Wow! Thank you! I need to revive that tearful award acceptance speech from a few days ago where I thank everyone and then run off the stage sobbing uncontrollably. 
Well that's great, and a real boost on a week where I've been mainly feeling fat, bloated and incredibly grumpy! I can't blame my hormones either - I'm in the first bit of my cycle and should be feeling svelte and positive. I haven't lost anything this week, in fact the wii keeps telling me I've gained half a pound; yesterday I gave it a stern talking to, changed its batteries and reweighed myself - it then revised its opinion and told me I'd stayed the same. This morning it told me half a pound on again; I swore roundly at it and turned it off before it could save its data. 
I feel really puffy, which is presumably water retention. Maybe what Willie was saying re humidity is the case for me too. I've been drinking masses of water though. I might try taking some diuretic herbs too.
Tonight's meal is going to be slow cooked kashmiri butter chicken. Normally we get some sides and naans from the local Indian takeaway to go with it (delicious peshwari naan, where you take a very carby bread and then stuff it with even more carbs!) but obviously that won't be happening. DP is out tonight so I'll eat early and won't drink this evening. Tomorrow night (always make enough for two nights) I've told him that he can have basmati rice with it but if he gets anything from the takeaway, I may have to kill him.
DP has been eating my low carb dinners most evenings, but still eating carbs the rest of the time; sandwiches for lunch at work, toast on a Saturday morning (the smell of which drifts upstairs to me
). This should be a recipe for disaster, but the jammy fucker has lost about half a stone and looks noticeably slimmer!
Mind you he does go to the gym three times a week.
Anyhowdyhoo, hope you all have a good day and that the fat just melts away in the heat for us all!
