Special K Tigger? You have fallen for the advertising.

Corn Flakes are lower in calories.

He's 27 months Wendilla. I put on 4st during the pregnancy, the heaviest I've ever been. Took me around 10 to shift 3st of that. I'm trying to get back to what I was before the pregnancy.

I find cornflakes boring Hop. I have the Special K with oats & honey.

It has flown by far too quickly. Have to start thinking about schools soon and I'm dreading it.

i am so disappointed with myself,i put on a lb.this week and its my own fault for cheating,i will have to stick to the diet this week,i wasnt eating half the stuff i was supposed to eat and eating something differant(blast)rant over...

[xstitcher]

Oh dear Slinky, It's the naughty step for you. I hope it goes better for you next week, but it's a step in the right direction to come and tell us about your "sin". Even though we haven't a clue who we all are it isn't easy. Onwards and downwards....

[Maydup]

Its a good day today. It was pouring with rain this morning so I pulled on my jeans which I hadn't worn for a few weeks now and instead of that just washed tightness, they were baggy. What a great feeling. And yesterday some one complimented me on looking slimmer, so things are really begining to move.

The question is, do I buy new jeans of wait a bit longer for the next size down? I think I'll wait until say October and go for the size I am then as I have a few other things I can wear in the meantime, but a nice dilemma to have!

I still have a long way to go, but I feel inspred today to keep going Onward and Downward.

[wendilla]

Well done Maidup it's like wearing new clothes again when you start getting into the ones you had to put at the back of the wardrobe.
Slinky.kate I know the feeling well .I had a wake up call 2 weeks ago so I have to get back on track.Good luck for next week.

[slinky.kate]

[Hopkirk]

Actually you are looking pretty good anyway, Kate.

[slinky.kate]

thank you hopkirk,you made me feel better,your not so bad yourself.

[xstitcher]

Morning All,

Nothing up or down to report from here. hmmmmm. That gave me the push to start my exercises again, no heat or bad knee to use as an excuse anymore.

[wendilla]

Xstitcher you have managed to keep off the naughty step so that's a bonus. 2lb loss for me this week. That wake up call has done me the world of good. First half stone off now aiming for the other half. Onwards abd Downwards.

[Old_Geezer]

Wow, with the BH I almost missed this as being 'weigh in day' here. Apparently down 1½ lbs, but that does measure from a particularly high jump up in the reading last Wednesday. Still good to see anyway. And "Well done", to those who've not gained over the last week too.

[xstitcher]

Well done OG and Wendilla. You both seem to have got a hold of the right end of the stick. Hopefully more good news will filter in during the day.......

[Jan1957]

2lb on for me this week but not much of a surprise and just glad it wasn't more. I enjoyed my curry and the drinks on my birthday and will now have to work hard this coming week to lose it again. Extra wobbling will be done! Well done all those who have lost.

[Kacee]

Morning all. 1lb for me this week so very pleased. :) I think that reporting to you all on here really helps, so thank you!

[Marijn]

Well done Wendilla, OG and Kacee!!! I lost half a pound last week, and this week put on two pounds. I don't know why. I have had a piece of cake this week and a packet of Randoms yesterday, but nothing else to explain the weight gain. I'm very annoyed :-(

[Smowball]

Oooh just found this - can I join??
