I’m a pear !

Fourormore I think you food restriction has had the effect of making you lose a day, the wedding is on Saturday ?

That sounds good to me NanKate except that I’ll only be in my third day! Thanks for the calorie counting tip, I’ll start that straightaway.
Onward and downward!

Knew I'd lost something haha!
I have been convinced all day that today is Friday but that's senior moments for you!
One consolation is that I have an extra day of discipline before I weigh again on Sunday. Fingers crossed.
I am lucky (or unlucky?) that I am on some medication at the moment so will be alcohol free for the wedding - pain but helps the calorie count so every cloud ...

We are babysitting this weekend so no time for weddings! Also, not much control over what we eat. Ho hum !

Morning fellow slimmers.

Well I took yesterday off for the wedding and I quickly saw myself slipping back into my old habits of grazing.

I drank two and a half glasses of sparkling, crisps, olives, cheese wrapped in ham, mozzarella cheese, choc ginger biscuit, two chocs, half a meringue and cream and this is as well as a s sandwich lunch and stuffed pepper and salad supper. All of this extra food must have undone the previous few days abstinence. So let that be a lesson to me.

Back on the calorie counting again.

How did you folks do ?

That is not much of an example to show the other dieters NanKate..............I am SOOOOOOOOOOO surprised at you!!!!!

Whilst you are all trying to shed those pounds,spare a thought for poor me, I am on a mission (directed by Medics) to gain 9 pounds by the 29th of this month.
I have managed a whole 3 pounds after much struggling let me say ............only to have again lost another pound............grrrrrrrrrrr

Doesn`t life seem so unfair at times?

I am certainly very much at the opposite side of your scales girls....... yet I urge you all............give it your best.

It is lonely here...... all bone with not a lot of flesh to give me back my womanly curves!

and for all .

Bless you Panache! I know where you could get 9lbs from (and more!) but sadly it doesn't work that way - as you say life is so unfair at times.
Sunday morning weigh in not good - somehow I have put on nearly a pound and a half
I have to blame the wedding as yesterday was the only day all week when I admit I was a couch potato.
Never mind - no point in fretting - today is sin-day so a few little treats are lined up. I will be more aware today but it will have to be a concentrated effort from tomorrow as it's just four weeks to my holiday.
Good luck everyone (including you Panache - you are so encouraging to us all as hopefully we can be for you!) as we start a new week!

Nankate !!! Even I wasn't that bad haha!
New week new start!

Very surprised to find I lost weight over the weekend - something to do with two toddlers, escaping chickens and a puppy perhaps? Now at 2st 12lbs. That is 8 lbs since we started this thread.

Well done Jane! Keep it up everyone! I am still miffed at having put on last week but did lots of walking today so fingers crossed for next Sunday.

Chin up............pounds down........keep going girls,sadly there will be a few hiccups along the way, but just think of the day you each hit your targets.
There will be such rejoicing.

A GN version of the “very hungry caterpillar”?
I seem to have gained a lb but my right leg is very swollen (thrombophlebitis)) so I am thinking it may be fluid retention? Or maybe pinching the odd chip from the DGCs?

Well done Jane4D keep at it, a really good result for you.

Fourormore I think the two of us are the strugglers but we will get there in the end like the tortoise and the hare.

Not heard from Teetime for a while must check her out.

It was my designated day off Mawbroon I had warned you all. Now back on my regime.

Sorry to hear about your leg.

Hallo all two weeks in and only 2lbs lost but at least its not going on and I am eating healthily. Also today I found I can get a soft trainer on (well my golf shoes but I will get the version without studs from Sketcher) and next week I should be off crutches and allowed to walk a little(depending on the x ray) so hopefully the weight will come off.
I hope you are all happy and well. Just to say NanKate if I had that lot in my house I would eat it as well... I hope you enjoyed it.

Teetime only had that wonderful food in the house because my oldest friends drove 100+ Miles to be with me for the Wedding as I was alone AND they brought the lunch I would have been rude to refuse it ?

Indeed it would. Unfortunatley I sort of made a cake and ate some today.

I think I need to send Mrs Willpower to each of your homes!!...........whilst I am still making no headway in gaining weight............Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It’s not fair is it Panache we are all struggling either to put the weight on or take it off. As a child I was called ‘the little one’ I certainly can’t take that name now. ?

Panache I posted last week asking GNers to send me a bag of willpower
Well it worked!
Ist slimming world weigh in last night and I have lost 6lbs.
I do know (having attended many a slimming class over the years) that the first weeks loss it is mostly water as opposed to actual fat.
Next week I would be very happy to shift a pound or two of fat

Forwarding the bag of willpower to my fellow GNers to be used as required
(having of course kept a little back)

Very well done Cherrytree so pleased for you. Keep us all up to speed with your progress.

I too am pleased that I have lost 2lbs, even with the mini binge on Saturday.

Now here is my worry, tomorrow we go off for 5 days to help with the GSs and my DS has given me a list of food he has got in to cook as he will be away some of the time. The following weekend we are back down helping with the GSs, then the following week a mini holiday to some family.

To be honest June is going to be tricky to monitor my food but I will try my best to keep to my present weight.

Isn’t this weight business a bu**er ? However without your support I wouldn't be feeling lighter and better as I am, so a big Thank You ?

Good morning everybody. My first weigh in this morning and I’ve lost three pounds. I’ve had an up and down week with two meals out so I think this is quite good. Please keep sending regular doses of willpower Cherrytrees as I’m going away for a girly few days with a friend next week ... We’ll done to everybody who has lost and fingers crossed for those who haven’t. Onward and downward!

I am "over the moon" with some excellent responses to dieting recorded here right now.
Mr Willpower obviously worked Cherrytree and so I will include his Mrs as well!!!!

I do NOT wish to hear all these pre excuses NanKate and all.............come on now,you either stick to the plan and get yourself a stick insect like I seem to be (and unwanted let me assure you!!)............or remain overweight and unhappy.

Onward and a nice bit of downward motion girls if you please!!

I have stuck since Monday but at least it hasn’t gone up! I am on holiday next week though ...

Thank you and well done NanKate and Overthehills

Jane enjoy your hols!

We have 2 little DGS for most half term next week.
So Panache I will glad of any willpower going spare!
I must endeavour to bin any childrens left-overs and try to avoid the detour into my mouth first!
Which seems to happens automatically!

Goodluck with putting a few pounds on Panache

Onwards and downwards fellow slimmers
