Good morning all sunshine

How was your weekend?

galen how are you?

I have had a good but tiring weekend but managed to make healthy choices which I am pleased about. But feel weary this morning.

'morning Glass. sunshine

I am 4 and three quarters pounds over what I was two weeks ago, when I was feeling so pleased with myself. sad Gonna really give it a go this week.

Galen Mon 11-May-15 10:22:40

[hm] yesterday 14. 1
Today 14. 3
Give up!

Tegan Mon 11-May-15 11:20:45

Don't give up Galen; my weight is still going up sad.

Losing weight is always more difficult than gaining it, good wishes to all trying to lose. GD4 has just joined Slimming World again so we are all eating more veggies, salads and fewer carbs. Hopefully, the winter pounds will melt away wink. Evil twin GD5 is stoking up on sandwiches, not salad and extra helpings of everything. Sibling rivalry can be tricky. GD4 busy halo polishing. Last week, both were 'orrible, so easier with just one being stroppy.

Keep on trying!

Can I join in? I'm trying to lose a stone or so .. I was 11: 12 now 11:9 but I stupidly made scones at the weekend and OH bought clotted cream , you can guess the rest..
Today is a new day.. its not much to manage is it, just a few pounds but why is it so hard??

I know all about that tanith I had a baking afternoon on Sunday. Strawberry and Apricot cake with lashings of cream, cheese scones, mince and onion pie..............

Today I feel like I am wearing a lead weight around my middle.

Must try and eat healthy for the rest of the week.

Hello again. Up by 2.5lbs over the weekend - so despondent and I wanted to be a whole lot lighter before my trip to Ireland next week sad

Notso Tue 12-May-15 07:06:53

Hello....can I join in again? I lost 4 stones a couple of years ago with the help of Glass's thread. I then put 2 stones back on, but since Christmas I've got a stone off again. Still several stones to go though!

Good luck everyone smile

I went back on what I regard as my 'serious' diet yesterday and I have lost two and a half pounds overnight! Yes I know - all water, but who would have thought you carried that much water around with you?! It was quite cheering though. smile

glassortwo Tue 12-May-15 09:41:45

gillybob you couldn't just, very quietly, pop the recipe for strawberry and apricot cake on in the recipes section could you? Sounds delicious and the strawberries in the shops have suddenly become very nice. (Not that I'm gonna make it of course grin)

glassortwo Tue 12-May-15 09:49:31

jingle shock grin

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 12-May-15 09:49:52

I was in Iceland at the weekend and saw they are stocking Slimming World dishes, frozen. I bought the beef in red wine gravy with vegetable crush. Looks lovely going by picture on the packet. 355 cals.

gillybob Tue 12-May-15 09:55:56

Will PM you jings wouldn't want to be seen as an accessory to the crime of cake eating. It was pretty bloody lush though and as light as a fairy . grin

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 12-May-15 09:57:11

Oooh. Thank you. smile

glassortwo Tue 12-May-15 10:17:55

gillybob Tue 12-May-15 10:28:26
