    Ooh I'm in!! (Don't want to tempt fate but I have been trying for days to get into MSE - been getting withdrawal symptoms!)

    Anyway at my weigh in on Friday I had lost the weight that I had previously put on, I am back to what I was. So total weight loss so far is 6 pounds - fingers crossed for more this week!

    Never forget them!

    I've just spoken to my Slimming Consultant and told her I chickened out last night. She said to not worry about it and that she's doing a class of Thursday I can weigh in at. So I have 2 nights of exercise ahead of me and a couple of days of good eating.

    Hopefully the gain wont be to much!!

    But she said to pick myself up and treat this week like a new one!

    Well Done Dragon!!! I'm really impressed!

    Well completely fallen off the wagon.... weighed myself this morning and think I could have put on 5lbs!!!!! Not a happy bunny.

    To top it all I went swimming last night and have somehow do something to my back... Just booked a Dr's appointment for 11.15am currently walking like I have a carrot somewhere rather painful!! See exercise is bad for you!

    I booked DH and myself on a ghost hunt back before I started dieting, so last night we went, but it was catered, with no substitutions, and we ate at 9.30pm. I didn't make a pig of myself though I'm sure it'll mess up the diet for this week. this is what I ate yesterday.

    No Breakfast (I was working early and hate eating first thing), a ham and thinly sliced cheese sandwich for lunch (with a low fat yoghurt), then a load of steamed veg (microwave ones) with a single thinly sliced pork loin chop (with the fat removed) in a hoi sin sauce, then at the event we had a small bowl of cocaleeki (sp?) soup (I only ate half, so a very small bowl) with a big chunk of bread and then half a chicken with a large baked potato. I ate half the baked potato and all the chicken but only the meat, no skin etc.

    I got on the scales this morning and I've put on a kilo! I know I should only weigh on my weigh in day but I had to know. I just hope by the end of the week I can get back to 97 which is "no loss/gain" but I doubt it.
    I feel like crying. :cry:

    So was your ghost hunt any good? We did one of Saturday which was fab!

    Eh, it was alright, although we had a few people who were miraculously touched or could smell "roses". I'm not a sceptic just a healthy cynic ;) and personally I think it was a load of hewy, but hey I paid me money (50 quid!:eek:) so I takes me chances.

    I've had a much better day today, cut right back on the calories. Muesli and a banana for breakfast. A yoghurt and a ham salad sandwich for lunch (one, whereas I normally have two) and a piece of battered cod (325 kcals) with some salad for dinner. Hopefully if I can be this good every day this week I might be able to mitigate the damage.

    Morning all.

    Well I am currently mid way through a reaction to the codine my dr gave me yesterday :eek: So feeling like very dizzy poo!

    Completely fallen off the wagon, I'm getting weighed tonight so see what I have put on and then will have to reassess what I am do between now and Christmas.

    I'm feeling very much like I'm failing this challenge. But I have decided that as I have paid up until Christmas I will continue to try and lose some weight. If nothing much has shifted by then I will call target. I'm sort of happy as I am, I've just got into the mode of must lose weight!

    So can we take bets on how much I've put on??!!!! I'm going with about 5/6lbs.
