    Morning All

    A quick post as I have a Stability Ball Class followed by work, but just to say I have lost 1lb this week - I was hoping it was going to be 2 but the scales flickered and then decided on 1lb.

    Oh pooh! Just as I thought, a lb on - no, in fact I thought it would be more so why don't I feel grateful?! I'll be notching up :mad: or at the very least :( before long.

    Sorry ragz, can't hilight as I've just lost the mouse and I can't do the little pad thingy so off to Mr A to buy a couple of cheapo ones - is it me or does anyone else go through mice like they're going out of style?

    Have an Olympic day! :)
  • Well done all those who have lost, esp nat 3lb !! :T

    I have STS this week which doesnt surprise me, am just glad I didnt put on. Managed a 40 min brisk walk last night and the scales did hover around 11 11 but settled at 11 12 so same as last week. In my defence :o this is the first week of the holidays. I'm off on Saturday for 2 weeks visiting the family I will not be weighing in again until Fri 24th aug, so I will do my best to eat sensibly and try and get some exercise in, and try to resist fish and chips in scarborough :Dbut not promising ;)

    But I've got a lot of weight to lose so the first few weeks it'll fly off me! I'm planning a 3 day detox starting Monday as I'm feeling very sluggish, bloated and in need of a boost. This always seems to reboost my system and helps with the weight loss. Best thing about it is that it's better not to do any exercise and just let your body do its thing :D

    Morning all :)

    weighed in this morning and have somehow lost 2lb, so I'm back to my pre-pg starting weight again! I wasn't expecting to lost any weight now until after baby, and I'm eating close to maintenance calories (when I bother to log them:o) if not over, so not sure why I've lost so much, unless last 2 weeks I weighed heavier due to fluid retention etc. I know I'm eating plenty, so won't worry about it too much, still 14 weeks to go so I'm sure I'll put some weight on by the end!

    Today:
    Breakfast: yoghurt, babybel
    Lunch: LO beef enchiladas (2 small wraps), apple, plums, kiwi
    Snack: mr kipling cake bar, more fruit when I get home from work
    Dinner: out for a curry with friends.

    Well done to all the losers so far :T

    I didnt end up going to the burger restaurant, we went to another place and I had a duck noodle stir fry with lots of veg, so ended up feeling quite smug and relieved.

    Ive lost 1lb this week, but as I was in negative lbs last week, ragz please can I log a 1lb loss but increase my overall target to 13lbs, please.:)

    Have a lovely day everyone, Im off the the Olympics today :) Inspiration for weight loss Im sure!!
    :)
  • EllaRose well done on the 1lb loss, going in the right direction :T

    Have a fabulous time at the Olympics today :)
