Hi everyone, had a really busy week, so not been online as much as usual and now it's the middle of the night and I can't sleep, so thought I'd catch up.
Holy...sorry to hear you've been suffering. It's hard enough to do this thing when we're in good health, never mind with the obstacles you face on a daily basis. Slip ups will happen, it's how you deal with it afterwards that's going to be different this time. But you sound like you've recognised that and you're trying to avoid the same old all or nothing behaviour, so good one you for that, it's a total head fuck sometimes.
Orlanda, well done on another 2lbs off! I love your 'every mickle maks a muckle' and it's so true. Thanks for sharing your goals, they really help, especially as we all face such similar journeys. An amazing result getting into the next BMI category too. If you enjoyed your opera day with your son, then it wasn't a bad day, just a treat day. It won't hurt in the grand scheme of things and you've got it with tomorrow's another day!
Pinot....your bag on the scales did make me chuckle! Well done on the 3lbs off. Thanks for giving us some real insight into what it can be like living with a gastric band.
Box...or should we call you Khaleesi? 
your GOT theme night sounds brilliant. I'm sure it was worth a night off plan. Sometimes we do need to not have to think about dieting and just relax and kick back a bit and just have fun. It means we won't feel miserable and deprived along the way. Well done on your 1lb off and you did it whilst still enjoying yourself - result! Brilliant dog meme pic.
Wobbly....well done on getting past your one month mental block and for resisting the cake in M&S. A 6 mile walk is epic and will make a real difference to calories burned off. Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow.
Narcs...your yes/no lists in the cupboards are inspired! I could do with doing that in my kitchen. What a huge relief it must be to finally get a diagnosis for your son after such a long time and to know he'll now get the help he needs. That's wonderful news. Amazing resisting the pecan slice. Your calories are very low, it sounds like you just need a few snack ideas to fill you up and hit your calorie target without ruining your plan. I would look up some of the slimming world snack suggestions online, as your diet sounds similar to friends who're doing it. Well done on the 5.5lbs off!
Flibberty....4.4lbs off is amazing, well done! And that much despite eating out lots is doubly amazing. You sound like you've got the balance just right.
My week has been a bit hectic and I know I've snacked on cheese too much, as it's often all I can grab easily. I also had a pretty tipsy evening out with a friend and I know prosecco and vodka are pretty low carb, but quite so many of them is really not good. It was a great night though! It's my time of the month too, so not expecting a great loss when I get on the scales later. Right I'd better try and get back to sleep (if it's even possible with DH snoring like daddy pig!) or I'm going to feel rubbish in the morning, nighty night.
