Well I hope you have all had a good week, I have been out for a late Sunday Lunch after spending the day at the house strimming all the pathways which have all become overgrown in the two weeks since we were up there, so I feel very full and dont think I will be able to eat for rest of the week (someone remind me of that please).
Another quiet week from you all...... could be one of two things you have been very good you have sailed through the week or you have well and truely fallen off the wagon. 
Why has it taken me this long to discover "my fitness pal". It's brilliant !
You have all been talking about it for ages , but I just viewed it as yet another thing to spend time online doing- and goodness knows, I have enough excuse for that already.
However- went in and signed up yesterday and it is fabulously simple and really focuses the mind .
Feeling extremely positive 
Thank you everyone for your good wishes - this is confession time - we had the older two GC for a sleepover Tues night and had picnic buffet supper with all the things I shouldn't have had 
'Little' things like sausages on sticks, garlic bread, bakewell tarts etc. I am afraid I sinned reverend mother 
On the bright side I have been better since and have kept my calorie count on MFP just below the daily number so I am hoping by weigh-in time it will have evened out.
Please can I be forgiven reverend mother glass 
?
Thanks Alison - do you weigh every day? If so you are probably getting a false result. I always 'officially' weigh on Sunday morning after my shower and before even a sip of tea! I have 'looked' every morning some weeks and like you have been shown as heavier but by the time the weekly date pops up it seems to settle so don't take too much notice of a daily weigh
You probably didn't take in too many calories before your evening out so your little bit of indulgence wouldn't necessarily take you over the limit. That is what I like about MFP -you can 'reserve' a few calories for a treat in the evening and have something to look forward to!
Glad you enjoyed your evening out. We had a farewell lunch for my Boss yesterday and the Mediterranean Chicken was delicious. You can eat well and not exceed MFP targets but you need to try and consume the calories it says you NEED. I believe that's where I was going wrong before MFP came into my life!
Good luck
Reverand mother is away now Sbagran, having a Grand Designs week on their new house. I'm sure she'll be able to an eye on us from a distance though! I love your description of sauages on sticks, garlic bread and bakewell tart as 'little things' !!! Daren't ask what the etc was!!
MFP still seems to be helpful for lots of us. Having ignored it last week and gained weight, I'm back to filling it in each day. I feel a bit more in control now.
Salmon dish sounds good jeni
Delicious runner beans are finally cropping well and now feature in every evening meal. (I did try to make wine from them one year as I had so many, but the result was gross)
Bez I share your excuse DH does all the cooking these days!
Confession time for me too , I really don't know why, but I stopped at coffee shop on my way to having my hair cut yesterday (I was half an hour too early for appointment) and I had a cappuccino AND a slice of carrot cake. The lady at the next table did remark that I seemed to be enjoying it!
I'll bet you did Yoga!
With all these meet ups perhaps we should have a fatties one after Christmas when we are all at our worst! [cake]
I'd love to join in with a South East meet up.
Ariadne - I said South EAST - not Devon, sorry but Devon is a little too far for lunch for me
