    Gosh, I managed to get out of tesco without buying a choccy bar to eat while waiting for the bus! :j

    Got loads of reduced veg as well. 3 packs of chestnut mushrooms for 25p each (mushroom stroganoff coming up). Bag of carrots for 16p to do my coleslaw with. And managed to offload £10 of coupons. So a good mse outing for healthy food, very pleased.

    Hopefully my breastmilk is using up a lot of calories. Iris was weighed this morning and is 9lb already, health visitor was gobsmacked!

    Feeling very positive now, almost can't wait for my first weigh in.

    I've lost 4lbs :T :T :T :T :T

    I don't know who was more shocked me or the leader :D I got off and on again just to make sure :D So in total I've lost 8 and a half pounds:D :D:D I couldn't stay to the meeting (OH going out and needed the car) so I'll get my half stone award next week:T :T :T

    Changed my mind about the stuffed mushrooms, we'll have them tomorrow so I had a baked sweet potato(Ta to Nix for the idea) and I did leek, celery, courgette and peas in frylight, added fresh mint, oregano and basil (all from my herb garden) then topped it with some feta - YUMMY!!!
    I'm now comfortably full so probably won't have anything else tonight.

    Called at Sainsbugs on the way home and got loads of reduced veg/fruit so I'll make a fruit salad in a bit. The only thing I've done different this week is eat loads of fruit so I think I'll keep it up :D

    See you tomorrow folks :A

    MrsM, have you finished the X-stitch you were doing for your mum for crimbo? Every time you say about pootling in the potio, I mean to ask:o Plus I thought about the 'reddit reddit' too:rotfl:

    OK....the offspring have just interrupted my floe, so I've forgotten who it is whose got a hot date coming up:think: Not wanting to put a dampener on it, but please let someone know where you'll be; have a warning signal in place too, along the lines of "Hope your cat feels better soon" so you can make an innocent-sounding phone call just in case you need help quickly:o Karntcha tell I've had experience wiv teenage daters:p

    As for me....we-ll :rolleyes2 I don't get sea-sick now when I walk! Plus I step out rather when I'm on form.....Me muvva was watching from the car whilst I went to the Post Office, & had a huge grin across her chops when I got back. "Oooh you can see you've lost a good bit from the back!"............ :rolleyes: it's s'posed to be a compliment:D

    Well done Rockie!

    Eventually got 3 new bras in Evans...but had to go up a size to ensure that I didn't have boobs back and front...IYKWIM...felt very bad about that and didn't even tell anyone...had vouchers so they only cost me a tenner so very MS

    Weigh in to-morrow, hopefully there will be some reduction...not in a hopeful mood tonight, the 3 pancakes I had with DGS2 probably didn't help much!

    Night all

    Morning Peeps,

    Well weigh in this morning said I was 18st 3lb so that's 4lb down on last week. A bit cheesed off as I wanted it to be more.

    I guess it's a bit odd for me weighing weekly as the needle doesn't move so much :rolleyes: Still, it's 1 st 1 lb in a fortnight so it's better to look at it like that I supose :D

    Hope the rest of you have a good WD, fingers crossed.

    Well done on your loss Rockie :T Now why is it that I can think you've done BRILLIANTLY and I suck? :o
