Monday 25th February weigh in

Thanks glass hope shift at leastb1lb this week!

Good morning all, sorry I have not been around much last couple of days had a busy time was at the Marie Currie Ladies day yesterday, hope I have not blown my chances of the two awards I was on track for this week, but never mind I enjoyed it, I have an ear buzz on this morning how annoying is that when the music deafens you.

celeb remember that ditty I posted a few weeks ago about everyone's journey taking a different route and to maintain is an achievement in its self, life doesn't
Stop because we are trying to loose weight

sba congratulations on your retirement, have a relaxing holiday and we will see you when you get back.


this week 6.5lb
Challenge total 2stone 8lb

Congratulations on your retirement, Sbagran! Hope you enjoyed your celebration. Enjoy your week and we'll hear from you in due course [chocolate!]

Hi Glass and all my fellow losers! Just to let you know that I won't be reporting my weight on Monday as I shall be away on a short break to celebrate my retirement! I retired at 1pm on Friday and celebrated with chocolates and wine then more chocolates and wine
Next week will be my last week of 'time out' then I will weigh next Sunday (10th) which will be the starting point of Mission Weightloss!
I know I am back over the 11stone mark and I want to get to about 10:7/8ish. It's not a lot to lose but it's always the last few pounds that are the hardest isn't it
Well done to everyone for sticking to it this week and good luck to everyone in advance for next week - I wish you all loads of success

Hope that goes well move

Tegan no, I think the cough is a cough, standard sort. I'm fed up with it keeping me awake so am going to pharmacy to see if they can give me something to stop it at nights. On my way I am going to the supermarket! OK that doesn't sound exciting but it will be the first time my back has allowed me to try it so far this year. If it hurts I can always go back and sit in the car and leave it all to DH but I am in a positive mood.

Sorry glass have been busy last two days and forgot to post. I have lost the two pounds I put on on holiday. So ten stone eleven,I think the next stone will be very slow to come off!

Stayed the same! Oh dear must try harder as away fol weekend but relieved not put on!

Total weight loss incentive jan 9th 11lb slow but steady!

mrs hat almost there well done I am heavier in the morning, so always get weighed in an evening

bez its hard to get back into it when you have had a gain, but fantastic loss.

tegan is your Ribeana sugar free?

This week 6. 5lbs

Total to date 2 stone 8lb

I gained weight the last couple of weeks but today had lost two of the pounds put on - still about one up though from my lowest this time of trying!!

Hello - I lost 1lb this week bringing me back to 13 stone and half a pound. If I lose another pound next week I will be below the 13 stone marker! However, I do wonder whether the time of weighing is making a difference for me. I always weigh first thing when I get up. However, the earlier I get up, the lighter I seem to be. It was 7.30a.m. to day but 8.30a.m. last week .....................Ho hum!

Not missing the bread at all but unfortunately my tummy doesn't seem to be flattening down which usually happens when I cut out the bread. For some reason I've started to drink lots of Ribena at night [about 2 pints]. I know I should drink lots of water throughout the day but it doesn't seem to slip down the way Ribena does [still; better to have plenty of fliuds, I suppose]. Moved; so sorry to hear you're still in pain. For some reason I'm always suffering with aches and pains and suchlike at this time of year [it's beginning to follow a pattern]. This time last year I had awful pain in my legs [got worse at night and I was taking codeine to sleep] but one day it just stopped. Lets hope the same thing happens to you. When I had trouble walking completely a few years back I lost weight by making chicken soup with lots of garlic, herbs and spices; I stuck to it because I felt it would help my joints but my resolve isn't so good these days. I almost feel as if my body is crying out for exercise but can't do it and, for some strange reason I've been wanting to have a sauna [haven't had one for years]. Might the cough be a reflux problem?

Thanks glass, back has improved but still have a lot of pain in my hip down to my knee which is apparently part of the same issue. I wake up, think I'm OK, but once I have walked around a bit it is quite painful. I have a physio appointment but not until 25th March! To top that I have now got the seocond 'smoker's cough' this year! I don't smoke. It serves me right for boasting about how healthy I was at the end of 2012.

Agree,you good at this encouragement lark glass!

Thats what your syns are for, its best to have a little of what you fancy before you crave it so much you fall off the wagon ... big time

Wow! Weakened today and had very small bar choc!

sba you are doing fantastic to still maintain, I was not aware you were retiring, but I may have missed it. Your week away is something to look forward to for you both. Dont worry about nagging my DH insists I have a degree in the subject we will get you back to your target for July.
when to maintain feels good when you know that it could so easily have been a gain.
grannylin I thought that was you in Windermere lovely getting to visit the new baby, but managing to lose with a wedding thrown in too, must have been the walking.

Total to date 2 stone 5lb

movedalot I have been away for a while and no, I didn't know you were in such pain, you poor thing. You have done well to lose that weight, keep it up but be kind to yourself and get better.

Hello everyone, I am back Some of you will know I have been having a bad time recently with acute back and leg pain so I am ashamed to say that I continued to put on weight even after the Christmas festivities were over. DH kept cooking comfort food and bringing me nice things to cheer me up which was kind of him but didn't do my weight any good.

Last week I got back into the right mindset and back onto MFP and have lost 2.6 lbs. It is going to be a hard slog as, although my back has improved, I still can't even go for much of a walk so exercise is still out of the question.

Well done the losers and good luck to those who haven't.

I think I may have lost one of the pounds I put on on holiday but I will post tomorrow. Dreary weather here is making me think of eating, so I must gird my loins and venture forth into the gloom and do some chores, post office etc;
