    Hello. I haven't been on the same planet lately but feeling better but 2 lbs heavier. Went out for a meal with my brother and ate too much but it was delicious. Back on track tomorrow.

    Today was so so,
    2 weetabix with milk
    slice pineapple and melon
    cheese and pickle wholemeal roll
    apple
    pasta bolagnaise sandwich (I know but did not put enough pasta in and had 4 to feed out of it)
    half a cheese sandwich and small handfull monster munch (at the pub were I managed to drink water all night)

    Not much exercise as football all day but did do 2 hours housework

    morning everyone!

    wasn't around yesterday due to a migraine but am a lot better today although not 100% yet.

    Frogga - great to hear from you again:j I hope RS is ok and hasn't spent all your winnings yet;):D
    I know what you mean about sizes - everyone carries their weight differently and your body shape makes a lot of difference. I'm a pear shape so even though I'm 10 stone(5ft 7) which is quite slim I will never get into size 10s due to the width of my hips whereas the more apple shaped person can get into smaller trousers but still carry a lot of weight above the waisteline.my top half is much smaller than my bottom half;) much to my DHs dismay:D

    I'm off to work later and there's a birhtday party involved but I'm taking food with me.

    B - spaghetti on toast

    L - egg, new potato salad, yoghurt

    D - dont know yet, may be a pub meal at work.

    snacks - fruit, cereal bars and yoghurt.

    hope you all have a great day x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    :j I lost a pound :j


    Don't ask me how the heck that happened but I'm not complaining!! ;)

    New goal has been achieved....total loss 65lbs!:D
    Next goal is another 5lbs off to hit the 5 stone mark though at this rate thats at least 5 weeks away!!:o

    Another beautiful sunny day so going to take my ironing outside and then do some walking later.
    I'm also very happy as hubs and I have decided to start trying for another bambino (he took a bit of time to think about the idea!) so want to be in the best shape before I get pregnant.

    Hope you all have a fab day, weight loss is so much easier when I'm in a good mood!!:rotfl:

    Hi all,

    A very hot and sticky day in work ahead, which means I won't want to eat much :)
    Someone has brought in birthday cake which usually has me picking but I have 'the fear' about a wedding at the weekend that I have to go to with OH. I bought my dress a while ago and it was a snug fit but I am a bit concerned about the muscle bulk in my arms due to mountain biking as I have very broad shoulders so can look quite 'manish' ;)
    I'm too scared to try it on again!

    B: 50g muesli with plain yoghurt and strawberries

    L: Mixed salad with cottage cheese

    D: Not sure, can't remember whats on the plan but it will be either with salad or a huge salad alone as FIL gave us 2 lovely round lettuces and a bunch of radishes from his plot yesterday

    Hope you are all well

    Morning.
    Last week went to pot. Had some down days and so ate.

    Feeling a bit brighter today so hopefully will get back on track.

    b: potato farl, smoked salmon and two poached eggs
    l: tinned red salmon and some microwave rice (ran out of time :o)
    d: mackerel/kippers and barley stuffed peppers (in slow cooker - hence running out of time ;)).

    so a bit of a fishy day! :rotfl:

    Edit: lunch was a weightwatchers chicken stuffing sarnie (only one with no sesame traces) and a mars ice cream, but I'm sure my 6,000 steps I've just done for lunch has cancelled out the mars icecream :o:p
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    hello all :)

    Sorry I've been absent for a while, found out in April that I'm pregnant :) So the last 2 months have been all about trying to maintain my weight, not lose it! Unfortunately that's not quite gone to plan, and I'm nearly a stone lighter, but I'm getting there.

    Hope everyones well and motivated.
    Weight loss to date - 8st 13lbs :j
