Hello!
Sorry for going AWOL. Put on a couple of pounds and lost the motivation as I wasn't getting any nearer goal. The I saw a friend who I hadn't seen for 6 weeks and in that amount of time, she'd lost 10lbs with WW and looked fab. So that gave me a bit of a kick up the backside and I weighed myself this morning for the first time in 4 weeks and I've lost 6lbs! Yippee!!!! Especially as it means I'm below 12st - although only just as I'm 11st 13. This means I've lost 1.5 stone since we originally started this thread. Not weighing for a few weeks really worked for me as it meant that I knew I had plenty of time to lose at least a couple of pounds and see a difference. I even squeezed into pre-preg jeans yesterday as am now only 5lbs heavier than my fattest pre-preg weight. I did have a huge muffin top though.
I've skimmed through the last few pages for the latest news.
Meet ups - Tues and Fri work best for me to go up to London
Piste - glad your family are OK. I did pop in the other day to check on them as they the only people I "know" in Japan. My friends who live in Tokyo are in the US at the moment so have missed it. I think its going to be really odd for them to go back.
Trimmer - how is the job going? Any luck with selling the house?
Bebe - what was the recipe for the "healthy" flap jack. I love the stuff but am always horrified at the amount of sugar, syrup and fat that goes into it.
Piste (again) - maybe you should sign up for a 10k run? I seem to recall from when I did them that
the training programmes went up to you being able to do around 7k twice a week in the run up to the race on the basis that the atmosphere on the day would get you the rest of the way.
Off to bed. The alarm goes off at 6am now on work days. I'm loving being back at work though.
