well done smurfette! every pound is one closer to your baby

Hi girls! I have been very good this week on my diet, hoping to lose 2 pounds this week. Me and my friend are taking up running as of Monday, god help me! We are planning to do 3 x 1 hour sessions a week to start. Always fancied doing it and never thought I had anyone to do it with (boring on your own, thats always been my excuse anyways!).

I've felt great since starting all of my supplements too, my cravings for sugar seem to have completely disappeared - that could also be a lot to do with cutting out white bread and white pasta though.

How's everyone else doing?

Jacky - your photos look fab, you can really see the difference already! Well done you! x x

Wow Claire, I wish I had your will power. I've been very bad today (those new magnums with the brownies are lovely, but 240 cals each :S )

Weigh-in tomorrow. Determined to do better next week.

well, I messed up, and am back to square one. Very very annoyed with myself tonight lol.

Oh honey! Try not to lose all your motivation. I know it's rubbish when you have a gain but just get back on track and try again for next week. Losing is always going to be harder for us PCOSers but you can do it.

Fingers crossed for you for next week

thanks hon. I think I need to weigh more often than once a week, just to keep myself focused!

Dangerous to do that though as everyone's weight fluctuates so much depending on the time of day etc and you might end up getting demotivated if a small gain shows up when in fact if you'd only weighed once a week you would have had a loss (although maybe it's just me that loses focus and eats chocolate if I weigh daily ).

However you tackle it this week though good luck and let us know if you want some support

Smurfette you've just described me to a T! In fact, if I weigh daily (which I frequently do), and I've put on I have to console myself with some food - but if I've done well and lost I have to reward myself with, yes you've guessed it, some food!

I've been a bit naughty this weekend, drank far to much and have been to Greggs today (theres a shop in the hospital I work in - lethal!) for a prawn mayo sandwich. It was very nice but the scales this morning were already showing a gain and that was weighing in the morning as compared to usually being weighed on an evening

Soooo, we didn't go running either, my friend worked over. I think she's going to drop out tonight to. I wish I could find someone to exercise with who lives near to me (have the ideal friend to walk with but she lives a 20 minutes drive away). OH always says he will and when it comes down to it he wont. I know I sound pathetic but I just don't like exercising alone, it's so boring! Plus I feel that I wouldn't want to run alone because I'd feel too embarassed, is that weird??? I'm not sure why I feel that way!

Hope everyone else is having/had a better few days than me! x x

not really....haha
i go back to get weighed in a week.....and i dont thin(accordingto myhome scales) ivelost any weight at all!!! :'(

feel like giving up!!!!!!

Well I'm very proud of me..........I DID IT, I WENT JOGGING ALONE!!!!!!!!

Very pleased with myself! It was exhausting, I literally am SO unfit! I walked/jogged about a mile, walked for a bit first to warm up, then checked there was no one around (lol!) and started to jog, about 20 seconds later I was knackered so walked a bit more and carried on like that all the way home! I had a vanful of men shout "nice tits love!" at one point! I just gave them my best dirty look and the finger Doesn't really offend me to be honest, I used to work in a bar and heard MUCH worse there!

So maybe this will be my new thing after all!!!!!!!!!!!

Manchester, what diet are you doing? x x
