Will post weight on Wednesday to give me time to get over the weekend. I am on a fasting day today and am starving,trying to keep out of the kitchen, it's torture! Usually I sail through it, I don't know what is different today.

As said before, I've put back some of the weight I lost since moving to Switzerland over the winter. I lost 1.5 stones, and put back 6 lbs.
Weather has been awful so not as much gardening and walking as normal + injured my knee a couple of weeks ago.But got a real shock at the Dr's the other day, as they found my diabetes has rocketed - which is a real wake up call. So more exercise, will take up swimming again and much better portion and carb control. Have made appointment to go to diabetologist as soon as back from Paris to make sure we get back in control asap. Quite shaken by it all actually.
In the UK I was so well looked after, with 6 monthly appointments at a specialist clinic- but here you are on your own. Also joined the local diabetics association to make sure I get more support.

Up 2lb which I deserve. Bored in Buxton for a couple of days. Shopped at Chatsworth farm shop and Bakewell on the way home (great flapjack!) Cream tea in Coleshill. Out for lunch with friends on Friday and then the Great Malvern Food Festival on Saturday and son + fiancee stayed over last night. Oh, not to forget the gin and tonic marmalade my neice made for me. Also no exercise all week. Lucky to have got away with only +2lb!
Gardening this afternoon and gym tomorrow to try to get back on track. Out every night this week! This retirement lark is hard work!

Weighed first thing and about a pound I think - these dial scales are so hard to read! I was pleased though as expected it to go up - out at a family birthday celebration yesterday and we had delicious cakes!!

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.

Oops gained 500g during my two weeks in Greece, despite sticking to my resolution to drastically reduce the amount of sugar I have.
Combination of too little exercise, too much wine every night and lots of Greek yoghurt and olive oil.
Plus, the Greeks seemed really pleased to see us (as well they might be) and gave us huge portions of everything. Then a complimentary dish of fruit with yoghurt and honey several times too.....

I am getting weighed in the morning I will try to get on to post my result.
I am going away for 4 days with my 2 sisters, so I wont be back on here until Friday evening so if you cant be good be careful wink, so will you all support each other while I am away, if you could just add/deduct your result from the weekly and challenge total when you post it would be great.

grannyeggs the day is almost done hope you have managed to finish your fast day, have you had enough fluids?

Another 1lb. Will try on my swimsuit tomorrow to see if I can get into the old one yet!

GrannyK Tue 28-May-13 10:22:47

After chickening out of weighing myself at all last week , I have been on the scales today after a week of being ( fairly! ) careful and I am up 2 lbs. I know it's not a lot in the general scheme of things , but it is the most (just) that I have weighed all year and as such really depressing. Will try very hard to be extra vigilant this week . I really was enjoying not having to worry about my weight ( and obviously enjoying it too much ! ) sad

glassortwo Tue 28-May-13 11:38:42

galen you are going to get into those evening dresses well done. smile
anno back home and back into your routine, well done smile
grannyk best put behind you, you are in control now you will get back on track.

I have lost 1 1/2lb just as well as I think the next four days will be a little naughty grin

Have a good week everyone.

Have a great time glass and don't worry about your weight, it is only once a year and you should enjoy it.

mrshat Wed 29-May-13 15:35:23

Stayed the same as last week I'm afraid 12st 11.5 oz. Note to self: Must try harder this week.

Grannyeggs Fri 31-May-13 13:32:43

I have stayed the same, and now we are way on holiday on a boat for a month. We are staying in this country, and so pray for sunshine! Will carry on the 5:2 diet, and will try and post weight when I can.
