Well done on the loss absolutely fab :clap: I think keeping to the once a week weigh is a good idea - dont judge the quality of your day by the number on the scale - it is just a number and we will get there in the end.

Sorry to hear of your 'friend' I am sure she will realise what a silly thing she has done by turning on you, but sometimes we do turn on the people closest to us. You should feel very proud of yourself that you have been there and well done for not comfort eating - a hugh achievement

Yes the kitchen windows are a bit cleaner now - might tackle the inside next

Church was fine, I usually go every week it is a mixture of traditional and modern so great for everyone.

On the weight loss side - lost another 2lbs this week - so hoorah for me

Am back in work tomorrow afternoon so am chilling out for the rest of the evening.

Keep being kind to yourself and catch up with you soon.

:bliss::bliss:Well done great loss again

Ahh the days go quick dont they when we can relax,when are you off next? Oh your windows will sparkle ,Im cleaning tomorrow hope to paint next week spring cleaning too ????

I think we are both doing well and by christmas we will be slinky

Thanks for the kind words I'll shut up now.........I dont think the friend cares tbh she does it alot to people with her own admittance,maybe it will be best? Who knows hey
Take care and enjoy your evening a well done on the fantastic losses xx

P.S I am not weighing until the 19th lol x

Badda Man! Wan't me to belly bounce him for ya?
Have anothe great week. xxx

Now that is something I might pay to see

I've been thinking - not too hard - but thinking all the same. Being overweight has def led to me missing out on life in general. I have been reluctant to go out and just socialise in general, this has resulted in me not having any real friends. I have people I know but no friends as such. It is much more difficult to make new friends as an adult.

Since tackling the weigh issue am feeling more confident in myself, am more sociable when I am out and am refusing less invitations than before so another plus to losing weight

Well done on the rationing of the scales - sounds like it could be the title of a film

Have a great afternoon - hi ho its off to work I go.

 

[vicki_ww]

well done ladies feeling your weight loss vibes

 

[size102b]

Hope you feel a bit better after the other half making you cry - Badda Man! Wan't me to belly bounce him for ya?

As for your 'friend' - I wouldn't fret, she'll want you before you want her, I'm sure.
PS - Vanda is right... step away from the scales!

Thanks hun I always read your too....
Hes making me feel really low this week,is it me sensitive or maybe I realise he doesnt want what I do?He keeps saying he wants us all to be together fulltime but then answers to little things show he doesnt? The friend oh shes long gone now ,she does this to her mum too but a mothers love hey? I feel I have to find new friends ?
Hope your well thanks again hun and yes the scales hopping isnt doing me any favours xxx

Hi Vanda Im the same as you friends ask me out I say cant and then lose touch with them? Sad isnt it how weight makes us be lonely? Maybe we can both this year start afresh and meet new people and feel happy again?
TBH this is a bad week he is just saying one thing then deep down meaning another and thinks Im silly,I have completely lost my appatite :cry: I really am Maybe by christmas Ill be a new me and not such a soft person.....
mmmm those sacles well I will put them in a cupboard up high so I cant be ar**ed to keep getting them out.

I think you owe it to yourself to get out and about you are very empathtic and kind and people will be lucky to have you as a friend xx

well done ladies feeling your weight loss vibes

Hi Vicki how you doing?? Wondered where you were hun xxx

 

[vicki_ww]

Hey , i was still reading posts but feeling a bit beugh so dont want to pass on the horrid vibes to anyone.

Feeling more motivated now so will probably be about more, thinking maybe i should join a team for inspiration.

 

[vanda]

Thanks for your kind words.

It is scary how being overweight knocks your confidence. You are right this year is going to be our year, Repeat after me 'I must love myself more and accept more social invitations'

Funny how when I'm feeling confident and good about myself I can handle more stressful situations easier (not that I want to have many stressful situations)

I know its easy to say but try not to let the man situation get you down too much. Concentrate on you and whatever happens in the future you will be able to deal with. Look after yourself.

By the way being 'soft' is not a bad thing. You can be soft and strong at the same time.

Thanks vanda you always say things just right
I had a good chat with him clkeared the air and now just have to let my emotions take a back seat,at least I have stuck to plan no emotion/comfort eating .....
Am actually enjoying my treadmill now have noticed how I can now do 30mins at first I couldnt do 10 ,has been hard to fit it in in the girls holidays but I have and stuck to plan but have had under my points so I will have them over the weekend.
How are you doing? Have you decided how to socialise more? Its scarey isnt it but you are doing so well and the summer will be here soon
Hope your okay and thanx again xx

 

[vanda]

Good to hear you have cleared the air with oh lets hope things settle down for you. I think you have done really well to stick to plan though your low times. Thats when its so easy to go back to comfort eating so big well done to you. :clap:

Good work on the treadmill. I've been doing 15-20 mins a day on the wii fit. Not exactly over doing things but a start from a determined couch potato.

I'm great thanks, still feeling confident and positive. Have not sorted out the socialising yet . I do find shift work doesnt help but am determined to accept more invitations. I do go out occasionally with work mates and church activities, and have made a point of being more sociable at ww meetings. A slow start but a start all the same.

Am working my 3rd morning tomorrow so an early start for me. Hope things stay well with you.

 

[missybct]

Just wanted to pop in and say hello, sorry for not stopping past before! Well done on the loss this week lovely! xxx

Hiya Im glad your still positive and going well,times flown so before we know it ,it will be christmas hey
Well done on the wii fit I have told myself next week to do wii something when the girls are back at school.......I shell but I know how hard it is to make myslef do it lol
Yes you should go on church things be good and keep you occupied but as you say work I suppose is hard doing shifts to do things,also dont you find after staying in a loner its easier to stay that way?
I keep scale hopping it feels like totm ratty and grrr and other things I have a coil so never now know when it is but the scales havent moved all week and I have been 100% an star wwer and exercised every day so I hope its just totm?? I have 1lb to go to lower point so maybe its that if I dont lose I may just go down a point earlier what do you think?

Hope work went quick and you are ok xx

Just wanted to pop in and say hello, sorry for not stopping past before! Well done on the loss this week lovely! xxx

Hello thats okay,your doing fantastic well done you xx

 

[vanda]

Work went ok quite quiet really which is fine by me considering I got a good punch off one of the patients recently

I am working afternoons tomorrow, then am off Mon & Tues. I am intending to go to Brum to visit oh on Monday so have been saving points for the compulsory wine and kfc I will miss my weigh in on Mon but will prob be home in time to get to a class on Tuesday.

I do agree with you that after being a loner it is difficult to become more sociable. But I am on the fake it till you make it train at the mo. And at least no one else knows how uncomfortable I may find things at the time.

Step away from the scales :nono: What happened to the plan to hide them away? I would wait until your weigh in Mon before making any decisions about points for next week. A weight loss may await you. Try to stop worrying about next week and relax and enjoy this week, I would hang on to that extra point for as long as you can. We are going to be at this for some time so slow and sure is the way to go - lecture over :soapbox:

I am spending a chilling evening on the couch with the cat and tv for company. Have a good one.

 

[size102b]

Hi Oh Vanda thats not good being punched
I hope you have a nice time with OH how long does it take you to get there? Does he come down to you?
Yes the social thing Im not to bothered atm had a couple of 'friends' that let me down in the last year so feel happier alone and with my children but hopefully when I lose more weight I will want to go out etc?
I lost 1lb :cry: I know its good but I have been non stop last week and exercised 30 mins a day on the treadmill and drank fluids,and never went over my points at all........It could as I said be TOTM as I have been grumpy upset and achey etc lol so will see next week.
Hope your weighins good and look forward to hearing how your visit went xx

 

[vanda]

Good evening to you and well done on the 1lb loss atback: - I know you wanted more we always do, but be pleased with yourself you are doing great. I lost another 1.5lbs this week. We seem to be losing similar amounts, our bmi's are pretty close so thats prob why. I'm aiming for 1lb a week on average, I dont want to put too much pressure on to lose quickly so have picked a doable target - maybe you are expecting too much from yourself.

Night away went fab thanks. It takes around 2 1/2 hours to drive there so not too bad. oh said I am looking great so smiles all round He's coming to see me in a fortnight, I've got the week off cos its my birthday hopefully he will be here for a while cos the garden needs doing

Am chilling with one of the cats on the sofa for the rest of the evening. Back in work tomorrow afternoon so am taking advantage of the rest. Have a good night

 

[size102b]

Hi thanks Najh hope your all well xx

Hi Vanda Well done you great loss ah glad OH was complimentive he will notice the difference and you have done so well.
Yes I think I am hoping for higher losses as I always loss slow but best slow and off and not at all ........
I cant stop my scales thing so am just trying to use it to see what my body does lol DONT SHOUT ......
Ahh glad you had a nice time and glad hes down to you in 2 weeks ,before we know it summer will well and truely here ,this timenext year we will be flying towards the end hey
My OH hes desperatly trying to sell 2 houses ones been surveyed and a damp report needed which is odd as he had loads of work done damp last year so he really needs to sell it and waiting is awful.
Hope work goes quixk and you stay safe and well done again xx

 

[vanda]

Hello again

Hope everything is well with you and you avoid the scales as much as possible. Couldnt you set yourself a little challenge around the use of the scales - you know you love a challenge

Quiet times for me, nothing exciting happening. Plodding along as usual and looking forward to my days off.

I'm trying to sell my mums flat at the mo but not much moving in the first time buyer market. Lets hope things pick up soon.

Am having a lazy evening in front of the tv. Just had tuna steaks for dinner but have still got the munchies. Am distracting myself on here as have got 3 points left but i want to keep them for supper snack. I'm saving 4 points a day cos am going out for a meal on sunday and want to enjoy it with a fab pudding. I do have some ww sweets lurking in my cupboard for such moments so might dive in later.

Have a good one

 

[size102b]

Hi hope the flat gets some interest soon,lees had one house on for 8 months but its big so its I suppose a selected buyer as its got a basement flat with it hes had 3 silly offers so know its a waiting game.
Ive been cleaning today scrubbing carpets washing paintwork zzzzzzzz landlords here saturday and hes picky I have to resign as my 6 months are up,I did 30 mins on treadmill 9am then 35 mins at 4pm,I want to get into the 15s lol do you find it hangs around a stone barrier every time? Id like to be 2lbs lighter monday 3 would be very welcomed to get my 1 .5 stones lol

Hope you avoided the nibbles and had a relaxing evening xx

 

[vanda]

Good work on the exercise front as much as I hate cleaning I suppose its exercise of a sort and better for us than lounging around which is my preferred exercise to date although I have done 20 mins on the wii fit free step while watching Judge Judy this morning

I managed to eat within points last night had my late night snack as usual, to curb the munchies I dived into a box of ww 1/2 point sweets did the trick well as took some time to munch through. Am working this afternoon, have a good day.

 

[size102b]

Hello Vanda Hope your weekend was nice.
I had a peak at my scales and they arent being v kind so I am doing fast start at 20 points next week,I have done so much treadmill and house cleaning and have been so busy and stuck to points that I think Im going to start having 1/2 to 1lbs loss and I knwo we said its for the long hull but I think I need a 2-3 lbs loss now and again or will metally struggle ?
I am waiting for my nw scales as my daughters weight in the last 2 weeks hve been really low and shes stuck to it 100% and is very young and looks like shes lost weight so it maybe the scales?

How you doing all set for weigh-in?Are you going tomorrow or Tuesday?

Hope your ok xx
