:wave: Hi i want to join in! Im mandy and im off on holiday in about 6 weeks time! I had my 2nd baby 8 and a half months ago and have lost approx 47lb's of weight since i gave birth but im at a standstill and the weight is not moving. I think the longer the diet the harder it becomes right?

Anyways i need support! I would like to lose another 7lb's in the next 6 weeks im not on ww or sl or anything i just work out and eat right. Except when im pregnant :yikes So after a blow out at the weekend that lasted 2 days im 2 lb's heavier..... Ill post each week with a weight loss hopefully and any waek momments i have

Good luck to everyone and well done to all those managing to be good, ive enjoyed reading your threads!

The doc told me what was wrong with the foot, that it was nothing major, and just to take Ibuprofen for it. I shook my head thinking he was taking the p*ss, but i've been taking the tablets, and it's working, so back to five a side for me tomorrow

Hopefully that will help kick start some weight loss again

Hi all,
Well done for maintaining Irene.!!
As you know for weeks now I have either maintained or lost or put on 1/2 a lb. BUT this week I've lost 3lbs and got to TARGET!!
They rang the bell for me and I got a huge round of applause, a sash, a certificate and a gold badge.... To say I'm thrilled is an understatement!!!! Plus I don't pay to go to group as long as I stay 3lbs either side of target.... I've promised the friends I've made there that I will still go to group ( I need to or I know I will cheat and put it all back on).

So come on Girls and (Cidermonster) if I can do it, anyone can!!!!

Just got back from WI

I maintained :duh i am disapointed with that as i am 4lb behind the 2lb a week target i set myself. Thats the first time in my book that it didnt show a loss.

I think i will look at what i ate when i lost 4lb and i might repeat it ( probably wont lose 4lb but i will try it)

Goodluck with the weigh ins everyone :tup

Has anyone on here tried The Pink Patch.

http://micro.thepinkpatch.co.uk/s-pGoSearchBRANDp/mp/lp

I'm thinking about sending away for the trial patch. The only thing is, you are automatically sent your next months supply unless you cancel within 14 days. I don't like the sound of this as they have all your bank details, what happens if you cancel and they still take the money????How long does your trial sample last. Oh what a dilemma, and does it bliddy well work any way??? :(

Hi all
Cazz - it sounds too good to be true and my theory is, if it sounds it, it probably is! I would personally give them a wide berth but thats just me. Good luck if you do decide to go for it.

Well done everyone on your losses and maintains. At least you are maintaining, better than putting on.

My scales at home lie. Ive actually put on 3.5lbs which considering how bad ive been for the last few weeks probably isnt that bad in the scheme of things.

Im still trying to feel more positive about my diet and I have had two really good days. I did use all my syns (15) yesterday for my white bread craving but it was worth it. Had a really lovely cheese, ham & salad sandwich and a pack of walkers french fries crisps which was bliss.

Things can only get better.

Well done everyone, especially Denny - you must feel amazing now that you have reached target! My target seems a million miles away for me!!!

My WI day is thursdays, so im always a bit later than everyone else on here - but i will let you know how i get on tomorrow.

Im totally dreading the scales this week - i have been within my checks all week (Never went over!) but because we are decorating the house is a tip, so this week i have had 2 chinese's, home made fajitas, a KFC last night and a McDonalds tonight!!!! That cant be right for a diet, can it?!!!! :duh

My only hope is that ive worked hard enough painting maybe the fat has been sweated out? lol!

Anyway, good luck all and will tell you how i get on!

So far as the pink patch goes - it's something I keep getting offers of in my spam box. Anything they try to push so much I am wary of. Besides, these fad things usually come with small print that they only work in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet.

Yeah sandc i agree with sarah they do sound iffy but the worse thing is that they want your bank details, Something smells fishy to me and its not my salmon quiche. Not only do they probably not work but they might not even show and then your money gone from the bank. I wouldnt take the chance :tut

And as you said they probably will state that you have to have a calorie controlled diet for them to work ( if doing that anyway no one needs things like pink patches.

Thanks guys, you talked me out of them. They have something similar at my local tan in a can salon :) and it does state on the bottom of the advertisement for these, works best in conjunction with exercise and a calory controlled diet.

Irene i know you are a vegetarian but do you eat fish :think if so do you like salmon?? I just made a recipe that i got in class it was salmon quiche :tup You just flake the salmon into a oven proof dish, mix together CC and 4 eggs season and then pour over the salmon. Place in oven about gas mark 5 for 20 mins until firm and slighty browned. It was gorge :tup I ate it cold as i dont like things like that hot.

Enjoy

Not been on site for a few days had 2 visits to the dentist and it appears I have an abcess so am on antibiotics and don't feel much like eating and then I have go to have a tooth out :( or root canal and crown work - I hate the dentist such a coward and yet my dentist is lovely.
Thanks for the salmon quiche recipe Kerrie - I don't reallyeat fish and never have done well I do have the odd bit of tuna out of a tin.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Morning
Cold, wet and windy here in Wirral this morning. :duh
Going to make a large pan of Potato and Leek soup.
Lordy hope the stress goes away soon - are you starting a new job?
Sandyglen - are you doing SW? If so, has your consultant mentioned the Fast Forward programme - not spoken about a lot quite a strict programme works on units per day but a couple of people at my class have used it quite sucessfully when close to target or at a plateau. I have a copy you only do it for a week or even a few days helps. Let me know if you are interested.
Irene.
