Doesn't weigh in day come round quickly?

I have a 1 lb loss today

(hmph! it was 2 lbs off yesterday, and I was very good all day so it would stay off...well that didn't work lol...and my scales battery was flat, the new battery is much stricter and added a pound on!)

I have NO idea what I'll eat today, that can be dangerous...
must go shopping

Good luck everyone

Hi all

Congrats Ellie - although my scales do that (but then I am awful at checking myself far more regularly than I should... oops)

[A] if you find a way to change your name let me know - I'd love to change mine just in case anyone I know is lurking! Enjoy your research ;p

After a weekend of spoiling myself, I weighed myself Monday to see what damage I had done (I know I shouldn't but keeps me motivated if I then lose it) and had put on an unsurprising 3lbs. However, it seems that I was really really good the rest of the week as I have now gone down 3.75 lbs since Monday so for a week I was expecting to maintain (determined not to put on) I actually lost -0.75 weird amount but it all counts

Have upped my calories on MFP as 1200 just wasn't sustainable, so am now on 1400 a day and struggling to meet it which is much better. I'm less tired and not getting the urge to nibble so much in the evening, and I still lost which is the main thing. Gives me room to manouvre as well once I plateau (which will no doubt happen in about 3-4 weeks!)

Good luck everyone x

Morning all.

I'm going to start making my weigh-in day Saturday rather than Friday, if that's OK, as for some reason I seem to weigh more on Friday than on any other day (I weigh myself daily as my weight can fluctuate over about 5 or 6 pounds during the course of a week - no idea why).

Today goes:

B - two thinnish slices of HM seed bread with HM plum and ginger jam (my last jar of HM jam - I must make some more )
L - dunno, will have to buy something - probably a sandwich and fruit
D - spicy chicken and roast veg salad, followed by the last of the fresh mango and the last of the coconut ice cream :drool:

[A] - welcome in - it's a friendly sort of place.

sachatith - I think you joined while I was on holiday so I haven't said hello until now. :hello: I see from your signature that we have a shared interest - I'm not a member of CAMRA but I do enjoy a nice pint of proper beer. :beer:

Morning all . A 1/2lb loss this week, not sure why as I thought I'd been better than that! But 1/2 off is better than 1/2lb on so mustn't complain
JackieO congrats on the amazing loss, well done you

B - F&F, ss milk, ff yogurt
L - egg salad in WW wm
D - bacon, tomato, mushroom omelette, aka breakfast omelette here
S - melon, celery
E - 1x10 mins done, later have to do the kitchen floor, hands and knees job and it's a BIG kitchen :eek:

Happy Friday

Yey! It is my major downfall with weight gain though, as my best mate and I tend to go down the pub on a Friday night if we're not volunteering (and I just don't have the heart to turn him down!) and then there's the beer festivals.... hehe gotta love a decent pint though

+1lb this week I was sts until yesterday but there you go. I'm wondering if I've reached "my weight" or if I'm just being slack and need to try harder. I'm heavier than I should be but much lighter than I was and I'd rather stay at this weight forever than risk giving up altogether and putting some back on. Hmm, will just keep plodding along I think.

Well done to losers and sts-ers

Hi everyone.
Its a 1lb loss for me this week.:j:j:j I'm not going to reach my target this challenge unless I lose 4lbs this week which seems a bit unlikely. I'm not to bothered though as I'm still going down even if its slowly.
My SiL is having a McMillan coffee morning next week and she asked me to make some scones for it and as I hadn't made scones for years I had to make a practise batch this morning and of course I'll need to try one (or two) out later. Oops!

Hello All

Well first full week at ww and although I have not followed completely, I have been more aware of portion size which is my biggest hurdle, the best thing is that its a 4 mile walk round trip so is forcing me to do exercise each week as the traffic is too bad to get there in time by car:rotfl::rotfl:

So am reporting in with a 3.5 loss

Well done everyone else:T

SIRENS

Well done JackieO:T

I had also lost my motivation, but am now planning small goals to take me up to Christmas.

1. I would like to be able to do up my coat with the zip rather than stratigic buttoning by Halloween;)
2. I would like to be able to buy myself a new skirt at least a size smaller by my birthday/ wedding anni (20th Nov)
3. I would wear a dress and feel good in it for Christmas (never wear dresses as I like to hide under baggy tops)

Small goal that are big achievments to me

Is it time for the new challenge yet?
