    Hello everyone I am back from my retreat.

    I managed to weigh myself last friday morning before I went (normally a monday) and I was 8ounces less than at the beginning of the month but that was actually 3lbs loss as I had put on a couple of weeks ago - remember when I fell off the wagon?

    I wont officially weigh again until Monday but will be interested when i check tomorrow morning to see what damage I have done this week- we ate loads - groan!!!!!!!!!!!! although it was fairly healthy (in my defense!!)

    Unfortunately I will not make the 7 target for this month and I am really well hacked off about that but will try again in september.

    Kaz I am sure there must be a mistake when you have put on weight - i can scarcely believe it - you have done so well - but Hey! great news about the machine being back - I think when its there in front of you it encourages you to use it - well I am going to get back on my bike starting again tomorrow because I was good the whole week before I went away.

    well done to everyone else on their losses and (((hugs))) to anyone like me not getting anywhere - please dont give up - we can do it - it helps knowing that there are others who dont succedd as well as the people who lose.

    toots x
    Peace will be mine

    :o:o well another half pound gained but when mother nature decides its time for her to pay that visit in the same weeek I have a birthday it's a miracle it wasn't more than that! And bad planning on Friday meant we did our wedding menu tasting session at lunchtime, then a family visit to TGIs in the evening.
    But on the positive side I did at leats manage a 2lb loss overall for the month so it's the right direction...just rather more slowly than I'd like!

    Here we are again, last weekly weigh in for the month. The wii show me at 15st 8lbs. I've lost count of how many pounds that is again, but definately passed the 7lb goal. Well done to all the losers and hopefully a better September for all those that didn't make it. Will post new start weight on the Sept thread with new scales :(
    Smashed through my weightloss target. Looking at 120lbs+ loss. BMI over 40 down to 20.5. Training hard to get body fat under 20%, not far to go now :j
