Hello! had another loss this week, 3.5lbs was very very excited! so 12lbs in total, am hoping to get my stone sticker soon! Plans for the weekend have been shopping and relaxing, in that order me thinks! ooh and tomorrow I'm cooking, decided fancy a 3 course meal, so gonna make chicken pate, roast lamb and veggies and raspberry, coffee and chocolate pots!!! I'm quite excited!

Good news about the hair, hope it keeps growing.

Hows your day been?

 

[Emmou]

Well done Loho, 3.5lb is great! You've really got the hang of this haven't you? I'm on my computer now and can see your ticker is moving along nicely. Also we have both lost over 3% of our body weight, which is quite impressive really.

I hope the meal goes well, it sounds divine. Are you having many people around?

I've had a relatively quite weekend. I went for a 5.5mile walk yesterday which was really nice. Especially as I was quicker than googlemaps told me I would be. I had a hair appointment where they confirmed that my hair was doing well and some of it's growing back well, which was wonderful. Then I went and saw a friend for dinner but left fairly early so as to not get stuck in the snow.

Enjoy you meal!

Just nipped on - during lunch, so only a short message.

Come on you, more positiveness needed! you're doing great, don't beat yourself up. Have a good weekend away and enjoy yourself!

 

[Emmou]

Hey Loho,

I hope it's all going well at your end. Thanks for your message, much more positivity is needed I agree. I'm just naturally very hard on myself.

The weekend was fab thanks. Good food, lots of cocktails & a slightly sore head! I hope you had a good one.
