Monday 29th May weigh in.

Oh dear done it again, the 29th isnt even a MOnday!!!!I should give up posting last thing before bed, I am asleep with my eyes open.

Sunday morning weigh-in = 156lbs - a loss of 1.4lbs YEH!


Sunday lunchtime Daughter-in-law's birthday lunch with beautiful home made apple pie dessert and the inevitable wine!

Will try to be good for the rest of the week and hopefully there won't be too much damage!

Good luck everyone else!

Well done sba.

I've lost a pound! I'm amazed as been away for 3 days. My birthday today and going out for a meal tonight then away until late Thursday so going to be very hard not to put on weight as won't be able to go to the gym!

Good luck everyone.

Happy Birthday Moved enjoy your excuse to sin!

Thanks sba I've already been a bad girl so no hope tonight!

I have weighed in for the first time, now I have some reliable scales.

9st 5lb or 59.5 kg. That is better that 61kg a few weeks ago. I thought my clothes felt looser. There is no escaping now I have posted! Its a matter of honour.
I am on my 500cals fast day today. I am tempted to go with measuring in Kgs as calculating decimal points of Stones is more complicated.

I am about another pound down this week - still on the difficult to read dial type scales

Nelliemoser, I find I can cope much better with metric, at least in this area. Imperial does not really work with decimals. Metric is based on the number ten and its multiples, so decimals are easy. The name 'decimal' - decima - Latin for a tenth - is the clue.

But Nellie if you go with pounds or stones it sounds like a bigger loss!

Put a pound on! Will. My evening dresses fit in 3weeks time?

Hi all put 4lb o in Corfu despite catching infection have postponed official weigh in til next wk!

move Happy belated birthday , well done to lose 1lb.
sba well done
I have lost 1/2lb which is a wonder after the summer ball on Saturday night and all the champagne and other naughties I had. I should try to be good this week as I am off next Tuesday for a few days with my two sisters and there will be lots of indulging in things I dont usually have while I am away, I blame the infulence of younger sisters.

This week 2lb 11oz
Challenge total 2st 9lb 4oz

Hope it's ok for me to join in.
Started WW on-line last Monday. I lost 2 1/2 lbs. I thought it might be more as I have a lot to loose but will keep going.I have to be good this week as we are away over the bank holiday w/end and that always makes it harder.Well done to all of you . If only it were as easy to take off the weight as to put it on !

ginny its lovely to see you, well done in losing 2 1/2 in your first week, sometimes its the second week when it shows as the body sometimes takes a shock when you first change your intake and holds on to the weight. So dont be disheartened.
It can be hard when we are away but just try to make wise choices and you will be fine, and dont forget that sometimes when we think we are hungry we are dehydrated so make sure you drink lots of water it really does make a difference. Enjoy your break away, look forward to seeing you next week.

This week 5lb 4oz
Challenge total 2st 11lb 11oz

Deeply depressed .
Refuse to weigh myself as I just know I have put on a couple of pounds this week . No real overindulgence all week - just lots of driving around and not much exercise and then AN ENORMOUS BINGE SESSION on Monday evening. No idea why ?????- Haven't actually had quite such a chocolate and biscuit fest for years .
At least posting this will hopefully make me forgive myself rapidly , focus on being back to normal this week , start eating sensibly again and entering it on mfp and get back to the weight where I was happy about three weeks ago .
Oh dear , oh dear !

grannyK just bite the bullet and get on the scales, you may just be surprised it may not be as bad as you imagine..... then you can put it behind you and focus... but if you dont get weighed you will think whats the point and have that biscuit or piece of chocolate.. I always deal with things better if I know the extent of the damage, its the unknown I have no control over....take control and you will be fine.

Hello - lost another half pound this week, now 12.st 11.5 lbs. Rather pleased. Just 3.5lbs to go to get to my first target and then another 7lbs to get to my second target. Keeping fingers crossed. to all dieters.

GrannyK; same here. Got up in the night and ate a huge chunk of cheese as well. And I've started drinking lots of Ribena at night [must stop buying it and make myself drink water instead]. Can you get addicted to Ribena? And that's probably why I'm not sleeping well; too much sugar late at night. And, when I'm tired I eat. Anyway, I'm going to have a complete health kick this weekend and I'm just about to tell the S.O. that he's not staying over this weekend and cooking himself lots of food because I can't do a detox if someone's stuffing themselves with food while I'm doing it. And I want to do some pilates or something in the living room. If I haven't lost some weight by Tuesday I'll give up.

Granny * Tegan you have my sympathy! I have just come back from a few days away, going out for lunch with friends today and then son and fiancee coming for the BH! I don't dare get on the scales! This social life is one of the things no one told me about in retirement. I knew it could be busy but had no idea it would involve so much eating! It is hopeles for someone like me who has no will power when a menu is put in front of me. Why have we got so many friends?

I've put on a couple of pounds this week and we have a local GN lunch on Sunday. Only 3weeks til the holiday.
Still reckon ill get into enough dresses (ever hopeful)

I glass have been trying really hard for two weeks, with only one (or two) little hiccups. I have totally cut out bread which is killing me as I love bread, I have stopped putting sugar in my tea (also really hard) and generally not eating between meals etc.

I do not have a set of scales in the house and was just generally hoping to see a difference in my clothes with waistbands not so tight etc. Does that make any sense?

Oops! forgot to post on Monday. I have got rid of a pound since I came back from France and have now lost a stone since starting the 5:2 diet. My cord trousers are hanging off my backside.

Well, I've told the S.O.not to stay here or do any cooking over the weekend, but he has announced that he is going to get a take away curry tomorrow [which means he will eat it in front of me tomorrow night]. I don't think that's fair if I'm trying not to eat much for a few days . Am going to have a really early night tonight so my tummy might have shrunk a bit by tomorrow. One of the problems is that, when the weather is cold and horrible I have no desire to walk anywhere. I'm still in hibernation mode and it's nearly summer [or is summer; I've lost track].

59.5kg down to 58.9kg just over a 1lb.

I must switch my scales to metric at the back. I can't do the sums easily otherwise. Pleased with self.
