January 2009 - Starters

[PurpleButterfly]

it's weird the way our brain works sometimes isn't it! It's like where you feel you've lost nothing and you've lost a big one, or vice versa!

I'm feeling slimmer this week so I'm hoping it's not just my brain messing with me. But pete said on another thread & I'm going to steal it, as long as you're lighter than last week that's all that matters.... And you will be lighter.

Hello all,

I can't believe I don't have enought time to post on here. I thought I would be serial poster!!

But anyways, I am absolutly fan-daby-dozy. I feel great. I have lost another 3lb this week so that makes a total of 21lbs in 3 weeks. I must admit I was a bit gutted at only 3 but then i thought about how much I would have lost on SW and that number would have been on a good week.

I really can't believe that I am fiding this so easy. Although if someone is eating something in front of me that is really nice I can't help but think 'Oh can't wait to eat that when I can eat again!' I am just a bit worried that I will go back to my old ways once I have finished. Hopefully when I have finished I will be able to control myself more and only have a small amount of something I like instead of eating until I feel sick. Is anyone else feeling like this?

Like Daisy, I have been taking weekly pics with clothes and fortnightly pics in underwear. I will start to post them now as you can really see the difference. Don't think I am brave enough to post the underwear ones yet tho.

Hello to all the newbies. I am sure you will find all the support that you need from this forum invaluable.

Well done to all those great losses again this week girlies. We will be slim come summer!!!

Sorry for such a long post. Updated list below.

21lb in 3 weeks though SexyBecks, it's fab! Wow, that' a hair off a stone and a half.

Well done; and 3lb is a good loss because it's the average for women right?

 

[catgirl]

just did my first bit of proper exercise today - rowing machine, 30 mins running and a quick swim. quite hard going at first - it felt like my legs were made of lead but the endorphins started to kick in and i feel great now! it really helped to get rid of 'brain fog' too where i just wanted to curl up and go to bed before.

not noticed feeling any hungrier - in fact now feel very full after a soup but i did notice feeling a lot hungrier in the first week when i had just done some swimming. will have to see how i feel tomorrow though. i don't mind too much if it slows down the weight loss - tighter muscles and healthier lungs have got to be a good thing.

also there is something wonderful knowing that as you are exercising you are burning off pure fat right from the start!

 

[daisydoll]

7304 steps so far today - just walkedfor 40 mins.

are the rest of you wearing your pedometers?

becky, well done!

[somewhere_inside_is_me]

I think I'm the wrong shape for my pedometer! I don't (yet LOL) wear jeans or other hipster trousers, and my (elasticated) skirts still tend to drift up to under my boobs because of my sticky out tum! And so the steps don't seem to register.

However, I do walk the dog for about 40 mins a day, hope to increase that soon, so I think I'm close-ish to the 10,000 steps.

 

[PurpleButterfly]

I didn't get one *sniff*

 

[EmVeg]

I think mine broke a little - it really rattles, and after a hour long walk after a day at work I was up to 200 steps!

 

[daisydoll]

that doesn't sound right emveg - take it back.

pb ask your LLc for one next time - you should have got it in week 2

i got my dvd and excercise band last night too - have you got them yet?
daisy x

 

[PurpleButterfly]

Well she kept quiet about them til last week when someone asked, and she (quietly) said they'd be here next week or something.

 

[daisydoll]

done it 10,000 steps at last!
did an hours walking on the wii fit - its quite good you can watch telly at the same time

[JessicaL]

Our LLC is a nurse so she did our BP and will send the forms to our GPs, so that saved me making an appointment.

Dentist today...

 

[daisydoll]
