October Weight Loss Challenge - All diets welcome

[kathryn johnson]

Big hello again, thanks for the welcome dextermummy... I was watching for a couple of days before I got the guts to jump on board! It is really working being part of this, the grandkids were here yesterday and I didn't sneak any sweets! Everytime I've wanted to eat off plan I've thought of posting my weight, so thank you everyone.

Hello Kathryn, know how you feel about being around the pool. We were in Greece in May and I felt like an elephant so wouldn't sit in my cozzie, I nearly melted!! I'm sick of my clothes being tight! Where were you in Cyprus?

Good luck everyone with the losses, I'll get weighed again on 17th

HI, i stayed in Protaras near Larnaca - 8lbs loss this week, 1st week on WW - so happy

Wow! Brilliantly well done Kathryn! I reckon I'll be gained not lost when I get back on the scales. My eating is out of hand!
My next door neighbour lives half of the year in Paphos. If I could live anywhere in the world I'd have an apartment in Staalstradt, Amsterdam.

 

[Tibbs]

So surprised, I've lost 2lb!! Not much but I was expecting to have been putting a plus on there!! I nearly gave up last night. Plus I'd forgotten I'd said I was getting weighed and had ate breakfast! Considering I lost 2lb when I got weighed on Monday too I'm super happy I am so pleased I joined this group... Thanks everyone for keeping me on track and well done with the losses everyone X

Hey guys. Well done on all the fab losses ladies.
I'm having a crappy day. Went fir my driving test this morning to find it'd been cancelled . They'd rebooked me for next week which I cant do as my instructor is on holiday. So now ive rescheduled for December. Grrŕr!!
Was seriously tempted to dive into the biscuit tin when I got home but was good and settled for a coffee and a cereal bar...for now

Hope everyone elses day's are going better.

Just reposting the list to update @kathryn johnson 's spectacular loss.

Ive been learning for about 2 years (on and off). I failed 4 tests last year and then took about 8 months off. Im not a terrible driver, I just suffer so badly with nerves on the test that I do stupid things. My first test I sobbed quietly to myself the entire time. Pretty pathetic really. I have to pass before Feb otherwise I have to sit my theory again. Aargh!

Did you pass first time @cynicalgirl ?

Bummer about your test being cancelled!
I've failed 5 times due to nerves, each time for something stupid.
You sound determined, you'll do it X

[dextermummy]

Hey @Tibbs It's amazing when you speak to people how many took multiple attempts. A friend of mine took 7 attempts and swears he only passed the last time due to half a spliff and a couple of fingers of whisky. Tempting
Are you passed now?

@cynicalgirl - I'm hoping it doesn't come to switching coz I actually really love the physical act of driving, gears and all, and manage it fine just not under test conditions. Besides it would mean finding a new instructor and I adore my instructor to pieces. Happy you passsed second time

Haha! Maybe if I'd had a spliff I'd have passed! No, totally gave up. It got to the point where people were asking if I'd failed again not had I passed! I wouldn't care but I wasn't too bad just a bundle of nerves with an examiner sitting next to me.

 

[gudetama]

Well after a week where every time I checked I had gained (and I don't know why) I am thrilled to weigh in at 92.8kg this morning. Recording as a STS/maintain as I can't cope if I start recording my weight and losses to .1 accuracy.

 

[buffy3256]

Wow! Brilliantly well done Kathryn! I reckon I'll be gained not lost when I get back on the scales. My eating is out of hand!
My next door neighbour lives half of the year in Paphos. If I could live anywhere in the world I'd have an apartment in Staalstradt, Amsterdam.

I lived for 8 months in Amsterdam last year (was sent there for work). LOVE the city.

Fab loss @buffy3256 One weigh in left for October, you'll smash your target!

Off to Boots to weigh in ina few. Had a few naughty days this week so hoping for a sts -who am I kidding, I'm HOPING that all the bad food has worked some amazing magic on my metabolism and I've lost a stone - but I'll take an sts .

Be back soon x

Fantastically well done dextermummy X

 

[Tibbs]

A big well done to everyone on the challenge

 

[TwoWardrobesMarie]

Losing at such a slow pace! I walked miles and miles last week and only deviated with an eggcup (not an ostrich eggcup) of mushy peas with a couple (truly a couple as in three!) chips by the cold seaside. Once.
Not going to hit that 12 pounds target but determination hasn't decreased!
I have done this so many times I wonder if my poor body isn't fed up (no pun intended) with it all.
Still, onwards and downwards. Keep going all challengers!! xxx

 

[Tibbs]

Hmmm, no excuse other than I went totally off track and have eaten too much, so didn't make my target as lost nothing! Still happy as at least I didn't put any back on.
Big well done to everyone else X
