Well ladies, what an eventful week it’s been.
First of all I’d like to say Happy 40th Birthday to Elaine.
Secondly, with the grand opening of our new website, click on the link below and follow the weekly blog. Also I thought it would be good to add a team picture / individual profiles!! Let me know what you think or if you would like to add anything else to the blog. I will add all our old blogs eventually!

Thirdly, Two of our ladies appeared on GMTV to inspire the nation to dance and lose weight. It started on a cold Friday morning at 5 am, when Claire and Vanessa sped down the motorway to Join Camilla Dallerup (the dancing Queen of Strictly) at the Tower Ballroom in
They said there was a chance that they may want to interview us, but seeing as over 90,000 people signed up to the diet I thought, we had more chance of pi**ing in the wind. Within 10 minutes of arriving I was miked up and ready to rock and roll!!!! We practiced our interview and although I got my words a little mixed up, everything went smoothly. We carried on dancing and then much to Claire’s surprise, they shouted for her!!
I’ve never seen someone look as if they really wanted to ground to open up and swallow them, but not before she killed me first!!
Anyway, Claire was a natural and even made reference to getting in her bikini!! I wish I could say the same for her dancing skills. No co-ordination and the camera man seemed to love it as he crossed to Claire every time she put a foot wrong!!!
I on the other hand, was giving Camilla a run for her money! The sound check man described me as the good looking one – and no, he didn’t have a white stick, although he did look old enough to be my granddad. Still every compliment counts.. Right?
The morning was really good, think on the whole we danced on and off for around two hours, so you can imagine how eager I was to get beck to work and onto those scales. I have asked GMTV for a DVD from the show, and will post online.
Back to the clubs stats
Not many losers this week, but plenty of maintainers. As I’ve always said, maintaining is always better that gaining.
Biggest loser this week is our new recruit – Ann, having lost another 2lbs this week, making 4lb upto now! Ann still ate out for a Sunday lunch and even a curry mid week, the key was to choose sensible options and here’s proof that it works – Well Done!!!
Also well done for “still” keeping off the fags!! Applause
Having lost an impressive 6lb last week, it appears the yo-yo dieter is back, although Vanessa has only put 2lb on, lets hope this is not another slippery slope. Consistency is what we are looking for!!
Although Fran has gained 1lb, she is still within her goal weight, so not to worry too much!!
Maintainers, Emma, Elaine, Michelle, Bev and Claire, good going, although I am sure that due to our appearance on GMTV this will inspire us all to keep going. I will let you into a little secret, Sarah from GMTV did ask if it was OK for her to contact us in a month or so to check on our diet clubs progress. Let’s give her and us something to write about!!
Speaking to Amanda the nutritionist (my new friend from GMTV) I am in agreement that forward planning of meals is the way forward. By doing this, you will only buy what you intend to eat from the supermarket and will not be tempted to snack, as there will be nowt in! Also with forward planning, you will look forward to your meals more. Try it next week and see how you get on.
Good luck.
