'll be back in control again

No access at all that is disgraceful, our local pool is well equipped... how about a leisure centre they usually have a pool, even 1 hour a week will help you. Sorry I dont want to look like I am not pressuring you

Disabled access at my local pool is non exixistant! Anyway I work!

jeni can you swim, as thats one of the best exercises you can do and you dont damage anything as the water takes the impact?

No exercise!
Fed up
Come fine weather and not so feeling tired and down will probably improve!

jeni its something you are doing or not doing, have you checked what you are eating and the quantities. It could be something as simple as the spread you are using or too much milk. I will help anyway I can, PM me if you need to.

I can't understand it! This morning 13 5! Why give up! I'm fat and going to stay so!

Oh hope you feel better tomorrow grannylin

Thanks S and g, its lingering but I've discovered a new diet: porridge and Pepsi. ..its all I feel like eating and I've lost 3 lbs. No doubt it will all come back with my appetite!

sew I think thats a good result after being away hope you had a good time.

Oh no. Got back from Scotland last night convinced I would have lost loads of weight. Walked a lot and been really careful with the eating. Half a pound off. Disappointing but at least it's too wet to get summer clothes out! Grannylin hope you better.

grannylyn hope you are over your bug

golden great its off again, well done.

Back to ten nine, so lost 2 pounds I added last week!

Can add violent sickness bug too for instant weight loss....also not recommended! to susie and grannya

susie another one off, you are so nearly there. Its to be expected when you can see the finishing line just up ahead for you to be a tad bored with it all, but keep at it

You've done so well, susiecb - no wonder you're flagging a bit at these last few pounds! You'll have it off before the summer begins, without a doubt. You're an inspiration to us all!

Another pound off this week and now only nine to go but I am getting quite grumpy and tense about it. I have now lost over four stone but really need to get this last bit off to be a healthy weight for my height.

sba dont you rush into that Race for Life... even if you have to walk it !!!!!

grannya not a recommended form of weight loss hope you are fully recovered
