Well , the weekends out of the way and things are still looking good according to MY scales.
Even my OH is trying to lose with me and is doing well although he doesnt have much to lose. Hes very supportive which helps. He doesnt judge me if I have a little treat now and again whereas he did before I lost the nearly 2 stone over that I was

well done everyone. think of those summer bikinis ,not for me though , I have never been brave enough even when I was only 8 - 9 stone :>)

onwards and downwards

It's good to hear an encouraging voice at this stage two days before W day. Hubby has invited me out for dinner tonight soooooooooooo

How is everyone dealing with Valentines day today? It is a tricky one to navigate while trying to drop a few pounds (unless you're talking about cash of course).

I've only got 2Kg to drop until I hit my target weight, quite pleased with my current, moderate dieting.

well done AB. Im determined to get to my 2 stone loss and keep it off for my birthday at the end of this month
I shall be working until 8pm tonight, then home to bedas Im on early shift in the morning So no valentine supper. I did get a card. I wouldnt have got mad on valentines day before anyway. Just a nice home cooked meal and a glass of wine

[rowanwitch]

well done ...I will not be celebrating for obvious reasons.... but will be holding firm as weigh in is tomorrow... so will treat myself to a long rose scented bubble bath do my hair, manicure etc anything to avoid the Thornton that Housemate is sure to have bought as her little treat to herself...along with the rose fizz too many syns

[Marijn]

Well done AB ed, I have eaten too much due to Valentines day meal, so I will not weigh myself tomorrow. I'll weigh in next Wednesday when I've had a chance to lose something. Good luck tomorrow everyone!!

[wendilla]

MORNING ALL well after a few weeks of staying the same I have lost 1lb. Was hoping for more but it's ok as it's in the right direction.I needed the kick start and will be with my food angel again this week and push the food devil out of my mind. That's a good saying XSTITCHER you came up with about the angel and devil. I am back to what I was before xmas. 2 stone and 3 lbs loss since July. It's all Onwards and Downwards from now on for a stone off by the end of March.Hoping for good losses from you all.

[rowanwitch]

1.5 lbs at SW last night so thats a total of 15lbs after 4 weeks on plan...also bronze body magic (increased exercise sustained over 4 weeks) for those who didn't know now need to step it up a little for my silver. look forward to seeing how everyone got on Onwards and Downwards

[xstitcher]

Well done Wendilla and Rowanwitch. I have also gone down just a wee bit , but it is down despite my Valentine's meal so I am pleased.
Went for a drive to see the Almond trees in bloom.....what a sight with masses of pale pink that at a distance made the trees look like they were decked out in pink ostrich feathers.

[wendilla]

I HAVE TO CHANGE MY WEIGHT LOSS. I have just been up to get dressed and I went on scales again. As I have a digital scales and not seeing very well first thing I mistakinging read wrong .It was not an 8 it was a 6 . I even moved scales to make sure so I have lost 3 lbs this week . That was why I said I thought I had lost more as I went all out this last week to beat the devil. Good for you xstitcher and Rowanwitch. Keep going Onwards ans Downwards

[yinyang]

Morning everybody, and well done to you all on your losses - your food angels have been doing a great job this week.

I've lost two pounds this week, despite the temptations of birthday cake and valentines days, so I'm feeling quite happy about that.

Xstitcher, the almond trees sound beautiful. A good sign that winter will soon be over too!

[tiggerblue10]

Hello peeps, I've lost 3lbs this week which means I have now lost a stone since I started :o)

[wendilla]

Well done Tiggerblue and Yinyang it looks like Xstitchers angels are doing the trick..notafish I felt like that sometimes when I thought I hadn't lost but I had to know so as I could rectify it for the following week . You might get a surprise and stayed the same then you will really get off to a kick start.

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks Wendila and well done to everybody else who has lost weight :o) xxx

[TheOtherHalf]

Well done everyone. You are all doing so well.
I lost 2 lb last night. and got my gold body magic award. I want to lose 2ln next week to get my 2 stone award, as we may be going away the following week for my birthday.

onwards and downwards

[wendilla]

Well done Theotherhalf I bet you are feeling good now. Keep it up you see it can be done. Onwards and Downwards

[AB Editor]

[rowanwitch]

Just thought I'd treat myself.... have bought some new work out clothes and two pairs of trainers,, one pair for x terrain walking and one pair of those wierd ones that make you re balance all the time to tone and strengthen my legs

Onwards and downwards
