    1lb loss for me this week. Such a shame to be 0.5lbs off my 6 stone target but onwards and upwards. I am going to Rome this weekend for 2 nights so not sure whether I will be able to achieve the target next week either. Oh well...will do soon. Think positive.

    The curse of the chart is behind me.

    And talking of smoking, I gave up just after I got married (and then I piled on the pounds) and I was worried that this was the first time I did a proper diet without the use of cigarettes - but it has been fine.

    retiredlady - do you have much more to lose (apart from this fresh 7 lbs)?

    "...LGDNUFC (is it Gladys by any chance?) I must say that your menu plan for today looks great; it never ceases to amaze me how SW ever works :confused: but it does!!! I know for certain though, that if I ate that I would never have lost any weight, perhaps I've ruined my metabolism over the years by 'bad' dieting:o ..."

    thanks petrichor, all i seemed to do yesterday was eat. i have found loads of recipes on the other forum so hopefully i wont be short of good stuff to eat.:beer: what works for some people doesnt always work for someone else.i think if you find one that works stick with it.
    nope, it isnt Gladys!!!:rotfl:

    Gwendoline :D ?

    Welcome back retired lady: of course you are remembered :T

    Fabulous news re the smoking :A and that you are back on plan already.

    Nice to hear from you Ajax. Dreadful to hear you are having to work hard for your money :D . Glad you sound confident you WILL retify any short term damage. That's what it's all about: ups and down but overall more downs.

    Morning one and all

    Im back!! I survived (just) and we won the plate final!!

    Well actually the plate final in this case was a 3rd/4th place play off, but it was still a trophy :) To be fair considering I was so bad I couldnt keep water down Saturday morning, its not a bad result.

    So while my brain still functions, is it Gwendolen? LGDNUFC?? Welcome back retiredlady, 1lb a week isn't too bad, I am sure most of it is artifical so it shouldnt take too long :) and well done on quiting smoking. Hope your doing ok Delly, a very gentle hug for you. and a big hug to my mate petrichor :j thats one hell of a step count :) Well done to efrieze, raphael, Queenie & vickyJ and any other losers I happen to miss out.

    PM
    - Can I echo what the ladies and Ajax are saying? Its all very good advice and all it takes is one small step, but its a step you need to take. The people here will be ahppy to help you on the way. Trust me they great :)

    Victory, regarding Boots and the jumping toddlers, I made a complaint eariler in the year as they moved the scales and it was against the wall, so it wasnt level. I noticed that before I stepped on it it was saying 0.0 or blank. I guess on the plus side it is right by the prescription counter so I have never seen a jumper and it is been watched. Since MrsSuggs moved in there is a digital scale in the house, which is consistently 1lb more than Boots, so as long as that relationship maintains then I will keep using Boots. :)

    ajax, hope all ok with you mate.

    Bails Hugs, hugs, hugs and more hugs for you

    Right back to work for me, for a few minutes, sorry if I have missed you out. I will weigh-in tomorrow, what the result will be I don't know :(

    Edit - I spent so long typing my post that BrightonBelle beat me to Gwendolen :) So how about Gabrielle??
