I’m a pear !

Yes, I'll go and have a look at the one I bought the other day - it doesn't come out as fine as some though.

It's called Sizzola, this one is rapeseed oil but I think there were sunflower and olive oils as well.
I think I bought it in Morrison's.

Thinking caps on ladies please.

Can anyone recommend a calorie controlled cooking spray that doesn't come out as white paste ?

Well done JaneD3. We look forward to you being svelte for the wedding.

I am sure this thread and all the support for each others' ups and downs have helped many of us keep going.

I have been to relatives for a 4 days of eating what I like but am back on track today - a nice mackerel salad and 3 small new potatoes for supper.

Thanks for your kind understanding dear GN`s and I will settle for that hug JANE

Great going folks, and whether you win or loose those few pounds, the main thing is you are still very much alive and have the world yet to conquer!!!

Keep up the good work,perseverance and patience are needed...............then its Upwards and DOWNWARDS!!

Huzzah! Lost the holiday 10lbs (in 10 days!) plus, so now lost 11lbs overall since joining you. I am back to losing 3 stones since I left work too so a bit smug. I think I said 20lbs before the wedding would be good, so another 9 to go. It is all so up and down! Wish I could send you some Panache but you will have to make do with a hug.

Well done Fourormore
Wishing your DH well

Managed one pound loss
It's slow progress but steady.

A short holiday this week some GN willpower required.
It will be 2 weeks before my next S/W weigh
- in.

Upwards or downwards

Well said Fourormore. I hope your DH is soon on the mend.

Well said Fourormore.

Well done for weight loss even though your DH is ill, I do hope he recovers soon.

This thread is turning out to be far more than just a weight loss thread and I feel it has been enhanced by us talking about all the ups and downs in our lives.

Onward and downward girls.

I feel so for Panache - it must be difficult when so many of us are complaining about putting on weight when she would give anything to do so. Bless you Panache
My Sunday morning weigh-in showed a loss of half a pound which is amazing as I am still in limbo with DH's collapse and pending test results and haven't tried at all this week - again unfair on all those trying hard - sorry!
As long as we all remember what Maw and I have said - yes we all need encouragement to lose or increase our weight but life is too short for it to take over and, unless our weight problem is life-threatening there are more important things to worry about!
Good luck to everyone - whichever way you want to go!

Sorry Panache
Well done Teetime

It must be so difficult for you Panache and I know you try hard to keep the weight on.

AND I have LOST some 7/8 pounds would you believe.............whom ever said life is fair was lying!!!!

I am fading................

Well done Teetime ?

Well done Teetime 3lbs is mega. ?

Back on it 3lbs off this week - doing low carbs I think!!!

DH seems to have lost half a stone - doing nothing different to me.

Good luck Jalima but just remember Maw’s advice - calories aren’t everything, there’s more to life!

Thanks NanKate
I will leave the rest of the for tomorrow

ps the weekend starts on Friday night!

Well it is almost the weekend Jalima so a couple of glasses of wine are the order of the day. I had a lovely chilled Bacardi and half a coke, delicious.

I’m a pear !

It has always puzzled me what shape I could be but I've finally decided that I am a well-rounded butternut squash.

I am trying very hard but, after spending some time at a school event this afternoon, have succumbed to a couple of glasses of this evening.

My food intake was fairly good up until then.

Yes Overthehills I was glued to the match, however I think the one against Thiem on Sunday could be very tricky, especially if the weather is not too good.

I am away for a few days this coming week with family and will no doubt eat more that my allotted 1400 calories, but life is to be lived.

Another 2 lbs Overthehills that is brilliant. Keep going. I wonder how much Rafa loses each game.

Good news Maw?

Weighed in yesterday and had lost 2lbs!! Couldn’t believe it but am very pleased. In holiday now but am still counting.
Watching the Nadal v Del Potro match NanKate and I think it’s in the bag for Rafa, I do like DP but don’t think he’s got the game to beat Rafa.
Well done everybody who has lost and good luck for next weigh in to those who haven’t.
Onward and downward!

I think I had better weigh in now, a weekend in Brussels may take a while to recover from!

Woe not wow
