Daisy and Athel thanks, and I have just the same problem with jeans fitting either my waist or my arse, but not both. If they fit over my bum and thighs then they gape at the waist and for them to fit my waist they won't get over my arse. M&S trousers fit me quite well, and in a final acceptance of encroaching middle age, I tried a pair of their 'marilyn' jeans on last year, made for hour glass shapes. They fitted ever so much better, but it did feel like a watershed moment wearing M&S jeans. I've turned into my mum. 
Athel you could try sheep's cheese too? xDP is sensitive to cow's milk products (exacerbates his asthma) but ok with goats' and sheep's products.
Sybil thank you. I'm fairly near to my goal weight of 10st 5ins (my 'ideal' weight according to the wii) now. In my 20s I was around 9 and a half stone which I was very happy with, but I think I might look a bit saggy or drawn at that weight now. I guess I'll keep going until I feel completely happy with where I'm at. I need to tone up - that's really important too. I'm so lazy though. 
Lovecat thank you. The dress is a White Stuff one from the charity shop and I love it! It's really flattering.

at your recipes cooked with a big dollop of resentment!
Cooking for that many people is a lot, and I guess it means that you can't do batch cooking and have enough left over for a second night (which we do a lot). Are you cooking the same thing for everyone? Don't get disheartened about your slip last week - this is a long game and you can always haul yourself back onto the wagon and start again. Glad you like the recipe chart, I'm rather pleased with them!
Hurrah Notso!
I'm glad the chicken won him over!
Sarah I love the idea of The Low Carb Smitten Kitchen! Very wise words about 8-10gate. I keep telling DD that comparing ourselves with others only brings trouble. It's very hard not to do though.
Love hope you're feeling less grouchy today. I quite often get the rage for no discernible reason, especially when I'm premenstrual but not always. It does pass mostly.
Athel ouch ouch ouch.
Glad it's not too bad today.
Precious good to see you back and wise words there.
Steel what cut is it and how are you cooking it?
LittleMiss please don't go. I for one really admire your willingness to examine your own reactions and motivations and 'own' what you feel. I think you make some valuable contributions to the thread and you've certainly given me food for thought even if I did studiously ignore your comments about the signs of problem drinking. 
Queenof yes you will be retaining water at TOTM. I never lose that week, or when I'm bloated and premenstrual either.
I must admit I'm a bit baffled by the graphs too. I think the intuitive thing is to want them to go down, not up.
Well I am dead chuffed today. I weighed on Thursday and then was hoping to have sts from then over the weekend as, although my food intake was fine bar a square of 85% choc each day (sucked like a toffee to make it last as long as possible), as usual it was my wine intake which let me down. 
But... Another 2lbs off, so 4lbs in total this week. The whoosh fairy has visited!
I had 2 weeks of sts then a gain of a lb last week so this is a very welcome surprise. 10st 11lbs - I haven't been this weight since (briefly in) 2011.
Thank you BIWI and all you lovely Bootcampers!
