Hairspray I once went flying over a loose paving stone out running. Properly smashed my knee open, cried in the street and someone decided to point out my knee was bleeding... thanks mate I hadn't fucking noticed Hmm

Hope you're feeling better soo!

Softpebbles · 16/06/2017 21:20

Bless you hairspray. Takeaway. I would and did. It has been a crapola week. X

HairsprayBabe · 17/06/2017 06:57

Thanks for all the sympathy guys I was feeling very sorry for my self!!
Feeling ok now, bruised my sholder along with all my grazes, but don't seem to have done any serous damage.
Managed to rescue the dinner by leaving the burnt bottom 1/4 in the pan, the topped up the rest with some spinach.
Scales struggled to decide on 10.5 or 10.6 for me this morning... if I am good this weekend I may actually get a loss next week 😂

lastqueenofscotland · 17/06/2017 07:38

Same as yesterday again for me. Which is fine.

Off for a cheeky parkrun before work at 11

Happy Birthday BOOP! CakeWineGinStarFlowers

Stellar67 · 17/06/2017 08:48

Koko that's fantastic work :-)

My phone is playing up... if I vanish I'm still here.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 17/06/2017 13:12

Am back from my few days away, just caught up on the thread!

Happy birthday Boop!

That sounds like a really good loss Keepon, I hope that kickstarts things for you!

I weighed in this morning and thankfully by some miracle have only gained 0.2kg while I was away. However I will be doing lots of visiting family/friends and eating out this weekend and next week, so not sure how that will go. I'll try to reign it in a bit but I do want to enjoy it so I might just have to sod the consequences and climb back on the wagon when I am back at work Grin

Hello all . I have lost 2 pounds this week which is marvellous but it is now the weekend and booze is aplenty .

I did go to the gym this morning so now I can drink vodka yes ? Grin

lastqueenofscotland · 17/06/2017 20:33

Howlong they are definitely the rules!

Howlongtillbedtime · 17/06/2017 20:58

And you are a queen so it must be true !

lastqueenofscotland · 17/06/2017 21:03

I say this to DP a lot...

readyforsunshine · 18/06/2017 07:36

Happy belated birthday boop 🎂🎉🍾
So pleased you're on the move koko wish I could get something happening I've lost patience now & am fed up with being 'sensible'

lastqueenofscotland · 18/06/2017 07:38

Right I'm now going on holiday in October so really need to sort myself out.

Might make a spreadsheet....

QuimReaper · 18/06/2017 18:13

HAAAPPY BIIIIIRTHDAY TO BOOOOOOOOOOP! 🎶 Hope you had the most WONDERFUL party you lovely thing!

Hairspray you poor thing, what a shock. I came off a mountain bike a couple of years ago and I still bear the scars, it was genuinely quite traumatising.

koko fab start, well done you!

I had a wedding this weekend so jolly indulgent but also quite active. I weighed in on Friday and it said I'd gained about 3 Linda's Confused I don't think that can have been right so I decided to just try again next week, the machine was out of order for a couple of weeks so it might be dodgy. A couple of weeks ago I weighed in after lots of indulgence followed by just two good days, and had only gained 200lbs so I don't think it can have been right after three great days.

The wedding canapés were scones with clotted cream and ham which may be my most favourite thing on earth, I have no idea how many I managed to cram in Grin

DrMadelineMaxwell · 18/06/2017 19:49

Another 3lb off this week.

Then a disaster of a day. I do sabotage myself horribly.

I have a tricky week ahead too, with 2 work lunches provided on courses (instea of my usual salad and fruit combo) and a family meal out to celebrate DD's last GCSE exam.

I have committed myself to 2 fitness classes (maybe 3) and have a plan to limit damage, calorie wise. I'm just rubbish with temptation.

3 weeks til the wedding and 5 til the holiday should keep my mind focused.

I thought I was doing well until I tried on last year's holiday clothes. They fitted beautifully. I had hoped I'd be a bit too small for them.

Sigh.

Better than having NOT lost any weight though.

FreeNiki · 19/06/2017 00:24

I havent lost anything this month at all. Im tge same as last month.

How the hell do i kick start it again.

lastqueenofscotland · 19/06/2017 05:59

Stayed the same which is a relief...

The fear has kicked in about going on holiday now... time to work at it

HairsprayBabe · 19/06/2017 07:19

10.10 but some of that is AF bloat I am sure.

Got to get my head in the game this week, keep going round in circles! Need to stop being so social at the weekend 😂
Was good all Saturday day, then not so good at the birthday party, Rosè sangria, cheese, cake, bread, crisps oopsy...
Then good yesterday save for the smallest sliver of cheesecake at MILs, too hot to eat today, so maybe that will help? 😂

lastqueenofscotland · 19/06/2017 07:47

Already managed an hour in the gym this morning.

Determined to not be pushed in to the sea by Greenpeace when I go on holiday.

BitOutOfPractice · 19/06/2017 08:25

Hello! Here I am! On the other side of my big birthday. God it was fabulous. My party on Saturday night was so lovely. Christ only knows what I weigh! I am back on it like a car bonnet today.

Hope everyone is ok. I'm off to read back now

Aww thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes.

Went out for a very posh and lovely meal with my family on Friday. Speeches and surprises and many many laughs.

Chard was at my party on Saturday. She is looking utterly fabulous. I do wish I could post one of the pictures of us all dolled up.

The marquee looked so pretty when it was all decorated and with a big long table for 20 all laid with flowers and candles. The food was delish (everyone brought a course) with very little leftovers. My niece manned a cocktail bar in the marquee and those went down really well. Party games between courses. It was just so so lovely. Everyone came back the next morning for a breakfast barbecue. I loved every minute.

We cleared the marquee yesterday then my lovely DP set it all up just for the two of us with candies had champagne and music for dinner á deux.

Can I do it all again next weekend ?
