    Another pound off for me this morning! Provided nothing happens over the weekend then it looks as though I am up for a good weight loss come Monday :D:D:D

    I was still nudging down this morning ... but then I fell into my old ways, got busy, ate nothing until 7pm and then had an Indian take away (small portions though). I just hope I haven't totally messed up.... :o

    Meh because I got on the scales this morning and 2 flipping pounds have come back (couldn't have ANY thing to do with the fish and chips for lunch or the cider last night!!)

    I'm still stuck at the same weight, I weight myself everyday too. To be fair, I did have a kebab last night, so pretty pleased not to see any weight gain :D
    Weekends are always bad for me. I'm going to start drinking water, I hardly drink any, diet coke is what I'll drink, I presume if I drink a few pints of water a day the scales will go down a bit, water retention, but it's all something!

    For a dieter weekends should be banned! I need to increase my fluid intake as well (and that does NOT mean another 16 pints of cider! :eek::eek::eek:)

    Oh yeah they should be! It's worse cause OH will nip out and come back with all my fave nibbles like pringles, doritos, dips and other yummy munchies, and I could easily demolish a tube of pringles and wonder where it's went! He should be banned too!

    Oooh cider is yummy, I love Strongbow, I've switched to vodka and diet coke whilst dieting though, I'm sure cider has about 200cals per can....eek!

    Luckily Dr Dragon (who is also trying to shift a few pounds!) buys snacks I am not keen on - he gets me SOTs (Small Orange Things aka satsumas, clementines etc), although I will confess to being partial to cheese and crackers! :rolleyes:

    More of a Thatchers, Merrydown and Bulmers girl myself! (not keen on Strongbow or Magners because of the artificial sweetners they put in them)

    Hi folks, Hope everyone is getting back on track?

    Weigh in tomorrow - remember to shave your legs... every little helps... :D

    Well, surprisingly enough, I am still inching down. It is slow going, though, and very frustrating. I'd love to get really active burn off a load of calories... but today I'm in bed with a flare up, so not much chance of that!

    I don't think I'll hit my two pounds this week, but I should be close, I think.

    I've ordered a DVD for chair exercise, specially for disabled people, so I'll let you know what it is like, when it comes, for those who are interested.

    Sorry to hear about the flare up Daisy (Fibro?), and yes the DVD sounds interesting!

    My weight had peaked a bit as of Saturday morning but is creeping back down - I MAY be in for a three pound loss this week (hoped to make it four and a half but I don't think I will lose two and a half pounds over night!)
