I wont be declaring a weight today as it seems the Witch is hovering again :mad::mad::mad: (Who would be a peri-menopausal woman:eek::eek::eek:)

I can totally sympathise with you, they told me about 4 years ago that was where I was at, nowadays I still get the odd slight show think the last was about 6 months ago. But there are months when I seem to go through all of the symptoms - bloating, erratic emotions etc - as my time was always around about the full moon :eek: the man in my life knows either to stay away or not to say anything that might set me off :rotfl:

I'm at that stage myself Molly [near the end as far as I know] .It does seem to make things much more unpredictable.
Still, got to soldier on I guess. No excuses !:D

Good Morning

Weighed in this morning and happy to report a l lb weight loss!
Seems that I may have been having too many calories and reducing to 1400 per day may have done the trick, but I am not sure how long I can continue on that amount! I will try the same for the next week and see what happens. I feel okay but a bit hungry in the evenings, as thats when I did most of my snacking.
I have been going to bed much earlier at night so I don't get into 'tv watching snacking mode'!!

Well done all the losers so far, I am pleased to announce I have STS this week despite it being TOTM when I would usually gain a pound or two so hopefully I have actually lost some and it will show next week.

Pitlanepiglet - really sorry you've still not lost anything, you are doing really well to stick at it. If you have another week like this I would see you doctor just in case you have any medical reason it's not coming off (some people with thyroid problems find they have a lot of trouble losing weight, I seem to be just about managing it but I'm sure it makes it harder).

i am going to declare a sts today although it is, in fact a decent loss. i have lost the lbs i have put on in the past (rubbish) 2 weeks.
this keeps my official loss to 4lb.
i am really happy with myfitnesspal and although i have always avoided counting cals, it really is making me think about every little thing i shovel in my mouth

so the plan today is to try to stick to about 1600 cals (my daily target is 1200) as i am out for a meal and friday is a bit of a treat day.

the plan is:
porridge & prunes
morrocan stew from the freezer, well i hope thats what it is
out for a thai meal tonight, i just have to avoid the delicious thai curry and will go for a king prawn stir fry or similar
i will also have a couple of glasses of wine as my treat.

hope you are all good, we are in the home stretch into spring at least :j:j:j

Still need to get started on the 30 day shred!

Keep seeing this and wondering what it was - now I know I might give it a go!! Should be good for a laugh (not). If you guys never hear from me again, send help!! I'll be lying in a heap on the garage floor.

I am going to claim the 1lb loss that I was unsure about last week - taking weigh in on the mornings where I'd previously been doing evenings I might have stolen one pound somewhere.

Even though I didn't have a great week it's all good considering where I was at and I am amazed at progress overall. Only getting the occasional cravings for crispy crunchy things, biscuits and such like. I have always had a savoury tooth and a monster for crisps, cheese and crackers. I went to cut a piece of cheese to grate on Chilli yesterday and found the ends and corners had all dried out and gone hard. :eek: There's no way one piece of cheese ever lasted that long before.

Ditto! And feeling quite pleased with myself LOL

I'm STS as 2 weeks ago and still at a 4 pound overall loss even though it rocketed up over half term.

Afternoon all

STS for me this week, not surprised as there were quite a few bad days. Must try harder this week, although I'm off out to the pub for the rugby and then for a curry tomorrow. No excuses for the rest of the week though. :cool: I think I shuold have given up procrastinating for Lent :rotfl:

No time to make lunch this morning so had to go to the cafe at work. Feeling really cross due to an issue at work so bought crisps and chocolate. feel a bit better now I've eaten them but I really need to break the grumpy = food connection in my brain.

Today:
Breakfast: granola bar
Lunch: cheese salad sandwich, wotsits, toffee crisp
Dinner: not planned yet, will try for something low cal to offset lunch.

Exercise: more housework, didn't do much last night as I had a rotten headache in the evening
