I lost 3.5lbs this week bringing my total loss to 1 stone 5 1/2 lbs since Jan - I am chuffed to bits and feel so much better Hopefully I will get to 1 and a half stone loss this week.

Well done on your fab loss Andrea Fingers crossed you get your 1 1/2 stone loss this week, keep up the good work

Can't believe our holiday is now only 7 weeks away, I have try to shed a little more weight still and I have to go to an appointment first thing Thursday at the local Jobcentre+. So no doubt there will be delays arguments etcetera to come since I am still waiting for my P45 and it could take weeks to be posted. Already done a CV (no idea whether they will want it) which needs printing off and popping in a folder and 8 weeks of pay slips. Roll on August and hopefully some better weather too it's not easy to develop a real tan with little sunshine.
Good luck everyone and well done to those of you sticking to your targets just keep at it and really feel the health benefits this summer.

Well done! I focus on the half stones too - fingers crossed for you

Great stuff! It's always fantastic when the scales tell you that you've done better than you thought

I had another good week to. Lost another 2 pounds I've got two more weigh in's before my holiday, and really, really want to lose 3 1/2 by then. That will bring me up to 3 stones weight loss.

Well done everyone

Hi there Mandymouse and all the girls, wow that was one surreal experience at the Jobcentre let me tell you! All the staff were in a weird mood not helped by one of them being particularly belligerent and I couldn't work out what the problem was. I was there 15 mins early and got moved around a lot, my claims advisor was no where to be seen and i got a few strange comments from other claimants too. However I then found out from the lovely lady who took over my claim that the entire building had a power cut overnight and that took a while to resolve. Anyway she told me what was expected of me ( bear in mind this was my first visit in about 26-27 years) and that i have to keep a log of what I'm doing to find a job. Believe me I'm keen to find work that suits me and my family and provide a decent wage. So she tells me to go home and get cracking and she will see me tomorrow lunch time to discuss it further so probably might not have time for weighing in tomorrow. Still have to get details of a school trip for our son, we didn't get a second letter or email about it so I need to find out since this trip is very soon!! The little cat has been ok since her last visit to the vet she gets her stitches out next Saturday morning , she didn't need spaying she had no uterus but we weren't to know bless her. She also needs a name anyone have any suggestions?....She is a petite black and white with a tiny cute face and she is quiet until she wants playtime, food, cuddles etc. you get the picture but she doesn't respond to names we have tried out so far. I have to give the vet a name next week ....eek. The birds had been waking me before 6am so I have been trying to fit in earlier workouts before the heat builds up, it ain't easy staying energetic until late at night but I try ti think of it as holiday conditioning and practice for those days when we really need to pack in as much fun and experiences as possible.
Keep up the good work everyone.

I promised myself that I'd exercise more this week, but it's just been so hot

Just weighed in and am delighted with my 2lb loss today Just 1.5 to go and that'll be my 3 stone. I weigh in again next Thursday and go on holiday the following Sunday, so I'm going to be extra good this week to try and get to that magic number

Good luck this week everyone

Well done on your 2lbs loss this week Julie Fingers crossed you reach your 3 stone target next week, well done, that's an amazing loss, you must be very proud of yourself

I have lost a stone since I started my diet YAY!!!

This heat really isn't helping , too hot to do much but still managed to go walking, cycling, 2 riding lessons this week and playing with my niece and nephew on the beach so hopefully will still have lost some more next week.

Although we went to the cinema today and I ended up eating way too much popcorn

Well done Vicky - popcorn is always way too tempting

I only managed half a pound loss today so no 3 stone sticker for me
I'm not too upset, i know I only need a pound to get there, but have had terrible toothache this week so I have bigger things to worry about. We'll be off to DLP on Sunday, and I just hope it's gone by then. I'm taking penicillin so should have started to work by the weekend.

Hope everyone else is doing ok too

Today I purchased my ' Goal Jeans' for the first time in ages I managed to try on (and fasten lol) a pair of size 16 jeans ( all be it made of slightly stretchy material) so I went for it and purchased a size 14 !!! I know I'm going to get there eventually and having a nice pair of new jeans staring at me every time I go to the wardrobe will hopefully be the motivation I need to keep going

Something tells me you'll be in those new jeans in no time Vicky

Oops been naughty, put 3 pounds back on again (blush) I think it's because I'm not working now and gave been waiting for the roofer to come and re-seat a chimney pot and do the gutters before our hols. He will get to us eventually as he is a bonafide guy who doesn't fleece people.. He did some work for my mum-in law and was great with everything. On the brighter side I got my certification fir my college course and passed level 1 just fine now if I could only work out how to get another job that would be fantastic , big hugs to everyone keep ip the great work!

Congrats on the new jeans! I like to compare how I'm doing with how well clothes fit rather than just numbers on the scales. I'm sure your new ones will be on you before long

Not to worry, you can have that off in a couple of weeks

Got back from 4 days at DLP on Thursday - ended up having my tooth out before we went and was a bit ill to be honest But, we had a great time and I still managed to eat what I wanted, when I wanted The good news is that I've stayed the same on the scales! Must be all that walking we do on holiday

I have another week off work, but I'm going to get back on to the diet tomorrow and hopefully get that blinkin' pound off that's been annoying me

Good luck everyone for the week to come
