Sorry for the delay! Here's a shiny new question for Onwards & Downwards.

Here's a link to the previous one:

How is everyone getting on?

[Old_Geezer]

Thanks Spare Ed.

Been up & down this week. Ending up with 1.2 lbs up :-(
No idea why really.

[xstitcher]

Not well Ed. I'm not trying hard enough right now. I usually get more focus when the weather gets cooler. Thanks for asking.

Hello everyone. I am now three stone three pounds lighter than last November. It's coming of slow now though. Half a pound in two weeks

[Old_Geezer]

Good on you: or is that off you.

[Smowball]

That's brilliant bednobs!! I'm stuck - need to do something!

[xstitcher]

Well done you bedknobs...tell us more about what you're doing.

[bednobs]

well, it helps to be enormously fat in the first place. That ensures even small changes can make a difference.
I think going to fat club is the difference this time

[Old_Geezer]

This is not good. Starting the weekend up on last Saturday :-(

[xstitcher]

Oh OG. What perils you put yourself in!

[Old_Geezer]

Not been a good week for hitting targets. Nothing excessive but each day either one drink over, or once, I confess, a few squares of 85% chocolate over. But one does hope that over the week one's done enough not to hit the high intake weekend already behind. Have to see how it goes.

[Old_Geezer]

Three days of way over the top input and I drop 1.2 lbs ?!?!?
Bet it's back up again tomorrow: it likes to tease.

[xstitcher]

I was going to have a peek at the scales today and forgot hmmm. Don't count your chickens OG

[xstitcher]

Good morning all,

Not pleased with today's reading. Muggins here is entirely to blame and we'll leave it at that shall we.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh dear, just stayed the same then eh ?

My reading for today is more pleasing. Lost another 0.2 lbs over the last 24 hours, for a loss over the week of 1.6 lbs.

I think I have to view that in the context of having an unexpected gain that hadn't gone again by last Wednesday, but even taking that into consideration I'm still down a bit; which makes no sense when considering this last weekend.

[xstitcher]

Wow OG was it last weekend or a lost weekend!

[Old_Geezer]

It was 3 days long and an overconsumption of 70%.
I think it's hinting that I should have a pub lunch each day.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh dear. Bank Holiday and we go out for a change, end up at Chiquito's for the evening meal. Just looked up the nutritional information on what I ate. That meal alone was more than a day's intake goal ! And I have to burn it all off by Wednesday morning ! I was doing ok this week too, until this morning.

[Old_Geezer]

Actually, small correction. We shared the starter so it was just almost a day's worth on its own.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all,

I hope the scales didn't jump up and bite you today OG after your food orgie. I'm totally surprised that I've gone down 2 lbs and a bit. I didn't deserve to but there you are! Me happy!

[Old_Geezer]

Well done x. As for here, the picture is not so good. After being fairly good yesterday, over the last 24 hours my weight went up again anyway. Up a horrific 2.4 lbs over the week :-(
