It's really inspirational seeing how well you have all done. It's just so hard being at the starting point!

Wow Niki! I know it's annoying when you've bought new kit but that's an amazing achievement.

Another Linda has buggered off here so I'm feeling pretty chuffed! 11lb in 18 days. Feeling really good too. Out for lunch at a friend's today - I'm going to text her and warn her that I won't be eating anything but I'm sure the kids will make up for it!

Beep - I would recommend having a nose around the Blood Sugar Diet website. If you want immense boring detail on what I have done so far include all meals (snore) my thread is in the Fast 800 section and is called 'Started 17/7/17'.

Thank you Where I will do just that tonight. Rock n roll Friday night

Morning all. Bit of a sore head this morning. Too many beers watching the football. So disappointed that England lost Sad

Anyway, probably due to to dehydration, I am down again on the scales today. After being 10.5lbs up in my lowest when I came back from Spain last week, I am now only 3.2 up. Ridiculous amount in 8 days but it was quick on so came quick off. 10 days to go until next holiday Blush so I'm powering on through this weekend.

By the way TV I didn't give you a fanfare for your achievement. I think you've been trying to get under 10st 7lbs for yobks. Very very well done in getting there. I bet you are as chuffed as chips and rightly so. Hope you're not too blokey to accept Flowers

I'm pretty sure you have guessed that blokey is not me Blush

Morning, afternoon whatever it is. loses even track of days of week and time of day as the school holidays near the end

Not much movement here at the moment but I am going to keep plugging away.

NikiBabe · 04/08/2017 13:23

BOOP I had no idea England were even playing 😮

TVHubbyClaire · 04/08/2017 13:32

Isn't it a shame the women's euros has had hardly any coverage Sad

BOOP I wasn't watching but I was in the bath while DH was and from his howls of dismay I think he was disappointed too!

You're always on holiday - again I'm going to insist on telling you how fabulous your life is and you're going to deny it Grin

TVHubbyClaire · 04/08/2017 14:23

I lost interest in euros after the lassies lost 6-0 to the lionesses....

NikiBabe · 04/08/2017 14:43

Sorry to keep on posting banal crap but I can't get over this.

I went in to buy skinny jeans. Went for a 32 initially ......and came out with a 28 and it is still wrinkly through the legs a bit.

Well fuck me.

Wheresthattomoibabber · 04/08/2017 17:50

Fabulous!!!!

lastqueenofscotland · 04/08/2017 20:36

TV are you a fellow Scot?!?!?

poorpaws · 04/08/2017 22:43

Ooh I love you lot! I thought I was losing the plot but so many agreed with me, thank you. I still feel big today but feeling more positive and am definitely going to WW on Wednesday (👀stares at Squiffy).

So many of you with great posts. Go Niki, amazing, that pt wont be able to take his eyes off you. Tv doing brilliantly too before his holidays. Plum stick with us, you'll soon get there, you'll get very good advice here.

I'm off to a dog show tomorrow with lunch at one of my favourite pubs with award winning fish and chips. Mmm I wonder what I'll chose for lunch (they also have fantastic desserts).

BitOutOfPractice · 05/08/2017 00:02

I do like a holiday quim there's no denying it. I work hard in between though! The kids are away with their dad for a fortnight. We sometimes do a big glam holiday when they're away but this year we are camping in Holland for 5 days. Not do glam. But Holland is one of my very favourite places so I'm looking forward to it. No responsibilities at all for 5 days. It'll be great

Good Luck lasty.

Have a lovely weekend all.

Eggs for breakfast. The egg diet kind of held on.
