  • Well done Ailuro :beer: - a stone is a brilliant amount to have lost! I wore something last week that i hadn't worn for 6years,and it fitted - snuggly! i'm here with a half point hot chocolate too - had no milk to put in my tea!!

    Well, i had good news for my official weigh in - gym scales say I am 12.5:T so i got my first silver seven!! can't believe i have lost half a stone - only 3lbs to go to my first goal of 12.2, so i better get still lardy !!!! into gear this week!!

    Was 12.9 on my home scales yesterday, although they are down to 12.7 today!!! valuable lesson - dont believe what the scales say - unless they say you've lost lbsssss!!! Really happy to be 12.5, and reckon i may well be able to get down to 12 or next weekend..?? or as close as i can. been swimming for 40 mins today (put down 30 on activity tracker for 1.5 points), will try to squeeze in a 30 minute walk later on.

    How come i didn't notice the 3 stone I put on - but have noticed the half a stone that i lost...??

  • Well done everyone. :beer: It's been a good week!
  • Too right it has Rotherham Lass!! Hopefully we've got many more good weeks to come - think we've got 7 WIs left before Xmas so hopefully we should be able to lose a stone between now and then.... or it is only 6 weigh ins...?

    Has anyone started planning their Christmas food yet?

    Hot chocolate (low fat of course!) and a mandarin from the kid's stocking for early breakfast.

    Late brunch with mushrooms, tomatoes etc. to bulk it out, lean bacon and scrambled egg.

    Main dinner:-
    free veggie soup for starters,
    Loads of veggies roast with your turkey/ham/nut roast/whatever the main course is.
    Trifle made with sugar free jelly, use low fat sponge fingers, add a scoosh of lower fat anchor spray cream once it's served into the bowl.

    Add it up, and I bet you've a couple of points left for some Champagne and choccies!:beer:

    I had another sneaky WI today... 132lbs! Another 0.6lbs off since Tuesday. I know, I know, I shouldn't WI during the week (and it's prob all fluid/hormonal fluctuations) but I am feeling a little slimmer :rotfl: so was curious. Here's to a good weekend and keeping it off for my Monday WI.

    How is everyone else? xoxo

    I have also had a sneaky weigh in today, I am the same weight as last week,however my new work trousers are starting to get loose on me, so I'm thinking it might be an inch loss week rather than a weight loss one - tomorrow will tell!:j

    ailuro2 - that's great!! Always better to lose inches than lbs IMHO.

    Friday weigh in for me - the official one, not the sneaky one from yesterday.

    2 lb off.:j It's those magic butternut squash chips I had for tea last night again, I'm sure of it, they seem to be good to me for a loss the next day!:beer:


    eta just did my measurements and they've not changed - maybe it's my tummy/belly rather than my actual waist that's shrunk - if that is the case I'll be doubly happy!

    have now lost 7% of mt start weight too. I keep a little Excel speadsheet and look at different things to find an achievement for each little loss. Today's is the percentage lost.:¬)
