How's everyone doing? ... Better than me I hope!! The past week has been a total right off as far as my diet is concerned ... I've been sooooo bad!! What with starting back to work on Wednesday and my kids still being at home until Thursday when their school re-opens ... I just haven't been able to get into a 'normal' routine. Hope this week is a better one!

Can't stop long. Spent the last two weeks working in a law firm, which was fun and challenging....and they'd like me to provide emergency secretarial cover during term time, as the lawyer liked my attention to detail.

Tomorrow, Wednesday and the following Monday I have the exams I missed in January when I was ill, so I'm cramming like mad.

Still losing, very slowly though, it works out to 7.5lbs in 7 weeks I think...although this week I won't have lost any as I've been stressing over the exams.

Talk soon
Love
Jo

Jo, glad you enjoyed your work experience at the law firm Good luck with your exams!

Nichola

Just a quickie in between exams. First exam was awful but with luck and a prevailing wind I will have scraped a pass.

Went to WW tonight and GOD KNOWS HOW...but I've actually lost 1.5 pounds this week!!!

Hey all! Just a quick note to say Hi and good luck to everyone in the endeavors, whether it be weight loss or exams!

Love,
Raff

Jo, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and well done on the weight loss!!

Hi there Raff, how's it going?

I weighed in yesterday but nothing to report this week ... stayed the same. It was TOM and my eating habits have been very erratic!

Nichola

I was thinking about people yesterday. I know we've been unable to contact Ali, but what happened to Danielle???

Hi all!

Congrats to the losers!

I'm just stopping by quickly, tho it's been ages since I've chacked in. We have a houseguest for the next WEEK (yes, WEEK! ACK!) so I will have my hands full. Hope to stay OP and will get tons of walking in so that should help. Wish me luck.

Jo, haven't heard from Danielle since - I think - near last Christmas? Kelly's not posted in ages either. We had a couple of new girls for a bit but they seem to have dropped out.

Everyone take care and I'll update you all next week!

Okay. I weighed myself today and couldn't believe it because it was not what I had expected - it was a good thing. So when my friend's hubby came by to drop off the baby I had him get on the scale, the later my husband, the baby (yes, the baby), later my mother and sister. All seems accurate and I pray it's true but I'm afraid I weigh myself another time and it'll be wrong.

Good for you Raff ... as they say, "The scales never lie."

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi guys...just in the middle of moving into the new house...I'm so glad you are all well...I'll post some more when I get set up better (sitting on the floor at the moment! :lol )

Lorraine, just to wanted to say "Hi", glad to see you're still around Hope the move went smoothly ... I know how stressful moving house can be at times! Hope you're soon all settled in.

Nichola

Quick post from me - houseguest home. Or has left anyway. Never again.

Will post more soon. Must now clean EVERYTHING.

Quickie post from me.....stayed the same this week...although minor miracle as I've not been doing much cooking, so we've had too much take out!

Hi guys and congrats Jo! I have had too much takeout over the past few weeks and I have NOT remained the same. I am, in fact, UP to 248! That's TEN pounds! ACK! I honestly didn't expect it. I thought I was being careful. So I'm a little on the shocked side. Well, a lot actually. So I'm trying to get back on track and hope for the best.

Our vacation starts next Sunday. In Florida. After this hurricane. They keep adjusting the path so who knows if it will be hit (where we're going) or not. I can't quite bring myself to whine about missing a vacation when a whole island has already been wiped out. I mean, missing a vaction isn't fun but we're getting of a heck of a lot lighter than people who have lost their homes.

So anyway, I'm starting a new week TODAY. Wish me luck! And I'm sending good luck to all of you!
