splat and Hairspray this is so tense Grin

Golden day here - forgot to take my smoothie out so only eaten 2 hard boiled eggs so far Hmm and needed to pick up a few things so forced myself to tramp around in the drizzle with a stupidly heavy bag, and racked up almost 15K steps. Having a miso soup now. Am cautiously optimistic for tomorrow!

Whoop hairspray!

I’m at 4lb loss this month now at 11st1.6 so feeling like I could get back in the 10s this month.

HairsprayBabe · 17/11/2017 07:22

Best month for a while for me -5lbs I think, I have been in the 10's since April I think, maybe even earlier!

HairsprayBabe · 17/11/2017 07:24

Just checked I'm on -4lbs for this month

HappyGowerGirl · 17/11/2017 08:09

thats so great Hair, I'm really finding the last few lbs the hardest! I'm 59.9kg still this morning... if I could just drop another single Linda this month I would be satisfied

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 17/11/2017 08:46

Well done Hairspray! That is fab!

Kiki 4 lbs is great, I reckon the 10s are a realistic goal.

I'm still 1lb up this morning, even though I was very golden yesterday and resisted the biscuits Angry I was planning to go to bodypump again this morning but I'm still SO achy from Tuesday, I don't think I can face it. I'll have to go over the weekend.

twinkledag · 17/11/2017 08:51

Well done hairspray!!

NamasteNiki · 17/11/2017 08:52

The scales appeared to be down to 61.5kg which is 9.9.

Which is a 3-4lb loss if correct

splatattack · 17/11/2017 10:41

Amazing work hairspray and niki!!!

QuimReaper · 17/11/2017 11:12

WAHOOOOOOOOO Hairspray YOU'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!! Grin Grin Grin Flowers Wine Star

I had a feeling in me waters that this would be your week!

QuimReaper · 17/11/2017 11:17

Well don eyou too Kiki, you've had a great month!

I just more or less sprinted to Boots and the scales were out of order AGAIN. I swear they're OOO about 25% of the time! BUT I tried on my suspicious home scales this morning and they pleased me, so I'm assuming I'm fine. They tend to weigh me in heavier than the Boots ones though, so I'm grumpy that I missed the possibility of swanning home waving a Super Pleasing weight slip...!

HairsprayBabe · 17/11/2017 11:41

Thanks all Grin very very pleased to be back on track.... I might reach my final goal by Christmas at this rate!

Quim I know you weigh in boots, but don't you have to make sure you are wearing the exact same lightest clothes every time? Not possible this time of year, can't imagine you strip off next to the bifocals and antacids.... just pondering as I weigh in the nip.

QuimReaper · 17/11/2017 11:50

Hairspray I basically wear a very light stretchy jersey dress and tights every time I weigh, which I figure can't throw the scales by more than a couple of hundred grams at the most - I'd never do it in jeans or a big jumper or anything.

HappyGowerGirl · 17/11/2017 11:57

Hairspray I was thinking the same thing about the Boots scales😂

I only weigh myself:

  • first thing
  • naked
  • after going to the toilet
-before having a tea

😂

backinthatdress · 17/11/2017 12:17

quim - i just do weight watchers pro points, 26 points a day. fruit and most veg is 0 points.
i dont do much excerise but i do have a 4 & 6 year old that i run around after all the time if that counts lol

well done hairspray and niki!

Kiki - your be in the 10s in no time and hopefully il be joining you. how tall are you?

backinthatdress · 17/11/2017 12:19

HappyGowerGirl - That is exactly how i weigh as well 😂
