words of encouragement

It isn't fate that puts on weight--it's food, food, food.

A boiled dinner will make you thinner, but run and hide from one that's fried.


You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

Dieting is not a piece of cake.

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

Progress Not Perfection


No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change.


Focus on how you will become successful today and forget about the setbacks from yesterday.

Week 8a Weight Loss club


Hi Ladies!!

Well I have to say a brilliant week this week!!!!

The maintainers are finally making a move!!! And as usual the gold members are, again, showing us how its done & yes, are still losing weight!!!!

Not sure how some of us have managed to lose after whats passed our lips, but it all counts - just think how much could have been lost if we really put our minds to it!!!

Of the group, only 2 have put weight on this week, I think both of them are on a "star" week so had it not been for that we could of had a record weight loss week.

I haven't got a bad word to say about anyone. But I still need to know if everyone is up for lunch / tea & drinks on the 5th Dec,

Bev, Elaine, Fran, Miche, Emma & myself are all confirmed that just leaves the Mighty Codd to confirm if shes coming. Fran needs £5 deposit, so will use the weigh in money & what ever is left we can put towards the meal. Elaine has the menu & if you tell her what you like I am sure she will pick you something to eat - as she has done for me!!!!

Biggest losers this week are Elaine & Vanessa having lost 3lb each - round of applause please!!!!

Hey, my best tip of all, I know most of you will have heard me banging on, but this is the new bake well tart or almond slice without the calories, put this combo on your shopping list - flaked almonds & cherry infused raisins - I will have some in my draw & will let you sample them, they are "to die for"!!!! trust me.

You are more likely to keep to a healthy routine if you have a set goal like a charity bike ride or 10k that you could sign up for with a friend to keep you motivated. Suggestion - On the 1st Sunday of each month there is a 3 mile race at Alexander park, Moss side, its approx £5 & is totally flat & just 3 times round the park. Its a course that Michelle, Bev, Elaine & myself have done before & would be good for us all to go & run it together, give support & encouragement & something to aim to. - Let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions of other motivational activities we can do. Even a walk up Rivington or anything that gets us out in the fresh air & speeds up our heart rate!!!

Watch out for the saboteurs

The more successful you are, sadly the more others around you will try to sabotage your efforts because they are jealous. So they will call you boring for not going down the pub, rather than going out to for a walk. Resist them and remind yourself who will be happier and healthier. You or them!

Good luck everyone for the week ahead!!!
