Monday 22nd October weigh in.

To everyone who worked hard to lose....I'm very sorry I will try not to let it happen again.

You can drag us out of the minus next week notso without even trying
now you have got your mojo back, where did you find him (mojo is my FIL nickname, I didnt realise he was missing )

I have lost half a pound not great but it is something.

It is great Grannyeggs!

Didn't wake up till 12 today [it's my day off and the first day off for ages when I've not had to get up for something, so woke up when I woke up]. Because I wasn't tired I didn't get the craving to eat lots of food, so had a bowl of tomato soup with a slice of bread [no more bread after today] and some rice cakes with tuna and coleslaw tonight. Hoping that I've kicked all the bad habits for a while. Going to have an early night and drink lots of water tomorrow [something I haven't been doing lately].

grannyeggs that 1/2lb is very important, it makes all the difference, well done

crimson we sometimes need to crash like that to recharge the batteries, drinking lots of water is one of the secrets to loose weight.

This weeks total .5lbs

Challenge total 26.9lbs

Thanks Sbagran, starting to get to grips with My Fitness Pal. Think it could get rather compulsive!

You're welcome Pud - so glad that you are doing ok.
MFP is addictive but bear in mind that you cannot always be absolutely accurate. I have had two training days this week with a buffet lunch provided. I was very restrained but the sandwiches were multi-filled with all sorts and the little mini-cakes sooooo delicious so I have had to guess!
I am hoping that more restraint over the rest of the week will cover any inaccuracy but more to the point - the scales will be understanding and accept that I have really tried!!!

Glass and everyone else, I will try but have just discovered the most delicious coconut cakes! I must try to swim more and go to the gym more as I do feel so tempted by all the lovely food here. I shall feel so bad if I am the one who lets the side down next week. Is there an 'I'm sorry in advance' emoticon???? I remember my middle son at 18 months going to do something he knew he shouldn't and saying 'sorry Mummy' on his was to do it. I feel just like that now!

I'm just off to find My Fitness Pal - sounds just what I need, especially as DH has now decided to stop watching his food intake, as he is at the weight with which he is happy - and I must say, he looks great but any more loss and he would begin to look - well, shall I just say that I do like big men!

What is it about a Friday night that makes you drink wine?! Worked out that a bottle of Pino is 600 calories - will someone please till me that there should be a decimal point in there somewhere hic(wine)

pud no decimal point but in the morning you might see spots after the bottle

As long as it'snot pink elephants glasswort so I think I might cope. Saturday may well be a morning in bed !! (Wink)

Ooops, up 1 lb and a bit - it's getting cold and I am comfort eating to keep warm.

Dont worry about it granjura you have just got back I think it takes a while to adjust again after being away.

This weeks total - 1 lb

Challenge total 25.4lbs

Thanks glassorto - my aim for the winter is to not go up too much, then have another big effort next Spring to lose another 6kg- and if possible more. I am now just 'fat' officially, instead of morbidly obese as I was 4 years ago, or obese as I've been for past 3 years. I doubt if I'll ever go down to the 'normal' range, but as long as I can get to a comfortable 16, that will be fine.

pud I wish I was only 10 half stone, would like to join in feel pleased not put on any weight on our hol to India, well just 2lb that have lost and another 2 to join them!!

can I join in ? we away next weekend but hope to try shift some weight would ideally like to lose at least a stone!!!
