Well done sew I always look out for your posting each week as your staying power is such an inspiration. Well done at hanging on in there! Good luck tomorrow - I will say one for you that the consultant will be able to help flowers
when I was in your position last week following a family wedding and a sinful week - you still lost envy - I put on 3.4lbs (hit 167.2 from 163.8) and shot off the top of the fridge! (My weight chart is on the side of the fridge!)
I started MFP this week and it does keep you focussed except that on days when I think I have eaten well it says I haven't eaten enough, then on days when I think I should have spare calories I am in the red!
I find fresh fruit stacks the calories up - I love my fruit and always looked on it as good to 'fill up' on - apparently not confused!!!
This week I am delighted to say that I have lost 4.2lbs (now 163lbs) but bear in mind that most of what I lost was the result of my 'pig out' but I still appreciate I have lost nearly a pound so I am happy. Hopefully MFP will keep me in line this week.
Incidentally, the thyroid test came back as having returned to normal! I am pleased obviously but bang goes that excuse grin
Good luck everyone!!!

when that's great, so you can still have treats but the MFP is keeping you focused at other times.

sew 1/2lb off fantastic, it's in the right direction and getting together will give you support and it helps to do it together. Hope all goes well tomorrow flowers

Under half a pound off but at least it's not a gain. Well done when to eat and lose weight. Have introduced MFP to two neighbours and were going to meet weekly for support so along with Gransnet support no excuse. See specialist tomorrow and hope some miracle is going to mean I can walk again.

Half a pound lost ths week and all the evidence for my cheating is there on the FitnessPal app! Lots of family visits and convenience meals are to blame, culminating in barbequed spare ribs, a massive home made quiche lorraine and strawberry cheesecake with wine yesterday. Back to normal today. No catering to do, all the tempting food has gone. Got to try harder - there's a wedding coming up in 7 weeks.

butter if friends have noticed you have done very well as it takes a while for people to see a difference. This low carb book certainly makes you think. I love potatoes and bread too (think it stems back to childhood staples) and as much as I cut them back when I am trying to loose weight I always have some or I have cravings so this will be a challenge. hmm

I'll be watching, glass wink! Good luck x

Still seem to be keeping trimmer, and I'm sure it is down to less carbs. I can't do without them - love potatoes and bread - but now limit them just a bit. Friends are beginning to comment that I'm slimmer, so even without the scales, I feel I'm on the right track! smile

Well here we are last weigh in for July, where is our summer?

Against my better judgment I have agreed to start a low carb diet with my DD who suffers from POCS she feels on having read up on the diet that it will help her. I cook for us all so as I need to be cooking the same menu for everyone we will see... watch this space hmm
