The key to maintaining for me anyway Hayley, is to carry on going to slimming club every few weeks, as when I don't go, I think it doesn't matter if I have a little bit of something I shouldn't have. The ladies at club who get to maintain weight, who come regularly keep it off, a lot of those who leave, once at maintain, often return months later with all the weight back on. Fortunately for me, a girl at our club is starting as a consultant next month, and I have offered to help, so even when I get to my goal weight I will still go to club to help her out :-D

Good luck for tonight Ann, hope you get to target, you'll get a badge then :-D

Morning ladies

Well done for your loses and maintains. half a pound Lynda on holiday is really good.

At my heaviest unpreggers I have been 13 st 7 and i wasnt even that full term preggers. We had both given up smoking ( for a year) and both carrying weight. Earlier this year we visted family and a cd was put on of us all in Disney, I was massive and at one point on the CD turned with my back wearing shorts to lift my daughter off a wall, I hid behind a cushion and wailed " why was I allowed to wear shorts" I must of been aware of weight at the time and you know what I looked like I couldnt give a toss, we were both dead happy that is what shows throughout the CD.

However I am very happy at the weight I am right now. I am maintaining which I find harder. :-D

Evening Ladies :-D

After returning from holiday today, I went to slimming club, and I had a gain of half a pound, very pleased with that, as I have eaten out, or been cooked for every day, and although it was healthy food, but most had sauces with them. I've had lots of laughs, and some wonderful treatments, I am in cloud cuckoo land, feeling very happy with myself :-D

I was told tonight it's 14 weeks to Christmas, so even if you lost a 1lb a week, you could be a stone lighter by Christmas day, not bad eh :-D

Have a good week everyone :-D

Hi Shelly, I bet your GP will be impressed with your weight loss.

I was 9 stone at my lightest as an Adult and that was 24 years ago! I would be happy at 10 stone or slightly over. Im a bit worried about getting wrinkly :-( A relative who was very thin has put on a bit of weight, just half a stone or so and it has taken years of her as her face is a little fuller and not so drawn.

Off now for a cupboard sort out :-)

hi cooper yes i was the same when i whent to disney land at the end of july
i put on weight very quickly as well i think mine took about 2 week to come back off
but i done it and that was the main thing.
im only going for one more stone and i bit to see if i can shiffed a little more of my belly

the truble is though i dont think i should go under the 9st and a 1/2 mark
as i think that will be tacking it to fare
and i have booked in to see my GP first time for well over 5 years
just to have a check up with the weight loss and make share i will be ok to loss
the extra stone

Lynda

Hallo everyone and well done on all the weight losses :-D Three stone Shelly, that's really good. We are more or less the same weight now, I'm not sure what I need to be at five foot 4, I'm going to take it half a stone at a time now and see how I look after then

II have been on holiday and managed to put on five and a half pounds in a week! These Cruise ships have such yummy food and I'm afraid to say I fell off the wagon with a bang!

I have been back for a week now and went back to basics and managed to loose four and a half pounds, it went on quickly so perhaps that's why it came off as quickly.

Hope you enjoyed your spa break and feel nice and relaxed Lynda :-D

Hello all :-D

Just a quick pop in, as I'm still on my spa break, I've had so many lovely treatments, I feel like I'm floating :-D Have eaten healthily, but the bad ladies who I have come with brought sweets, and cakes, I tried to resist eating any but they made me...honest they did :-D Whatever my weight at weigh in tomorrow, I won't beat myself up if I have put on, as I have had a great time, and if I have put on, I'll work very hard to take it off the following week :-D

Hope you're all well and doing good :-D :-D
