Haha, Hoola - I was so tempted to do the same, because I was expecting the scales to be very mean. I was very surprised when they were (relatively) kind.

HappyGowerGirl · 21/05/2018 13:56

Postponing my weigh in till tomorrow after a very boozy weekend😳

Twixes · 21/05/2018 13:56

yeah Hoola I would be emaciated if I got to that weight and would definitely not look healthy.

Well done on wearing the dress Quim!

ponygirlcurtis · 21/05/2018 19:59

I have no doubt that you looked totally awesome Quim. I think it's really important to 'own' that - we get so good at putting ourselves down, we need to celebrate our fabulousness too! Go you!

ponygirlcurtis · 22/05/2018 07:27

I am back in a new stone bracket! Very pleased, not been here since pre-Christmas. 3.5lbs to my first target of 10st 10lbs, where I know I am comfortable. I might make the 7lb in a month for the first time ever! 😆

Hoolahoophop · 22/05/2018 07:54

StarPonygirl well done that's fab.

lastqueenofscotland · 22/05/2018 08:55

Hi pony!

That’s brilliant well done Smile

HappyGowerGirl · 22/05/2018 09:41

Nice work ponygirl!

Weighed at in 9.8 this morning (61.2kg), 3 more pounds till goal😬😬😬

Twixes · 22/05/2018 09:57

Wow pony that's great, well done!

Twixes · 22/05/2018 09:58

And well done to you too HappyGowerGirl!

FizzingWhizzbee · 22/05/2018 10:01

Good job, pony and happy!

I slightly screwed up yesterday, when I found some of DD's chocolate in the fridge after a v. stressful toddler bedtime, but I think only really came in at maintenance calories. As a result I'm not feeling quite so optimistic today, but at least I was flat on yesterday's weight, so not too much damage done. Average is holding steady at the same as last week too, so hopefully if I can put in a couple of good days, that will drop.

QuimReaper · 22/05/2018 10:41

Well done pony! And Gower, so close!

Therealjudgejudy · 22/05/2018 11:12

Hi ladies.

Am well and truly paused off...weighed at the gym this morning and I'm 2lbs up.
Like wtf?!

I've a week and a half till holidays to loose it. No bread for judge judy..

Hoolahoophop · 22/05/2018 12:03

My cheating by no weigh in yesterday worked. Down 1lb to 122.8 today. You.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/05/2018 12:38

Hello! I won't bore you all by telling you I tunked it on over a weekend in Spain. So back to the wagon for me today.

Well done to the losers!

I was ill yesterday and didn't log calories however I'm sure is was a small amount as I didn't manage to eat much. Just a few bites of chicken and rice, and then some sips of tomato soup.

Having my breakfast now (16/8) and it's scrambled egg on toast. I was supposed to break fast at 10am (I'm doing 10am-6pm) but didn't feel hungry, I will still stop eating at 6pm though purely to keep to a routine.

NaMajesty · 22/05/2018 12:48

DSis just asked if I would like some egg with my black pepper Grin

QuimReaper · 22/05/2018 13:22

That's my kinda pepper portion Nam! Grin

Aaaaah BOOP, another weekend, another mini break - oh to be you! I bet it was glorious, with tapas and sangria aplenty?

I'm just going to keep getting tubbier until the end of June and then do one of my mad blitzes and get back to square one. I'm resigned to it.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/05/2018 13:40

Oh it was marvellous! There was certainly tapas and crisp white wine in the sunshine. We did a fair bit of walking too. We also went to the Turkish style baths there which was one of the most amazing experiences ever! Loved it

Hoolahoophop · 22/05/2018 16:29

Sounds wonderful Boop. I'm very envious!

Had pizza for lunch. Naughty.

QuimReaper · 23/05/2018 11:04

I'm being taken away on a secret jaunt this weekend as a final birthday present! I am assured I won't need my passport so I doubt there'll be tapas, but white wine and at least a bit of sun is on the cards - pretty solidly over 20 all weekend so I'll take that Grin I don't know where we're going, but I do know I have a load of random oranges in the fridge, so I plan to make orange and cranberry muffins to take with me, which will have the bonus of using up the eight million frozen cranberries which I've had in the freezer since the dawn of time.

I'm hoping for a miraculous STS this week. Tomorrow will tell...

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2018 12:48

Ooo Quim how lovely. I love a surprise jaunt. Have a lovely time

OP posts:
Hoolahoophop · 23/05/2018 12:56

Oh exciting Quim.....not sure if Im referring to the surprise him or the muffins though. Grin

Twixes · 23/05/2018 13:02

Nice one Quim I totally need a jaunt away. I'm going to have to make do with getting a landscaper in to do some work in the garden instead. He should be finished on Friday which means we can enjoy it for the weekend :)

Stood on the scales this morning and things are looking promising, down 1/2 a Linda. Strict eating regime for today and tomorrow with a bit of exercise thrown in and I should be on target for Friday. Woohoo

FizzingWhizzbee · 23/05/2018 13:34

Well, that does sound lovely, Quim! I wish I had such exciting plans for the BH. Unfortunately, we will be having a second attempt at toilet training DD. I'm hoping the lovely weather means we can spend most of it in the garden, so all I have to do to clean up the inevitable accidents is hose down DD's legs the patio. I expect much wine to be drunk in the evenings!

I was 12st 8 again this morning. Hoping for a bit better tomorrow. I really want my average this week to be 12st 7 something, which is really realistic if I keep it together.
