I think I shall banish my scales from the bathroom and hang my head in shame as we have just returned from a short break wining and dining in the Spanish sunshine - well it was toooo hot to sit out in it all day long sunbathing! 
Happy holiday Lozza and you can always blame any weight-gain on the fact that your skin will have absorbed the copious amounts of sun-tan cream that you will be slapping on!!! It has happened to me!

All I can report is a really miniscule loss but wondering if it is because I had my hair cut on Friday! It really is desperate measures, I'm afraid so off to shave my legs! 
I know the feeling Lottie as I seem to be in the same boat as you. Maybe we should all be weighing ourselves on Lozza's bathroom scales!
I have been doing the 2-day fast diet, but to no avail for too many weeks just lately. I must admit that I haven't heard of the 8 hour diet so I am very interested to find out how you fare on this one, and what the rules are. Only eating meals between an 8 hour slot though sounds difficult to stick to if you go to work as there are more than 8 hours from leaving home to managing to sit down for dinner that evening.
All offers of help on how to shift this stubborn weight please!

4lb!!! Is there anything left of you Lozza? Whatever it is you are doing you must bottle it and send it to me ASAP as my bathhroom scales seem to be stuck on the same weight which is soooo soul-destroying.
Hope you are back to your old self soon as I feel so lonely here not losing weight.
Is there anybody out there who can join me now that Lozza is becoming anorexic?!

Not just a tad but lots Lozza, although I have forgotten to weigh myself this week so will wait until the weekend. Mind you, it is soooo cold at the mo that I need my extra layer of blubber to help to keep me warm!
So the forecast is wet and windy this weekend is it, Lozza? You really must stop eating those LAs then!
Have a great weekend to all you social butterflies who are rocking and even Les Miserables amongst you too!

Welcome back Lottie as long time no see, and we all know that yo-yo feeling as it seems to be a case of 1 step forward but 2 steps backwards
Getting over BC seems to be soooo much easier than losing weight so the more the merrier here to spur us on our way - we can do it!

Don't fight it Vercors and break open that packet of liquorice allsorts and you'll magic away 1.5 lbs just like Lozza. Mind you, you'll probably have to break open that BUMper pack of loo rolls too!
There - what did I tell you about licorice allsorts Lozza - I rest my case!
Off to buy a giant bag all to myself!!!

It is tough - I didn't lose any lat week, guess I have to face up to the harsh truth that 2 days of near fasting does not mean that I can spend the next five eating all the wrong things!! Weigh in again tomorrow but the bank hol has put paid to all my efforts, oops . I have to go to Dublin for work this week so again, fasting will be hard - oh well I will just have to try and be good, I so wish there was an easy way but if there was, we would be on this thread right?!?!
Hope you are enjoying the sun.

Congratualtion Jayne on your coming out - from behind the biscuit tin that is! Well done on a mega-3lb loss and fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Yes, you have a long old haul, but I will stick along with you so we are in this together - even if the rest of the crew are in purdah at the moment. Come on you lot - confess all!

Wowee! I'm not surprised that your 3lb loss has cheered you up although I am concerned that you may becoming anorexic, Lozza! What a week though - smear test and starting back to work - you are a glutton for punishment and sure know how to live!
I'm afraid that I have stayed the same this week, which only goes to show how strange it is when you lose a kilo one week and then the next week you stay the same when you have made just as much effort as the week before. Let's hope for better things next week as any loss is good for spurring us on. And on I must go as still some way to go before I am a skinny-minny!
Hope all goes well on Wednesday Lozza so let us know how you get on.
As for the rest of you lot who are lurking behind the biscuit tin - you can come out now and reveal all - success and failures!

What have I been up to? Nothing that I haven't been doing these past few weeks although I have stepped up the exercise a bit and also trying really, really hard to make a bottle of wine last me and hubby for Saturday and Sunday dinners . I am trying the 2-day diet where you cut out carbs on these days and only eat protein.
I am really hoping that this week's loss is no one-off and even a one-pound loss each week will keep me happy.

Whoop! Whoop! A red-letter week for me - Thursday 18th of April was my 2 year anniversary to remove my breast cancer, my 2nd mammogram results are clear and on Friday my wonderful breast surgeon and consultant said goodbye to me, so, other than an annual mammogram for the next 3 years, that's it!
And to top it all I have lost a whole kilo this week so my bum is a whole bag of sugar smaller! Not that it notices!!! Here's hoping that this is the start of my long slippery slope down the weight scales!
What a long way my family, friends and colleagues have travelled this past 2 years but with their love and support I have made it! If any one would like to read my account of 'My Journey through my breast care treatment and out the other side you can find it on this site with the following link:- http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/community/forums/undergoing-treatment-breast-cancer/my-journey-th... And to all of you just starting out on your very own Journey I hope that you will find inspiration in my story.
All that remains now is to lose the rest of the weight that I don't want. Me thinks that this could be an even tougher journey, but, heigh-ho, if I can beat BC then I am sure that I can do it, so stick with me girls 'cos I need you help now!

There's always one awkward one isn't there, Lottie?!!! Well done on this week's loss, and it really isn't about what the scales say as exercise should build muscle which is denser and heavier than fat so as you tone up your body will change shape too.
Hello Buffy3 and just to repeat what Lottie has told you, your stamina will return eventually so be easy on yourself to start with as 2 months post-chemo is still early days.
By the way, I keep going into the Body Shop to get myself a new body, but they only seem to sell toiletries and make-up - anybody else have this problem?

Just a lb loss this week but its all going in the right direction, I have upped the exercise and even though the weight isnt dropping drastically my shape IS changing and certain clothes fit better so I dont think its all about what the scales say , hope you are all getting a little more motivated now we see the occasional bit of sun in the sky

My dog looks much slimmer pfft which some would rub off onto moi

Oh Lozza
A severe case of piggyitis and your slimming world books in front of you - you haven't resorted to eating them have you?!! Good luck on Tuesday but try to make sure that your GP only signs you back on a phased return to ease you back into the daily grind of work slowly.
Only half-a-pound less of me this week but at least it is less and not more so onwards and downwards I hope! Wish I could get to the bottom a lot quicker though as not where I wanted to be weight-wise yet so you guys will have to spur me on!
