Morning all
The scales - they almost well for a milisecond - went under the magic 9 stone figure
:):):)
Then of course they didn't they stuck at 9st 0 - but I started off this month between 9-7 and 9-10
So I have almost absolutely lost nearly half a stone -shhhhhhhh I don't want it back - can this all really be due to drinking/not drinking? I am still eating like a pig (normal)
SOrry chaps - not weight obsessed just happy
Aside this still bleary eyed and a bit krackered the whole time
Waves to you all dashing off out into the field then the chain is on the laptop

Morning all
Well, I'm back. Have my wobbly fit but I'm over it now. Probably won't post loads but am going to try and aim for a fairly AF June. Will work out a target over next couple of days.
Fay - that weight loss is great! I've put on tons, probably due to the drink and what I eat AFTER drinking. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life. Got off the scales and felt like crying. Got to do something about it. So back on a healthy regime today.
Budgie - sorry to have gone awol mid way through your stint as scorer. Am I still allowed to vote ??;)

Oh that sounds familiar!!! Usually with me its toast. And its got to stop. Talking to my Mum a minute ago she said she'd noticed I'd put a lot of weight on and was trying to work out how to put it politely to me!
Any idea on low cal breakfasts??? I'm starving!!!
