22nd Aprils Weigh in

Hello Ladies,

Another good week to be had by all. Not one of us has gained weight. We have two losers and the rest are maintainers!!

I put this down to team work and everyone looking out for each other, unless you can unwrap a Terrys chocolate Orange in your pocket, then you've got no chance of cheating - In the office that is!!!!

As well as the usual Fat Fighters we have two more followers, Liz and Clare, both run for Astley and Tyldesley Road Runners, and have said they are loving the blog. Liz says it hilarious??? Not sure whats so funny about starving 24 / 7 ;)

As I am writing this Blog, Fran will be taking to the streets, after not running for a few weeks due to muscle strain, she has decided to put those trainers on and test her muscles! Good luck Fran and no doubt we will have another losers on Friday!!!

Remember its a Bank Holiday weekend, and so we need to try and be extra good this week and lose as much as possible, then we can take our foot off the gas and not have to worry about how many burgers we eat over the weekend - Well maybe I shouldn't put it like that, me being your leader and the person you look upto for support and guidance!!! Anyway, you know what I mean.

Hey, I got spotted on Friday, was in Asda and the lady on the till said "Hi, I didn't recognise you with your hair straight" I just smiled and thought, "who the FCUK, are you???" It turns out, she recognised me off GMTV, its seems I'm some what of a star in my local "village"!!

Back to the nitty gritty :
Biggest losers for this week are Claire and Vanessa, both losing 2lb each - Will email your certificates, as still cant work out how to attach them - shocking as it may seem, I'm not good at everything!! ;)

I need to apologise to Bev, again, for still not programming her in on the new scales, Ive let you down and promise to "sort the job" this week.

Now the BBQ season is here I thought I'd attach some food for thought - click the links, but make sure you have a tissue to wipe your mouth!!

New Scales

Hi All

First of all I would like to welcome Elaine back to the club. Elaine has decided to get back on the wagon in preparation for her holidays. Personally I think it was because she saw the new scales and thought to herself "I want a bit of that"!!

Onto the new scales - a marvellous set of scales, not only can you weigh yourself, but they also tell you how much fat, muscle and water you have!!! Genius, and if that wasn't enough, it tells you what your BMI is!!! I'm sure Ive caught a few people sneaking into the toilets to try them out. But unless your programmed in, they don't work - haha

Scale programme:
1 = Vanessa
2 = Codd Meister
3 = Fran
4 = Bev
5 = Emma
6 = Elaine

We have 12 programmes available, so Miche, its there waiting for you, should you want to join us again - We all miss you. And if you join there will be less people bringing chocolate into the office to tempt us.

Now, back to the scales report and weigh in. I know some of us didn't like getting on the new scales, but they never lie. It highlighted that quite a few of us don't drink enough water. If you don't keep hydrated your metabolism slows down, hence, you won't burn the fat!!

On Monday I want to see your glasses with water / juice in them. Aim for 2 litres per day. What harm can it do??

Last Sunday saw myself and Elaine take part in a 2 mile fun run with our kids, all for fun!! Although from the look on my daughters face, it was anything but! It was a lovely day and we burned a few calories, probably not enough to earn the pasty that we both had :O Fran was meant to be joining us, but is injured at the mo, lets hope she can get back to fitness and running again as it really does help you to shift the pounds!!!

Weigh in results for this week

Either I forgot to write them down or they didn't weigh in - Fran and Bev, if you could give me your weights on Monday.

Elaine is off to a good start having lost 1lb, I also lost 1lb, Emma and Claire maintained, let hope they can start to lose again!! I have got a weight loss certificate, but for some reason it won't upload to the blog?? Will have to get IT on to it - Although its probably "not our fault" I will attach on email for the lucky losers!!!

Good luck to everyone for this week. If anyone has any suggestions for team outing etc... let me know - better still sign up to the blog and I am sure you can post comments, how many times do you need telling!!!

Good Luck Vxxxx
