Starting January 2011

Well I weighed today. I didn't get to keep all of that 6lb, but I have lost 3lbs officially this week, so I am still exited. I treated myself to 4 new dresses!! 3 don't fit ( But I know they soon will and will try them on next month and see how I'm doing. This weekend has been amazing, ive been very active with walking and cleaning, and finally got to dance yesterday. It was so nice being complemented by all my friends on how well I looked in my slightly slimmer frame, I'll never get board of complements *8:o) Now I'm going back to sleep, to see if I can get more than 8 hours and burn extra calories the lazy way. Hehe

I started on january 13th. At first I was not so convinced about the help I would find with MFP. In less than 2 months I am completely excited. MFP makes me understand what I'm doing and supports me to hold on. I find it rather easy to reach for my goals now. I can recommend the help of MFP to anyone out there who is in doubt!

Welcome to this thread and congratulations on your loss so far. I agree with you and I couldn't had done it without the support too )

@Rachel thank you! I had a really fun time with my friends and well done on your loss!! 4 more pounds and you've lost 2 amazing stones )

I had a sneaky pre-weigh (becoming a habit I need to stop LOL) and no weight loss. I'm putting this down to having take out 2 nights in a row and 1 day of over eating at the beginning of the week. I'm pleased that I haven't put anything on!! And fingers crossed I lose 1 pound by Sunday (official weigh day).

I had my weigh in earlier this evening.... lost 2.5 lbs....!

Well done on your weight loss! Don't worry about the morning evening thing. I always weight in the morning, because I know I'll weight more in the evening. It makes sense, our body is holding in x amount of water, 3 meals and snacks! If you were to put it all on a scale it's bound to weigh a good few pounds )

Well, I'm up 2 pounds this week and I'm not surprised! My frozen yoghurt intake has kept my sugar and fat in the red. Not only that, but eating all my excersize calories has left me feeling heavy and making other parts go in the red too. Not to mention having take out at the beginning of the week seeing my sodium go in the red by over 2000. On top of that, I've been stressed about my move and I know from my studies, that stress causes your body to hold on to fat because that basic flight and fight response. So all this has contributed. I have to severely reduce my frozen yoghurt and not feel like I have to eat all my excersice, although recommend. I intend to have a big loss next Sunday and enjoy my new home!

Rachel well done on your loss and I really hope your mum starts to feel on the brighter side soon! )

I hope everyone has had a good week. x

Well, I've been doing well! I lost the weight I had gained and more! I'm not looking forward to Sunday weight in, it's the week before TOM and I'm spotty and hungry. Yuk!! Which means, I could be heading for water retention city. Hopefully not )

@Rachel Congratulations on loosing 4lbs!! And being the Biggest Looser! I'm sorry to hear that your mum is still poorly in hospital. Hopefully you find time to get full meals and keep safe.

How are all of you?

How's everyone doing, how's your weekend?

Well I'm slowly settling in to my new home and unpacking. I'm please to have lost 3lbs this week, that's my biggest loss since my first month on MFP. A went to lunch with my friend yesterday and made sensible choices and stayed well within my calories. Friday I had a big eat, but could only manage half of what was in front of! My body and brain are working together to keep me healthy ) I'm hopefully going to find my tape measure and update my measurements. It's been a few weeks, so there should be a big difference. I'm only 2lbs away from loosing 2st and 10lbs away from being out of the 200's!

TOM is looming for the end of next week, so hopefully I'll still get the 2lbs loss I want. Also, I have a girls' night out Friday night, I plan to have a big eat then, but I'm hoping I can encourage them to go dancing afterwards. If not, I'll have to do some PS3 Move dancing or something. Saturday, I'm meant to go on a pub crawl, I'm going to try to get out of it, but my boyfriend is keen! I may just drink diet Pepsi and Coke and hope no one notices that I'm being health conscious. I can't have two big calorie nights in a row just before my weigh in and during TOM!!

@Rachel I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. You've been doing so well, you're bound to be the Biggest Looser!

@snockers3112 Oooh, well done on your loss! I want to join you on your challenge, I really want to hit the two stone mark too. And hopefully by the end of the next month, be out of the 200's!! I shall add them to my signature. We can do it )

@gailygail99 Well done on your loss so far, 38lbs is an amazing amount!! And welcome to the thread, come back and keep in touch 8:o)

@madmaz99 Congrats on your weight loss! Any loss is a big step in the right direction. You've lost 23lbs and that makes you amazing and a hard worker, because no one did it for you, it's all you!! So well done you ) 22 inches is fantastic! That's why I love to measure as well as weigh. I know how you feel about the whole excersice thing. I'm a single mum to a 4 year old, my mum has him every other weekend. Playing and dancing with him, and housework are my main activities. Or when I go out with friends', then walking. I'll have to look up your gadget, sounds interesting and hope it works for you!

Good luck all x

Hi everyone! This weekend is looking better and better. Today is my planned big eat, but the girls want to go dancing afterwards, which is great!! It means my big may be cancelled out by excercise. Also, I managed to get out of the pub crawl. The thought of all that drink just before TOM and the thought of loosing my 2lbs challenge, made me want to cry (metophorically speaking) LOL So fingers crossed I have no water retention, or anything else to stand in my way.

@Rachel Thanks so much for the wonderful message and congratulations on winning the Biggest Looser!!! You truly deserve it. Enjoy the new TV )
