    Keep going Ellie, I'm sure you will see those scales drop soon.

    I've weighed a day earlier than usual but I think Saturday will now be my weigh-in day.

    I can report a 1lb loss this week.

    Good luck to everyone weighing in.

  • 3lb loss this week! I not expecting to be able to keep the loss up at this rate, I'm aware it's my very first week, but I'm really pleased with myself! Stood on the scales 3 times just to check they weren't lying first time round!

    Well done everyone on the losses this week

    Wow, well done losses, some good numbers there :). And to the rest of us we need to subtract some lbs to add to the weekly total, iyswim!

    B - spicy fruity porridge
    L - 1 scrambled egg, 1 rasher of bacon, 2 crackerbread
    D - pasta bake. Again. Luckily it's very tasty
    S - mini apple pie, baton carrots, 5(!) Celebrations. Oops.
    E - scrubbed the sitting room rug, cleaned the cat carriers - they were disgusting but free, so it was worth the effort. 6x 5 mins on tm.

    Have a good rest of the day :)

    Sue, that's the most thinly stretched excuse for a birthday meal out I've heard for a while :rotfl:

    Sounds like you've had a really good week, bet you have a good loss tomorrow :)

    I know, lol, but she is also our friend as well as MIL's (she's like a third mum to me, MIL being my second one), and it's not as bad as my uncle's excuses to have a party, he used to use the excuse that it was the cat's birthday, lol!

    I am really pleased to declare another 0.5lb lost this week, and even better I seem to have lost about half an inch off my waist and hips, so the gym must be paying off. :D

    that seems perfectly reasonable, of course the cat should have a party :rotfl:

    anyone see a pattern emerging here?
    Those of us who've sworn off chocolate aren't losing any weight...hmm, do you think chocolate has secret weight loss properties? :rotfl:

    I've been so busy today I haven't had time to eat anything extra, and I've nothing yummy in for tonight, so looks like I'll be having a much needed good dieting day on a Saturday :)


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?
