well ive been a bit all over the place the last two days, but i am now checking in from my uni house have been out for a meal with my parents before they headed back and had a creamy chicken and mushroom risotto not sure on syns but it wasnt particularly special so i feel like i wasted them a bit and should have just had a pizza! anyway, never mind! im starting properly again in the morning xx

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Woohoo!! Happy new term
I imagine it will be easier to keep your food syn-free at uni, but maybe not the drinks?! Good luck anyhow, and I bet you got lots of compliments on how fab you're looking from people you've not seen all summer

i was supposed to weigh myself this morning but i got woken up really early by my housemate arriving and i was so tired that i automatically went and scoffed my weetabix and i didnt want to weigh myself after eating that, as i have to weigh myself at boots now because i forgot to bring my scales back with me!! will go tomorrow!! xx

 

[emma-louise]

still havent weighed in!!! fire alarm went off at boots just as i was getting there this morning and the whole store had to be evacuated grrrr!! xx

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Some things are sent to try us!!
Good luck getting to Boots tomorrow

 

[sarah83]

Me thinks something is telling you that you're not supposed to weigh this week...
Why don't you buy yourself some new scales to start using first thing again? I picked mine up a couple of months ago pretty cheap from Argos.
I was weighing before at Boots on a Saturday, but found that depending on what kind of morning I was having, the time of day could change drastically (like anytime between 9am and 1pm!!) and I might have eaten breakfast, I might not, I might have had a drink... too many variables for my liking, so I much prefer having my own scales and having the control to weigh first thing in the morning before I've had chance to eat or drink anything!!

 

[Loopeylou]

Hey hun how's things been....havent been on for a while but I'm back wohoo lol
Weigh in this week just wasn't meant to be hey lol...good luck for tomorrow

Well done Emma-Louise, I am 4lbs away from 14stone, really want a 3lb loss to get under 200 this week and then 2lb next week to get into the 13's!!! How exciting

Glad you arrived safely at your new home and good luck for next term, make the most of your time at uni, it's not so long before you will be in the dog eat dog real world, so here's to a cheeky vimto or 10, lots of love, donna xxxxx

yeah i didnt get there in the end, i was thinking of buying a pair but im worried ill fork out a bit of money for them and they wont be accurate im gonna wait til im home for a weekend i think and bring my home ones back down with me

well i usually weigh first thing, no brekkie and in the nuddy, so there will already be a difference on the boots scales as i will be fully clothed - otherwise i might get arrested haha xx
