    Good evening all,
    I have some good news but somehow I don't know if I have done the right thing.;)
    Firstly I stayed the same. A dead 12 stone. I really wanted to get into the 11's but alas it was not to be :mad:
    When I got weighed it was mentioned that I really did look skinny in my leggings.
    I was asked again about setting my target, maybe now or quite soon.
    I had a think about it and decided that I would set it tonight.
    So now I feel quite guilty that somehow I have cheated! :eek:
    I got my lovely target certificate and my last ( ? ) shiny certificate.
    I should feel elated and over the moon, but I don't.
    Have I done the right thing?
    Does anyone think I have cheated?!
    I set my heart on the 6 stone but have only lost 5 stone 8.5 lbs.
    I am now wracked with guilt thinking oh! heck, what have I done. The only good thing :D is that I don't need to pay anymore so long as I stay within my target range.

    My thoughts also went to Piglet, she has done so marvellously well, :j changed her target a whole stone and is now struggling.
    I feel like I have copped out!
    I could not face being a failure, please forgive me! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done to all the losers, sts, strugglers and cheats! :rotfl: ( that's me ) :rotfl:


    You are not a cheat!! You have to do what makes you happy, and no offence to piglet we have all seen the struggles :grouphug: and sometimes when you relax your view to weight loss as you would if you were at target - the weight seems to come off that little bit easier. But on the other hand some people find the incentive of paying each week helps them focus and they lose that way...

    What I'm getting at is that everyone is different and you have to do what is right for you.

    Plus, you should be so proud of yourself, for how well you have done. :T

    If you are aiming for Extra Easy your tea looks a bit light on superfrees - PEAS are NOT superfree - they are free like your mash!

    Just remember that 'in theory' 1/3rd of every plateful should be superfree...

    Morning all,

    Just a quick one as work calls :(

    GT: massive well done on getting to target! As other have said, you have NOT cheated- most times you never know how you're going to look and feel at a certain weight until you get there, and it sounds like this weight suits you :)

    Snoopy: Sorry to hear of your loss ((hugs))

    KKK and MM: Great losses, well done!

    Becks- that is really bad of SW, they should give you at least a refund. I thought all of their scales were meant to be calibrated every week?

    Anyway, today's menu- EE:
    B: Banana on toast (HEB) with butter (3.5), milk for drinks (HEA)
    L: Roast veg, bulgur wheat, Quorn chicken
    T: Spag bol with half mince, half Quorn mince
    S: Greek mullerlight (0.5), fresh pineapple, passion fruit, Polar biscuit (6)

    p.s. Made thai red curry with the coconut Greek Mullerlight yesterday, as suggested on here (can''t remember who by, sorry) - OH sussed me as I had got the pot out ready but obviously hadn't hidden it as well as I thought! He was dead against the idea (hates yogurt and not very adventurous with food anyway) but I made him try it and he agreed that maybe I could make it again, if it was better for my diet to use that than coconut milk - in other words he liked it but wouldn't admit it. VICTORY! :rotfl:
