Sunday Weighers... or is it only me?

[silly sausage]

Moz - you can rely on me Oooh snap! It is a bit cooler here today also. It is minus 12C at the moment and I am not tempted to do any housework at all

Chin up Smartie. That is a teeny gain - 8 ounces of feathers. You will lose it in no time x

....... and you could use those lost feathers to make a feather duster, and then do your housework with the aformentioned feather duster thus burning more calories et voila a stupendous weight loss will happen. It's all in the planning dontcha know!

SNOW, SNOW. I was talking about 'hoping for a huge dump OF SNOW' !!!!!!

You guys are so rude. Can't believe you are all discussing my bowel habits in public

Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine is going ok. Have a party tomorrow (1st of 2) but trying to decide whether to wear a dress (which I haven't worn for years) . I'm not used to showing my legs.........

It's cold here but nothing like -12. -7 is the lowest I've seen.

See you all Sunday (if not before !)

Oh my god, you guys made me laugh!!! Gail's last post about a heavy dump of snow was just priceless....!

Well, I hope you're all having a great week - I'm having a tough one, and am expecting a poor Sunday, but am going to do my best over the next few days to make up for it. And if I don't post results on here, please please kick my butt and make me be accountable!!! I think these next three weigh-ins are really important, not for the actual numbers (I mean, seriously - that's not the issue!). What's really important is for me and others like me is to not give up and promise ourselves we'll start again in January. I know that's my big weakness, and of course Monday/1st January/1st of whatever never really comes. We've all come such a long way now, and I am so keen that we all keep hanging together throughout the holidays and into 2011.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a terrific week - they have send the army in now to clear our snow, which is just fabulous; I was hoping to get my very own soldier delivered to my door to do my bidding, but that hasn't happened yet. I'll report back if he does arrive...;-) x

 

[silly sausage]

No worries Honey. I promise to give you a flying-ninja-bum-kick if you don't post on Sunday.

See you all on Sunday :gen126:

Sorry I've been quiet for a couple of days - most unlike me, I'm a chatterbox Had a few health dramas with first my m-i-l over her treatment, I won a battle with the hospital pharmacy and felt truly heroic .... and then later in the day my OH had a seizure at work so it was back to hospital. He is on the mend now and wasn't a bad one so hopefully will be fit as a flea in a couple of days. Through it all I've stuck to plan though so if I don't get a loss this week I will be truly miffed.

Everything else is fine and dandy but somewhat hot! Time to start crossing our fingers that the weighing-scales god will look favourably down on us all! If I'm not back before then, then see you all on Sunday!

 

[gl12282]

So sorry to hear about both mil and OH. Hope they are both continue to recover.

But WELL DONE you for sticking to plan. That is fantastic. Fingers crossed for a good result on Sunday. Thinking of you.

I'm absolutely dreading weigh in this week
I know I'm going to have gained and unfortunately I don't think I'll have such a good attitude about it this week as I was hoping I'd manage to pull my finger out a bit more and actually do something about it.
I've just been so tired and cooking has become a real chore :cry:

 

[silly sausage]

Aaaww Moz - what a ton a stress for you. Best wishes to you and yours x

Hey Emma - a new of job and Christmas looming - it takes it out of you. Post even if you have a gain as it means you are still on plan and still mean business

 

[gl12282]

I have to tell you all that I have had 2 fantastic days. Had to share it with you (sorry !)

My first party yesterday - didn't have the courage to wear a dress (and in hindsight it wouldn't have been right anyway) but had a few lovely comments about my weight loss and then today at work, I saw a few people that I haven't seen for a while. Had 3 independent comments from people who hadn't noticed so far saying 'have you lost weight ? You look really good'. One who stopped and stared at me and it was the first thing she said (as well as 'you've lost LOADS of weight'). I was SOOOO chuffed ! So big smile on my face. (and one on them said 'was that deliberate ?' !!!!!! Obviously that comment came from a man but the fact that he noticed was nice !)

Anyway, I am very happy !

Am working this weekend so probably won't have time to post on Sunday morning but will turn up like a bad penny as usual sometime later on ! So don't worry about me.

Thanks all. Fingers crossed for you all on Sunday (for whatever you hope for). And big hugs for you Emma as you're having a difficult time at the moment.

[silly sausage]

Wow! How wonderful Gail! You must be on cloud nine today after all those lovely comments

I had a bit of a wagon fall last night (gin and honey roasted cashews) after a particularly stressful day at work Doing my best to limit the damage today by planning a zero syn day and trying to cram as much SS and water into the day.

B: Beans and mushrooms on toast (B)
L: Superspeed soup
D: Quorn Thai curry and basmati rice (B)
Drinks: Decaff and water (A)
Snacks: Melon, melon, melon, melon, melon....

Good luck everyone!

Wow Gail that's terrific!!! All those lovely comments - I bet you felt fantastic! That's really great, and so well deserved!!

 

[Honey39]

Hey Emma and Ozzie, sounds like you've both had tough weeks - am really hoping that things have improved and you're both having a lovely weekend!!

 

[Honey39]

Good luck with the Syn free day, silly sausage, it sounds really nice! I've had a baaaaaaaad week this week, and am wondering how much I'll gain. I think 3 lbs. Tell me I cannot gain the whole lot back in one go!

But I've bought stationery - sigh. I love notebooks and paper, and went to paper tiger today to buy a small robust shopping list style hard notebook, and I'm going to use it to track everything I eat for a while, including water. So thats the plan for the next 100 days, will see how it goes. Maybe I'll forward plan a little more too - plan each day with a variety of good choices?

Really hope you guys are having a food week. Am not looking forward to tomorrow but will 'fess up no matter how grim it is!!

 

[Sparky67]

Good luck for tomorrow everyone...

I've had a good week sticking to plan, but I don't think I have shifted much - I think I haven't been eating enough even though I have been on plan 100%. It's hard to try eating more when you're not losing because everything tells you to cut back, but I think I need to do the opposite!

See you all in the morning!

 

[gl12282]

Morning all,

I'm posting first because I have to go to work :-(. It's not normal to be up at this time on a weekend !

Good luck everyone for today. I have lost 2 lbs this week which is fantastic after a STS last week. Have xmas party this week but I have been out for plenty of meals since I started this so should be ok. Fingers crossed but would still be happy with STS for next week all the same !!!

See you all later.

Gail x

P.S. Hope Ozzie is ok. She would usually have been here by now ??

 

[why_d]

morning all

well done gail!

a STS for me, but after a big loss last week that's normal for me so happy enough

 

[silly sausage]

Another STS here.

My sneaky peek records show that I did lose during the week then blew it and climbed up again to square one. It is now apparent that I cannot carry forward syns and use them weekly. I will have to use them daily or lose them.

This week will be 100% every day! A last boost before the Christmas nut-fest! Go me! arty0011:

Well done Gail - a loss after all those lovely comments is the perfect end to your week. Nice one Why_D. Bet there is a big loss for you and me next week!

 

[elb4160]

STS for me too this week, which I'm actually pleased about considering what I've been eating this week (canteen sausages and chips one day and a couple of take aways )
I was really good yesterday though and have made a big batch of veg soup so that'll definitely help this week with lunches at work. I don't care that I'll be eating the same thing for lunches 4 out of 5 days if it helps me with a loss next sunday!

Good luck to all to follow and well done on no gains so far guys!

[Honey39]

Okay, I'm here, and I'm about to pass out with surprise - I have lost a pound this week!!!

I totally anticipated putting on weight, up to about 3 lbs, so this is the nicest surprise ever. Am totally shocked by this, but it's given me a real boost, and that's great. I think I always weigh 'high' which helps (i.e. if it's not clear, I take the higher weight and lower weight loss, I err on the side of caution), but maybe this week hadn't been so bad. It *felt* bad, but there you go.

Thank you so much for all the lovely encouragement and support - this group really is important to me! I'll post more later about other people, but thank you!! It was absolutely crucial that I weigh-in no matter how badly I've done, and report here. Yay! I have a huge smile on my face right now...
