Well done Caroline. Is Gypsy also taking part :)

Well, she really ought to ::)

She  had lost quarter of a kilo, but I think that may have gone back on again since I've been feeding her some non diet food to try to make sure she gets all her vitamins (after the dog poo eating incident)

Oh, for anyone who doesnt know , Gypsy is my dog , not my daughter ;D

She always looses a bit in the summer, as she is in the garden a lot, just like me ;D It's always so much easier when it's hot and a salad  is tempting. Cold winter days tempt me to eat much more fattening comfort food :-\

Still, summer is on its way and we'll all be able to get out a bit more and eat nice home grown fruit and veg ;D

[carolinej]

Well done, Marge.  ;D

Perhaps it would be an idea to keep something that used to fit you before you lost the weight. You can put it on every time you feel you may be slipping back into your old ways ;D

I am also wondering how I will feel when the weight is off and it is just maintenance. At the mo I keep getting small milestones, like another hole tighter on my belt, or getting into another item of clothing I had given up on. I find these things an inspiration.

I'll watch and learn from you marge, as you are only 4lb away from it, whereas I have a stone to go yet ::)

[theothermarg]

just bumping this up until jeannine is back cuz it,s her thread, I am not boasting about now being only 2lb away from 3st,I wouldn,t do that would I?  ::)

Great achievement Well done. :)

[lorna]

Wow, that is great, well done Marg

[Paulines7]

Well done everyone for losing so much weight. 

For the last four weeks I have been having problems with very swollen feet and ankles so with all the extra water it is difficult to know if I am losing fat.  The scales show that I am only 3lbs off what I weighed at the beginning, but the rings on my fingers are quite loose so when the water goes I am hoping for a considerable drop in weight.

[carrot-cruncher]

Finally plucked up the courage today to step onto the scales & to my utter joy found I've shed 1.5 stone!!!!!!!!

My secret.......attacking 4' high nettles/thistles/grass etc with a sickle 'cos the petro-driven strimmer is poorly-sick & in for repair.

I bought two new pairs of trousers the other day, both a size less than I normally wear & both pairs are already quite loose, oh well, looks like it's belts from now on.

[theothermarg]

well done CC does it uncourage you to lose more (if you need to of course)
by the way your blog looks interesting why havn,t you kept it up?
Pauline is your problem being treated or does it just come and go? suffered with water retention myself in the past but not lately
me? still 11st just 2lb away from a 3st weight loss

theothermarg:

I need to lose at least another 2.5 stone to keep the diabetic clinic happy.

I haven't updated the blog in a while as I've had no home internet access for a while.   Also, nephew has introduced me to a site where you can create & upload your own website instead of just a blog.   At the moment I'm investigating the website as I can make it more easily navigable unlike blogs which I find rather "clunky".

[carolinej]

Well, today I have reached 20 pounds weight loss. I am dead chuffed ;D

Only another 12 pounds and I will be able to eat a bit more, just enought to maintain the weight loss.

Things have slowed down a lot now, but I think that is because I am  not carrying around that 20 lb when I exercise.

Well done everyone so far. I think this thread is quite an inspiration.

cj :)

[theothermarg]

Well done caroline! I,m pleased to say I,v just passed the 3st weight loss ;D
would like to lose a few lb more but not in a hurry as I think my skin needs time to catch up :-X
