Oh thanks for explaining that PurpleJ - I was just curious - I didn't know what it meant and if it is some secret concerning weight loss, I want to know everything!

Good Morning Everyone!

Weighed in today and had a 1.2 loss . Hope everyone enjoys their beautiful weekend! Will try to check in later.

7/1: 177.8
7/2: 178.6
7/3: 178.4
7/4: 178.8

7/9: 175.8
7/10: 176.4
7/11: 176.6 I think I haven't been drinking enough water, so that's probably the reason for a slight gain here.

In my last post I said how I wanted to start jogging again, but that will be postponed a little bit...I can be a little awkward and clumsy and last night I sprained my ankle tripping down some steps It's not bad, just icing it and wearing an ace bandage, but I'll have to wait on the jogging for a couple of weeks. :sigh:

Darius, surely you have the secret decoder ring and have learned the handshake, haven't you? (J/K!) Your comment cracked me up! You're a funny guy! I like that!

Oh no, GordonGirl! Get well soon! My goodness, first sick, now a sprained ankle, you need some good luck your way!

Lovemylife, woohoo on the nice drop!

Purple, I understand! I suffer from anxiety too, and I know it often has no rhyme or reason to it! But if you have any doubts about how well you're doing, just look at your progress! Those numbers are going down, down, down! You are doing great!!!

Sizzlingina, congrats on a new decade!!!

Today is my Carb Day!

Well done to the losers

Darius - no problem at all I'd have asked too if I hadn't known.

Jacqui D - Thank you I am trying to stay positive and am making the right choices (like avoiding a chocolate biscuit with my girls in the park earlier.. hard as it was)! So I'm sure it'll move again when it's ready. I suffer from Bipolar so unfortunately anxiety comes hand in hand with it - it's partly what made me join slimming world for the support group aspect as was failing to lose anything on my own for 2 months of trying. Would lose 3lb and gain 2 back. lol

So.. in this for the long haul, just have to get my head around it properly and deal with my mental health along the way.

Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday. We went to see the life boat station with my girls and a vintage festival for a short while. I'm working tomorrow so making the most of the weekend.

I've had a busy week so I'm a little behind in posting.

Jacqui Right! It's not a race. I don't want to get obssessive either, so I'm gonna take it easy. Thanks for your kind words.

darius Good to see you! Congratulations on your drop.

Purple Aww, hugs to you. I know how it is to have anxiety. I hope you find a way to feel good.

Delphi So nice to have you back! It sounds like you had a lovely vactation. I'm sure you will lose that 5 pounds in no time. And I'm sorry to hear about the layoff slip. I hope you find a great job. Sometimes switching to a new job can be a better change.

susiekay my scale's going the wrong way too. I keep thinking it's broken. I think you have a great attitude though. Your post made me laugh.

gardenerjoy So glad to hear that your mood has improved. Moods can be hard.

lovemylife Good luck with your weigh in!

kelijpa Good work!

sizzlingina Congrats on getting into the 220's!

GordonGirl It's too bad about your ankle. Make sure you take care of it and don't worry about jogging. Jogging will be there waiting for you.

Thanks Magistra really appreciate the hug.

10/07/15 - 236lb
11/07/15 - 236lb
12/07/15 - 235.5 (5lb lost)

Can't believe how fat time is going.. scale moved again today slower than it was but still doing the right thing and first week losses were never going to continue. Feels good to be halfway through the 230's... closer to onderland.

Hope you all have a lovely day. Work day for me.

Sorry I haven't talked much lately. I'm switching jobs and it's been a good crazy change. Oh and my boyfriend and I might be going ring shopping after work today! Yay!! I'm really nervous, though, because I know what I want but I haven't seen it any of the stores. Also I really don't want a diamond, I want moissanite, but that's not too common and every sales person I've met so far has tried to talk me out of it because diamonds are better for their commission. Gemology and geology has been a hobby of mine since I was in junior high and I'm far more knowledgeable than they give me credit for.
