On a more flippant note (this is me, remember) I would like to thank everyone who had a drink yesterday as it's the first time ever I've been in the af lead even though it's tied with quite a few others at the mo

Woo hoo, Winebox storming ahead into the lead there!! Go go go!

40SM, that's 2/14 for me please

And curried lettuce yuk - bleargh - no no no. I'm on my diet and starving too but curry is not tempting at all.

Now Choklit on the other hand - yum. Although it doesn't come close to cheese. Washed down with wine of course. Mm, I've just eaten so at least I'm not hungry.

Feeling pleased with my weight loss, 4lbs this week which is good. Although I may rebound after I go back to more carbs. We'll see.

Sleep well everyone. I'm so tired I feel like I could sleep for a week! Off to water the seeds first though.

It's only Tuesday! or are you in a different time zone?

OH claims different planet not just timezone!

This is from last Tuesday to this Tuesday, not just in a day. Now, if I could lose 4 lbs a day I would only need to diet until Friday lunchtime and could then eat like a pig (no offence meant to Miss Piggy!) and quickly put it all back on again.

Back in the real world I think it's a 3 month or more target to get back to a healthy BMI of less than 25.

4 lbs is brill hope I do that in week 1.....aiming for 2lbs a week as "they" say you should but it seems to take forever at that rate. Still, given that in the last 17 months I've lost precisely nothing it would be an improvement (actually, I've probably lost about 5 stone but....)
Well done!

winebox

sorry my last post was back to wbf but didn't quote it & budgie came between us. Hi Budgie! Hope you're feeling good tonight? Must be weird contemplating having a drink after all the time you've been af. Wouldn't surprise me if you end up not....

Must hit the sack (well, the book) now, g'night all

Hi All :wave:

just got in with DS2 and the dog, we went to throw ball at the park! I've been great this evening, not even needed the Kudzu! Last week I said it'll tell on my pmt week - well that did happened to be said week so I did v well having a couple of AF free days with pmt straight after a binge! Slept quite well last night, I still had one of those antihistamines that make you drousy and went to bed at silly o'clock and woke at the same silly o'clock - dam birds in the morning and owls at night!! Love it really just doesnt bode v well for sleep.

btw - I adore a hot curry over lettuce (other salad is available) the hot of the curry and cool crunch lettuce (toms, cumcumber) goes really well - I do that when I've off the carbs, I just love pasta too much though!!

For supper DS2 and I had garlic bread, mine with peanut butter and his with nutella!! scrummmmmyy!

think I'll be off to Bedfordshire a bit earlier tonight, bath first then carry on reading my book (thanks Annie am enjoying it)

goodnight, oh and yes its AF day 2 for me :T

PRICE_IS_RIGHT_2

You are such a sweetie, BB, :Athanks for asking - all is relatively calm in the PIR house tonight. Another day, another AS exam done. Mr PIR had his golf clubs stolen from his car which he left unlocked on our drive last night - I check all the house doors and windows every night, but I leave him to look after his own car ...

Night night everyone

40SM thats 2/24 afd for me....tonight was quite hard as I do have some wine in the fridge (only around 2 glasses though) the thing is, I may have had that and it been enough, but then again, I may have just then thought 'in for a penny' and popped out for another bottle, so it was best left (and also I didn't want to waste one of my drinking days on 2 glasses of not particularly nice wine-was what mil brought me yesterday)

I am working on my 'try something new' challenge am thinking of going to a tai chi (sp?) class that they do at the leisure centre..thought it might help with stress etc.

Good luck Jo for tomorrow, I hope the beer aisle wasn't to attractive today xx

BB lovely as always to read your amazing posts.. hugs to you too and hope you enjoy the meditation - you will have to report back as to what you thought..xxxx

Anyway night all and sweet dreams
