Good morning all!

Welcome FairyShazza, and your salad today sounds yummy!!!!! Where is the wedding?

carol22 - congrats on the results!!

Dragon - where do you live again? Hope the weather is cooler today (should be, it's about 17C here!) and you are feeling better xoxoxo

lightisfading - LOL! No, you are not a bad person for feeling good about your colleague's bad days! :rotfl:

Keeping Motivated - welcome! I'm terrible for snacking too. Meringues have only 50 cals each and are nice and sweet with some plain low fat yogurt. Other healthy snacks - um... raw veg, fruit, oatcakes, a couple of nuts... that's all I can think of right now!

sharron - how are the tonsils today?

miss_nadine, how did the WI go?

coffeeholic, what are your neighbours up to? Poor you! Good idea about the pics, I might try that myself. Well done on the 1lb loss and it does sound like you're toning up and losing inches.

Phew! Hope that's everyone covered.

I had an OK weekend, didn't do that much exercise but didn't eat that badly either. I didn't WI this morning, forgot! Back to the routine again, I'm off to do some stairs x

Miss Nadine - well done on your loss

I forgot to weigh myself again this morning so am not 100% sure what my starting point is, I have a rough idea but I must remember to get on those scales tomorrow when I get up.

I tend to snack more when at work than at home – I graze throughout the day so I always bring lots of little things I can snack on, mostly fruit (current faves are cherries and tomatoes) although I have been known to snack on cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices as well. The main thing I try and do is when I feel like I want to snack is have a drink of water instead as quite often that stops me feeling like I want anything to eat. Weight watchers do some nice Rosemary and Thyme crackers which come in individual packs of two and are quite nice – I tried them last week because they were on offer in Asda.

Tara – the wedding is in Italy we are out there for 5 days and it is going to be really hard for me as I love Italian food so much but I am going to try and make sure I eat plenty of salads and try and keep the really bad stuff to a minimum as much as I can.

FairyShazza - sorry, what I was asking was 'where in Italy is the wedding?' :rotfl: The food should be fine, lots of lovely salads full of Parma ham, yum!!!!!!!!!! Ooh, those R&T crackers sound lovely!

plzhelpmesave!

well done on all the losses peeps, great news on a monday morning, esp Miss Nadine!
Dragon, hugs to ya hunny xx

I weighed myself this morning and am at 12.9still so nothing lost this week. Gutted as i have been really good foodwise - no cholocate or junk food, and loads of fruit. Have been for out for walks 3 times as well - up to an hour at a time up to the local shopping centre, buy milk etc and walk back again. Can't o much strenuous excercise coz of my leg so thought the walking would help with the weight loss, but obviously not!

Have to say though it does feel good to know i am eating better food and smaller portions, makes me feel more of a lady. Kids are gorging on fruit at the moment as well so that's good.

Hope we all have a good week

Hi all, monday weigh in day again!!
Sorry havent been around this week, but I have been poorly, and had TOTM as well :mad:, although all things considered I had a 'good' TOTM for a change - just as well really! So havent been eating much and what i have eaten hasn't stayed in long - iykwim!!
Managed to drink loads tho', which isn't difficult in the heat (lol), not done hardly any exercise unless you include two hours of cleaning in the heat everyday!
No swimming again this week, went to rugby to pick up a storage item that i won on ebay, so had a scout round there, so walking involved there i suppose and i did melt a few pounds away in the heat!

Anyway, back to my weight today, and bearing in mind that i'd hardly eaten for at least 3 day's - i managed to lose a whopping 4lbs today!!

I am really pleased with that, :T that makes half a stone in 2 weeks - i wish i could keep that up! i'd be hit my target in no time!!

So i need to lose 3lb (:rolleyes:) next week to get under the next stone, which is a big milestone for me, i might be brave and reveal my weight to you all if i do managed it :eek: - but don't hold your breath on that one!!!

Anyway, well done one and all, hope that you all have a good week, i'm off now to read through the thread where i left off and then make lunch for me and DS.

XxXxXx :A

ps.
sorry, just updated my siggy and noticed that i've lost 50lbs, so that takes me over the 3 1/2 stone mark - well, i'm so pleeesed with myself i'm gonna have a treat today me thinks! xx

Aaaaah sorry! The wedding is in Spoleto, it’s near to Tuscany up in the hills. It looks beautiful from pictures I’ve seen on the internet, have never been to Italy so am really looking forward to it

Wow Poshstock – 4lbs lost you must be so pleased with that – well done

AdrianHi - 88 cals per hour for reading???? I would rather read for two hours than iron for one! :rotfl: What does lying down burn?
Don't worry about the unplanned calories, as you say you can make up for it elsewhere. :A

Doesn't say for lying down / sleeping, reading was the most inactive thing I could find.
The only thing I could find listed relating to being in bed uses 102 calories per hour

Woot on everyone that lost weight this week, go all of you!!

Coffeeholic - nice to think that you are losing fat but gaining muscle and tone!

Tara - I live in East Anglia and yes it was cooler last night and today *phew*
