    Hi everyone,

    Back from hols on Saturday night and have just been shopping at Mr Ts so am starting in earnest tomorrow:D . Got lots of fresh fruit and I have lots of fresh veg in my garden so should have a good week (not bought anything naughty !)

    Holiday lbs gained wasn't as bad as I thought (just 2lb:j ) but we did a lot of walking about so I think that's what helped !

    Will be reading back through the thread this evening but I hope everyone had a great first week !
    :jWeight loss to date 1st 11.5lb :j
  • hello girls

    Went out and got meself a sealed money tin (you can only open with a can openener) and popped my three pound into it today, so am happy about that.

    Tractor Girl - don't say 'just 1/2 lb for me' that brilliant, it always slows down when you start to lose and at least your heading the right way!! Welldone!

    LMS - Go you with all your excercise your more motivated than me...can't stand it!!!

    jtb2412 - hope you had a lovely time hun and well done on your very slight gain...my mum put 10lb on, on her holiday!!! So you could get that off in like a week if you wanted to!! Go girl!!!

    erm..I have a slight problemo, my scales dont do half pounds, so that is a lickle disappointing but nevermind!

    I was really struggling last night, and ate half a pizza, which is bad, although good cuz i would normally eat a whole one without thinking. I think I'm losing weight cuz Im not snacking on crap in between meals!

    Looking forward to weigh in on friday!!! want more money in me lickle tin!! wooooop

    Hope your all doing ok girls x thinking of you all as Im chomping on an apple :)

  • Oh another thing I was going to ask about this water thing...I'm getting really tired of drinking just water and have tried all the 'adding bits of fruit' thing to it but it really didnt make much difference. Is it really bad if I used some no added sugar juice to it? my DH seems to think it wont matter but I'm not so sure.....?

    No Added Sugar squashes are fine. And so are Robinsons no added sugar Fruit & Barley waters. :j

    Over on the Slimmimg World thread, we swear by Diet Tonic water! You can get it with a hint of lemon or a hint of lime (and Morrisons do a hint of Cranberry as well)

    I also really like Asda's Diet Bitter Cranberry (like Bitter Lemon, but Cranberry) but despite its name I find it quite sweet and have it 50:50 with diet tonic. They are doing any 4 x 1 litre bottles of tonic, bitter lemon, bitter Cranberry for £1.50 at the moment.

    In fact all diet drinks are fine!

    woo hoo, lost 3.5 this week, after losing 6.5 last week i was ginna b happy with 'stayed the same' so that means ive lost 10lb in 2 weeks!
    Ive had a couple of weeks of treatment at the dentist and that has helped me loads. My jeans are getting looser, and ive had to do my belt up 2 more notches so to say im happy would be an understatement!!!

    Hope i dont keep losing at this rate or im gonna be skint!

  • sorry I aint been on girls, had a bit of a down time :(

    I been drinking loads of water this week, but I've got my monthlies (again!!!!) and it seems my body is retaining it all.

    I fell bloated, and had a sneaky go on the scaled and have put two pound on...now I'm thinking chinese...but I'm not going to do it, just gonna have a bowl of cereal instead.

    Well done to you lot for losing weight!! Thats brilliant!

    Hope your all getting on ok :)
