    Hello All,

    Wow, I need to read through this entire thread, it looks like there's loads of us on board and you're all doing really well.

    I'm back from a two week holiday and using my work computer because my laptop has finally given up on me so my entries may be rather sporadic.

    I did not do very well whilst on holiday, for the first week DD was quite ill so healthy meals went out the window as I was eating in between hospital visits and naps! I did manage to complete my running plan for the first week.

    We managed to get away as planned for the 2nd week with DD back to her usual self and eating us out of house and home. Managed 1 run on the 2nd week of the holiday.

    Spent more than intended but not more than I could afford.

    I've lost no weight 0lbs, but I have paid £250 off my debts.

    I will try and read through the thread to date and update anything I may have missed. I suppose going on holiday right at the beginning of this plan was not helpful. Although seeing the photos and seeing my reflection in the shop windows whilst we were sight-seeing (not shopping) shocked me, my self-image is very different to the reality, I look a lot heavier than I thought!! It has had quite an impact.

    Well done everyone :T

  • evening :) Well i've just had a lovely bath....book & wine

    Have failed miserably this week haven't I :o!! I will still weigh in tomorrow as then this should be a great incentive for me not to mess up next week!!!!!

    I don't know whether it's because i had a cold or i am just being a piggy (as my dd would say lol) but i can't stop eating rubbish!

    well done bobble hat for going on holiday and staying the same! I hope i can do that :)

    Well done beanie what a great loss :T and to mandz for reaching money target :D!

    Hello everyone!!!

    Had a brilliant time at the wedding, it was a small wedding with a few guests but perfect in every way. There was about 50 people but we had a fun casino and a great meal and tonnes of food so luckily I weighed in on Thursday as I am a heffer again today!! Haha!!

    I will pop a piccy up in a bit of the wedding!!

    There was LOTS of talk about 'our wedding' ie: when was it gonna be, where, when was the BF gonna propose... I still dunno... I don't think it will be any time soon, as he says, there's no rush (I would marry him tomorrow!!)
    However the BF did say lots of 'at our wedding, we'll do this...' 'we'll invite...' 'we will have...' so at least he's still thinking about it!! We have also decided to have our year anniversary at Centerparcs so that'll be awesome!!

    We have a birthday in the office today so there's gonna be cake :'( I will have a tiny bit but need to get back on the diet ASAP. My goal this week is 86.6kg so another KG off :) which is about 2lb!

    Yay it's friday which means second job payday AND a week til real payday!! yay!

    Going to also write another entry to my blog today, it needs to be done!!

    HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY - THE SUN IS SHINING!!! xxxxx

  • Hey all, just a quick update, lost 7lb!! Unfortunately the £50 I'm trying to make won't happen until early August - sorting out replacement phone from Blackberry recyling is not quite going to plan :(

    Hope everyone else is having a good month!
