Oh no - a disaster, 1 lb up from my target weight of 10st. And I had stayed at my ideal weight for so many weeks sad
Must take myself in hand before it creeps slowly up again

Hi folks!
I haven't weighed in 'officially' this week as we have been away over the weekend for hubby's big 60 and 'ate well' Friday eve, Saturday eve and both breakfast and lunch on Sunday!

We were away for my usual weigh-in (Sunday morning) but this morning I weighed out of curiosity and think I have stayed the same. Under normal circumstances I would be happy with that. However, I don't want to register today as it could well be a false reading as I have also been a bit poorly aahhh sad as well.

Sadly, I have a history of Vasel vagel episodes, a strange phenomenon when, for some totally unexplainable reason, my blood pressure suddenly drops to my boots. If I don't get the warning symptoms and react by lying down raising my feet and legs, I shortly follow my BP and hit the deck which is what happened yesterday. Unusually I had two episodes within about an hour and followed by a touch of the 'don't stop me!' which may or may not be connected but left me really drained. I will be up and running by tomorrow and back to the scales next Sunday morning!

Good luck to all you other losers though! Half-a-pound is still progress green and sometimes we forget our 'running total' - over a stone and a half in less than six months is brilliant! Looks like everyone has done well so far - great! grin

And you will have deserved every crumb, Notso! I really value this thread as well - it does help keep me right!!

Hi everyone...hope lots of you are getting sunshine!

I've stayed the same this week, but it could definitely have been worse. In the middle of last week I was having a silent but deadly strop about someone so to cheer myself up I went to the rather lush cafe at a local garden centre. I had a cheese scone big enough to use as a foot rest. With butter. Also had a date slice that could have fed the street. Plus a large milky coffee. Hated myself as soon as the last mouthful was swallowed, but have been back on track since then.

It's only because you are all here that I am back on track, so thank you! I will try harder next week.

11st 9 - is that better or worse than last week? I can't remember.
The 2 large whiskies I had after driving back from Birmingham clearly haven't "worked their way through" yet!

Only half-a-pound, but that's 1 stone 8 and a quarter pounds since mid-September! My knees aren't nearly as sore! smile

Yes- I've lost two pounds since last week-wooohooo! That's seven pounds since beginning of January, it's a hard slog but my clothes don't feel so tight!
Glad you enjoyed the party glass and the other ravers!

well done every one, I will post on Wednesday as usual, but am logging in here now to keep focussed. Had an unfortunate incident with a bag of chocolate Easter eggs that we were taking to DH's nephew and family on Saturday-- well some of them got there.hmm

I've lost the plot a bit now, and have forgotten what I was last week, but I do know I have lost 8 lbs since the beginning of January. Need a bit more exercise now.

susiecb Mon 12-Mar-12 09:41:29

Another pound off for me but DH reached target weight today so well done Peter you are looking very svelt and sexy. You will probably live to 100 like your mother! I have 11 lbs to go now.

glassortwo Mon 12-Mar-12 08:04:44
