Hello

Hi All

Yes, I mean all of you. Just a quick update before I go on my jollies...

Where was you all on Friday? If my memory serves me right I only had 2 weigh ins. Surely that cannot be right and I apologise if I have missed anyone.

Last time I counted we had 6 members, so where the bloody hell was the other 4? Don't even go there with your - parties holidays etc.... The sooner you get back on the better. I can only help you if you want to be helped!!

Now out of the 2 that weighed in I had 1 gainer and you're truly, leading by example, a loser!!!

Loser of the week goes to ME - having lost 1lb. I was secretly looking forward to Claires weigh in ans I was promised it would be a good one, and if refusing food at work was anything to go off,I was expecting a 6lb loss at least!!!

It can wait till Friday, if you really want to. Although I will not be here to congratulate you :( I may however check in and see how you've all got on - If I can tear myself away from the beach, haha

Well Ladies, must go, got my case to pack. I will try to refrain from gaining too much weight whilst on my hols, but I know that should I gain weight, you will all be there to support me when I get back.

P.S - Whilst I'm away it does not mean you can eat - Kit Kat, boosts, choc lick or Pies, Elaine, Claire or Fran!! :0

Love you all
Vanessa

Holidays are coming!!

Hi All

Yes my holidays are nearly upon us, I have yet to receive a volunteer to post the blogs whilst I am away???? Don't all shout at once!!!

Wonderful week for all dieters, its great to see Elaine and Claire finally starting to lose consistently, Claire being the biggest loser this week, having a loss of 2lbs, you keep going girl, as per your interview live on GMTV - you will soon be in your 14s swim suit!!

Elaine, you're only 12lb away from your goal weight, cut the kitkats and the bread and am sure you'll be there in weeks!!!

Fran and yours truly, have maintained this week, which is no bad feat, considering we are both at our goal weight.

As usual Emma and Bev evaded the scales!!!! weights on Tuesday - no excuses!!!

Good Luck

Guess whos back??

Bev is back with a shed load of excuses, in fact, Ive had a few this week, here are a couple :
Struggling so I think if I don't say anything it will go away, I am 9st 3lbs and desperately want to be 8st 12lb - I have just got to get it together, but had alot of social events so its been hard, I have been lucky to keep this weight.

So this is a new week new start !!!!!

been out coz **** back from Ireland :-) so not bad afta weekend away too

I have heard them all, as long as we are all trying its good enough for me, at the end of the day its only yourself you are fooling and no-one else!!!

Well, after finally finding Bev, Emma has decided to go AWOL for a week. I will let her off this week but next week I will be dragging her to them scales for a supervised weigh in!

Good week yet again for all the team, 2 losers and 3 maintainers. Biggest loser of the week goes to Fran, losing 2lb - well done, good to see you back with us again.

I have been head hunted to be a weight loss leader, One of my friends (yes I have friends now) has been following the blog and would like me to hold weekly meetings at the club I run with. I have told them it comes with great responsibility and wouldn't want to let anyone down. Of course they would have to join our blog, I just hope none of you have any objections to it?? I know you will encourage them as you do with each other!!

In a few weeks I will be going on holiday and need someone to record the weigh in and even update the blog - volunteer your services please!!

Also it may be good for a different person each week to do a small feature or even write the blog, as its hard to be this funny all the time, yes even for me!! haha

You don't have to log on. You could email me with what you want on it and Ill post it - simple!!!

El and Codd, no more Nibble and choc lick, I don't count as I am still losing weight! Emma, no pigging out at weekend. Your body cant deal with it and you will retain all the fat you consume over the weekend making your starvation during the week pointless and could lead to diabetes!!! This is you leader talking!

Fran...eerrm keep it up as its working

Bev... just glad to have you back with us!! xxx

Good luck all

Disaster!!!

Hi All, the title says it all!!!

What are you all playing at? I can't get Bev to weigh in and face up to the reality that shes putting weigh on. Its lot like when you was younger and you shut your eyes to hide!! We can still see you Beverley!!! Six weeks since you last weighed in.

And I don't know what the rest of you are laughing at! hhhmm...

We have been dieting / weight watching for over a year, and some of you are only 1-4lbs lighter, it is because you are happy with your bodies?? I don't think so , or why would you be in the club. I am here to help you, and if that means I have to be cruel to be kind I will do it.

Not sure if you agree with me but we did have more success when I used to charge you all for weighing in?? We could always go back to that, even though it used to annoy me with all the I.O.Us, but it can be arranged if you want. We could pay upfront for the month and then there's no messing about with £1s here and there. Let me know your thoughts.

Right, back to the weigh in, Biggest loser of the week is yours truly with a 1lb loss. Elaine was a maintainer with everyone else gaining, shocking!!!! You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I am prepared to give you 2 weeks to shape up and I want the blog to read very differently after that. Its only 5 months to Christmas..........

Total weight losses so far :
In no particular order
Claire - 3lb - although she assures me she will do really well for this Fridays weigh in!!??

Elaine - 2lb - You better ditch you KitKat chunkys n nibbles if you want to look like Elle MacPherson on your jollies

Beverley - 5lb - although when she finally does weigh in who knows what she will be!!

Emma - 8lb - Well done, you have steadily lost weight and kept it off. Gold Star for you - well maybe a yellow circle as were on a budget and its what ever I can pinch from the stationary cupboard!!

Fran - 7lb - Well done, you too have steadily lost weight, just watch out as I have noticed the stats have shown you gaining over the last couple of weeks. But you deserve a yellow circle too!

Last but not least - your leader... drum roll......
Vanessa - 1st 5lb - Well what can I say, Genius!!!! 2 yellow circles and a blue peter badge for me!!!!

I will provide you with your weight loss certificates shortly to mount and frame!!!

Good luck for the next weigh in, love you all
