    New week - new start for many of us then me included. I was doing quite well last week dispite staying in two fab hotels and having lovely cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner out. Stayed nicely within my 7 glass a week wine limit until Saturday Night and a 50th Birthday Party.

    Had about 4 glasses of wine and a buffet. They are evil those things did not get to eat until 8.30pm and was starving so ate too much I can understand why if you are on a diet it is a good idea to eat at home before you go out.

    Felt a bit rough Sunday it rained all day so could not get outside at all. Had cooked breakfast, a cream cake, crisps sweets, biscuit you name it so so bad.

    Anyway stay the same this week dispite the blib the 10 glasses of wine. Hey here is to day one of a new week.

    A BIG GOOD MORNING TO ALL YOU LOVELY PEEPS :D:D (you're way ahead of me, aren't you? :rotfl: )

    This morning I stepped eversolightlyandgazellelike onto the scales and gcqjh4t.png

    ...... nx3albi.gif....

    ......3vxgtw6.gif

    ...I am so over the moon and I put it down to the support that I have got from all of you each and every day!!! Not only that, I'm also got all that money that I would have spent on classes to spend on myself (it's a good job old :money: doesn't take a cut I'd chop his hands off :rotfl: )...

    ...I will be going a bit lower but I'll be back later to discuss it with you all; by the way my weight this morning was 123.6 lbs, the target of 125 lbs was psychological as it was 8st 13lbs that 1lb below 9st was very important...

    ....Special thanks to (in no particular order)Lois, Connie (I hope you see this, I owe you;) )Victory, Honey, Suggs (aka Pierre:cool: ), Beanie, Erlqueen et al...

    I wish that I could be the oldest AND wisest....sadly it's not the latter :p but my time will come _party_ wooooh hoooh! Beware!!!!!!!

    As it is the start of the week..............

    A gentle reminder..................

    May I make a suggestion in order to help the lovely Lois update the chart this week?

    To save Lois trawling through two weeks worth of posts....

    Can we, when we post our weight loss next week, include in the post the loss for both weeks?

    For example - This Week I lost n lb and last week I lost n lb

    Thanks

    Morning

    Yes Im back, still slogging away.

    Firstly Big Big Well done to Petrichor, on so many counts, your words and help have been great and your determination in getting to your goal is amazing. :j Slim Lady, I salute you :D Can I ask a little favour? you mentioned a friend that had made a slideshow of photos to show the weightloss? Well I had realised I had done two photos last August and October, So had number done yesterday and even cynical old me had to admi the difference is huge :) So the favour was, what did your friend use to do the slideshow? Thanks

    Victory big well done to you also, I haven't bought my swimming trunks yet, I do need to get some, so good on you for buying your nice slinky number.

    Tallgirl well done on the maintain, especially with the wine, Im sure it doesn't do you any harm :)

    Erlqueen the curse is a dreaded one I put it down, in my case, to thinking you have sussed the method to lose weight, however our bodies decide to kick us up the bum, stick out the tougne and laugh in our faces :) Never mind I say, the journey is a long and winding one, with many ups and down and some great laughs along the way. Keep going your doing a great job at sticking your fingers up at your own body :)

    Sorry for been a misery guts last week, I do feel like I am struggling purely because my weight loss is slowing, oh perverse is that! I was actually begining to think of letting myself and everybody down. Part of this is to do with an issue at the Rugby Club, in very short words, I was asked to go back on the Committee as membership sec, withthe intention of delivering a membership database, I said yes as I dont mind but the proviso was I dont know much about microsoft access! membership form redesigned, people now think I am some wizard and have the answer to everything! a well as moaning about the form, but only once the form gets published and not when I am asking for suggestions! Moan Over :)
    Anyway I let it get to me, and that didnt help matters with my mood. he long and the short of it is that I am aiming to lose 1 stone in the 6 weeks 5 days till I go to Ibiza with Mrs Suggs and our five children, getting close would be great but aim high I say. I would then be able to enjoy the holiday without too much worry. :)

    Have a great day all. Sorry for the moan, I was actually trying to explain things :)
