Lose weight 27

Missy™

Morning all!

Beanie ooh lucky you off to France - isn't that the second time this year, or am I getting mixed up? I like to pack light when I go away, and my trick is to pretend I'm going for a shorter time than I really am. Generally I expect to visit a laundrette at least once a week while I'm away I don't own very many clothes so packing is never difficult

FFM I know you were umming and ahhing about your maintain levels, good for you on giving yourself a bit more leeway for that extra muscle

BB it sounds like you're getting loads done! I am intrigued about these changes to the way you live. Hope it works out well for you!

Thanks Granny. I really am planning on having a proper rest for 4 weeks, if it goes to plan it will be child-friendly stuff with my son and not a lot else I think it will do me a lot of good to have a decent break and then build up again. (BTW why do you still have size 20 stuff in your wardrobe? Must be clear out time soon?! )

Well that's one way of shedding some weight Victory!!! :eek: Sorry that you've not been well, hope you're on the mend.

WOOHOO, congratulations Granny, that must've been a lovely feeling! :T I'd go for a few quality items that make you feel amazing if it was me...

Fantastic news that you like packing so much too, can I please book you in for 5th Aug?

As for your anal comment followed by Vic's multifunctional tool....where are the boys? :rotfl:

I now have a lovely little nephew called Archie, born on Thursday :jThis means I spent 4 days in Brum and eating/exercise therefore was affected significantly, but worth it to meet the little man 2 weeks early No idea what Wednesday's weigh-in will bring, still finding motivation hard but I am trying. It's a weird time to be trying to get into routines when everything else is being packed and put away ready for a whole new life somewhere else

Just home from work like a drowned rat! Supposed to go weigh in today but thought it rather more important to come home and change out of my sopping wet shorts n work shirt. I must admit tho, i did have fun splashing in the puddles :j

So peeps, any useful suggestions for snacks when you 'fancy something nice', in my case usually chocolate? Thanks.

Something nice..them were the days:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: no added sugar chocolate angel delight, bananas in the oven with their skin on, I do those on the bbq also the kids love them all the natural sugars come out and they are all hot and squishy, lovely with some fromage frais or 0% greek fat yog, I am not really the one to advise as to me an apple with its natural sugars being diabetic is a treat to me:rotfl:
Sugar free jelly, layered with yog/fruit that is lovely and refreshing especially on a day like today when it is so hot. Low fat/low sugars cheescake? I love mysugar free cheesecake version and the kids do too, looks indulgent, special and nicely presented but does not dent the cals etc

STS for me this week. Not surprised really but a wee bit disappointed. The last stone - stone n half just doesn't wanna move. 5 weeks left til my Germany trip. So will need to get my behind in gear a wee bit more

Granny, the scales that I have are "Tanita BC543 Glass Electronic Bathroom Scale" - they have them on Amazon at the moment - I wasn't allowed to post a link

Missy, I think I found it easier to increase my maintain weight because I had just got back down to my original maintain weight. If I had done it whilst I was heavier, I might have felt as if I had given up - IYSWIM.
