Waves a big, warm welcome to little, fleuricle and pinboard - it's great to see our little thread is still growing and the more the merrier to keep each other semi-sane along this mad journey. Lurkers are just as welcome as posters too, whatever works for you is the way to go.
Holy...you're afternoon tea sounded delish! And what a brilliant weigh-in with 3.5lbs off...you'll have that stone off in no time. I just googled the spoons theory you mentioned. It's really interesting and a great way to promote a bit of understanding with less visible illnesses. 5 syns can easily be made up, hope you sort the utility bill out, that's infuriating when it's a mistake on their part and they don't sort it out immediately.
Orlanda...bless you darling, what a week you've had. With everything else you're facing at the moment, you must have felt completely overwhelmed, yet still managed to be brilliant in a crisis. Hats off to you and if a little bit of ice cream helps you, so be it! Good to hear you've had a lovely compliment and that your cossie and jeans will soon be too big. Hope you manage to find a sorts bra that fits.
Malmsey...great news on the 2lbs off! You sound like you're cracking the 5:2 plan, well done.
Wobbly...thanks, yes I am proud that I'm still on the wagon 6 and a half weeks later, I would have often given up by now. But this time it's different, largely thanks to you lot, it seems to really help me being accountable to complete (but lovely) strangers on t'internet 
. Omg 2 stones, yee-hah!! That's bloody amazing wobbly, you are kicking obesity's butt right now. Well done you! You'll be in that 2002 skirt in no time at this rate. Yes I agree, some very slim people can have just as disordered a relationship with food as we do, yet can be quite opinionated about diets. I choose very carefully what to say to certain people about dieting.
Narcs...wow 9 sizes in your wardrobe, I thought I was bad with 7! Just think how amazing you'll feel when you get back into those beautiful clothes you've saved. I've saved some gorgeous clothes that wouldn't even fit one of my thighs now, but we will get there. You have an inspirational strength of mind over matter to be able to use your stressful energy to focus on sticking to your plan. Your feeder friend is hilarious, good job you're feeling strong enough to resist. Thanks for all your ME information and your sports bra advice Narcs.
Flibberty...don't beat yourself up about the 3lbs. TOTM can make a massive difference to weight, so you're definitely not making excuses. That 3lbs will be off by next week I reckon. We can do this and yes, keep saying it, it is sinking in.
Fairfax....soup is so good for you. You've just reminded me that I really should make some again, I haven't made any for a few weeks.
I'm having an interesting week trying to juggle working part time with half-term and playdates and Valentine's and friend's birthdays. Managing to stay on track food-wise, but had 2 glasses of prosecco on tues afternoon with friends, then half a bottle of champagne that evening and then another half a bottle of champagne last night. I'm out again on Saturday for DH's birthday too. Think I'll be lucky to get away with that much alcohol this week. Feeling strong and positive at the moment, so pleased with that. Where has the week gone though?!!
