Hey ladies. An early night and back was great at boot camp. Now it's not.

Spurious - merina 😬 Good luck!

Great determination Hairspray. Chilli for tea tonight, salad at lunch and only had a babybel so far today.

I tried very hard today and I don't think I did too badly. When I craved chocolate I had an apple and later on an orange. I know, I know it's still sugar but it least it's a natural sugar.

Had a bad start to the day because someone hit my car but thankfully they left me a note. It's still a lot of hassle though and there were a lot of cars on the road but it would be mine that they hit.

Keep up the good work for an angel week you angels because next weekend we'll all have a fantastic loss.

Wheres well done on the 2 Lindas!

That's so annoying Pawpoors, is your car badly damaged?

As predicted I did not achieve very much yesterday afternoon. Still, onwards and downwards, I'm doing a fast day today. Only black coffee until lunch time, then egg muffins for lunch and stir fry for dinner.

10.8 slowwwwly coming off...

although TMI alert - I have, ahem "been" since I weighed this morning, and I feel lighter as a result!

Vegetable stir fry for tea and a 2nd fast day for me.

Am also considering a PT there is one who works out of the gym by my work, and he is called "Sleepy Dave" on facebook!

Weigh yourself after the loo hairspray or its not accurate.

I weigh first thing in the morning Nikki but then I am out of the house from 6:30-5ish... I tend to "go" mid morning!

Sorry for all the toilet talk all!

Welcome back Hairspray, how was it?! That's a fantastic post-holiday result I'd say, well done! What is a cauli cheese frittata? I'm making a cauliflower and broccoli bake for dinner this evening, been meaning to try it for ages but the trending Cauliflower Cheese thread spurred me on

Good to see you back on the wagon paws, grabbing the scales by the horns is the hardest bit over. You'd never have known about your 4-Linda whoosh if you hadn't weighed! Weight Watchers tomorrow, oui?

I'm only expecting to manage 3 golden days this week (if today can be called golden with a cheesy dinner), then have people over for dinner Thursday and Friday. Ho hum. This way does Massive Gain Land lie, I mustn't let it slide again.

It is a deeply complex recipe Quim

feeds 4 with salad
2 spring onions
1 small cauliflower

20g cheese per person
8 eggs.

fry off spring onion in a large frying pan, nuke cauli and add to the pan, whisk eggs and pour over, cover and cook on low until set. Add cheese and stick under grill cut into 4 and serve with salad.

Holiday was lush, ate amazing food, drank the campsite dry of balies with my aunt and mother! Swam in the sea loads and went to a petting zoo and fed a goat a banana!

That sounds pretty amazing even without the food Hairspray! Love the idea of feeding a banana to a goat.

That sucks about your car poorpaws but well done on the goldenness. My first day back at work involved a buffet lunch featuring tablet, meringues, cornflake cakes and reece's cups. I mainly had salad and salami but did have a little taste of a couple of sweet things. Not much at all though, given the sheer volume! Unfortunately it will still be there tomorrow so I will need to dig deep...

Spuriouser the car is drivable but has a huge dent over the wheel and down the drivers door and the front panel too. I've lived here a long time and this year the road has got really busy and everyone is block parking on each side of the road making it very narrow. No doubt it will get sorted though.

Quim yes I think I'll crawl quietly into WW and sit at the back hoping no-one notices me. The trouble is I've known the leader for a long time so she always makes a point of talking to me in the meetings. She will probably say out loud paws hasn't been for two weeks, so what's your excuse paws. She'll have a wicked smile on her face and everyone will know she's joking because she is just so so lovely. I don't like to let her down.

So how's the angel week going everyone? Hard innit. I'm not being as perfect as I could be but I'm still doing a lot of steps and trying hard.

I am struggling to weigh this week. My period is late again. My digestive system isn't wanting to work and it is making me feel Mehhh

I have been having some tests at the doctors and they have come back with me being low in iron again - this is a constant battle and I should just take iron supplements continuously, I also appear to be low in progesterone - I think this can effect weight loss/gain. I have an appointment later so will discuss it.

3 golden days is good quim. Hope TV is having a good holiday. Paws you will feel better when you go back to WW and start again. X

Morning all, 10.6 +2lbs and almost got the holiday gain off, am hopeful for a real loss this month after STS for the last three! I am feeling very positive!

Have you tried phylum husk pebbles? It is a fiber supplement that is sold in holland and barrett as the catchily named "Colon Cleanse" works a treat let me tell you!

Enough with the poop talk, I got a hamster last night, his name is Mr Woppet, and I am fully in love with him!

It is MILs birthday today, so we are going round for dinner, I will not be having cake and I am continuing on in my golden streak, had BPC for brekky and will have another at lunchtime, then will have stuffed peppers at MILs for tea.

Uncle brought me round an ENOURMOUS courgette on Sunday, so I will have to think of something to cook with it!

Hairspray I STS for 3 months then suddenly started driving it down again. I didnt change anything I did really.

Maybe the body just does these things. Idk.

I am going away for a few days. Shit. Hope I dont pile on loads.

LET US SEE MR WOPPET!

LET US SEE MR WOPPET!

I missed the Hamster bit.

Oh yes let's see him!

I have never had a hammy before and he is like a tiny beautiful teddy bear, DP thinks I am mad!

Aw so cute!

🐹

He is adorable!

Poorpaws Sounds like a bit of a nightmare, hope it gets sorted soon!

Mr. Woppet is so cute Hairspray!

I failed at my fast day yesterday, so I'm aiming for two golden days on the trot now. Today has been ok, if I stick to my plan for dinner I will finish the day on 900 calories. Not much in the way of exercise though, I didn't manage to get to my HIIT class and have only done about 2500 steps (according to my iphone)

Daaaah hello Mr Woppet, what a cutie! What made you suddenly decide to get a hamster?!

Went a bit off-piste today. Had a G&T instead of just a T, nibbled on cheese when making sandwiches and pasta for DH, and ate a load of mayonnaise Still coming in under 1000 I think, but not the best Fast Day...

I love Mr Woppet, I love him.

I've had a disaster or two today. I had a bit of trauma in my day but decided I should still go to Weight Watchers. After the meeting I realised I was starving and still had my shopping to do as I won't have the car tomorrow. I ended up going to MacDonalds and ordering ... well lots! But instead of going on my usual two week binge after this mistake I intend to get back on the wagon tomorrow and have a few golden days. I've messed up for an angel week but will try again next week.

I hope everyone is doing well, at least much better than I am.

Spuriouser 900 cals is still pretty awesome. 😊

poorpaws well done for getting back to WW. Even more well done for just drawing a line and deciding to get back to it tomorrow.

Big day today - DS1 starts high school and DS2 starts primary. I have been in denial all summer but the day is finally here. Eeeek!

I fly away today on a wee holiday.

There isnt an icon of the Saltire that I can find. So remove the red parts from this 🇬🇧

Had a very small slice of unplanned enforced cake last night for MILs birthday wasn't even worth it as v dry and am 10.6 again, had a BPC for breakfast again and we are having burrito bowls for dinner.

I don't know Quim I said I thought they were cute, a friend had a cage in the loft that had been out of use for many years, our very old baby snake died about a month ago and we were missing an animal in our life. So Mr Woppet was purchased on the way home from work! He is a little darling even though he tipped over his water bowl last night.
