FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

[funcurls]

Good luck for tonight babes xxxx

Thanks lovely Elle! Well it's *week (early stages of) so I'm all bloaty and feeling mammoth, so not feeling positive about it, coupled with flexi day Fri for wedding, there is a big cloud of doubt lingering! However on the plus side I've had 6 totally ON-plan days, 5 of them red, so who knows! Harder to get away with slip ups these days! Just to have lost the 2lb I gained last week would be brill- 2.5 even better as that would make me my lowest yet! Don't think I'll be that fortunate somehow! Have had magic sausage today though, and a whopper it was too!! XxX

 

[*EB*]

Whopper Magic Sausage - love your work. hahahah!
Good luck pet - the 5 red days will be a fab base for the week. I am being a total rebel and having a green day again today. Thats 2 in a week. OMG! Red tomorrow and up to weigh in though. Too scared of the carbs! xxxx

 

[funcurls]

I lost 1lb this week!! Yaaayyy (sort of....!) After my 2lb GAIN last week I'm not totally over the moon with this week's result, but there are a few things against me today!! 1) It's *week so feeling 'the bloat'!! 2) I've just finished nights this morning and it usually disturbs things!! and 3) Had a flexisyn day on Friday- ate in the region of 50 syns at a wedding so I'm sure this held me back a bit!!

So I will take the loss and move on in the knowledge that I'm only 7lb away from target and there are lots of opportunities ahead for losses!! ONE DAY I WILL GET THERE!!!!!!

Sounds like your bod needed the carbs though chick if that's what you were craving?! Good idea about the red up to WI! I'm going to try and stick with red for 4 days now then extra easy on Sat for the hen night in Cardiff! Oooh it's 'ard sometimes innit!!X

Wow! 7lbs to go?! How exciting And well done with the 1lb loss. I know it's not what you hoped for, but anything gone is good.

It's a nightmare at my work with people bringing in treats-esp of a weekend! One of the vets wives likes to bake us things. Its so hard to resist sometimes! But I'm generally, most of the time, good

Good luck for the next week.

Hi Pesty me love!! Whoohoo, 6lb left back to target eh?!! Well at least you've actually BEEN there which is more than can be said for me!! The race is on, but do not fear, there's not much contest this week!! I had honeycomb icecream sundae in the Toby Carvery on Monday after WI, tonight I had quite a few of dh's chips from the chippie after work, and Saturday night I have a hen night in Cardiff!! So it WON'T be good news on Monday, but I do intend to do everything I can to limit the damage otherwise!! Nowt wrong with a bit of healthy competition though if it helps both of us!!XXXX

Hi Zoe m'luv!! Thanks for the vote of confidence!! It's slow at the moment! Hovering around the '7lb to go' mark for ages now, and just want to get there but it seems that every week there are 1 or 2 events, or just naughty meals that crop up and stop me from making more progress!!! One day it will happen!! You're doing great yourself with just 11lb to go! How are you? What are you up to in Swansea? We'll have to meet up sometime!!X

Hey sweetiepie, well you must be over the moon tonight after your great news!! You worked really hard for that loss so you should be very pleased with yourself!!

I'm loving red days!! Not going hungry at all! I think I could do them most of the time to be honest! And yes I think it does make me think more about what I'm doing! Makes me feel I'm on 'a diet' but in a good way (if that makes sense!!!) It's what I need at the moment, a bit more control and a few more rules!! Which does go against most things I like about SW and EE, the flexibility and freedom, but I need to focus to get these last 7lb off!! I did slip up yesterday though becasue I started out having a red day but it turned into EE because of the chips I had in the evening and I realised that I hadn't had my HEXs anyway so I was able to change last minute! I'm doing red tomorrow then EE over the weekend because of the hen night in Cardiff! Depending on what's on offer in the hotel on Sunday morning for breakfast I may stick to red Sunday too!! But may need the carbs after drinking!! Who knows?!?!X
