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 8.Archive

Hi All

Sorry its late, I took the cards home to complete with every intention of adding my usual witty blog, but I left the weigh in results at work - DOH!!!

Nevermind, I'm here now, although not as witty as usual, its way passed my bed time, beauty sleep is defo needed, pity sleep doesn't help with weight loss or I'd spend many a mornings lay in my pit!!!

Fran & Miche have been exercising to the extreme this weekend, Miche with her 4 mile X-Country on Saturday, half marathon on Sunday & even ventured out last night & did a 4 miler with myself & Bev --Brrrr it was bloody cowd!!

I did txt Fran on Sunday morning to find that she also had been for her morning run, made Darren his bacon butties & resisted temptation & opted for Special K - mmmm, well done???!! Having stuck to her strict regime, Fran rewarded herself by spending the rest of Sunday shopping for new clothes in the Trafford Centre. Note to self - must refuse the bacon butties next week!!

This weeks weigh ins as follows :

3 maintainers, well I say 3, its only 2 people that have maintained, one seemed to evade the scales this week - cant think why?? Pontins not serve lettuce butties & water??

2 of us have gained, but this is OK as they have already achieved their target weights. Just week doing what you are doing ladies!! Well Done

We have 2 losers this week, still the biggest loser is Emma, having lost another 4lb this week - only 3lb off achieving your target weight & the infamous "Gold Star!, or which ever colour I have spare!!! Only joking.

Big round of applause for Elaine who at long great last has lost some weight, albeit a 1lb, but as we all know "a pound off is better than a pound on" Lets hope this is the motivation she needs & her weight loss card will make for excellent viewing!

Issue - Ladies, weigh in money does not grow on trees, please can you all try to ensure that you are all upto date with your debts for this Friday or I will send the bailiffs in!!

Suggestion - 5th Dec is when a few of the girls are going shopping in town - German market is on & then for a Thai meal. Cheap & cheerful. It would also be a time for any of us to do xmas shopping or just chill / unwind without the kids. Fran, Bev, Naomi & Elaine are already going.

Let me know what you think.

I'm not going to add tips this week - sorry to disappoint!!
