Haha! Hi 😃

Morning everyone! I'm not far from Manchester (Warrington) though Welsh and work in Wales. On that topic I'm praying that I'll be able to see my partner soon as he's in Wales and they have the blasted 5 mile travel restriction in place! We can't even utilise the social bubble though both qualify...

Food-wise sticking to my cals (just) but feeling it's going so slowly and have had done very weak moments...Going to keep at it though as I couldn't bear to see the scales going up again. 10 pounds to date so it is working!

Hope everyone has a good week 😊

Morning all!

Had a fairly ok week then we got to the weekend ... there was pizza, brownie, Pringles, gin and a curry

Somehow I’ve still managed to lose a lb this morning. Will be a very good girl this week

Hope you’re all ok!

Ooh pizza and curry!
Sounds like a good time.
I made Eton mess cake ... purportedly for Father’s Day and left it at my parents house but did have a couple of slices. Never mind.
Desperately drinking water to try and flush the toxins out now!
Does anyone manage to be good at the weekend ??

All this 'naughty' food sounds wonderful! 🤣 Would love some Eton mess (favourite).
I've been eating healthily but am creeping over the MFP calories.... Only by say 50 or so, but I know for me that it's a slippery slope...Will be very cross if I STS on Thursday again, so hoping to pull it back. I've got my This Works self tanner ready and waiting and would like to be able to squeeze into my summer dresses without feeling I have to sling a jacket/the dreaded cardigan on top!

Oh Diege i cannot tell you how good the Eton mess was. And then to have it in a cake! My boyfriend has the leftover Eton mess - I put all the stuff in a bowl for him in the morning when I was icing and he said he’d have it later. Two minutes later he’s hoovering Eton mess while I’m still trying to add the strawberries!
Homemade meringue was def a good shout - l might try and do a meringue with a sweetener and then it’s basically calorie free!
50 calories seems all right ! Surely your deciding is in the hundreds? I worry when I go more than 200 over (but then I don’t lose very fast)

Queen homemade meringue too! I do a lot of baking but meringues scare me!
Yes, you'd think a couple of rich teas wouldn't affect my weight loss too much, but I've noticed a definite slow down since I hit my mid-50s (50 now). I'm determined to push on - Peri- menopause sucks! 🤣

Hit my mid-40s that should say! 🤣

How annoying. Mine has vastly slowed since my 20s. I dread to think what I’ll look like in another ten years.
Meringue is alright as long as you don’t try to hand whisk it. Not such a good arm workout tho. They leaked a tiny bit but who cares, still tasted nice.

Delicious sounding cakes!! I had a cheeky weigh in this am and am down half a lb, so need another half lb off by Thursday to get back to target. Possible? Been starving today, having an early dinner as stomach is hurting. Going for a run later on when it cools down a bit.

Woohoo!
Half a pound is easy. Lots of green tea.

Here’s the cake... I miss it so much ...

I think the earlier you have dinner as well, the lighter you’ll be tomorrow ..:

Bloody hell that cake looks amazing! 🤣🤣🤣x Are they white chocolate flakes on the top?

That looks lush!!

I've been for a run. I'm exhausted!! It's the heat I think.

Nah it’s meringue on top

I’m not surprised owlina - I’m dreading my run tomorrow. It’s still boiling at 8pm then? Well done for getting through it!

I was sweating buckets! Must have burned that half lb off surely!!

Definitely. I usually lose half to a pound on a run. Just have to weigh in quick before drinking anything ...

That cake looks amazing!

I'm just hoping the damage isn't too bad this week... I've spent the last 3 days eating way too much 🙈

Weight in tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed here... Want that half lb off!!

2 pounds off for me! Very pleased and just 2 pounds to go now until a stone off😅
Good luck to everyone!

Amazing Diege! Well done 😃 it seems you've given me those 2lbs!! 🙈🙈🙈😆 I'd best get my head down this week!!

Oh wow that cake has me drooling!

Bah. One lb on for me. Not surprised tho as exercise has been down and snacking has been up!

@diege Well done!!

Well done diege!

I daren't weigh myself. Too much cream.

Half off for me today. Pleased with that. Nearly died during my workout this morning, far too hot for my liking!

That's amazing @diege!

Your cake is a thing of beauty @Queenoftheashes 🤤
