Another week then!!!

Ball last night was fantastic although I did eat lots (and drank too)!. I did well during the day and only had 6 points running up to it, and I did save a few points during the week but definitely went over. I will have to work really hard this week!

Food was lovely though:
Black marlin on crushed new potatoes
Spinach and nutmeg soup
Veggie tartlets on rosti potato
Sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce (I know!!! But lovely )
Coffee and chocolate

To dink:
Champagne
1/2 bottle of wine
Baileys

Not going to work out the points!!! I did dance thouh and had to work home and up the stairs when got back - does that count?

Have friends staying tonight too so more alcohol.

BTW, I felt really great in my dress, and was told so too Was going to take a photo but forgot Might have to get dressed up again just to do it!

Please join in - the more the merrier. Becca is keeping tabs on us all and we usually send her an e-mail with our weight loss each Thursday. She then keeps a running total and even sends nice e-mails back to us with hints and tips, advice and special ones for losing 7lbs, etc.

I am following the WW points too and feel pretty good doing it. Lost 12 pound so far in nearly 6 weeks.

Miranda I am sure you would be more than welcome. I joined a little late as well.
If you are comfortable with it email your current weight to becca at [email protected]

Just want to say that I really wanted to join too, but I have been so busy during the day here,that sometimes I don't even get to log in and I have not sent Becca my weight either. Hula I saw your photos and you look so good! I mean I really have a weight problem for my health so it is hard to have the right perspective, but I thnk you look wonderful!

Lisa78 · 11/02/2004 22:17

popsycal · 11/02/2004 22:17

Lisa78 · 11/02/2004 22:22

JanHR · 12/02/2004 09:32

Popsy - has she tried thopse instructions that another poster gave out - similar thread about getting barred. Have to change some settings or other.

No change for me either this week. First time I haven't lost anything but the weekend was a biggie for me with the ball and friends staying over so I am just happy I didn't put on. I am still so impressed that I have lost 12 pounds in total anyway. New week now - deterined to lose again this week.

Hi everyone

Managed to get back in this morning not sure what was wrong!

Been a bit lax with mamas group this week - been a bit poorly and had computer problems - will get back with it tonight when I do the announcement!

I will e-mail you my official loss when I get home Becca but may be late as going out for meal after work. I have stayed the same though so you can add me to the results through that is you want.

Becca - may be worth printing those instructions on the barring thread just in case it happens again. Must be a nightmare

A pound loss for me - I was expecting slightly more as I've been taking a sneaky weigh-in each time I go the the bathroom. Will have to hide them I this may be slightly obsessive

Kayleigh · 12/02/2004 10:19

a pound for me too this week. It's verrrry slow but at least it's coming off.

Beccarollover · 12/02/2004 10:35

stop revealing girls!!!!`

marthamoo · 12/02/2004 14:49

Just got to tell you something that really cheered me up after a bad week. Dh came home at lunchtime and said a work collague had been asking whether anyone wanted a pair of size 14 M&S trousers that she doesn't want any more. She said to dh "Oh what about MM, would they fit her?" and another woman he works with (I last saw her at her wedding, a month ago) said "oh don't be silly...she's like a stick!"

As I AM a size 14, that's very gratifying

And dh's colleague is now officially my New Best Friend.

Northerner · 12/02/2004 14:52

Would it be too late for me to join in? Don't want to lose loads but a few pounds would be good.

Beccarollover · 12/02/2004 14:57

Beccarollover · 12/02/2004 14:57

Dmum · 12/02/2004 15:05

Northerner - Becca normally has your start weight, and then each Thursday we e-mail our current weight, or weight loss. She then does a big reveal each Thursday night - only weight loss though (not actual weight).
