    Congrats to you both, you have done really well.
    I have been shopping, didnt buy anything naughty, although we did go into iceland and there was alot of nice cakes and desserts, but i managed to resist.
    Got some of the flavoured water in peach and lemon and lime, had a lil bit of the lemon and lime but not that keen really. will see how it goes. Only done walking so far today in terms of exercise. will try and get some done later.

    Well done everyone on all your fantastic weight losses especially rdchick 6lb WOW!:beer:
    I joined s.world last week, not very MSE I know but one of my work mates is the consultant. I have joined other groups in the past, but I work mad hours, so can often not get there. If i know i can't make it I will have a blow out thinking I've got a week to get it off. Mad thinking I know, but its the way I think!:o By going her group she knows at times I genuinely can't get there, and she can still catch up with me in work and keep me on the straight and narrow!
    When I joined last week I was 15 stone 1lb and I'm 5ft3. To say I was gob smacked is an understatement.:( What a wake up call. I have for some time been 14 stoneish but never before hit 15.:mad:
    Good news though is got weighed Thursday and had lost 51/2 lb.:T
    I have been really good food wise, but after 2 weeks off work, I planned to start the shred when I went back to work on Monday it never happened.:p Plan to start this Monday.;)
    Money wise I have paid £100 off overdraft.
    Keep up the good work guys,

    Weee well done frodo! Slimming World is very good I just don't have the balls to go alone since I have moved from my home town! I am very like you though in the fact that I will have a blow out if I miss group!

    Had a Chinese last night but nothing huge so don't think there should be much damage. I promised myself I would go to parkrun with my boss this morning but have developed a horrible snotty cold and keep sneezing so that's gone out the window!

    Taking the kitten to the vets today for his weigh in :) hopefully that time he won't get fleas this time...

    Have a lovely Saturday everyone! Xxx

    You should think about joining as its a good way of meeting new people and the support really helps, as does this challenge and talking to you great guys! My mate said last week that chinese is not to bad in moderation. A little of what you fancy from time to time is good for the soul.;)
    Hope your kitten is okay,

    Didn't get time to post yesterday, but I did do my weigh in, and phew! Big sigh of relief! I lost 1lb. I'm pleased with that as this week hasn't been brilliant for me. Feeling more positive and determined for next week now.
    Btw congratulations on everyone elses weight loss, everyone is doing fantastic! :)
