Had a group interview for Asda on Wednesday, got a call back last night inviting me for a 1-to-1 interview this afternoon - which I think went quite well! Turns out it's for a Christmas temp position (with the chance to be kept on) in the George clothing department . I was worried they'd stick me on trolley duty in the car park haha. I find out by Friday if I've def got the job but I'm feeling optimistic!

SW-wise, I've been 100% but still feeling bloaty due to TOTM & reeeaaally need to up my fluid intake badly!!

Hope everyone else is getting on well this week!

This sounds promising!! Good luck on the result but sounds like you made a great impression!! Hope it works out for you and then also offers some job security after the Christmas period!

Well done on being 100% on the food front! It's a tough time of year with pending celebrations and everyone wanting to comfort eat!! X

Hey hun, hope you're OK!! It's so frustrating isn't it, and quite often happens after a recent big loss!! But it will all balance itself out in the end- keep on sticking to plan as best as possible and it will keep going in a downward direction!! I'm having a bad week foodwise but trying to pull it back!!!XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

[aesir22]

Good luck with the job Lady!! If you get it.....discounted food shopping woohoo!!

[Stitchy]

I lost the 1lb I put on last week... I really need to have a 100% week now...

 

[catmonkey]

Well done stitchy. I'm with you for an 100% week. Got my soup on the go ready for my dinners next week. Had a dreadful week last. Hoping for a good loss on Friday .

 

[Geordiegirl1892]

11 pound till i reach my target : > )

 

[Pommette]

Well done Stitchy & Geordiegirl.

With you all in trying for a 100% week next week. I seem to have lost my mojo a bit a the mo.

Being so close to target is getting very frustrating - just over a pound off.

"What's a pound" you might say but it was just there in my brain that I wanted to get below 12 stone and I just don't seem to be able to do it. I've been bobbling round 12 st since the beginning of September. In the last 4 weeks my net loss has been a paltry ¼ lb. Grrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Geordiegirl1892]

Many thanks, its a struggle but i will get there

 

[Leapfrog]

Well done to everyone this week. I've lost 1lb, and that was enough to get me my 5 stone award. Very very happy with that. I now feel that with 70lbs lost another 30 is certainly achievable!

Wow littlemeercat! That's amazing and the last 30lbs are now very doable indeed

 

[Geordiegirl1892]

@leapfrog

wow very well done on getting your 5 stone award :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Good luck for next week folks.

Welcome back chica. Of course you can reset target. Consider it done!

 

[Leapfrog]

Some great losses there. Well done all you losers and good luck everyone for this week.

I spent Saturday clearing out the attic in my "new" house of all the previous owner's junk. That must count as body magic, given that I don't think he had thrown anything out since he moved in over 30 years ago! Sunday was spent chopping and stacking wood. That definitely counts as sport of some kind judging by my muscles this morning

I've just done a few calculations and realised I've got just 400g (approx 1lb) to lose to get my 3 and a half stone award. Fingers crossed this week.

 

[Pommette]

I hate Winter. I eat too much - too many carbs in particular.
3rd gain in a row this week. 1¼ lbs on. What am I doing??? Now 3 lbs off target!

Right, need to kick a$$ this week.

Good luck everyone else.
