    Wow!! Fantastic! This is what i wanted ppl opinions on, I was going to ask if a 3lb weight loss a week, is unrealistic? But 5.5! I'd be in heaven!

    I'd be ecstatic with 3lb!!! heck.. I'd be delighted with 1lb!!!!!!!!

    I just seem to STILL be swimming between 11st 11 and 11st 9..

    I swear all the fat off my butt is heading up to my boobs!!!

    breakfast today.. spaggy bol
    lunch chicken pastie, ginger square and a jam tart! :eek:

    Ijust can't stop eating today.. I am stuff now though so hopefully I'll manage until dinner..

    Tonight we are having chicken casserole.. with jacket potatoes.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for 'bathroom' scales. Mine are geriatric digital ones. Purchased before we moved here (17 years ago LOL!)

    They have never been very reliable. Seem to have 2 mindsets. Can't get a steady reading at all, was wavering between 78.5kg nad 81kg this morning! I don't really use them consequently, but feel that maybe they would be a useful tool in monitoring progress. I don't need to lose quickly (well, it would be nice, but I'm more into feeling well and a general down trend would be good!)

    Would be please to receive 'reviews' of what you all have. A long time ago I worked for WW, so had a very good set of scales! LOL!

    I brought abt 4 weeks ago, a Salter electronic glass scales, from Boots, they were £13 something, down from £19.99, they are easy and very clear to read.

    Obstacle over! Having had no idea what I was going to eat today.... dangerous.... have got through to lunch time.

    I decided that a sort of cooked brekkie would be good, so free range egg, some Aldi low fat smoked ham (It's like parma ham, but I like it as 'mock bacon', fold each slice in 4 and then lightly fry) microwaved tomatoes, a few mushrooms from the freezer and a few stray baked beans in the fridge for "good" carbs. Now all I need is a mug of tea. THink I will make D & DD's pepper hummus for substantial snack for later, there will be supper at the quiz.

    Well done to all the losers!
    My weighin is not til Tues, but I'm crossing my fingers already!

    purpleivy -i got a fab set of WW scales from amazon, a damn sight cheaper than buying direct from WW. They store your first reading and previous so tells you how much you've lost total and since you last weighed. Can store 4 people's details and has BMI, fat % etc. Bit of a 'mare to set up but once thats done very easy!

    today i've not done too bad

    B: two weetabix
    L: cheese toasty :p but then had a couple of bits of dairy milk caramel (only a couple of squares!!) :EasterBun


    Got HM chilli for dinner, so hoping to be Q healthy & keep rice portion Q small.
    Altho been invited to friend's house tonight and her OH makes fab pancakes.....g2g tummy rumbling @ thought!!
