Hello Gail, how are things

 

[Maximus]

I'm sworn to secrecy

Haway Gail, your public awaits

Oops. Sorry been busy not hiding. Lost 2 lb this week (ie the gain from last week) which is good. Considering that I went to a very lovely cake shop on Friday (planned), that's fine. So now there is nothing going on this week that should trip me up so fingers crossed.

Sorry I haven't had time to be here but will keep trying.

Well done Gail, really pleased for you x

Thanks.

Sorry I haven't been around much. Been v busy.

Long chat on the phone to Dawn tonight which was lovely but to summarise:

1. Things have been going much better the last 2.5 weeks than for ages prior to that. Obviously the losses don't reflect that (STS overall over the 2 weeks) but I had a couple of planned occasions which I expected would do that to my weight. I have been on plan for the vast majority of the rest of the time with only 1 'binge' and 1 other day quite a bit over syns (which is a major improvement on the past few months which was generally at least 1 or 2 binges or more a week). That is so important for me because I know that if I'm in control then I will lose.

2. I have been drinking much more. Unfortunately I lost the water bottle that was really helping me but I have ordered another one tonight. Having a bigger bottle rather than the smaller disposable ones is much better.

3. I feel much more on an even keel but it's early days.

So, I'm keeping it up. Really hoping for a good loss this week (which will obviously depend on my behaviour so it's up to me !).

See you around

Gail x

P.S. I haven't removed my 5 stone shiny because I want it back. I would really like to get it this week but that may not happen. But it will be soon

Yay - fantastic result chica. You must have been super good for most of the week with the planned t-shop visit.

Go Gail Go!

 

[Clareel]

Well done on losing that 2lb Gail! It's great to hear you are feeling back in control, weight loss will follow

I hope the rest of the week goes well for you,

Becky X

Hi sis,

How are you stranger?

Did you wi today? xx

 

[pjallen1982]

Just thought i would pop in and say hi. Hope you are still motivated and on plan. x

 

[dabhand]

Hello from me too...

 

[gl12282]

Thanks very much for checking up on me. I have had a totally rubbish weekend - very stressed about 'stuff'. As a result, haven't eaten all that much (which is very unlike me). So todays WI was good (every cloud and all that.....!). I thought I'd lost 4 lb but when I put it into the SW website, it's actually 6lb !!!! (I think I was remembering what I felt I should have been last week rather than what I actually was - oops !). I don't think that's entirely reflective of the week (which I had hoped would be 100% but wasn't - not bad, but not as good as I'd hoped) ie didn't expect a loss like that but I'll take it.

Anyway, I feel a bit happier as (1) the weekend is out of the way (which sounds strange but is true !) and (2) I'm a bit closer to where I feel I should be.

So, hopefully the next couple of weeks will be ok ('life' and SW). I will do my best. Sorry, I haven't been able to post on anyone's diaries (and am struggling to read any of them) but I haven't forgotten you all.

Hey Gail x

Thanks for phoning tonight...made my day!

I won't reprimand u again for not eating properly but I will say well done on your loss. It can't all be down to not eating over the weekend so you take full credit for it sis

Hope your phones ok now...I think it must've been Steves fault!

Have a good week hunni and I'll ring u next weekend...and DON'T worry about posting on here...we all know how busy you are, and we understand x

Lots of love xxx

 

[Bess]

Oh dear Gail so sorry you've had a stressful weekend and hope things are better for you this week. xxx

 

[Pommette]

Hiya chica, well done on the great loss. But naughty girl on not eating. :cry:

Are you looking forward to the 4th? I am but I'm also terrified about meeting all these people I've never met! What if you're all green?

Well, I am. Aren't you?
