I have started a new thread for May

I feel quite sheepish doing that as my wagon has trundled out of site over the horizon. But hey, let's all show willing!

Just realised its the last day of the month. Checked back. 5lb off in April, that's a lot better than I thought from all the rubbish half pounds. Smile

Still raining here too, and I just had to take dd out in it for her 1 year jabs.....4 of them, both arms and both legs. Poor mini hoopla.

Hello all!

It's raining like MAD here has been for hours! Miserable stuff. I've more or less stayed the same this month Sad I've got three golden days this week and then FIVE days of indulgence (!), followed by three golden days, followed by four days of indulgence. I fear May will not be my month...

Morning everyone!

poor fizz kick May is definately your month and there is nothing to stop you.

Go hoola!

Weighed in today at 9st12. Finally. So that's 6 lindas off since 3rd of April, or if I went with my 31 March weigh in cheat, that's 7 lindas off in April! Grin

Holidays start Saturday, so I've got a few more days to stay on plan before the celebrations begin then.

Confused oh dear Paws

Good work Sesame

I managed just half a Linda last week. But I've started Monday on 8.13.4 so that's a good omen for the week.

Hope everyone else are dryer than me this cold, wet, windy morning.

Morning fizzing. Definitely no wagons around here. Haven't seen one in weeks.

New month tomorrow. I'm hoping one will arrive then.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Morning all! Has anyone seen my wagon? I'm sure I parked it around here somewhereBlush. I haven't been on it this weekend, that's for sure - despite the holiday weight still lurking.

A change in circumstances meant that we unexpectedly had houseguests for 3 nights instead of 1 - which was lovely, but I ate all the food. And let's just say it wasn't vegetables. Also, wine.

Somehow - and I genuinely have no idea how - I weighed 12st 9.9 this morning, which is actually fractionally down on Friday (when I last dared step on the scales). I do not deserve this, and I expect it to catch up with me tomorrow.

I am 0.5 Lindas up on 31st March, so April was not a great month for me. May MUST be better! Strap me to that wagon and DO NOT let me off!!!

So April was the month I was going to do it! Great determination and nothing was going to stop me.

I gained 3lbs.

May is the month, nothing is going to stop me .

Finally dropped below 9-13 this morning, so that looks like I've got rid of 5 lindas during April. Smile

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Dropped off the thread! 1.5lb on this week but reduced bfing DS2 so only doing two feeds a day now and the dreaded AF returned this week so milk filled boobs and period bloat is to blame I recon.

Oh Boop how scary. I bet there won't be much diet damage, stress really does burn calories. I hope the mri goes well. I totally understand you wanting to be there. If it helps dd has had an mri and it was probably one of the least traumatic (unless your claustrophobic) it's the results she will need you for and I presume you will have to wait for those.

I’ve just had an offer on a house accepted... calories in prosecco are surely exempt for tonight?

Hey good morning and well done in the losses hairspray, twink, Quim and maj!

I'm not even thinking about weighing now. It's been too bonkers a week.

Date through for dd1's MRI week after next. Of course it's a day I'm away in business and as I'm giving a paper I can't get out of it. But, as dd reminded me, she does have two parents so her dad is taking her. I feel a bit shit about that though.

Think that's brilliant I hope the big loss has spurred you on Smile

BOOP kids really do live just to give us heart attacks don't they. Glad she is fine and I hope you've had time to rest and get some sleep back. Since having babies I have nearly shat out my own organs through stress a million times Grin

I am down another 3 Linda's since I last weighed. To be fair life kind of got in the way and I haven't calorie counted or been very strict with myself. I am now currently 12.2. Could have very easily been in the 11's. Glad it's not a gain, and I'm focused now to get back on track. It's annoying me knowing that if I had calorie counted and done exercises I would be way lower!

I quite fancy that diet Hair, please can I do that and lose 2 Lindas?

I've lost... 100g.

THIS IS SO. BORING.

400 above target still, and I was hoping to be a whole kilo under it by the time I went on holiday. Sad Balls.
