IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, try try try again and again (and again...)

You're all right of course, and I'm happier still today (with 14lbs in not quite 3 weeks) - just that I'd made a lot of effort on the food/behavioural/exercise front last weekend, yet gained 2lb on Friday's weight! I'd be better not weighing again on a Monday methinks cos I had a miserable day!

Speaking of which, here's hoping today's less manic at work...
A+

Great weight loss, Jo. That's 14 lb in less than 3 weeks - amazing!

Hope work is less busy for you today.

 

[grovergirl1]

Brilliant news Jo!

That's an amazing result, you must be chuffed to bits.

ooh! Slinky you!

 

[anjuschka]

Wow Jo it's great to see your outstanding progress - you'll be joining us on strict Conso (sans Galas) yet!

Have a good Friday and Weekend in the country (I am assuming you're off later?)

 

[dukandebut]

Less than a stone away from target now, Jo! Not too much farther to go!

 

[LVLLM]

Jo thats fantastic well done. so so pleased for you and yes only under a stone to go!

 

[jaqys]

Jo thats brilliant. Nothing like a good loss to keep motivation high (and the kick of ketosis to help the willpower ).

 

[scrumper]

well done me lady , told you you would be catching up on me !!!!

 

[Emmma]

Good work Jo, that's a fab result in just three weeks! Only a few more weeks to go then for you!

 

[Maintainer]

Thank you all. I'm nearing the stage where I always get stuck now... so things will be necessarily more difficult. So long as it doesn't rain, and I can keep walking each morning, I'll hang in there!

Conso? <sticking fingers in ears so can't hear you... la la la!>

Oh and none of my jeans fit. So I can't stay at this weight. Gotta be down, and the larger ones can be packed away...

 

[LVLLM]

you will get there Jo

 

[BREN]

Jo great loss! We might both reach conso at the same time? I am looking at maybe changing my goal soon though to 146 ish? Not sure.

Yay for smaller jeans!!!

[LVLLM]

lol thats what i keep doing bren!

 

[Maintainer]

Been there, done that, didn't work for me (well I got there... for a day!) but might for you!!

I'm not looking far ahead... "one day at a time" as alcoholics say.

I'm sadly happy cos I just checked the RT online TV guide and a series I really enjoyed last time is back on C5 tonight ("Ice Road Truckers!"). For those of us who thought we drove on icy roads last year, this is amazing!

Oh and they're mentioning SNOW again over here... hmm...

 

[kidsmademefat]

well done Jo, thats a great loss in such a short time.

 

[Maintainer]

Thanks kids, but my increase in 12 days was pretty stupendous also!

 

[kidsmademefat]

I hear you there. Everyone else on conso seems to be doing so well but everytime i eat something bad it goes back on. Im just so glad it comes off easy when you put your mind to it.

 

[Maintainer]

I was just like you in Conso... so the mere thought of going through that again puts me off ever arriving! I certainly need a long slow carb reintroduction after trillions of years of alternating dieting and binge eating.

Do you have a heavy diet history too Kids?

 

[LVLLM]

Jo no not snow! yes ice road truckers is great - you say its back on tonight?

 

[kidsmademefat]

before the kids i was only ever within 10kgs (ans usually 5) of what i wanted to be so crash dieting always worked and sometimes i would even go to the doctors and get diet pills, although i dont know why they would have given them to me.

I always believed i ate "healthy" but now when i cook for the family and i do roasts with either potato bake, or cauliflower cheese and the roast vege, or i make schnitzels or pasta i see that there are many calories in each and every meal. My hubby is 6'6 and can eat whatever he likes and its only since i have been with him that i put on well over 10kg. still i am blaming him lol
