Proper wi proper day! Lost 1.4lbs - that's in 5 days. I'm quite happy with that tbh - ok I'm not going to be where I wanted to be to take Mum away next week but I feel a bit more 'in control' at least. So that's me at 11st 2.6lbs. 9.6lbs to get back to target, 15.6 to get where I want to be. xx

Been out for tea tonight for grandson's birthday. Had chicken & bacon salad, no dressing but a few croutons. Had a bit more chicken when I got back coz there wasn't much on it and I was still hungry and just had a diet coke coz I'm going to work tonight. Breakie was a shake and lunch a bar. I'm taking chicken, smoked salmon trimmings, boiled eggs & a couple of cornichins to work tonight. x

HaHa ... only little gherkins Tan - nothing exciting. Trouble is I can't say it I'm never sure whether it's cornichons or corchinons - it always comes out wrong LOL!

Hi peeps! Sorry I've been awol I've been back over a week but haven't been 'feeling it' iykwim .... I've been shocking and although I haven't had an 'official' wi - my quick jump on the old scales yesterday morning was a sobering experience
Anyhoo what's done is done and all i can now do is my best to get off all I can before September's holiday - I believe its 6 or 7 weeks - I don't want to know exactly because i don't want to work out that it's going to be impossible to get off what I want to in case that puts me off bothering at all!!
The break with Mum was - well a break but the weather was awful except for a few hours on one of the days. I feel so sorry for her coz it's her only holiday even though she insists she's enjoying herself and that 'anything is a change' for her. Thankfully she is a 'count your blessings' kind of person and doesn't let things get her down.
Tan i forgot to ask in your thread how your Nan is doing I'm sorry - I read she is starting to up her walks to 'brisk' .. I hope she's continuing to improve
I've been spending the internet time I haven't been on here on ebay! I can't remember if I've mentioned before that we're selling John's old LPs ... ? Forgive me if i'm repeating myself. I'd have given the lot to the bin men or a charity shop I'll be honest. He's always said some of them are worth something but i never really believed him. Anyway when I was sorting out the lounge for decorationg i bunged them all in the ahll and said I'd had enough & they had to go. You won't believe it but up to now we've sold 14 and have bids on another 2 - the total of which comes to ... wait for it .... £1720.98 ...... Isn't that ridiculous???!!! Ok we won't end up with that much - you can take off about 22% with all the fees etc but even so ..... I think it's crazy.
It's because his taste in music is ... or more imprtantly WAS in the 60s, rather obscure. They're mainly UK Jazz (ruddy awful if you ask me - but hey!) And he's still got quite a few more to list, we're doing them bit by bit. Up to now the lowest one has gone for £37 and the highest £311!!!
We really enjoy the last few minutes of the bidding - it's quite exciting! How sad are we LOL!!
Anyway - back to the point .... I'm back on it (AGAIN!) - on day 2 and hungry but ok. Fingers crossed my mojo kicks in soon xx

Here we go again!
If we only knew why eh Jan??
Great news about the LPs though, fantastic!! We've got some up in the loft but none from the 60s, more 70s and 80s. I don't think they're worth anything cos there's nothing unusual in them.
Good luck with your restart, what are you doing anyway?

Yep I'm shake rattle & rollin' LOL! ... I've got some exante stuff and I've sent for some slim & save stuff coz I quite fancy the idea of having 4 products a day! I'm leaving the door open for low carb meals if I can't hack it but I'm at the end of my 4th day now - so far so good. Missing a l'il dwinkie tho xx

Succumbed and had a coupla l'il dwinkies on tuesday I'm afraid ... I annoy myself I'm so weak willed!! It doesn't seem to have affected the weight tho - fingers crossed!
I got the slim & save stuff. I'm not surprised you can have 4 products a day ... they're TINY!! The shake I had this morning was ok - quite nice in fact and as I make them as mousses the amount of it was the same as the exante ones. However the soup ... half as much as an exante one, nowhere near as filling. Macaroni cheese is a joke ... the taste is ok but sooo watery (ok I can put less in but I followed the instructions) and sooo little of it it wasn't funny! The bar I have with me for in the night is about the size of a milky way and is 109cals ... it better be nice!
Ah well it's my own fudgin' fault. Sneaky jump on the scales when I got up this evening looks like a 6lb loss for the week .... it'll be a week tomorrow. (All these figures are unofficial - I'll have an 'official' wi on Monday for the records - which of course will still show an overall gain because I haven't had an official one since 2nd.) But if it is the 6lbs off tmorrow I'll have 11lbsto shift to get back to target and 17 to get where I want to be. **sigh** xx
