How is your brother today Hairspray?

Enjoy your parkrun last! How's your weekend going BOOP?

That's fantastic Early, and we're only halfway through the month.

Yesterday started well but I dread to think how much I inhaled in the evening

Today will be better I'm so determined!

Where is everyone!!

Holidays tomorrow. I want to try and stay active to prevent weight gain but I think a few pounds is probably going to happen!

I'm here! Nothing much to report but I'm trying hard.

My weekend was a bit of a disaster I think. Dreading weighing tomorrow

Oh fuck this is a total disaster 10.13 😱😱😱 and that was without booze!

I need to have two golden weeks and be good at the weekends.... fasting today, herbal tea only till dinner time and a small dinner...

I may have to take drastic action and do the egg fast again.

Bro is feeling very sorry for himself, was re-admitted to hospital on Saturday overnight, still not seen the neurologist so mum is getting frustraited now.

Hairspray I'll join you in the disaster zone!
10.8
HALF A STONE IN A WEEKEND WHAT THE FUCK QUEEN?!

I'm furious at myself

A quick Monday morning check in...no loses for me, stayed the same for the last two weeks so need to have a good week before the boys finish for School!!
Thinking of you and your family Hairspray hope your brother gets seen to today and can get home
Hiya Paws it's not easy is it?
Early that's amazing well done

lasty that has been me for weeks! I am just going to have to be perfect till we go away, have just done a run, nearly 3k which is very good for me as I HATE excercise....
Having a cup of herbal tea now and I might do a video later once I have aired the house out a bit.

I am so cross at myself, this was how much I weighed at the start of June after my weekend of partying and bread!

I'm cross too. I did so well all week and in the days then I'd have two glasses of wine with dinner and just hoover up cheese and biscuits
Thankfully I'm at work this weekend

I'm also in the disaster zone. 9lbs up from my lightest!!! Get a grip BOOP!

Boop I'm up THIRTEEN POUNDS from my lightest.
That is OUTRAGEOUS.

Aaaaah not just me in the "WTF happened" department then! Sounds like we're all about to grit our teeth and get serious! I've just found out we have a friend staying for three nights this week before he gets married on Friday I had planned to be golden today, Weds and Thurs to be slinky in my new dress but now we're going to have to have a celebration on the Thursday, it being the night before he gets hitched and all! I've suggested sushi, calorific but pretty light.

Next week it's happening. I'm getting really serious: I'm even going to diet hard over the weekend in order to see a loss by the end of the month. That's practically unheard of for me! An eleven-day diet stint. (Which will probably at best to take me back to where I was at the beginning of the year... )

I am signing up for the WTF brigade - I am going in the wrong direction too. Head is still in holiday mode I think. Grrrr.

No wonder your brother feels sorry for himself Hairspray, hope he gets to see someone soon.

I am so so annoyed with myself. I did have a rather terrific weekend though

Oh god I was just sloping back into the thread to admit that I have fallen off the wagon and am up 6lbs since my lowest weight so far, only to find out everyone is struggling! There must be something in the water over here.

Will catch up on the thread now, whilst I sip my no-calorie mint tea

Managed a really golden day today. Hopefully can shift a few of these excess pounds very quickly.

I'm going to be coming in under 1000 calories and a gym session if I don't weaken now. I'll take that

When i got on the scales this morning it started with a 9! That's the first time I've seen a 9 in 4-5 years. I just hope I can stay there until Wednesday night for Weight Watchers weighin. I think it is more a hard work loss than food related. I have been chopping trees and bushes for days (don't ask) it's really hard work and I've been too tired to eat much at night. I've not made a great deal of progress with the trees compared to how many I've still got to do (just a tiny corner done) so at this rate I could be really slim by the end of August 😀

Sorry so many of you are struggling at the moment, it's so hard to accept a gain. Come on Paws Tree Felling Course you'll lose it in no time 😀 Sorry I hope that doesn't sound smug, it isn't meant to be.

Seriously I hope you all have a better week next week.

😘 for Hairspray and family.

I am now 65kg or 10.3.

Lowest for a long time. Enjoying all the changes and am looking at doing more weight lifting now as I want some more muscle tone.

Load of disappointment on the job front at the moment so I feel shitty about that.

Hope your brother is ok Hairspray.

146 so 2 down from yesterday. Fingers crossed the rest of my new half stone comes off as quickly

10.11, another fast day for me, back at work so it is much easier to not nibble!

Stir Fry for tea

Seems lots of us are struggling at the moment. After struggling last week and seeing a slight gain on official weigh in I have been panicked enough to really stick with it the last few days. I have weighed today and am 97.6kg. 3lb left to go in 9 days. Out hiking with a friend tonight to boost my calories burned. Have planned my evening meals for the week and going to try a new recipe turkey shami kebabs later in the week. Going to a wedding on Sat so going to have to dance my arse off to counteract the food.

Does anyone have any go to easy evening meals they can suggest please?

EURGH just found out that I didn't get promoted but the girl who sits next to me and the guy who sits on my other side did.....

We all started at the same time, and all do the same job, the promotion is the same job just a grade higher work is allocated randomly so no more difficult specifically...

I feel like a prize knob, I think I need to find something new, I feel humiliated!!!!

Glad to see you Niki

Thanks for all the love guys, saw DBro last night, poor lad is covered in bruises
