Hiya,
Gosh I missed a chance to get involved in the pooh as antimatter debate!
Unfortunately I spent a couple of days in hospital due to my run in with a horsefly last week....honestly it could only happen to me!
I have discovered several things:
Ear plugs are not entirely effective in a hospital setting
Those tablets are to be taken orally even if they look like they should go somewhere else!
I miss my cyberdieting pals
Boredom is my enemy!
Hospital coffee is crap....I missed Costa!
Walked a bit today as knees have seized up from inactivity and hoping to resume a normal schedule next week. Swimming out until my baddy heals which may be a while.
You all sound like you are having such a lot more fun than me!!

Ah, the Olympics - just another reason I'm glad I don't have a telly. We're getting enough of a sport filled weekend as it is - boyfriend has plans to watch the grand prix and the football on iplayer tomorrow. I shall be making myself scarce.

Just been for another parental walk and hobnob. I must say I'm quite impressed with my dad, he's not had a single one of them except when I've been having one too!

EDIT: totally missed your post at the end there, MW. I'm rubbish at checking that I'm actually on the last page before replying! Glad you're out of hospital now. Who'd've thought one little fly could cause so much hassle? You'll have to construct yourself a sort of burqa out of mosquito netting for when you get back to walking.

Hey congrats 1987 on those measurement changes! Always reckon you can tell more from them than what's on the scale.

I haha lost another 1lb today . I can't believe it. I'm down to 138.6! I've lost like a months worth of weight for me in a couple days!

Don't knock it, PB! It may make no sense, but enjoy that low number.

Got another stupidly low one myself today - good ol' booze-related dehydration! Score on the door is 2.6, which I believe puts me at 198.6lbs. I'm under 200!

Brid - Yay to Onederland!!! Let's hope it survives rehydration.

MW - Hope you make a speedy recovery - pesky flies!

PB - Well done!

1987 - Well done on the measurement changes.

I totted mine up this morning and it's very motivating. I've dodged the going out this week so no alcohol induced low's on the scale for me today (I still haven't got back down to the last one - shame ), but hopefully also a good loss for wi tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

PB and Brid well done well done well done!!!
I had considered the mosquito netting Burqa...where's Bear Grills when you need him to eat all the dangerous looking insects!!
Hoping to get back on plan tomorrow as tablets making me feel a bit yukky ....wasn't due a weigh til next Sunday thank goodness!
Have a good day peeps

Oh, it definitely didn't survive rehydration! I had a pint of milk and the final slice of salami on toast and was up 1.6lbs. And my brother just took me out for a carvery and a walk round a garden centre (scarily English of us) so I probably weigh about twenty stone now. So full! I don't mind the scale going back up though, because I know I'll get back down there soon enough. It's just brilliant to see it, even just for a day.

I guess the chart fibbed - I haven't lost 100% of my body weight today. Alas!

Ahhhh I have that Sunday night feeling, made worse by the fact that I had a fun week off work over the past week.

On the plus side, going back to work means that I will be eating in a far more structured and disciplined way. Salad for lunch etc.

Over the past week I have done lots of exercise but I have also eaten slightly more than usual. Oh well, I was on holiday from work. Back to it proper tomorrow!

As I've been eating more I haven't lost any this week, still teetering at the 13s 4lb mark, dammit I want the 4lb gone so I can say I have officially lost 2 STONE!

Have a nice Sunday evening girlies xxx

I've been neglecting the page for the last couple of weeks really.

No real reason, a part from this new job, which although passing the first week I'm still not convinced its for me.

Weight wise... I haven't lost anything now for 3 weeks I think. Not impressed. I know AF has something to do with it, and did have a couple of bad evenings at the end of this working week due to the stress of that damn stupid test.

I'm getting more and more angry with my body. I'm doing more exercise, taking in as much water as i can and yet I'm stuck a couple of lbs away from my first mini goal... Gah!! I feel like screaming!! I know its probably just everything rearranging itself, because my trousers continue to get looser, but seeing that number on the scale stay so static is just, so demoralizing!

I need to take a long hard look and try to figure out what's going on.

Anyway

MM - well done on your distinctions!!! Proud of you!!
MW - those are the worst bites!! I'd rather be stung by a wasp again than be bitten by one of those.
TC - Peterborough.... Hmmm.... Not really much to say about it... The starbucks is nice... when you can find it lol and yeah, hotels would have been awkward, probably beached of the airshow on the coast this weekend. Saw the red arrows fly past our house again lol

I wonder how Jose's getting on whilst on holiday??

Lozz, you must be sooooo fed up! All that walking to work and no weight loss!!!! It does sometimes feel like our bodie are putting up a fight....and we are only trying to be healthy!
Had a couple of rubbish days with the healthy eating. BIG doses of antibiotics are making me feel constantly nauseous eased only by eating something stodgy! Back to walking today but going to ease myself in gently. Am only 3lb away from 3 stone so am hoping hoping hoping that Sunday's weigh in will be kind!!
Happy Monday Peeps

Don't let those scale gremlins get you down, Lozz! Have you tried taking measurements of yourself? Could be handy, because then even if the scales are staying put, you've got other numbers that are changing. I wish I'd done that, actually - no idea what my measurements were at my largest, or now.

Are your trousers loose enough to come down without unbuttoning yet? If so, I have an extra exercise for you: jump up and down, flail about, wiggle as much as you can, and see how long it takes before they've fallen right down round your ankles. Hopefully the end result will cheer you up a bit and remind you that even when the scales don't move, your body's still changing.

MW, got my fingers crossed for you for Sunday! For all of us, actually - how sweet would it be if we all dropped three pounds by then?

14st 5.8 today - I guess I'm rehydrated now, as well as full of rather heavy food from yesterday. Bacon egg and cheesy beans right before bed probably didn't help much either. Planning three very healthy days of good clean eating, then tea and cake with an old friend on Thursday.

Only six and a half weeks until I see my sister for the first time since Christmas. I hope I've lost enough to leave her looking utterly gobsmacked.

3LB each would be wonderful! You have done so well Brid I am sure it really shows on you....it's also about the confidence you feel from being lighter and healthier too.
Finally last week someone at school commented on my weight loss and as I have alot more weight to lose than you I am sure the difference is gobsmacking!!
I heard a great one today;
Sweat is fat crying!!

Oh, I like that! And it reminds me, I should go and do the day's sweating - missed yesterday thanks to hangover and the day before thanks to drinking.

Brilliant that someone's noticed your loss, MW. Enjoy it, just don't get addicted to the grin it puts on your face. In my experience one gets just one comment per person, so by the time you've lost a few stone no one bothers saying well done any more, and you find yourself hunting down people you haven't seen in years just so you can say "Look! Look how thin I am! Compliment me!"

Unfortunately my sister's seen the comparison photos I've taken, so the change in my appearance won't come as such a shock as it might have done. I was talking about the changes I could see in them and she insisted I send her them - I agreed on condition she didn't let her husband see, because he really doesn't need to see me in nothing but my knickers!

Woop I lost a 1lb since yesterday. 3lb to go until the 2 stone loss mark.

Off to Harvester for tea, don't worry though - I will be good (I love how they display all of the calories on their menu!) No more blue cheese on my salad though, which I do miss
