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.

Happy 30th Bthday Fran

Hi All,

Good week again, no gainers just losers & maintainers!!!! Cracking.

Yours truly is the biggest loser this week having lost 2lb - applause.......

Biggest Loser so far is The Mighty Codd having lost 5lb in total - Bigger applause...... Certificate will be given shortly.

A special mention to Fran, who celebrated her 30th Birthday on Friday and treated us to cakes mmm Dlish! Lets hope this doesn't have a negative effect on Wednesday weigh in, or me & you will fall out!

Don't forget to pay before you weigh, I will send you all a copy of the weigh in spread sheet and green means paid, red is owing, Theres no rush... as I am keeping a tally and you can always pay at the end of the month in arrears or advance. I'm easy - keep comments to yourself :O

I went out for lunch on Saturday and found a really nice meal. Cajun Chicken flat bread, with caramelised onions peppers and rocket. It was lovely and I am sure a healthier option that the burger I was going to have???? As I felt quite good about my healthy choice I followed it by a luuuvrrvleee new york hot chocolate brownie with ice cream...... Yes I know shock horror! But I am putting the exercise in and so as long as I don't over indulge I can eat the odd treat.

Good luck to you all for this weeks healthy eating and the choices you make.

A brilliant week had by all, no gainers, just big weight losses or maintainers, cracking!!!

Biggest loser this week is Claire - 4lb loss - thats absolutely brilliant, not far behind her was Bev with a 2lb loss. Fran, Elaine and myself all maintained, which is brilliant.

The money is totting up nicely and will be a good afternoon out, when we decide to do it!!

Lets hope Claire can continue on this road to loserville and its not the return of the yo-yoers!!!

I haven't got any of the usual witty remarks so will just say - "poached egg on toast is the future!!" haha

Good luck for Wednesday, its WWE today, or it will be by the time you read this post!!!
