Onwards and Downwards November 2012

[AB Editor]

Hello all,

Onwards and Downwards welcomes any new members serious about losing weight and having some fun along the way. Please share your high and lows with us and we will support you.

Anyone managed to resist the Halloween treats? Don't suppose the kids wanted a banana instead did they :-).

Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!

Here is last months thread

[glasman]

Sorry, wrong thread.

[wendilla]

Well done Lynda you seem to be doing the right thing . Well done.

Sorry xstitcher, just seen your question. Won't be able to wobble for about 3 months so will just have to rely on the diet. Going to be difficult when I won't be able to weigh myself but will try and be good.

[xstitcher]

Whoopie, down 2 lbs again. This is getting to be a habit which I quite like. I wonder if our bodies loose weight easier at different times of the year. Fingers crossed that the scales will be kind to the rest of you.

[xstitcher]

You have done so well Jan. Now you have just a week to go before your op and 3 months without the scales. After you come home and the post operation feelings are over just try and keep on doing what you have been doing so well up until now, minus the wobbles of course. You could start now making notes for yourself about things you may forget later.

Well done xstitcher. I think our bodies and have rest times are periods of weight loss but eventually get going again. Its certainly been the case for me after not being able to move anything during Sept/Oct, November has been extremely kind to me. Maybe its the shift in weather and the body storing up for winter, but thankfully mines decided to risk it again and let go!

I have lost another 3lb this week which makes me half a stone lighter than I was at the start of the month. I've had a few naughties too, (a scone with a friend and a danish pastry at a breakfast meeting yesterday) but I've not allowed them to ruin the week altogether and got back on track soon after.

Soup without bread? I never thought I'd be able to do that, but its a winner!De-lighted.

Good luck to you all and onwards and downwards.

[Old_Geezer]

Down 1lb.

[Old_Geezer]

Congrats gals.

[boxtops]

I've stayed the same, but I've been away for a few days so that doesn't surprise me.

[spotit3]

Congrats xstitcher, maidup and OG on your loss and at least you haven't gained boxtops. It's the naughty step for me this week as I have gained a lb. I can't seem to get back on track but will try hard this week. Seem to have heard that remark before!!

[wendilla]

Well done Maidup Spotit a and OG
You and I gained the same I am not surprised the amount of med and cough sweets I have downed.
Boxtops better to stay the same than gain.

[wendilla]

Well done Xstitcher and my above post should have said spotit for her gain . Got mixed up .

[daffy654]

No weight loss for me this week for some reason. I'm not too worried though as I had already hit my 8 lbs loss for the month last week.

[Jan1957]

Oh dear, naughty step for me too I'm afraid as put 2lb on. First gain for a while so not too bothered and think the hospital food next week will probably help lose a bit. Got to weight myself tuesday next week as go in first thing wednesday so will try and be good this week to get that 2lb off again.

[xstitcher]

Well done all who have lost and don't loose heart those who have stayed the same or put on.

You just concentrate on getting through the op and home again Jan. That is the most important thing for you for you to do. I'm sure everyone joins me in wishing you a short hospital stay and speedy recovery.

[spotit3]

Hope and pray all goes well for you in hospital Jan and you are soon back with us.

[Marijn]

Half a pound gain for me. Hope all goes smoothly in hospital, Jan.

[spotit3]

You will be company for me on the naughty step, notafish!

[Marijn]

Yes Spotit. Hopefully we'll be back in the good books next week :-)

[Jan1957]

Thank you all for your good wishes. I hope to be back with you in a couple of weeks.
