    Very stiff and sore today! I cancelled my hair appointment (only a dry, straight across the bottom trim and they were going to charge £12 for it so not that bothered actually!), I have managed to do two things (empty the laundry bag and put the clothes away AND zigzag round the fabric of the crewelwork kit I want to take away with me) - I plan to relax for the rest of the day - well apart from going out to dinner at the local with Dr Dragon and a good friend!

    Dragon - hope your soreness goes away in time for your meal out tonight! And make sure you eat up! :D

    AdrianHi- I will let it go about the 0.5lb, promise! :rotfl: It could have been a lot worse I suppose.

    I'm now sitting eating what I had brought with me for my lunch before being called to that meeting. So I will have a very light dinner as I won't be ready for a big one. Luckily OH is out this evening so he won't be complaining about the lack of dinner at 6pm!

    Well done everyone!

    First weigh in and I've lost 2lb, but as I put on 1.5lb last week I still have 6.5lbs to clear before the end of the month; don't think the 2 twirl bars I've just eaten will help but they sure did taste nice!

    We should make a thread rule, no weighing yourself more than once a week, when you do make it the same time of day. Stops any of those natural fluctuations and plateaus being on a high point at that moment you weigh yourself - causing discouragement.
    Check out the graph on this success story and note that it is not a steady continuoues downward slope:

    Anyone want to suggest a weigh in day?
    Wednesdays may be?

    159lbs for me last night, 1lb lost in a week. Also weighed myself on Saturday, 4 days after last weigh in Wednesday, so no loss at all then.
    Somehow doubt I will ever loose as much as 7lbs in a month again now but I'm OK with that.

    Chin up :)

    Grrrr got up late today so didn’t manage to make my lunch before I left for work so now I will be tied to whatever they are offering today in the school dining room, hopefully there will be something relatively healthy to choose.

    Went to Aquafit last night and will be going again tonight, am either going to go swimming beforehand or do some work in the gym not sure which will depend on how I’m feeling later. Have passed on going out for dinner tonight as I’d rather go to the gym!

    Weigh in day - 1lb off. Not great but I expected worse as I've had such a cr*p few weeks diet wise. The friend I go to WW with (started at the same time) hit her 1st target today, 2lb ahead of me, and I'm hoping that might have given me the impetus to really get back to it this week.
