Tara, have a wonderful holiday - eat whatever you like as long as you have twice as much salad or veggies!!;)

Second weigh in today, 3lbs off not sure I deserve it after that pizza, but have been angelic every day this week, so maybe I clawed it back!!:j

So I got my first silver star - not sure what I'm meant to do with it, though!

p.s. Got myself a set of digital Salter scales in Sainsbury's yesterday for less than a tenner, their TU range ones were reduced to £1.50 but they didn't have any left.surprise surprise!

The last ones I had were ancient and it was very easy to cheat by giving the scale bowl a little nudge to make the needle move in the preferred direction!:o

NBirdy

Yay well done ailuro2! Those scales sound good, think I need digital ones as mine are just like your old ones

Tara, hope you have an amazing holiday, don't get too held up with diet stuff

lexuslass just forget yesterday, with any luck the damage won't be too bad. But force yourself to do that weigh-in and start the next week off well.

I just had a sneaky preview weigh, and......... have stayed the same Only 3 days left to try and shift some weight.

Thanks all for the kind words. I did my WI, am 134.6lbs so half a pound back on! Never mind!

I won't be too worried about the diet, but I just think that in tropical climes I am more likely to eat lightly - and also someone else is preparing it and exotic fruit is freely available and cheaper than here... and you never get fatty rubbish! And also I will be happier to come home to the cold if I'm a few lbs lighter. I just know that I will kick myself if I don't make the most of it.

ailuro2 - well done on the 3lbs and the scales!! The digital ones are worth the extra few £££s.

NBirdy, sts is better than gaining, remember xoxo

Morning fellow Weight Watchers:D

I lost 3.5 this week instead of the 1.5 I was expecting:j making my total 3stone 2lb. I have so far to go though sometimes it feels like I will never get there. I gained all this weight from comfort eating for years after a bereavement, then had a baby and I piled it on further. At the start of this year I had had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for a severe case of depression and anxiety and it was a few weeks in to this treatment I started WW. It was a big step as up until then I wouldn't leave the house:o

Hope you are all well and thanks for letting me join in:beer:

Don't know if anyone goes on there but the WW site has forums where you might find some helpful tips. There is a board for 5stone+ , 3stone +, and those wanting to shift a few lb's.

Hello millymoomoo :wave: That's a phenomenal weight loss to date! A massive well done! You must be so proud of your progress. I hope one day I'm looking back at a 3st+ weight loss :cool2:

Well, I weighed myself this morning... have stayed the same

Oh, well, serves me right and I haven't gained any so that's good.

On a mission now me thinks.... no Booze!!!!!!!

And I am going to look for some decent digital scales too... so fingers crossed for this week!!

The Salter ones I got are nice and slim, less than a tenner, and do up to 3KG, so you can put a bowl or a pot on them, then zero it and then add your ingredients - so no washing up to do on the scales.



They're like this, but black instead of white.

Will have to make something lovely this weekend since I've got them.:D

Millymoomoo - congratulations on your weight loss - that's a massive amount to lose in one week after you've already lost so much - power to your elbowe, or whatever the right phrase is to say well done!!:D

I have only posted about 6 times over on the WW boards, I like the layount of MSE, find the WW one very small and a bit confusing - sometimes it look slike a normal forum, other times it's more like a low graphics version - maybe becaus I use opera.

I'm quite happy here with the ever shrinking band of 'I got WW to pay ME to lose weight'
free trial challengers - I think it helps make it feel like a weekly group that we're accountable to, a bit like going to a WW class except we can compare notes every day!
