Oh no, I missed saying goodbye (temporarily) to Mrs JC. SJ, if you're seeing her on Thursday, please give her my love and best wishes for a smooth journey (with lots of Medised). I can't wait to hear from her again when she gets settled.

don;t forget its weigh in day

Send your losses (or in my case gains!) to me on suejonez at aol dot com.

No slackers now - all in by 10 o'clock this evening and I'll sort out a new thread then.

JackieNo · 30/08/2006 12:03

That'll be your IoW trip coming back to haunt you will it. Still, you had fun, so no point in stressing about it. Will weigh and email after lunch.

suejonez · 30/08/2006 12:35

I have just weighed and haven't put on! Very odd - but I was really careful yesterday and felt very in control (probably only ate about 1000 calories as I was trying to make up for the weekend). Unusual for me - in the past I've often gone completely off the rails after a weekend/week away. So I feel really happy - not only becuase I haven't put on but becasue I feel OK about the whole going away and over eating thing.

Have I finally learnt that overeating is not a "bad" thing that I do? That everyone does it and it quite normal but that the trick is to get back on the straight and narrow as quickly as possible.

ACtually I probably haven't learnt that but it's a good start!

suejonez · 30/08/2006 12:36

Sorry we won't be neighbours Littlefish, but I'm sure the move would have been a mixed blessing for. Has DH now got the moving bug?

Dottydot · 30/08/2006 12:38

Well I didn't eat the chocolate! Had bought the kids a small bar each but they didn't have them at tea time, so they were sat in the cupboard (where they still are..!). I had a lovely hot bath instead, which was a real treat! My WW weigh in is tomorrow, but for last week I lost half a pound (which SueJonez keeps reminding me is good! ).

JackieNo · 30/08/2006 12:39

Well a pleasant surprise here - have emailed you sue - somehow I've lost 4 pounds. So I'm pretty happy! I just don't understand my body. I don't feel as though I've done anything particularly different from last week, and I put on a pound then.

JackieNo · 30/08/2006 12:40

Yay for suejonez and dottydot. That's a fab result!

suejonez · 30/08/2006 12:40

but its all about averages Jackie - you won;t lose evenly for any number of reasons. Good lesson in that if you just keep doing the right thing the overall result will be good weight loss in the end.

WELL DONE [GRIN]

JackieNo · 30/08/2006 12:43

Yup - it's all looking at the big picture, I guess. I keep trying to imagine a graph where the time axis goes from 0 weeks to 104 weeks, and seeing how I'm doing on that, rather than focusing on the individual weeks.

whoopsfallenoveragain · 30/08/2006 12:46

Sue

I have just emailed you!

Can you let me know if you don't get it!!

Littlefish · 30/08/2006 19:18

Hey SJ - did you know that there's another Sue (I presume) Jones on this site.

Have a look on this thread

suejonez · 30/08/2006 19:47

and she seems to be welsh! Is it me - would I know if I had a split personality?

suejonez · 30/08/2006 19:48

ANd OY! you lot where are all the weight loss emails....

suejonez at aol dot com

I'm going out to play bridge now and I want to see them all when I get back - put your weight loss not just yoru weight as I don;t have last weeks weights with me.

MamaG · 30/08/2006 20:20

have emailed you!

Fauve · 30/08/2006 20:30

Oh hell, I've stayed the same again. Very tedious, and a bit frustrating since I tried very hard at the end of last week. Never mind, must keep trying (albeit through gritted teeth.)

suejonez · 30/08/2006 23:24

So far:

Whoops - 7lb
JackieNo - 4lb (26lb)
Dottydot - 0.5 lb
Fauve - stayed same (total 8lb)
SueJones - stayed same (total 14lb)

Think thast all I have so the crown goes to Whoops this week with a stonking weight loss (though she did admit that she'd changed scales) with an honorable mention to JackieNo as thats a great loss for this stage of the game.
