Mmm dinner sounded yummy MLM. Been looking at the recipes in the new SW mag for some inspiration, for tomorrows shop at Tesco, so I don't overbuy on crap food, I soooo love chineese food. x

It was alright EF. Not spectacular. But these are the sacrifices we make!
Pesty, meant to say, when I said "big school" i didnt mean "BIG school" - little one is going into the infants. Its big school to her though!

Haha Pesty, but there's always bed after the bbq
Well i've been without scales for over a week as they had gone bust! However i hadn't weighed myself since 17th August as i had been a bit off track due to packing and moving and i knew the damage was about 1.5 lbs over the period, mainly due to totm. I'd not been terrible, just not perfect and a lot of not being able to eat well due to things being in boxes. Been "back on track" properly since Wednesday
But stood on new scales (same make) and am less than i weighed on 17th Aug (and i've drank and eaten before the weigh today). So very pleased
It's good to know i can sts without being careful, and not feeling the urge to "binge" because i'm not on a diet

Hi Zombiecakes and all you lovely peeps. Am on the wagon now after a few days bingeing. It wasn't really bad stuff (no choccie or crisps) but bowls of weetabix, babybels etc etc. Felt very down about my lack of self control yesterday, but got back on plan last night and made a yummy pan of lentil soup (I love homemade lentil soup) and a pan of bolognese sauce. Have drawn a line under my misdemeanours and am ready to be super good. Wish me luck!
Hope you guys had a fab weekend and that SW is going well for you. ZXXX

Wow!! Very quiet on here over the weekend!! Hope you all had a good time!!
The bbq was brilliant although i did eat a burger 2 sausages and 2 white buns also OH said that we'd leave at 9 and i ended up drivin him back at 12:30!! I wasnt best pleased as ive been so tired but it was quite funny being sober with him singing songs at the top of his lungs next to me to keep me alert!! lol It was really nice going to bed with him at the end of the night as well, not having to drop him off and then sleep alone!!
Im not overly hopeful for WI, scales were showing a loss on friday but i have been a bit naughty since so im just going to have to see what happens!!
Anyone know a good pasta bake recipe? Ive found one with FFFF in the comfort foods book but im not overly confident adding FF to things rather than cream it doesnt taste right!! Maybe a tomato based one?

Good morning!
I havent been particularly quiet over the weekend, I was just having a wobblie in a separate thread
I am not expecting great things at WI tonight at all, but given the confidence boost I just got at the school dropping the bigger of the two little ones off, when two different mums at different times commented on how much weight I had lost, and the fact that I am fitting into things that say size 14 on them, then I have NOTHING to complain about. I seriously needed a large dose of perspective over the weekend and I just got some now, so thats all good!
Pesty, so cute that you have your own place now and dont have to sleep separately.
Bring on tonights WI, I say. I dont care even if I show a gain again, there is no reason I should, but then there was no reason I should last week, sometimes these things just happen for no reason!
Have a splendiferous day!

Hey MLM,
lovely to hear you sounding so positive!! What a lovely thing to happen on the school run!!
You have put it into perspective for me too, ive been huffing and puffing about tonights WI but in reality i have lost a dress size and many inches, and at OHs work bbq one of the girlfriends came up to me and appologised as she thought OH had a new girlfriend!!! She didnt even recognise me!! lol If it wasnt for the fact that other ppl were calling me Jess she said she would have asked me how long me and OH had been together
I agree bring on WI and onwards for next week!!! xxx

Today is a mindblowing rollercoaster of an OMG day.
Just dropped off little one, had to leave her sobbing at school, and had huge guilt about that.
But then I got back and found a voicemail on my mobile, from my C asking me if I would consider being our groups representative at the Woman of the Year competition because I have done so well, and if I want to do it then can I bring before and after photos with me tonight!
Its being held this weekend!
HOLY HELL!
HALP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Hey MLM!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
That's an amazing honour!! Im not sure if it will be the finals or not but i would definitly go for it!! Your a role model to us and i think you would be to everyone else, grab some before and after photos and just talk honestly about how well youve done!!
Dont worry about little one at school, its a horrible guilty feeling leaving them but its an important milestone to give them some independance

Afternoon everyone
Hello Kate, nice to meet you and good luck at your first group meeting tomorrow, its all good from here.
Wowww MLM, well done on being given that opportunity, thats fab, go for it hun.
Pesty
Weekly WI's, if we STS or gain a lb, its not a disaster and we can always work twice as hard the following week. The thing is to keep at it and recognise yourself for the achievements so far.
I'm not expecting miracles this eve at WI, haven't been too good at the weekend and a STS to me will be fine, plus still not feeling 100% after this chest infection. So have not been to the gym yet since before the hols. Once I get back that energy again, I know I'll be fighting fit and will be on this SW wagon 100% too.
Good luck at WI tonight. xx

Bumpety bump bump for this news...
If you havent read my other thread yet, then this will be news, otherwise I am repeating myself.
Went to group, got told to move forward in the competition I would have to hit 3 stone tonight. I lolled. Given last weeks gain, that would mean me losing 2 this week. My home scales were showing absolutely NO indication of anything anywhere near that. The area manager was there to see if I got it, and if I did I would have to fill in the national competition forms. No pressure then.
So I went and squeezed out the last possible drop of wee I could, (TMI!) said quite categorically that it wasnt happening, that I thought I was plateauing, and if I didnt lose, we could blame my bra because I had one with underwire on tonight.
Gets on the scales. Scales show a 3lb loss. Get a bit tearful. Dont actually cry real tears but almost. I was quite shaky. So I got my 3 stone award, plus a bonus lb, and I got to have my before and after photos handed round the group for them to see. I also have to email any more I can find of a before and after type to the area manager before sundays district final.
Am still in shock. Mind totally blown. I went from guilt because my little one was so upset about school, to elation, to panic, to resolution to the fact that it was nice to be asked but it wasnt going to go any further, to elation again, to mild embarrassment at having my fat snap peered over, to more elation, and then to wet, because it rained on me on the way home.
What an outrageously insane day. The area manager also invited me to go to an opportunity event about becoming a consultant on friday, but I am not going because I simply cant afford a franchise at the moment, plus its in Wales, and I am skint.
Too much for one day. Time to sleep a bit and wake up and think it was all a dream.
