Monday 12th November weigh in.

Celeb try My Fitness Pal as I think it will suit you as you are used to writing everything down - it will tally up your calorie count and tell you how much more (or less) you should be eating. A lot of us are using it including me!
If you need help let us know and Good luck!

I logged in very late last week on Friday when I got back and declared a loss of 0.5lbs. I don't know if that was counted?

I've lost another 0.5lbs this week. Very slow but at least going down.

celeb quick come in............. its doesn't take much to push us over the edge does it, a lecture on top of your other problems. But well done 2lb off.... you can tell the Dr you have started on the right road you can do it we will help.

still going back to writing down all I eat!!!

lost 2lb in last week (put on 3 last weekend) so quite pleased really. GOT TO KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually lost very little this week, only about 1 lb, but I had been waiting for a couple of weeks to go over the 'magic number'

wheniwas congratulations that's an amazing loss, Happy Birthday for later in the week enjoy your treat and give the diet a miss while you are away
granjura well done in breaking through your target you must be feeling on top of the world. not sure how many kilos you have lost this week, probably very obvious and I am blind.

digby I am so proud of your loss well done, phoenix might give you a treat for doing so well.

pud well done 2lb, its even better when its unexpected.

sba bread does that to me bloats me and makes me retain weight, red wine has the same effect. I bet it does the usual and will show in one lump.

This week 5.48 lbs

Challenge to date 34.28

For me I was 19 and just had glandular fever! I looked terrible!

spagran - the last time I was under 8 stone I was 23, and had been breasfeeding number 1 DD for about a year - the weight just dropped off me, and I was too thin. Got pregnant soon after, and never lost the weight the same way after number 2 - although I breastfed her for the same amount of time. No way do I want to go back to being a size 10- I'd look haggard.

Sorry, missed another week, but I can report a loss of 1.1kg over the past 2 weeks! That was a nice surprise this morning, although part of it may be because I have an empty arm, having been to Blood Donors yesterday... However, as I have a birthday and a few days away with Mr When for a bit of self-indulgence in the eating and drinking department this week, I expect it to be reversed by next week .

Good luck to everyone this week

Thanks - well I am one of 'them' furiners who weigh themselves in kilos, lol.

Phew Granjura you made me very when I first read your post as I thought you had gone from 9 to 8 to 7 STONE - mind you that would be TOO light! Well done on another target reached though! I agree re not being underweight as we get older - we need a bit to survive on!
Thanks Pud for your encouragement re the bread - just an experiment as I do seem to retain weight when I have 'bready' weeks even though I stay under the calorie limit. I am of your two pound loss - well done you .....
and of course well done Digby!!!

Done it - got to my next target. It took me a loooong time! I started 4 years ago with a number that started with a 9, than an 8, now a 7 -
Another 1, to 1 and half stones to go, or 10 kg- to a comfortable 14/16 size.
I used to be much slimmer than that, but I think I'd look haggard - and being too thin when older is not safe.

A neighbour gave me a pile of magazines, the equivalent of SAGA mag in the UK. A very interesting article about being under-weight post 70 being far more dangerous than being a bit overweight. Even with a minor weight loss of 1 kilo per year (2lbs)- this can quickly add to being dangerously underweight over a decade (=10 kg= 1 stone and a half approx) with little chance of ever re-gaining sufficient weight to be healthy. My parents were both perfect weight at 70, and had never been overweight, but they both were bags of bones by the time they died. So a bit of reserve is good for you beyond 70, honest.

Digby seems to have lost 2oz, but I can't be totally sure as his tummy was obscuring part of the display.

Pleased to report a 2 pound loss this week. Not sure how I managed that!!good luck with going bread free Sbagran don't think I could do that

I can start the loss total this week glass with a loss of 0.6 of a pound (arghh!) but at least it is a loss.
Like last week I was really good keeping to MFP but I have a theory that perhaps I am eating the wrong calories
Seriously - I do find that when I have bread the weight seems to react so this week I am going to have a bread-free week to test it out!
Over the last couple of weeks I have had to have sandwiches on occasions - always healthy ones - but nonetheless bread and have lost less than a pound both weeks.
This week I will be bread-free and have crispbreads or rice cakes just as an experiment [saint emoticon] ?
Won't keep that up forever though as I do my my homemade bread!
Good luck fellow losers!!!
