I’m a pear !

Oh well, up 2 and a half pounds lol, I thought it would of been nearing 4 so can't complain...all my own doing. Hope to have that off by next week.

It’s a walk not a run

Don't worry about it Shirley there is always next week, and you have to live a little!

Oh fab nankate. sounds lovely.

Got weighin later...am not looking forward to it as went out for a full blown meal Sunday and made chocolate fondants yesterday, wanted to see if it melts in the middle....and it did...lovely it was too...so, I will face the music later......

It had 30% off too ?

Yes I did buy the jacket. It’s a soft jersey material in blue, just right for the Spring. DH bought me a lovely brooch recently which will go nicely on the lapel.

That was good nankate, bet you were well happy with that comment!....did you buy the jacket??

Ooh NanKate how lovely. Such a confidence boost.

Good idea GrannyI it’s great when suddenly you realise your clothes are getting looser.

I was trying on a jacket in Laura Ashley yesterday when the mature (experienced) assistant came up to me and said ‘you’re trying on the wrong size you need a size smaller’! I realised then out of habit I went for my old size not really believing I could fit a smaller size. I bought the smaller size ?

NSV, tried a smaller 18 (why do M & S vary) and managed to do up the button. Zip no, try again in a couple of weeks. At least I can get them on/up with a wiggle or three ?

Stayed the same this morning so I am ok with that.
I am losing it slowly (in more than one way haha!!!)
Good luck to everyone as we start another week.

I am with SW Nankate, it works for me (sort of), but am always interested in other people's approach to diet etc., (just call me plain nosey)!

We are a small band of losers Old and have stuck together for 10 months. We have a goal of getting slimmer and fitter, sometimes we win sometimes we don’t but at least we keep going.

My own take on losing weight is that I am on a healthy eating plan, most of the time, and this is for life. A diet usually is for a set amount of time. We all have to choose our own path and there are no rules or regulations on this thread.

Onward and downward ?

I always feel encouraged to stick to eating plan whenever I visit this post, weight goes up and down, like most folk I suppose.

Keep going Dontask. Glad you are feeling better.

Over a stone in 6 weeks, congratulations

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. Felt really down with various cruddy things going on in my family and then the fibro flare up, but now feel much better, so thanks again.

Am very happy after weighing myself today. I have said before it depends on where I put the scales as to what my weight is - old Victorian house with aged dodgy floors - but since being weighed by the GP on Jan 17th I've lost either !st !lb, 1st 2lb or 1st 4lb. I'm going with 1st 4lbs!!!

Seems like I've been dieting forever but actually its not that long and still a long way to go. Aiming for another 2st 6lbs and I'll still be fatty fat fat but I'm a realist! I'll report what I am in about month so keep everything crossed for me please

All the best to everyone

Yes, this is true nankate.....I can't complain.....
Haven't measured myself granny, clothes do feel loose ????????

How many inches though?

It’s still down ? Shirley. ?

Lost one pound this week.....slowly and surely....was hoping for two and a half as I been strict this week.....funny how it pans out...

Don’t focus too much on the scales, I read that if a fat cell gives up its fat it replaces it with water for a while. What about NSV’s are your trousers getting baggy in the bum, not so tight to fasten, spare material in your bra, even no loss on the scale can show in inches or cm for the younger among us

Are my scales allergic to round figures ??? They seem to like 0.8!
After a 0.8 of a lb loss last weekend I have had another 'dodgy' week with two lunches out so I'm not really surprised that this weekend I have another loss of just 0.8!
I am happy with that because any loss is a loss - I am just impatient but am telling myself that if I lose 0.8 of a lb every week it is good.
Hope you are feeling better dontaskme - pain puts you off everything doesn't it.
Good luck everyone - onwards and downwards!

Thanks guys, yes, I do feel better also I think clothes look better on me too.....have 2st 2 lb to go to target weight .
Hope your fibromyalgia has settled dontaskme

It's very good for new knees Kate, strengthening without weight strain. Best not to go first thing in the morning though when the early birds are ploughing up and down before work!
