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.

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
