OK - another couple of pounds and I'll be in the overweight range according to the NHS BMI chart.
It's not going to happen (determined emoticon)!
How's everyone else been doing this week?

Oh jingle, I am tbuenvy, of your weight I mean. I'm nearly a stone more than you. I did get it going downwards a bit, but staying at DD1's for a few days was my downfall. I couldn't refuse sausage and mash, could I?
I've just had a Hot Cross bun (with butter tbushock) and I'll start again tomorrow. You've given me something to aim for.

I'm a little bit tbuenvy about you going to Rome as well.

Italian ice cream......

People do go to Rome just to eat the cakes don't they?

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Apr-15 22:46:24

Tegan the last one is his. I'm keeping my hands off! shock

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 04-Apr-15 22:45:44

And then I'm off to Rome on Wesnesday for a few days. And DD has already emailed me pictures of the delicious looking cakes on offer in the cafes. I'm gonna have to start all over again.

I hit the Lovage last week;inherited a bottle. It was lovely but not sure how alcoholic is is/was confused. jings...pretend it never happened [but you have to eat the last one for that to work wink]...

On Wednesday I rejoiced! I had the 9 up. Yes, alright! 9st 13 and 3 quarter pounds. But the 9 was there!

Yesterday I made hot cross buns. A dozen. There are just DH and me here. There is now one bun left.

I daren't weigh. I've probably ruined it all. sad And now comes the choccie....

DON'T LOOK IN THE CUPBOARD!!!!

Marelli Sat 04-Apr-15 21:31:35

grin - the only great job I'm doing, glass, is not looking in that bl..dy cupboard....!

glassortwo Sat 04-Apr-15 20:30:03

You are all doing so well. Marelli is doing a great job xxx

I HAVE LOST THE PLOT BIG TIME.

Marelli Sat 04-Apr-15 20:27:59

And me....blush

whitewave Sat 04-Apr-15 19:48:31

Me and you tegan blush

Tegan Sat 04-Apr-15 19:22:55

Same here Marelli; have cut right back and have lost a few pounds. Realise I just CAN'T have anything in the house that I shouldn't eat, as I have no self control whatsoever. Sticking to three meals a day and trying to sleep a lot [I can't eat when I'm sleeping!]. I feel so fed up when my weight creeps up; I worked so hard at losing it and then it's as if I get some sort of mental block and eat anything that isn't screwed down for a while sad.

Gradually going in the wrong direction again - feeing disheartened but fatalistic - bad combination tbuconfused

Marelli Sat 04-Apr-15 15:25:49

How's everyone doing? I'm in desperate need of chocolate and my mind keeps wandering towards the large box of Dairy Box (still unopened in the cupboard). I've made myself a mug of chocolate Options....
I think I've lost about 3 pounds since I began cutting down, so I must not give in to looking into the cupboard tbuwink

Galen, it's so difficult to lose weight when it's nigh-on impossible to exercise (walking, etc). Are you following any particular regime to help you lose weight?

Galen Tue 31-Mar-15 12:10:28

tbusad actually

Galen Tue 31-Mar-15 12:09:53

Only 4 stone to go[busad]

Galen Tue 31-Mar-15 12:07:32

Marmight Mon 30-Mar-15 23:21:33

I think I may well disappear when I get back too grin

Anya Mon 30-Mar-15 22:54:30

That can happen in cold nights.

Marelli Mon 30-Mar-15 22:52:54

I would ask him to wave them in front of you too, Marmight, but by the time you get back here, they'll have disappeared.... wink!

Anya Mon 30-Mar-15 22:34:44

You can be arrested for that Marmight tbushock

Marmight Mon 30-Mar-15 21:48:58

You should be so lucky Marelli. I wish someone would wave their mis-shapes in front of me gringrin
