Good morning everyone,
Who's weighing today? I think I'll change to Friday weigh in, as I work Monday and Tuesday but not Friday.

fivegomadindorset · 07/09/2012 07:38

Morning all, my official weigh in for WW online is today, 17.13. So a pound off from last week. Must dash. Have a good day everyone.

marriedinwhite · 07/09/2012 07:44

Work remains horried and very stressful. Am now 3lb less than Monday. Clothes beginning to feel very loose.

TheOneWithTheHair · 07/09/2012 07:55

Morning all. Hope everyone has a good day today. :)

TheOneWithTheHair · 07/09/2012 07:56

Sorry about work married but yay for the 3lbs and loose clothes! :)

StealthPolarBear · 07/09/2012 08:16

well done five :) and good news married, though sorry it's through stress :(

Kato you made me really laugh last night, thank you :) I needed it - got in from the hospital at about half midnight, it looks like my grandad hasn't got much longer :( Feels a bit unreal at the moment.

Oblomov · 07/09/2012 08:17

Bought two work skirts from Matalan, size 16. Have never bought a size 16 before. Sad
But, am doing the school run, walking today. And will take ds2 to the park on the way home. First time I have walked anywhere really since I sprained my ankle months ago.
Zero execise could part explain the need to purchase skirts in the next size up.

StealthPolarBear · 07/09/2012 08:19

Oh Oblomov :( FWIW when i read your post i was about to cheer - s16 was a milestone for me! Don't let it put you off your long term goals. How are you getting on in general, feeling motivated or not?

TheOneWithTheHair · 07/09/2012 08:28

Stealth I'm sorry your grandad hasn't improved. I hope you and your family are coping ok. :(

Oblomov good luck today. Just think, the more you walk the stronger your ankle will get and the easier it will be. It will help to put you in a more positive frame of mind to which will all help the weightloss.

StealthPolarBear · 07/09/2012 08:37

thanks. We're OK I think. And if he dies I'll be pleased he was fit and healthy to the end, but it does make it such a shock.

InMySpareTime · 07/09/2012 09:18

The 2lb is gone to be fair, a jumper and belt may have been some of thatBlush

Sorry about your Grandfather stealth

StealthPolarBear · 07/09/2012 09:23

Well done imst! Remind me what the deadline was?
Are we getting close to needing a new thread?

KatoPotato · 07/09/2012 09:40

Friday weighins ladies!! 2lb off! 11st 7.5...
Not sure how much yesterday's 498 cals have to do with it but hip hip hooray!

InMySpareTime · 07/09/2012 09:51

My deadline and target is 11st by Christmas, still very achievable.

TheOneWithTheHair · 07/09/2012 17:52

Soooo quiet today. :)

I've Going to pizza express tonight. Any ideas what's best calorie wise on their menu?

InMySpareTime · 07/09/2012 18:09

Their "Leggera" range are 500 calories, or the salads with no dough sticks or dressing (but they sound a bit meh without those). I googled it and found the calorie chart on their website.

reastie · 07/09/2012 19:10

Hi all,

Not been on much as work is busy and I haven't been very good this week . Weighed myself just now and was 3lbs less than I usually am this time of day (was my usual first thing in the morning post wee pre breakfast weight) Shock so please please let this be a loss! I've been eating just over my calorie allowance most of the week, but hopefully not enough to do any damage. Dashing around with work but no gym all week.

Theone I'd guess something not too cheesy [clueless] ? Could you ask them t o put a bit less cheese than normal on yours and not to drizzle any oil on the top?

Excellent news on the loses

stealth so sorry to hear your Grandad isn't improving. It's so difficult having an unwell grandparent (speaks the person who has lost 3 of my 4 grandparents in the past year) Sad

obvlo I was about to congratulate you too on the size 16 as I'm desperate to get back to size 16. Short term goals and long term goals though, and don't beat yourself up - you will get there.

InMySpareTime · 07/09/2012 19:33

I've been cycling here, there and everywhere today, so even with a slice of apple pie and a glass of wine I'm well under caloriesSmile. I feel great too, and got lots of jobs done. I did slightly break my bike though, so it's in the bike shop tonight having a serviceBlush.

fivegomadindorset · 07/09/2012 20:19

Just to let you all know, Stealths Grandfather passed away this afternoon Sad

BonkeyMollocks · 07/09/2012 20:23

Oh I'm so sorry Stealth :(

Thoughts are with you.

marriedinwhite · 07/09/2012 20:44

Lighting two candles for Stealth's grandad. Hope you are OK. With lots of prayers and love and hugs. Sad

slothprincess · 07/09/2012 20:45

So sorry to hear about your Grandad Stealth.

StealthPolarBear · 07/09/2012 20:51

Thanks everyone :) I am ok. He had a good life (apart from losing my grandma young) and a good death. He got to see everyone important to him in the last 24 h and I mean really see us, he was mentally fine and fully aware we were there. Managed to say he loved us.

Tell you something, this hasn't been a good diet day! He noticed I'd lost weight and always said I was looking fantastic. Ah well, back on it tomorrow or Sunday!
