i lost one and a half, not as good as i was hoping, thats what i get for weighing myself on my rubbish at home scales and getting my hopes up!!
still its a loss and ive got my half stone award so thats good!

 

[Mrs Hobbes]

Thanks for your support everyone. I'm feeling ok now it was the first time I hadn't lost so it just came a bit hard I guess. Tomorrow is going to be torture, DD has her May Pole dancing in the afternoon at school this is always followed by tea and homemade cakes. I think I'll just have to sit on my hands! At least DH will be there to help keep me on the straight and narrow.

I will post the recipes for everyone in a minute.

This week i have stayed the same, which im not too disappointed about as my sis and her fiance came down to stay so we ended up going out for dinner having a few drinks etc.

Well done on STS Kirstie

You have to have a treat on weigh in night

Time for me to join in again, I have fallen off the wagon a little bit - people have said that I don't look like I have gained but I feel like I have, so I am not happy! I shall be looking for a loss of 7lbs at least before my holiday at the end of July. So wish me luck, I weigh in at WW on Monday nights so I will let you know how I get on!

Good Luck Gems

I just got in from my weigh in and after sticking to it 100% this week...even to the extent where I didn't go to the cinema at the weekend as I knew I wouldn't be able to resist the popcorn (I know i'm sad)....but it was worth it as I lost 5.5 lbs!!! ( I have never lost so much in one week!)

I am so pleased...now all I've got to do is not put it all back on when i'm in Marbella! Pinot Grigio here I come!!!

This week I've also had a good sort through and clear out of my wardrobe(s)...and I have sorted out 7 carrier bags of my clothes that are too big for me!! They have all gone to the charity shop as I am determined that I will never wear them again!


Good luck everyone for next week and I will catch up with you all the week after when I get back from my holiday.

 

[natalielongstaff]

thats great i hope you have a fab time in Marbella x x

That's fantastic!!! As my mother would put it, that's almost three bags of sugar!!! Well done!

Well done. 1.5 pounds is brilliant (almost a bag of sugar ) - I'd love to lose 1.5 a week - that's almost half a stone a month!!! Great going. I bought a new weighing scales the other day - a 'good' one too, not cheap, but it's very inconsistent.

Great work everyone. You're all an inspiration!

Thanks...I can't wait to start replacing them but I still have a long way to go yet but I think I will start saving a bit of money each month so when I get there I can go mad!!

Don't worry I will certainly be having a bottle or two next week.
