OV Slimming Club

I would like to thank everyone in the ov slimming club for all your encouragement and help. When I started this topic some 10 weeks ago I was 15 stone[msnembarrased]. Now I weigh in at 13st 4lb, still along way to go but I am so very proud of what I have achieved so far.

Every week that I have posted what I have lost there is always people who say "well done, brilliant" etc. This means so much to me and the times when I have found it a bit hard going you have helped me along. There has only been a couple of times when I wanted to give up and on the whole I have found it fairly easy going and feel so much better.

So thank you again to everyone, it is very much appreciated.[clap]

we are all just dieting so we dont have to pay extra for our air fare[msnwink]
keep going sally one persons failure[msncry] rallies everyone else round.one persons success spurs everybody else on.[msnsmile2]

not sure what sort of week lies ahead again! have got the abcess back in my mouth and having trouble eating!+ another little prob thats putting me off my food!
will try hard, i like to lose weight by trying hard! not by no eating!!


ps,
i had root canal treatment yesterday on the tooth that was infected for those 2 weeks earlier in the month! now its all swollen it looks like i have cotton wool in my mouth, am so fed up with it!!!

Liesa, I too have had awful trouble with my teeth/mouth all over easter.
I went to the dentist on tuesday and I had an infection in the root canal. My mouth was so swollen and sore, had bad headaches and ear ache. The choice was root canal treatment or extraction. I went for extraction (first time I have had a tooth removed) as it would mean an end to the pain. My mouth is still sore, swollen and bruised but I would rather have that kind of pain then the other. I am still struggling to eat and it took me ages to eat my dinner.
You have my sympathy.

Liesa/Sally so sorry to hear you are both still suffering - I hope you both get better soon![msnsad][grouphug]

I am doing OK back into my routine of 2 runs a day 35 mins this morning and 45 this evening.

One thing I noticed today when I was on my treadmill, I have a mirror next it and noticed how much firmer I look my abs are much more toned and my love handles are less and my bottom and legs look so much better I actually look much more youthful!

So I though I would do the butt test - to see if the cheeks of the bottom have lifted - how do you do that I hear you ask? Well I will tell you but don't laugh........stand naked in front of a mirror, feet shoulder width apart. now look at yourself in the mirror, focus on looking through your legs and you should not be able to see the cheeks of your bottom - if you get what I mean LOL!! Well mine have lifted by about 2 inches I can't see them anymore!

So even if I have not lost any pounds tomorrow I have lifted, toned and lost inches so Im still going to be a happy bunny [laugh]

Lucy, standing in front of a mirror naked is something I avoid doing:D

sounds interesting? make sure its not a 2 way mirror any rate[msnwink]

Lucy you have made my day!!!!!! so funny!!!!!! i couldnt get a mirror big enough to see all of me in it![msnwink]
