    I lost half a pound this week - at least it's still a down!

    I want to lose another six pounds and have 8 weeks to go until my holiday - crossing fingers!

    Having two toddlers makes it difficult at times, because I don't often want to eat when they do, but I end up pick at their leftovers regardless. Time is often a problem too - I might have a schedule I'd like to stick to, but my little girls certainly don't give two hoots what I want to do lol!

    Frogling, I have two toddlers too so know how hard it is! I find the tiredness the worst thing rather than the pickingas they eat meat and I am vegetarian, I just can't be bothered to cook myself dinner tonight after I have cooked them their tea so will probably just 'grab something' in a while.... someone once told me a good idea where you could freeze up portions of meals to defrost for when you are tired and dont fancy doing the whole delia thing, I haven't got round to it yet but its a fab idea!!

    Keep trying as every effort you make is worth it for the long run!!

    Thanks Honey for the good advice, I know I need to get back on track and I am glad I have lost weight in the past couple of months or I think I would be more dispondent than I am currently, cos I KNOW i can do it - just gotta get back on track!! :rolleyes:

    Can anyone suggest where I can get a good pair of digital scales. I want to make sure that every time I get weighed it is accurare. I am becoming obsessive !!!(about weight loss not weighing, once a week is quite enough)

    I think you can get them in Argos - have you tried Ebay though?

    I bought Weight Watchers body fat monitor scales from Argos. The code is: 8321846. They are in the catalogue at £34.99 but when I bought them a few weeks ago they were reduced to £27.99. I think they are brilliant, and not only do they weigh accurately, but also calculate your BMI and body fat :eek:

    All my family have been round to enter their vital statistics (hold data for up to 10 people), and it's fascinating! :D The only one who's 'normal' is my skinny daughter in law :mad: and even then she wasn't satisfied!
    :beer: My glass is half full :beer:
