Thanks guys I'm sorry others are struggling too but it's kind of nice to know it's not just me.
I, going to group to get weighed tomorrow but I'm not going to stay, I didn't go at all last week so I'm expecting a reasonable gain after two weeks pretty much off plan.

ALemonyPea · 06/12/2016 16:34

2 bloody lbs on, seriously not impressed with myself. No more SP days,they make not one difference.

OwlinaTree · 06/12/2016 17:14

Did you expect a gain lemony?

LavenderRains · 06/12/2016 18:17

Oh lemony that sucks. You've done so well tho, you have to live your life and have occasional blips. I'm not sure how Xmas will be, I think I shall eat what I like Xmas eve and xmas day as I'm working boxing day, then suffer the consequences.
surely 2 days won't cause that much damage?Confused
I need to lose a lb tomorrow at Wi to hit my 2 stone mark. Fingers crossed.
Today's plan:
B cup of tea
D 2 eggs on wm toast (heb) satsumas.
T gammon, sw chips, baked beans, mushrooms.
syns will probably be hifi bar & bag of popcorn

ALemonyPea · 06/12/2016 18:42

I ŵasnt expecting a 2lb gain, possibly a maintain. Had a shit day Wednesday, but on track the rest of the week. Even went without alcohol on a family night out.

T'is what it is, will crack on and aim to lose next week.

PositiveAttitude · 06/12/2016 21:00

Totally pissed off here too. 0.5lb gain after resisting everything all blood week. I did not go over my syns one day and I stuck to plan. Apparently stress can make your body "hold on" to fats, so i am hoping that is what has happened.
If I had given in to the chocolate craving, had a mince pie, etc it wouldnt be so bad!! I feel as if I might as well have given on and eaten it all.

OwlinaTree · 06/12/2016 21:16

Sorry it's been a bad weigh in lemony and pa. So disappointing when you've stuck to it and don't see results. Sad Hopefully you'll get a good loss next week instead.

Groovester · 06/12/2016 22:20

Sorry to hear about those struggling. I have been half starving myself since my pub lunch on Saturday and don't think it's a healthy way to be. Hello, FOOD ISSUES!!! I have to WI tomorrow instead of Thursday because of work so we shall see what happens but 6 days instead of 7 plus pub lunch is not going to equal a great loss. Hmmmm

Thoughts re: Christmas. I'm planning on relaxing the strictness for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Also, speak to me about popcorn. What brand is good? Allowed?

Thanks!

LavenderRains · 06/12/2016 22:40

Hi groovester I buy Tesco 6 packs of variety popcorn, £1 salted, sweet or sweet and salted! 2.5 - 3 syns per pack depending on the flavour.
It's not the toffee variety but I like it for a change. Got fibre in it too.
Good luck with your weigh in. I need to lose a lb tomorrow!

Groovester · 06/12/2016 22:55

Thanks Lavender - will check it out.
I'm hoping/praying for 2lbs to get me to 1 1/2 stones off but I'm highly doubtful that it will happen tomorrow.
Good luck for your WI!

tabulahrasa · 06/12/2016 23:49

Popcorn - sunbites whole grain, 2.5 for salted or sweet and salty, 3 for caramel.

LavenderRains · 07/12/2016 10:49

Well I'm amazed. I lost 5.5lb today after a disappointing half last week. I also won slimmer of the month which was also a surprise
So a loss of 2 stone 4 so far, a few more stone to go yet tho Blush
good luck to others with Wi today.

ALemonyPea · 07/12/2016 12:58

Well done Lavender! And well done on your 2 stone and slimmer of the week award.

DS3 is off school today, so housebound. Made soup, stews and bolognese for the freezer 😇

Thanks everyone. It did give me a boost if I'm honest, especially after last week. And also someone at work noticed my weight loss this afternoonSmile
how did you do groovester?

LavenderRains · 07/12/2016 21:21

butt 2.5 isn't that bad for 2 weeks off plan is it? I will probably put on that much on Xmas dayGrin
That chilli looks lovely, very colorful salad!

Buttwing · 07/12/2016 21:47

No lavender it's not I should grateful really considering the amount of crap that I've eaten!Blush

I'm determined to up my speed this week hence the colourful salad!

Groovester · 07/12/2016 21:47

4.5lbs off for me! Can't believe it. Slimmer of the week too. I needed 2 to get to my 1.5 stone award so I'm delighted. When I joined 6 weeks ago, I agreed my interim target would be 1.5 stones off for Christmas. Grin

FaithFromTheRealmsOfGlory · 07/12/2016 21:57

You're doing brilliantly Groovester! You must be chuffed to bits!

I lost 1lb and got slimmer of the week too. I realised I have no idea what the criteria is for SOTW?! 16lb off in total in 8 weeks, I'm delighted to be chipping away at the weight.

Groovester · 07/12/2016 22:02

Well done to you too Faith
I am in a really good place mentally. I have loads to lose which is why it's coming off fairly quickly I think. Just eaten a curly wurly in celebration.
How are you finding things?

LavenderRains · 07/12/2016 22:21

Well done groovester another slimmer of the week!
Well done too faith

FaithFromTheRealmsOfGlory · 08/12/2016 07:09

Thanks Lavender, same to you! Brilliant week! I've just worked out I'm no longer obese Smile

WhoKnowsWhereTheT1meG0es · 08/12/2016 07:23

1.1kg off this week, I'm just 110g off my first stone (Christmas target) now.

Well done to everyone this week, whether you lost or not, it's hard at this time of year.

ALemonyPea · 08/12/2016 09:37

Some great losses going on, really impressed!

Just had a filthy breakfast, was bloody lovely. Fried mushrooms with marmite and grated cheese, had it with scrambled eggs. Felt so naughty, but was free. Will be having it more often.
