    4/15 AF please. Need to get those weekends under control!

    Pricey, welcome, you're dealing with an empty nest and it would be good for you to fill the hole with something sociable that is also healthy. Maybe a class in something you've always fancied? Hugs x
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Hi all

    I am up to 9AF now, and one for the SNC please :)

    Shaggy, I was so happy Saturday morning, jeans that haven't fitted me for 3 years are a perfect fit!!! I was dancing around - and it weirdly made me motivated to do stuff around the house.
    I haven't weighed myself recently, but I am clearly losing inches :)

    Satchmo1 - thank you, you actually brought a lump to my throat:o I have started learning Spanish, tried it before 7 years ago, but was too busy then. I'm still busy with work and DD3, but I certainly do feel very empty :(

    I met up with colleagues this evening that I generally only see at the end of the week and really fancied a drink afterwards, I'm such a creature of habit. Determined to be AF so ate crisps and chocolate instead.:o But...3AFDs please Shaggy.

    I am now able to wear a pair of jeans that I loved. :)

    Well done Shaggy and Tracy! Did you really have a food free weekend!?! :eek: I feel cheated if I haven't managed at least three meals a day and any day that allows for second breakfast is always good! At fat club last night we all agreed to go for 5 lbs over the next 5 weeks, came away vv motivated.

    I have had far too much wine every night over the weekend and I was feeling decidedly jaded until an AF day yesterday so that's 3/10 for me please Shaggy.

    Have a good Wednesday all!

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
