Think I have the date right this week.

Hope you have all had a good week, look forward to hearing from you all. smile

no change - zilch, nada - still 9st 1 lb
but no gain either. Think the weather is not conducive to either extra dog walking or giving up certain foods. smile

Marelli Mon 21-Jan-13 09:06:14

Seem to have stayed the same sad. I'm needing to get out and do some walking again. Pure laziness on my part, as DH walks every day.

Joining the 'no loss' club I'm afraid ladies (oops and gents if we have any male losers! blush)
I am very sorry to say that I have let you all down and put on just over a pound angry this week - put back the pound I lost last week.
To be honest I am not entirely surprised (but still very cross with myself) as with the weather being so foul I have gratefully accepted any lifts to and from work that became available - I am sure that makes a big difference as it is a mile each way to and from work.
I have also succumbed to comfort eating as it has been so cold and miserable.
Roll on February and March and the arrival of spring - I always find January a very 'blue' month and, like Mollie and Marelli have already said, we need half decent weather to go out walking.
I don't mind how cold it is but I HATE the wet/damp!

Can't weigh myself properly as we are at DDs and I can't read the non-digital scales! But hoping that the absence of Christmas chocs and the inhibiting effect of DD's and DSiL's presence on the wine consumption will have been beneficial smile

Grannylin Mon 21-Jan-13 09:50:30

Yes, it's strange how they turn into the wine police isn't it!confused

After 3 weighs this morning I have decided to take the middle reading, which means a loss of 1 lb, but I do have my doubts as to the accuracy!

gracesmum Mon 21-Jan-13 12:12:00

Phew! I seem to have lost the 2lb I "gained" last week, but as I haven't done anything particular to warrant it, perhaps last week was a fluke reading. Either way I am way over weight and something must be done

Notsogrand Mon 21-Jan-13 13:14:11

I've lost one pound since last week. Not a lot...but going in the right direction.
The very cold weather makes it a bit trickier to avoid 'red light' food doesn't it? Off to prepare lunch and put it to the test grin

Good luck everyone!

oh phoenix I know that feeling so well. I always, not surprisingly, take the lowest number, but why does that happen? I am not weighing in until Wednesday so don't know what's happened this week.

Tegan Mon 21-Jan-13 14:26:31

65 instead of 66 [and I was wearing heavier shoes today] but that loss is just due to getting my eating under some sort of control. So want to go out for a walk somewhere [suffering from terrible cabin fever but can't face walking on slippy pavements].

glassortwo Mon 21-Jan-13 16:11:04

mollie marelli it is difficult when the weather is so awful to drag yourself, hope we have a better week weather wise so we can all get out and about. sunshine

sba we all have weeks like that when we want to comfort eat, knowing you you will bring it back into line next week wink

jane grin oh dear the wine police DD take that role on very easily, they do seem to have short memories dont they grin

well done *phoenix another 1lb gone smile

grace once you see it start to move it gives you a boost.
notso the weather makes you crave for stodge doesnt it, well done.

tegan 1 kg even with heavy shoes fantastic, taking that first hurdle is the hardest I think once you get started its so much easier to be firm with yourself. I have had cabin fever this afternoon after being snowed in most of the day, until a nice young man came with his JCB and cleared the road, so I have been out and cleared the drive and tried to find the cars, then pulled DGS on his sledge so I hope that goes towards a little loss tomorrow when I get weighed.

This weeks total 6

Total to date 1 stone 8 1/2lb

Sbagran Mon 21-Jan-13 20:13:03

Well done losers,

gracesmum Mon 21-Jan-13 20:14:46

It's funny to be proud of being called a loser grin

baubles Mon 21-Jan-13 20:46:59

Stayed the same, was doing ok until the weekend when the cake monster in me came to the fore AGAIN!!

Riverwalk Tue 22-Jan-13 08:20:53

I'm down 2lbs smile

Have religiously stuck to the SW regime, but due to the weather haven't done much walking.

Kali Tue 22-Jan-13 08:28:56

No change this week and not much point in leaving it until later in the week as too many events this week sad well done the losers smile

mrshat Tue 22-Jan-13 12:31:40

O dear - I gained the half pound I lost last week! Blaming the weather (and my lack of self control), what else is there to do but nibble when you are going cabin crazy and can't get out! Had a couple of glasses of wine too, so have broken 'dry January' - my excuse? I needed some for a recipe and could not throw out the rest now, could I? grin. Good luck to those still to weigh.

glassortwo Tue 22-Jan-13 19:00:21

I cant get off the drive again for the snow, so cant go to get weighed (should have gone this morning)so I will plumb for stay the same as cant guarantee my scales so I will make the difference up next week.
