Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

22 lb would be a good loss and any more would be a bonus :) I think I need 26 to get me in the teens

Hi everyone....sorry I got the recipe for my pumpkin and walnut soup, got in from WI had my dinner and proceeded to make the soup which is bubbling away nicely...I can't wait till tomorrow lol.

WI...I knew I would put on this week because of the cake saga and then not being able to work out properly since Friday....but never mind I am positive about it..it's just a blip and next week I will lose 3+ I am sure of it...so I gained 1.5lb this week...with the huge chunk of b'day cake, the cup cake and lack of exercise I reckon I got off really lightly lol...so next week I will lose the 1.5 and another 1.5lb on top...I am 100% positive about that...also didn't plan my menu this week which i find doesn't help, so tonight I am concentrating on that, so will be in and out as I do it ....

WTG Tanya you are a bloody star my girl bravo you are a :winner: xxxx

Jo Good to see you up for it I am going to have a think about what I want to lose and get back to you....but i reckon about 21 or 22lb sounds good...catch you later after I've done my plan xxx
 
Oh and Tilly and Jackie I am still laughing about that cat :8855:...that's the funniest thing ever..really tickled me lol xx
 
Aww Lily- curse those cakes!

You'll do awesome next week i'm sure *hugs* :D :D
 
You'll get rid of that gain easy peasy :D

I'm still laughing about the cat too. I keep telling everyone I see about the cat. Emma laughed her head off and then said it's funny but the way you were laughing I thought it was gonna be funnier. Everytime I think about it I start crying with laughter :8855:

Crumbles post should come with a wee warning :8855:
 
Thanks Ladies...exactly ...If I had put it on and didn't know why I would be really upset, but I was expecting it and wasn't upset or even disappointed, more relieved lol but it has made me more determined especially as I tried on my xmas jeans (US 22...I thought they were 24, thats UK 20 ...I thought 22) and they are just about 1 inch away from doing up...I really jumped for joy, plus I bought 2 pairs of trackies for my birthday in a size XXL and they were a snug fit and are now loose, plus 2 weeks ago someone gave me 2 pair of XL trackies and they only fit ...what's not to be happy about lol.

Night night Mandy, sweet dreams hun xxx
