Dis Dieters, week beginning 25th Feb 08

[natalielongstaff]

I'm 5'2" and every lb shows on me so I'm on a mission...

i know exactly what you mean ! im the same height and its not forgiving at all !

well done on your loss this week

 

[mandymouse]

You can do it!!! Congrats on a great week's weight loss...

I've lost another 1lb this week - I'm pleased as I've only just started to feel like my old self over the last couple of days so hopefully I'll just keep going...

I like your little Goals table, Mandy! Here's mine...

3lbs till my 'OK, I can live with that' weight...
6lbs till my 'last pre-holiday' weight...
10lbs till my 'I haven't been this light for years' weight...

I'm determined to lose the lot!! I'm 5'2" and every lb shows on me so I'm on a mission...

Thanks Karen I'm hoping to break each target, but the 6lbs will be really hard work - so I'm worried that I may lose interest by then

Good Luck on your reaching your goals too Karen, I can really appreciate what you mean every pound showing though. I'm 5'4" and all my weight goes on my back first (yuck)

Here's to us all reaching our 'I haven't been this light for years' weight

Here's to us all reaching our 'I haven't been this light for years' weight

It will take me years to get to that stage

well done on your loss this week

Thanx, Nat!

It's so dull, isn't it???! I always think if I were a few inches taller, I'd have no weight-loss issues whatsoever - instead I'm just a supermodel in a dumpy middle-aged woman's body...

Mine goes on my face - I've got proper little hamster cheeks at the mo!!! And my belly!!! Despite going to the gym, I don't have much muscle tone - I blame my 3 enormous babies so if I don't get a voucher for a Tummy Tuck on Mother's Day, there'll be trouble...

Here's to us all reaching our 'I haven't been this light for years' weight

I'll drink a diet Coke to that!!!

I hate steamed veg but thought it was a very low calorie, low fat dinner to have before consuming two creme eggs.

It is true that if you crave something you need to get it out of your system as although I'd love another creme egg the craving has gone. Besides my obvious little hiccup I've been good all week so hopefully on Monday I will have lost at least a couple of pounds more as holiday is creeping up. Yippee

You've all done great on your weight loss so far! Congratulations! Hope its ok but id like to join in next week.

I was originally going to join Weight Watchers but there are no local meetings at convenient times for me. Anyway i thought that other Dissers would be more supportive anyway! So my wonderful Hubbie came up with a great idea for an incentive to lose weight, he got me a terramundi pot - http://www.terramundi.co.uk/

Its a personalised money pot - he had "Diet Fund" written on it. You get a fortune coin that has a little tag on it, your meant to write your wish on it and put that in with your first pound coin. The only way to get the money out is to smash it when its full - your meant to read the wish and see if it comes true.

So instead of paying money to go to the Weight Watchers meetings, im going to put £5 in my pot each week. Plus Hubbie has said he will put £1 in for each pound i loose. A pound for a pound lol! But im not allowed to smash the pot until i reach my goal weight! So hopefully once i reach my ideal weight i will have some money there to go treat myself to something. Thats the idea anyway!

I'd ideally like to loose a stone?! So 14lbs in total before the summer - we are going to Paris in June so thats my target date! Although im going to Disney in 8 weeks so id like to loose a bit before then too!

i would love to be a bit taller sadly dd is small as well so no doubt she will end up feeling just the same !

Thanks! No not really

So true!!! My DD25 is actually an inch shorter than me but carries her weight completely differently. She's much curvier so looks more in proportion IMO (I'm quite boyish with small hips and no waist ) tho' she thinks she needs to drop a dress size... I wonder if anyone's ever satisfied...

Nope, I don't think so

Well done Mandy and Karen and Good Luck with your goals

I am too vertically challanged and at 5ft 3" putting on even half a stone is a nightmare - I have just lost 8lbs and am approaching the "I havent been this light in years" but my weight yo yos so much I can only hope I can maintain it this time

We have a tough time of it sometimes

I think maintaining is so hard...its too easy to get complacent !!

8lbs is a fantastic acheivement

That's excellent, Jackie!!! I'm also determined to get there and maintain it this time around - I guess we'll all just have to support each other...

I have to maintain this time - 1/2 stone even makes me go up a dress size and I am fed up of that !!

It is good to have the encouragement from everyone I sometimes think DH gets fed up at me going on !!
