I have not been 100% since Thursday and am soooooooo annoyed with myself !
You have been doing well tho,you are definatly gonna be the biggest loser this week !!!
What! I'm not having that. You've been doing so well , now sort yourself out mrs t and get back on that tightrope while I finish my trapeze act.
I wondered where you'd gone. It's been lonely here. Don't give up on me now. Weigh in the morning znd see how you've done you may be surprised x

HERE I GO AGAIN !!!!!!!
Yeah pebs definatly back in the circus in the morning,and will weigh in in the morning although today I feel like a total bloated mess !!!
Did go to the beach today which was nice and kids loved it and they had Mac donalds on the way home as I didnt want to cook when I got in .
My 6yr old ( special needs) had his peadiatrician appointment the other day and because he has low muscle tone I've got to keep an eye on his weight as it has gone up too much since the last time she saw him ,so I have sort of started doing sw for him too, but nothing drastic just healthier choices as he loves his food !!!
Hopefully we can both stay on the wagon this week

Hello ladies, I'm back from my hols did anyone miss me?
So many newbees on here.......Hello all :welcome:
Not sure how weigh in will be on Thursday (decided there's no point having a sneaky look beforehand. I wasn't so much bad on holiday, it's just hard when someone else is doing all the cooking and they wont to make traditional dinners for you (plus you know what mums are like for things like 'please just have one more' then puts 3 more on your plate) We stayed with my boyfriends family and every dinner time when i'd say 'that's enough thanks' his mum would look said and say 'you don't like? Isn't it good'
When we ate out i tried to pick as healthy as i could, but Polish food isn't exactly known for being low in calories! On the plus side we did loads of walking! and i mean serious hills and mountain walking, so hoping that will have counterbalanced it - will keep my fingers crossed for Thursday.
How are you all doing?
Hxx

Tracy831 said:Just weighed in again and I'm still the same as Thursday,which is probably ok as I haven't been on plan
So if I have a loss on Thursday it won't be a loss if you know what I mean ?
Happy Monday everyone
Yes it will be a loss cos anything less than Thursdays weight is a loss in my book. You've had * week and then a munchies moment which just lasted a little longer than expected and that's usually due to * week finishing. Well known fact that sugars change during that time PLUS I'm a nurse and so you can trust me. Xx

So here we are another week another weigh in . I'm pleased as I've lost another 2lb this week. Now on 12 St 10. Another 6lb for my 2stone mark.
Sadly the circus left town but I am sure we have a new adventure heading our way.
This weeks rules, try 3 new recipes, keep an eye on that water intake, 8 glasses a day !!!!! Oh yes ! 8!
Exercise - tues fri sun this week with a daily report of what you've done, doesn't matter how much you do or what it is.
Tips this week - drum roll please. Tips on How to survive a week on plan without cheating.
Tip 1 - plan your day so you don't have to grab whatever's around
Tip 2 - measure out your cereal, cheese etc into hex allowances so when you prepare your meals it's already Weighed.
Tip3 - have a snack box and label it mums / debs/ vivs snacks so the rest of the household don't touch it. Label each low syn snack with syn value. Use mini size bars.
Tip 4 - write everything down that passes those lips, then you'll stay on track
