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.

We are back

Hi All

Its been a long time, but I know you are all as excited as me!!!.....

well, with our second weigh in I can say we are all keeping positive, Claire taking up the atkins diet, Elaine being extra healthy, Fran having come back from her jollies in Thailand has started back running & healthy eating and Vanessa? Well, lets say "I'm trying".

I wont reflect at all on the weigh ins this week, will focus more on these next week and compare / scrutinise / flog accordingly.

I have to say I am very impressed with everyone and a big pat on the back for all.

Until Friday!....

9/03/2011 blog / weigh in

Hello Campers, Its been a few weeks since I have updated the blog. I do apologise but as you can understand, after being stressed and stuck to a computer all day its been the last thing \Ive wanted to do when I got home!!
Anyway, with my holidays looming I suddenly felt a little cheerier!! Sorry to rub it in guys.
Well, with all we have ate this week I am really surprised with the weigh ins ans I think we have all done really well. I know Fran has been cycling and running again - good to see you back and injury free. I'm thinking you may join Bev & Michs running club after work??
Even Elaine who has been injured and cannot run has managed to lose 1lb - brilliant. Myself, Claire & Fran have all maintained, which again is still good to hear.
As I have mentioned I will be away and will miss two weigh ins and so will pass the baton to Michelle to ensure you all weigh in and will be guest host on the blog. No remember, she holds no punches and will shame you into losing weight. Just so she looks the better F@t Controller but remember ladies, their can only be 1 "f@t Controller and I am your God!!!
Having looked at the stats - which I will email you with the blog, its obvious that Claire & Elaine aren't drinking enough water. For your age you should be hitting 55 - 60% water. need to drink more ladies!!
I think a tactic / drastic action is required and I think for 1 week only we should all decide, together to cut something from our diet. Whether that be alcohol, bread, chocolate, biscuits - what ever. No Claire!!!! You cant cut out celery or lettuce!!! I could here you saying that from here - good aren't I.
I will ask for your suggestions on Monday and we will do it for the remainder of the week.
Good luck everyone

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.
