A pound off for me this week.Not much I know but a 100% improvement on the past few weeks.Im trying hard to get back into it.
I have woken up with a really painful knee today and am having trouble walking on it.OH is moaning at me to get it looked at but im worried the doc will just say I need to lose weight and fob me off, and I will be embarrassed saying my bad knee is down to my weight problem.
Oh the trouble my weight causes me.0 -
Ive had a nightmare day today
I started off with 2 x weetabix and 250ml semi skimmed and went off to a meeting, where I got stuck for much longer than anticipated and grabbed a panini. Was quite small and I shall brave looking up the syns in a mo! Then I bought 2 alpen lights, so thats another HEB, which is good! Then I had to take my brother somewhere at teatime, only just got back and am starving
And to top it all its day 1 of star and I feel like crap. My scales have been kind and reckon its 1.5lb off, will see tomorrow though!
Whinge over lol.
Well done northernlass and Shal on your losses, brill stuff!0 -

I did wonder about this the other day, and thought maybe they dont make it into a flour sub? I suppose just by baking it it has become a flour sub. I shall bring it up at the group tomorrow, as they have blamed poor weight loss on eating too much in one go, when its likely to be those syns!0 -
I have decided to go back to my food diary from week one when I lost 5lbs and im going to follow it for the next week to hopefully kickstart me and get me back into it.
Ive done a big on line shop and ordered everything I need so no excuses, mullerlights are on offer 4 for a pound in Mr Ts so Ive stocked up.
The warm weather had made me realise I am uncomfortable, Im being a godmother again in October so would like to wear something nice then.
Im all fired up now.
Well done to all the losers and good luck to those who have yet to weigh in.0 -
Off to Bradford to see a client today. Early start and worrying about what I will eat today. Got my tea all sorted, Gammon steak, egg and SW chips and having weetabix in a minute.
Will have to resist the biscuits, but they want to take me out for lunch.. I am not too good when I go out so will have to try and make wise choice.
See you all later....
PS When I come home later I am going to try to make SW carrot cake. I don't like it but I am hoping to convert OH. Then off to Tai Chi tonight to see what thats like! No chance to hop on the Wii fit today then...Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
