Good luck Irene :gluck. Keep us posted on how you get on.

Im not thinking that far in advance yet. Still got 8 weeks to get to my holiday target but will definitely think about FF if things continue to stall like they did last week and I start getting nowhere on a regular basis.

Not had a terribly good week after last weeks disappointing weigh-in when I tried so hard and lost nothing. This week, Ive used my full quota of syns each day so we shall see what happens. Not holding my breath for a good result. It hasnt helped that it was my nephew's 1st birthday and my sisters (twins) birthdays as well so its been lots of nibbles - pizza slices, cheese & pineapple, party rings etc etc etc :roll: Not had any birthday cake but might as well have I suspect.

Anyway, hope its a good one.

Hi Both,
Well nearly at the end of day 2 and it is hard - I am missing all the fruit I normally have in my desk at work.
Dramaqueen - in my mad moment I was going to compensate today by reducing my units - there is no way I could. I am glad I read your message. One week will be enough for me and if I only manage a few days it will be good. It makes you realise all about free food and I know it will bring me back into line regarding portion sizes and 'nibbling'
Sarah - I am going on holiday in 4 weeks and 6 days :) and I need to do it now as I have my mum's, sons and own birthdays in the 3 weeks before the holidays.
Keep me going girls.
Irene :P

Hello all :wave
Lost just ½lb this week. Not going to be disappointed, had a "synful" week and its better than putting it on after all :). Think things seems to be slowing down a bit. Might have to dust my exercise bike off and give that a go for 20 minutes every other night. See if that works before I do anything drastic :roll:
Take care all. Good luck :gluck

Hi all,
At the end of day 3 on FF and I have had a nagging headache since last night - don't know if it is anything to do with FF? :( Going to do a weigh in tomorrow morning and depending on if I have lost a couple of lbs and the headache will decide whether to carry on - boy I am missing all the lovely summer fruits. :cry:
Off to bed - also quite tired could be the lack of sugar???? :cry:
Irene :wink:

Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing well. I've decided that exercise is the best policy. I've been doing a little everyday for the last few weeks and I think that the weight is coming off nice and gradual. I've given up weighing myself but I can tell by my clothes that the exercise is definitely working. I don't do anything silly like going to the gym :oops: , just some waist stretches every morning and about 15 sit ups or so fitted in somewhere during the day. This way I can still have the odd bag of crisps/ biscuit etc. I've got 4 weeks to my hols and hopefully I'll be able to keep motivated. Problem is I've a wedding "do" tomorrow and my boss' retirement next sat, along with a couple more "drinking nights" before hols. Wish me luck!
Everyone keep up the good work.

Hey, Hey, Hey it's weigh day :!: It's also the day before I go my holibagz :!: :!:

Lost a whopping 5lb :pele :hyper

Now, I knew for a fact that I hadn't really gained 2lb last week, must of been fluid retention.

However......... I am still 11lb heavier than I should be and had to run out at the weekend and buy some new shorts.

See you all in 2wks when I'll have even MORE weight to lose :roll: :wave

Fantastic Joolz! Have a great holiday!

I've been the same as you this week, been to the gym religiously, done 550 calories each time and stuck to the diet, and not lost any lbs! but the dress which I went back on the diet for because it wouldn't fasten has just zipped right up :D :D :D got 4 weeks 'til i have to wear it, so thats even more time! Not gonna step on scales for a week!

Best of luck to everyone else!

Wow :D. Well done Joolz. Can I have some of what you've been having ??? Have a lovely holiday.

Weigh day tomorrow. Not looking forward to it actually. Not been on my best behaviour but we shall see. :gluck all.

Sarah :)
Psst ..... Irene. How did the FF go :?:

Joolz that was great, well done. Enjoy your holiday. After last weeks no weight loss I have lost 1lb this week, it is better than nothing, only 3 weeks left to diet before I go on holiday.

Just another ½lb off this week. Not had a good week (that time again :!:) so have been picking at rubbish. I didn't feel too optimistic about loosing anything so I was really chuffed with the result.

I am going back to basics with the diet next week and will be starting my exercise regime - well my exercise bike anyway. Really need to get back on track for that total 3 stone weight loss before I go on holiday. Ive done 2½ stone but finding that last 7lb to be really hard to shift. Hopefully the exercise will do the trick.

Hope everyone has a good week. :gluck everyone.

Hi All,
I managed 3 days on the FF plan, when I woke last Wednesday and still had a headache I thought enough!!!!!
Weighed myself this morning and had lost 2lbs but as it is the time of the month that was ok by the time I weighed in at class I had put the 2lbs back on and I look pregnant so I know it is water - unhappy but not if you know what I mean. Just over 3 weeks to go until holiday and I need to shed a few more!!!

Just the one this week but at least thats better than last week - 19 sleeps to hols - would like another 2 off to make the 3.5 stone :D
Then start all over again for next year - would like to lose another stone before 2008 hols
Looking forward to a more comfortable flight this year!!

I'm so pleased for you all doing so well.

My whole 'campaign' was a disaster. I'm not going to make any excuses for myself. :(

Hereon in 'must try harder'. I felt like the ugly sister on Saturday out with friends.

Still, got a looky around a new gym tomorrow night, see if I can find some motivation.

2 weeks to go and I have not lost a thing this week, very disheartened becvause I was really good this week to make up for the week before. but I will stick with it. Well done to everyone else who has had a great week

Well done Lally. Great result. Keep it up :D
I seem to have lost all "go" this last couple of weeks. Im not cheating but not eating that well either. Weigh in tonight so I will just have to see what happens then and if its a good result then that might be the kick up the rear that I need to motivate me further. Oh, and I still havent dusted off the exercise bike so that isnt any help either :roll: .

Just need another ½ stone for my 3 stone target for my holiday in September and only another stone after that for my main target for the Christmas break.

So its fingers crossed (and anything that can be crossed :) ) for a decent result later.
:gluck all.

Sarah :)
