2014 weight loss challenge

I have just been chatting with one of my Mum's ex-colleagues on email (Mum is now retired but used to be an MD at most popular recruitment agency in town - they got me all my jobs before this crappy one I am in) and she has shown my cv to a company locally (face to face she was that desperate to make them consider me) and they definitely want to interview me.

Meant to be a temp to perm role, I can't really risk temp though and she told them that so they may skip temp bit just for me if I pass the interview stage!

It's local, and pays almost what I get here, except I then wouldn't need to pay £210 a month for a travelcard or use trains! OOOOOOH!

Hi - :fingerscrossed: for the interview - that'd make a good difference to ur lifestyle and bank balance eh?!! And if ur anything like me - u'll do less comfort eating too!! Good luck!
 
Hi - a pound off for me - which I'm very grateful for after my v 'sociable' weekend!!Good luck to all who've not weighed yet - well done to the losers and :bighug:to the rest of u and good luck next weekxx

ive lost 2lbs :) it's. It's not on the list. Thanks xx
 
Well done on losses!

Wahhhh....spent whole night stuck on loo exploding.

Something didn't agree with me clearly. Sick day today until it stops.

Plus side, might find out today when interview next week will be.
 
Having finally got below 16st 3lbs last week I have been completely off plan. I had a very boozy weekend with accompanying late night eating and hangover eating and feel very hormonal causing me to want to eat lots! As such whilst not taking a "sod it" approach to things I am going to take tomorrow's WI with a pinch of salt. I will have gained, it was after a blow out weekend and I can address it straight away.

Well we've all been there and got several of those T shirts!! You're doing the right thing - what else can we do? You've nearly lost 10% of ur weight now - perhaps u'll feel that's a good target? Good luck for next weekx

Hi guys,

can i join you guys are is it too late?

believer77

Hi - I've added u to the list and recorded ur fab loss this week - u just need to add how much u want to pledge - good luck!
 
Been a busy week for me so far one Daughter doing her As's the other going for interviews so been doing lots of driving back and forth ! Don't know what WI will bring Thursday as I lost 3lbs last week which is a first for me so I'm feeling a bit nervous that I'll have a gain ! Think I'll try the scan bran challenge but will get these at group so will start on Friday . One last point I'm really enjoying my exercise at the moment but I loose more in terms of weight when I do less or none ( as I did last week ) I'm not going to stop as I've become more fitter and I look better for it not so quite so flabby :) My problem is this if my weight loss really slows or I gain weight I know that I wont want to continue going to group as it's a bit of a mental thing for me cause even tho I am looking better I still like to have a weight loss not yo-yoing :( Hope that last bit make sense and wondered if anyone feels the same ? Hope the scales are kind to you all have a good week x
 
Despite eating and drinking all the wrong stuff at the weekend my gain wasn't as bad as I had feared at just 1lb - I think maybe the fact that I cycle 10K a day helped work some of it off! Put's me back at the dreaded 16st 3lb mark - I am however running my race for life this weekend so it should be much healthier than last weeks.
