Ooh, this is all different!
Hi everyone, sorry, I have been absent for a couple of weeks, up to my eyes in work and family stuff since the recent death in the family.
I currently have a visitor staying with me for a week - argh!
I will be back - miss you all and wish I wasn't so busy.31.5/1006 -
Brambling said:Joining seeking flight with a gain this week +1.5lb
I know it was probably from eating my own weight in bread and crumble last week, so although I'm annoyed I have no one to blame but myself
I've inched up on the naughty step come join me, bread and other wheat based foods have been my downfall this week as well and my body is definitely objecting to it, self inflicted
I'm also another whose not that keen on chocolate cake, is he a good cake maker?He's only made it once, and it was very nice, although not a baker he's suddenly interested in baking cakes, bread, biscuits all the foods I'm trying to avoid :eek:I usually make a nice pudding on Sunday, but as he's made cake, they can all have ice cream this weekend (I don't like ice cream much)
I'm sure we'll be off that naughty step next week
The smileys you've chosen look good to me

Just checking in. Meals today:
B - blueberry pancakes with syrup and banana
L - tuna baked potato while out
S - couple small bits of a cakey thing at a friend’s (really just two mouthfuls)
D - husband made HM chicken kievs with skin on baked wedges, sweetcorn and broccoli
Could have done better with veg today!
15k steps though which is good.
Good luck to all over the weekend.Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

The new layout hurts my head
I’m sure I’ll get used to it
:money::rotfl::T5 -
I don't know if it's because I'm on my phone but I'm struggling a bit with the new layout.
Food has been okay the past couple of days but I hurt my back this morning so won't be able to move as much as normal for a little while. On the plus side, it means I wasn't up to going to the pub tonight so will save some alcohol calories...
I hope everyone has a good weekend xx4 -
Good evening everyone
I’m not up to speed with the new layout, so will keep it short.
Congratulations to all who’ve lost weight - no more jumping emojis it seems so I’ll try this 👍.
Brambling I like your suggested new smilies.
Izadora sorry to hear about your back, hope it’ll be better soon, and glad there is a silver (0% alcohol!) lining.
FrugalLina good to hear from you, enjoy your visitor, hope to see you back soon.
Honeythewitch commiserations on your STS, don’t lose heart, keep up the good work.
Yesterday’s food: porridge; tub of hummus with carrot & celery sticks, apple, skyr; grilled steak, green beans & tomatoes; raspberries with yogurt. No snacks.
Today’s menu:
B: porridge
L: jacket potato with baked beans, apple, skyr
D steamed cod with fennel, peas & carrots; cinnamon yogurt
S: none

Oh good grief, I am going to have to live on soup and salad to have any chance of losing weight after being a complete pig this week. I have felt a bit miserable and as usual have self medicated with Doctors Ben and Jerry. I'm even too scared to check my blood sugars as they are going to be so high. I have drunk pints and pints of water to try and flush the sugar out...don't even know if that is possible. Do we still have an angry face emoji? No, we do not.3
