Monday 26th March Weigh in

It's working already (at least, it is today!). I feel like all you Gransnetters are watching me when I go in the kitchen - if it works, it's an inspired idea!

No tears have been shed,my weight was exactly the same down to the last ounce.My better half did shed a few because I said that if I lost any weight I would do 3 laps of my alloment in the nude(not a pretty site)She wouldn't believe I was only joking. It was too close for comfort. I won't be making silly promises like that again.Just assumed there was no possibity

With the decorating, the condemned boiler and the course I've got to do [now 7 months behind with it!] I'm just picking at food and not getting any proper exercise. My diet seems to consist of toast, porridge and horlicks; could be worse I suppose, but I feel very bloated. The bread eating has got to stop. Think it'll have to be an April start now .

ronald thats one saving grace in not loosing this week

crimson I am the same with bread, especially white it does terrible things to my insides, I try to avoid it but every so often I fall of the wagon. April 1st is as good a day as any to start

I posted a couple of weeks ago to say that I needed to lose 4lbs. It sounds easy, but I am afraid to say that after a lovely weekend away in a hotel with friends, I now need to lose 5lbs. I'm trying to lose some this week before going away for a week with all the family. At least I am still a stone lighter than at the same time last year.

maureen even having a small amount to loose is a challenge. I have to get my head in the right place to loose weight and I have to do it for me.

Just try to cut back on biscuits/cakes/bread and have more veg and you will see it come off, sometimes upping you exercise can make a huge difference. But as you have already lost a stone you know which way suits you, its just getting into the right place, good luck

Enjoy your week away with the family I would maybe tempted to have a break and start when you get home.

I've completely cut out bread over the last few months. I've found that I really quite like Ryvita -sad old me! Bread really made me feel terribly bloated - and since I've given it up, my digestion's been so much better, too.

The lovely ones with pumkin, sesame and sunflower seeds are really delicious, green (and a bit expensive), but so much nicer than the 'cardboard' we all grew up on.

Carol yesterdays jelly beans don't count - we didn't start until tonight!
How have you got on?
I haven't had a nibble mission at all this evening (gloat emoticon!) and don't think you have - like you say, you feel now you are being watched and that has to be good! DH is home tonight so that helps - I am worse when he is on nights and I am home alone! He did wind me up though offering me a choc bar or crisps!!! I politely-ish refused
Anyone else who wants to join the anti-nibble-missionaries are more than welcome!!!

Thanks glass for all your support xxx

Sbagran I'm doing really well. I had soup and a small salad at 7 pm, then an apple, glass of fresh apple juice and nothing but a cup of tea since then. I really don't feel the urge to graze this evening, and will be going to bed in half an hour. Even if it works for a few days (and I hope it will be more) it certainly was a good idea.

The jelly beans are now with the baking ingedients in the cupboard!

YEH Carol well done - be in touch tomorrow evening - same time same place!!!

Well done to you, too Sbagran. I'm feeling newly motivated now!

Go girls

Well done sbagran. I have lost a pound, so am happy, I''m slowly moving down through the tens.

Fantastic golden well done.

I may need to make a confession later, I have been in the kitchen all morning making biscuits for the school Easter Fayre tomorrow and I am spending the afternoon icing them, might be a little hard to resist a little nibble

We're watching you glass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carol I must warn you that putting things in the baking cupboard just doesn't work!!
In mine(and I don't do baking) are salted nuts,bourneville choc and mini apple pies!!!

I don't know WHAT (indignant!) you mean nanachrissy! All I have in my baking cupbaord are jelly beans, 70% chocolate, grated chocolate, rolling icing, orange and lemon slices, glace cherries......Oh! Perhaps I do.....!

Well girls I have been out to the theatre this evening to see my darling grandson (aged 8yrs) being the front part of the boat! Wonderful stuff - brought the house down!
Bonus is that I have not had the opportunity to go on a nibble-mission! I was busy when I got in from work until it was time for my meal and off out!
Hope everyone else has managed to resist - good luck all!

chrissy had you made those mini apple pie with you fair hands, is that why they happen to be in your baking cupboard

Had a busy day today, and have not been tempted to graze. I have just had a mixed berry Geobar (120 cals) and a cup of tea, and will shortly be going to bed. Just watching The Apprentice - You're Fired.

Well done carol another nibble-mission-free day!
Had a great email from a friend of mine who blames her fridge magnets for the fact she keeps going to her fridge?
Apparently the metal fillings she has in her teeth keep being dragged there by the magnets

That must top the list of the best excuses I've ever heard Sbagran

Good morning all hope you managed to avoid the munchies last night.

I fought off the Easter Bunny biscuits and they will soon be off to school so that temptation will be out of reach, until this afternoon and I am expected to buy cake to boost the funds

That's so funny, (thinks...I must get some more fridge magnets!)

Glass How very dare you!
