New Layout

Hi All

Hope you like the new layout - Pink!!! It works for me.

Well that's another bank holiday out of the way, Ive ate like a pig and am dreading weighing in on Friday - so you may need to pin me down for that one. I hope you've all had a good long weekend.

I think this week was the first week we all managed to weigh in on time - well done, I know how hard it can be at times!!

Not a good week this week with three gainers (me included) two maintainers and only one loser.

Well done Emma its good to see you finally back on a losing streak!! I will let you all into a secret, Emma has been trying hard to lose weight over the passed weeks going to extreme measures. Friday finally came around and just as she was going to stand on the scales, she decided to take her diamond encrusted Rolex off - would you believe it.... She only lost 1lb. It all counts. This week I will be taking my rings, watch and earrings off!!!! LOL

Claire was a little upset having maintained. She tried really hard this week and started back and the gym. I told her muscle is heavier that fat and the scales proved this in both mine and Claire's weigh ins.

I ran and swam quite alot last week and although I had gained 2lb my muscle had increased yet my fat had reduced. This was the same in Claire's case. Its all going in the right direction. Please don't give up so easily, carry on with it and you will reap the rewards. Remember "Rome wasn't built in a day" not sure who said that but hey ho!

I have decided to have a break from alcohol until 15th May , I know its not long, 2 weeks in fact, but every little helps. I'm abstaining from alcohol because I have a hard race coming up (Haigh Hall 4 mile) and its going to take all I have to drag myself up the steep hill, so the lighter the better.

My Husband got the new addition of his men's magazine, so I will read through that and get us lots of good healthy tips for next week.

Suggestions :
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to add to the blog, I was thinking of one interview a week with each member and a photo???

Let me know what else you think

I want each of you to email me with your new goal or inspirational message for losing weigh.

Oh and I know I go on but the best breakfast really is poached egg on toast, it really does keep you fuller for longer.... tip, instead of waiting for the pan to boil, fill the kettle up, boil that and pour in!!!

Good Luck for this week,
