OMG - Missing person located after 3 months

Hi All

Just a quick one this week. I will focus more on next weeks blog!!

Would you believe it? Bev has finally turned up and given me a weigh in. After three months on the run and she has maintained!!! Well done. Not sure why she has evaded the scales? I was expecting a bit unit!!

Excellent week to be had by the other members of the team
Elaine 1lb loss - this holiday is really driving you
Claire - 2lb loss - You should enter into a comp every week, if this what it does for you
Emma - another one, who evades the scales at all cost!! - 2lb loss

Well done - this makes Elaine and Claire our biggest losers!!!! applause needed

I know I should lead by example - hence why I won't be shouting my weigh in results from the roof tops today. It was a gain and lets just leave it at that!!

Good luck for tomorrows weigh in

Love you all

Late update WEIGH IN

Hi Ladies

The title says it all, I have missed one blog, and I am really sorry. Claire reminded me, and I'm sure she only reminded me because she was in the running for "the biggest loser"

Not many losers this week, but plenty of maintainers. As I have always said, maintaining is always better that gaining.

I am really sorry, I will not let you down again. I have noticed that me not updating the blog doesn't help you all, as this weeks weigh ins weren't great.

I do have to give a special effort mention to Claire - Yes you are right you do get "The biggest loser" award for last week. Lets see if you can come up with the good this Friday.

Fran - you need to have a serious word with yourself - I hear your pants are getting a bit tight?? Unless you get your act together, it will be elasticated trouser before Christmas!!

Elaine - Still going strong, and I am sure these last few weeks before your holidays you could easily shift another 4 pound. Then you'll weigh the same as me! Come on, you can do it!

Emma - we seem to have lost you again on weigh in days!! The amount of time you spend in that toilet, I don't know how you can forget to weigh in. How many weeks till you see Chrissy??? Have a word with yourself!!!

Bev - Well..... Nowt much I can say there??? Do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang!!

Yours Truly - Brilliant, leading by example!! yada, yada, yada. No, seriously, I do have bad & good weeks and do often need to have a word with myself. And yes, it works!

We are all here & in the same boat, we all have our good days & bad days. But with Christmas coming up its time to take drastic action, especially with all the chocolate that’s probably going to be on offer!!!

I suggest we make a stand - All chocolate should be put in the kitchen, that way we will be less tempted, and those who insist on bringing in chocolates, sweets & biscuits must be told to eat them discreetly & not to offer them out.

Remember, we are "choosing" to not have that chocolate digestive, we are "choosing" to be slim & healthy. After all being healthy is more important!!!

Tips

• Drink plenty of water with your meals, not only will you feel fuller quicker but water stops your metabolism slowing down

• Slow down & chew your food more, if you chew more your brain thinks its eating more & psychologically you will, again feel fuller quicker – result!!

• Iv'e said it before, plan your meals for the full week & apply this to your shopping list. If you only buy what youv'e actually planned to cook & eat there will be no snacks / goodies in the fridge or cupboard to temp you!!!

• keep hydrated- aim to drink 2-3 litres of water a day, cordial, tea and coffee all count

• Don’t leave the house without a bottle of water and a few healthy snacks in your bag, then, if you're running late, you always have something to keep hunger at bay

Only 11 more weigh ins till Christmas!! Good luck Vxx
