I am here! went to a birthday party this afternoon..... bit of a nightmare when theres a buffet and hostess says help yourself! I was good though and only had a couple of sausages on sticks... and a coffee

Can i join too? i lost loads of weight last year by becoming a healthy eater. That meant no ready made food, bread (apart from wholemeal pitta) and NO refined sugar at all. It worked a treat till i got pg.... I have already started again but would love some moral support.

Of course you can join, just come and add your 2penceworth whenever you fancy. I've been doing daily to keep myself on track, i do better if i'm keeping a tab on it.

havent been very active today because dd2 has been very whingy due to MMR but did manage to walk round town for a little while.

As for eating i did have a ready made lasagne at dd1's request with garlic bread but i have managed no choc, biscuts, cake etc so i'm still proud and i chose oasis light instead of normal oasis while i was out. I don't mind getting to my goal slowly but surely

I'm sorry I don't come on that much when I am not at work (Tues-Thurs). I weighed 10st 4 yesterday, so have lost 6lb in total.

"Still" is good I think.

Roskva · 02/05/2007 21:14

9st 12 this morning, so I've managed to ditch the four lbs I gained following my Easter binge. Dh is going to be away for the next week, so I have absolutely no excuse to have choc, biscuits etc in the cupboard when he is not around.

I am aiming for no more than 1lb/week really, and that is how it is working out. So I am eating fairly sensibly (did have a cream cake yesterday) and exercising. But Rosvka that is great, well done.

SpookyMadMummy · 04/05/2007 11:08

I have maintained this week after a loss of 4lb last week, good I haven't gained i guess, but i would have liked to have lost...
hey ho there's always next week!

Roskva · 04/05/2007 19:59

Slap my wrist, somebody - I've been really bad today: lunch out, half a tub of pringles, chocolate and now I'm feeling sick . I am in sole charge of dog walking, which means pushing the buggy as well, as dh is away.

Rovska are you still needing a slapped wrist or have you got over the blip? LMG fantastic - where did that 3lb disappear to?

LoveMyGirls · 06/05/2007 07:09

Ahem it's 4lb

I just stopped eating junk and fizzy drinks - i've still had the odd biscut and odd glass but nowhere near as much as i was having. I've been doing more like walking extra few steps here and there.
