Hey Helen,
Sounds like you had a lovely weekend, well done. I'm off for the remainder of the week, which is great, just going to be lazy.

Well my internet is not really sorted, but I decided to get it installed now and then fight for it afterwards....couldn't be bothered anymore, keep running against brick walls and it just aggrivates me. So hopefully sometime this week I should get my things delivered.

Foodwise my weekend was ok, not too much synning, but have to admit I had a Marsbar and a bag of crisps last night. Should be ok, as I saved some syns, but you never know. I guess Thursday will tell.

Don't know if I can write during the week, depends on how quick sky gets the stuff delivered, but I'll be here till 4 today....

Oh have a fun rest of the week off Moonchild, I probably won't see you much then over the next few weeks, I'm off from next week for 2 weeks, one of them away and one which I intend on spending in the gym to recover from my holiday lol.

I had a letter from Sky telling me they're putting my subscription for tv up from £15 to £17, not impressed lol but mainly because we don't watch it that much.

Feeling quite tired today, so I'm not in the best of moods, fortunatly I've been left in the office on my own so I can't take it out on anyone else lol. At least this time next week I'll be packing for my holiday :)

Oh, wow, already time for your holiday. Well enjoy yourself to the fullest, try and stick to the plan at least a little. I'm sure you will have a great time.

Thanks, we're not going till next Tuesday so I'll be around a bit before then. My holiday has come round fast.

Chat to you soon.

How's everyone doing? I'm ok, although its been a tough week, my husband broke one of his teeth on Sunday night and is now in agony until he has the nerve killed on Friday morning, and then to top it all off his moped got stolen on Monday night from outside our house :( Apart from that things are ok lol.

I've been really good and stuck to the plan and I've been exercising, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself, I'm determind for this weight to come off.

Hope everyone is ok.

My mum has lost 1 stone 1 pound!!!I'm so proud of her!!She's only lost 1 pound for two weeks now and yesterday she'd lost 4. I'm soooo happy for her!!!She's really helped me a lot to start eating healthly. Even though im counting points all my foods have now changed. Instead of munching on crisps and stuff for my points im eating whole foods like brown rice, which means i can hardly snack between meals cos i get so full, and when i am snacking im munching the different fruits she keeps brining into the house. Like pawpaw i think it's called and melon yummmy i loove this. She also buys so much grapes!!There really are no other snacks in the house apart from this, which is great.

I'm so happy to see her getting more and more slim!!!And the change in her is amazing!!She's very excited now to go on holiday to Afirca and start excercising. She doesn't like the English whther too much but back home she can take long walks and even go swimming in her friend's pool. Thank you for Slimming World cos it's really helping her get more confident in herself.

I maintained this week, not too unhappy about it because of our anniversary celebrations, and a very busy and nightmare week with my husbands moped being stolen (which we got back last night with some help from the local criminals as the police wouldn't help us). We only had two hours sleep last night so I'm really tired.

Apart from all that I'm a tired but happy girl!

Morning Ladies,
I'm back! Had a lovely week off. Lost 2lb on my WI on Thursday and was well pleased with that. Missed my minigoal by 2lb, but oh well. I got very close, thats all that counts!!!!

Been a good girl all week, but the weekend was somewhat...eerrrr...well synfull lol. Went to TGI afer my meeting to have my B-day dinner. Friday I had a McD's for lunch, which I did not really enjoy I have to say. Saturday we went to town and I had a lovely DiMaggio's Pizza for lunch and several glasses of wine during the day. Watched football at home and snacked our fair share. So all in all not a very on plan weekend hahahaha. So even if I don't loose this week, I won't be too dissappointed.

I have however set myself a new minigoal: 2st till Xmas....should be more doable, its 14 weeks till xmas, so 2lb a week is achievable I think....obviously I have to make up for this week as well. And if I loose an extra 2lb, so a total of 30 lb, that puts me to 15st by xmas!!!! Which would be fab!

I'm back on track today, got lots of fruit with me, going to have pasta for lunch and again a different variation for dinner.

Bubbyly, well done on your loss, thats fab...really pleased for you. And I'm sure you'll lose lots more before the big day!!!

Helen, glad to hear that you got your hubby's moped back...thats good news. Quiet shocking tho the way it went lol....hope you enjoying your holiday.

SWC, good for your mom, that is fantastic.....and even better that she is getting you back on track lol.

Mel, where are you hanging out lately????

Well, I better start looking busy....

Hey all,

Good job on the loss Moonchild, hopefull your synful weekend won't make too much difference, I've done the same before and still lost, even if it's just a 1lb!

Lost 6lb on my WI last tuesday (that was over 2 weeks though) and I've had an ok week, not the best so I'm kinda worrying for tomorrow.

This brings to my next question (which may already have been asked but I don't fancy reading over the thousands posts in this thread :$), what do you guys and girls think about bathroom scales? Do you feel you manage better with them, so you can check how you are doing and have some control over it or do you feel you become more obsessed, weighing yourself at every opportunity? The reason I am asking is that I dread going to WI. Even when I know I've been good. I thought getting scales would make it a bit easier on myself if I had some kind of idea what was going to happen at WI instead of getting myself in a tizzle! Any advice/comments would be much appreciated!

Hey pirategirl, well done on the 6lb loss, thats really good. I'm sure you'll be fine tomorrow, keep those spirits up.

As for bathroom scales....I don't have any at home, and don't want them either, because you could become easyly become obsessed. The WI's are there for a reason luv, we all thread them....sometimes more, sometimes less. But it's this psychological thing that makes you stick to your diet more. If you have your scales at home you might soon not go to the meetings at all anymore and loose some useful guidance.....

Anyway, where in Scotland are you?

Thanks Moonchild. I think I'm going to refrain from buying scales, you are right in what you are saying that it's all psychological. I've put on a couple of times but I've always known the reason why so it doesn't bother me but I just need to get over the fear of putting on even if I know I've been good.

I live in Tayside, I see you live in Glasgow, not too far away :) Will be over in Glasgow in a couple weeks, going to see Incubus :)

Nice losses there girls! We're off tomorrow to Majorca woohoo! I weighed this morning just so I have an idea on my weight and I'm 2 pounds down! I'm posting at home so can't post properly but I hope your weeks go well!

Excellent Helen, keep it up! Have fun on holiday, wish it was me that was going! Remember to food optimise ;)

Hi all,
Wow - some terrific weight losses happening lately :D I've been mad busy at work and too knackered when I get home to go anywhere near a computer. But it's eased off a bit today. I lost another 1.5 lbs at last weigh in - not sure what this week's going to be (tomorrow evening) I've been a bit up and down with the plan but stuck to it - mostly - so I'm hoping for a loss :^:

Keep up the good work everyone - Hope you have a good holiday in sunny Majorca CH :cool:

Love ff x
