Hi everyone

Weigh in today and I've lost 3 lbs. Not wonderful but its ok.

Sorry I'm too tired to read back on everything today but will post properly tomorrow.

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 19/01/2010 05:45

Northernmonkey- oh no! You poor thing!! I hope you're not in too much pain and that it heals quickly. Am sending 'must not comfort eat' thoughts your way- it must me very difficult not to right now!

LittleMissB- congratulations on selling your house- wow 4 weeks is really quick. Semi permanent makeup sounds good (and brave!)

pollywollydoodle- well done, sounds like your treat a day plan is working (and, of course, maintainable)

MPD- don't be disheartened by H + M- the mirrors are definately not quite right! I always think I look awful there and my suspisions were confirmed when I saw a young, slim girl storm out looking tearful. Her other half asked what was wrong and she said 'oh nothing, just that I'm fat and ugly!'

mummymels- 3lb certainly sounds good to me!

Well I've done ok food wise over the weekend although haven't had much exercise. Hoping the weather will be ok today for a good long walk.

Have a good week everyone!

LittleMissBliss · 19/01/2010 17:59

wishing you a speedy recovery NM.

mummymels · 19/01/2010 19:45

Ooh quiet in here today. How are everyone doing?

I still feel really tired for some reason. I'm going to have my Go Lower beef chilli this evening with a peppermint tea afterwards and an early night.

Have a good evening everyone.

questions2008 · 20/01/2010 01:29

hi all, sorry haven't had time to keep up last few days. been a bit manic and a couple of evenings i feel like i've been picking on lots of things, but hoping that ive counted everything and i'm still within my points. i weighed in yesterday on my (dodgy) scales and it looks like another downward movement, i think another kg, so that's ok.

but i really feel like i'm in control most of the time which is the most important thing at the moment, as otherwise i intentionally go out of my way to eat really bad things like a big bar of chocolate etc. either to cheer myself up or also i think well if i'm fat then i'm going to be REALLY fat, which is crazy i know...! so anyway, control is good and i really feel unrestricted on WW at the moment as i have so many points i manage to eat mostly loads of good things and have a little dessert at the end of the day too.

but i still haven't managed any exercise yet. so same goal for this week

ooh i had grilled salmon and a jacket potato with lots of steamed veggies for dinner and a WW dessert. yum.

questions2008 · 20/01/2010 01:30

oh no NM just read your post, that sounds painful! so sorry!

mummymels · 21/01/2010 00:27

questions - you sound really focused and your dinner sounds lovely.

kkey21 · 21/01/2010 13:13

Hi ladies-i am back after surgery!

Had my tummy tuk on 11th and now recovering! Thanks to all the fluid i weight lots more-but i knew that! My tummy although swollen is fab already!

Will be back more when all recovered to catch up properly as can't stand/sit at the computer for too long!

Good luck and well done to you all.x

mummymels · 21/01/2010 18:14

Hope you have a speedy recoery kkey.

misspollysdolly · 21/01/2010 19:23

Gah! Weight Watchers tonight and I...............stayed the fecking same! Gah!

Oh well, back on the horse and hoping for a better week ahead.

Hope your weeks are going well. MPD

mummymels · 22/01/2010 02:35

misspollysdolly - you didn't put on so don't worry about it and hopefully this week it will all catch up on you and you will have a nice big loss/

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 22/01/2010 23:20

Well done kkey, hope you're back to (new and improved ) normal soon!

All still going well here- I still haven't had chance to weigh myself but I'm feeling a bit slimmer so that's good.

Good luck for next weigh in MPD!

mummymels · 25/01/2010 07:32

Paranoid - Good luck for weigh in.

I am on here early today so I've not done my Monday weigh in yet so I will post that later today or tomorrow when I've done it.

Just eating my granola breakfast, today with yoghurt and some raspberries mixed in before the kids are up and the house turns manic.

LittleMissBliss · 27/01/2010 15:07

Haven't been on much as it's been a little crazy at home trying to work through the sale, and dithering over the house that we like.

I lost NADA this week not surprised and been eatting allot of rubbish on the go and eatting when I can. Oh well Goal for this week is 2lb so that i can at leat say i've lost 7lb this month.

mummymels · 27/01/2010 21:32

LittleMissBliss - Hope you complete soon on the sale. Next week is another week and I am sure you will meet your mini goal.

I'm not feeling 100% as had a minor operation on Monday. Having said that, being on Go Lower has been perfect as I have my package of food already delivered to me so no trying to cook myself. Watching DH attempt to cook for the kids has made me thankful for my ready delivered food!

mummymels · 02/02/2010 20:56

It's been quiet on here. Hows everyone doing?

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 06/02/2010 20:40

Hey, hope everyone's ok. I'm still going with the diet- have only had 2 treats since I started so feel pleased about that. One left before end Feb!

Have found it harder to have laptop time recently as have been doing night feeds in ds's room instead of the lounge (in an attempt to make him sleep better at night )

Definately feeling slimmer and have had several comments...still not brave enough to try on the pre-pregnancy clothes though!

Hope everyone is keeping at it and staying positive

mummymels · 12/02/2010 01:01

Hi Paranoid, hope DS is sleeping better now

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 13/02/2010 19:31

Thanks mummymels- unfortunately he is much the same! Although last night he went from 7.30-2.30 which is unheard of - however, poor little mite was lying in a big pool of sick so I think he's not well

How are you? How's the diet going?

I had my 3rd and final treat today- no more now until the end of the month!

mummymels · 17/02/2010 02:47

Oh no poor baby. I hope he is better soon. My DS had a stomach upset last week too and I have heard it is doing the rounds.

Good idea allowing yourself a set amount of treats a month. That must make it a bit easier.

Diet going really well thanks. I'm going to be making my own meals soon too which I'm looking forward to as I've read about so many lovely low carb recipes on here.
