I LOST THIS WEEK 9LBS YES 9LBS and that mean that if I lose over 3lbs next week I will slip under the next stone, that will feel even better.
so to keep me going I am going to post a running total untill my medical, so that you can help me keep to this. It is not easy, very boring.
WEEK 1 9LBS
Good luck everyone, will write later in the day, got doctors appointment must fly

Have made the decision not to get down about the house sale, it will sell eventually and I've just got to accept that, looking on the bright side, we haven't even got the visas yet so we do have a bit more time.

I have noticed the last few days that my trousers are feeling a little baggy underneath the bum. Thought it must be the exercise workout, excessive squats!

I had to find a pair that I usually find quite tight and even in them I have got room for an inch. Couldn't believe it. I don't seem to have moved much on the scales but it is obviously having some effect. At this rate I will have to buy clothes sooner. I think I must have lost 2 inches around my waist and obviously some around the hips.
Thing is I didn't measure myself so tomorrow when I do my official weigh-in I will also note my measurements so that I can keep an eye on them.
I was supposed to do my workout this morning but couldn't get up because I went to bed too late last night. Stayed up to watch Hells Kitchen so found it difficult to get out of bed at 5.30am. Anyway I have an hour tonight about 7.30 when hubby is out with eldest daughter so will do it then. I've got to stick at it now that I am seeing results.
Also it is making me feel better in myself, mentally aswell as physically. I used to do a lot of aerobics and what with 3 children now all spread out in ages, 4,7,12 I have neglected my me-time. I forgot how much I used to enjoy it. My sister is an aerobics teacher so is always slim and toned. I don't sit too close to her if I can help it !
Keep up the good work all of you, try not to get too stressed with visas, house sales, hubbies etc !

PS - I am definitely feeling less stressed after starting this workout DVD. It is true that it does release anger, agression and anxiety.

Tried to send you karma, and to you too Nicky but I've got to spread it around 1st before I can give to you both again.
Also I'd like to say a BIG Thank you to all you guys for yesterday, I was really touched by your support and really appreciated it, I would like to think that I was back on track, no what I meant to say was that I AM back on track

The karma would have been nice, but the thought was nicer. You seem a bit perkier today, that's good.
Try not to let things get you down and just do your best.

Good morning everyone
Official weigh-in:
Last Wed = 11 stone 1 pound
Today = 10 stone 13 pounds and 1/4
Total loss = 1 pound and 3/4
Yippee, I have passed over the stone mark, very happy as it is time of the month and usually find that I retain weight during that time. Fingers crossed it continues.

Re: Dieter's for OZ
Hi there again
Thanks to Nicky and Mandi for karma, it has worked !!!
Mandi - I have stopped drinking during the week. Seemed to find I was getting through about 3 or 4 bottles a week. I don't think I have a drink problem by no means, just like the taste of Australian wines and after a stressful day it unwinds me. Anyway I am now restricting myself to having a drink only on the weekend. And I have to say I am feeling better.
S/nurse - glad you like your hair, I'm happy with mine too.
Binbird - remember the trousers, they could come today.
Lace - good luck with your weigh-in today
Shirley - Stay away from the biscuits, one of my weaknessed aswell but actually coping okay without them.
Lynn - same weight this week, at least you didn't put it on, keep at it girl.
Bridiej - same weight this week, have a go at the exercising, it's worth a try.
Sharon - 8 lbs in 3 weeks, brilliant, you are doing really well
Sarah - how are you, haven't heard from you lately?
Good luck to everybody, bye for now
Theresa

I have decided to carry on in my own sweet world for a while as it seems elusive to me. I have been 'stuck'at 11 st 2-4lbs for what seems like forever other than starve myself (which I just could'nt do) I will carry on regardless!!!
keep up the good work, a nice non food item oressie to yourself would now be the appropriate reward

Well done everyone else who has lost this week.
Another disapointing week for me, have gained 2lbs.
Feel like crap, have visa - can't sell house, on diet - can't lose weight, have boils - on antibiotics that hurt my stomach and have made me bloated, have Andrew - my own personal sabateur ( stuffed a sandwich in drawer yesterday as I heard him coming to kitchen, back to secret eating as I'm starving). He think he is being helpful by saying can't eat that, don't eat this but all it's making me do is stuff my face when he is not around.
I know things will get better, hopefully as I had a right go at him this morning he may back off.
Off for some pampering today which should make me feel better. Having eyebrows, legs and wait for it.... brazilian. Not everyones idea of pampering but makes me feel better knowing that yes I may still be over weight but I won't be hairy.
Have a good day everyone, love and hugs

Re: Dieter's for OZ
Theresa - you did it! Congratulations! Have sent you karma
Sarah - I know you have been having a hard time of it in many respects lately and we are in the same boat with visas granted and house to sell but please try not to hide food and be a secret eater - be true to yourself. Have larger portions at meal times if you need to for a while.
I really couldn't be bothered to drag myself off to the gym yesterday when hubby got home and he gave me 'the dirty look' and tutted at my lack of will power so half an hour later I changed my mind. Only did a quick workout as I wanted to get back to watch Property Ladder and Supernanny - Jo Frost really does give us all a good lesson in consistent parenting, as hard as it is!
Pottering about all day with my youngest as there is no playgroup today and trying to steer well clear of the biscuits which are now out of sight and hopefully out of mind (but since I am writing about them now you can see I shall need distracting today!)
Hope you all stick to your guns today (no, don't shoot yourselves - it's never that bad!)

Re: Dieter's for OZ
Hi guys, I hope I find you all well this morning.
Well done Theresa, what a great feeling to get under a stone marker!
Sarah, have you though that the antibiotics could be the reason that you have gained weight. If they are making you bloated it could be water retention! Could you ask Andrew to concentrate on the foods you can have, instead of being negative and pointing out the foods you can't have. How about making up a fruit salad, popping it in the fridge and helping yourself when you get the nibbles.
I have been to the gym this morning, first time this week, but I secretly enjoyed it. I hate going, I hate doing the exercise, but I keep telling myself that it will get easier and it will help me lose weight. Once I've finished I love it!!!!
Anyway for the rest of the day I am going to hit the books and hopefully get some of my theory work handed in.
Hope you all have a good day
Shirley

I too have been stuck between 11 st 2 -4lbs for over a year. Dropped down from 12 stone originally, the first stone came off quite quickly but have been stuck for ages like yourself. However I will now admit to many secret nibbles and have not been entirely honest to myself.
Am treating myself at the moment to session of sunbeds and laser treatment for bikini line. I'm happy with that for now.
