Saturday I spent 3 hours down the lotty digging/weeding. I didn't quite manage a beer-free week, but I haven't done badly on that score. I'm anticipating a 2-3 lb loss this week. I just have to manage tonight without beer!!

This coming weekend we're off on a scooter rally, which will involve drinking lots of beer. Perhaps if I don't eat I'll be okay!!!

Can you remove my pound please Donna

I need my pound removing as im back to square one. Im giving SW til the end of the month and then im off to WW. Ive been good and then got weighed on Tuesday and was told i was a pound heavier - How does that work?
Even my fat club leader looked a bit shocked as on her recommendation i'd started to fill my sheets in again and when she looked at them they were fine.
Me thinks the SW diet may not be working for me as also i found out via my mummy this morning that one of her friends had left because after going for 3 years, yes you read right 3 YEARS, she hadnt even lost a stone. Shes now a member of WW but as she has only just joined i dont think she comment on any weight loss just yet.

All i can say is bugger bugger bollocks bugger again!!!!!!

Blooming Marvellous ...

After just having been reminded (in the comments, by Tony) exactly how much I ate last Tuesday, I'd just like to suggest that it's a fucking miracle I lost weight last week!!!

Not so bad after all ...

I lost ½ pound. I felt like I'd been very lucky. Then I heard from Fi that she'd been good all bar one day and had put a pound on and I felt even luckier. Then I re-read my last post and thought, actually if you ignored the alcohol (for a moment), the only bad things were the 2 meals on Tuesday. And, I skipped a couple of meals (which I know you're not really supposed to do, but it's a way of making up for any naughties). I don't snack between meals (well except from the occasions I missed my meals ... Ah! That's why you shouldn't skip meals ... ping ... the penny dropped).

Now, especially for you - this week I won't make you ignore the alcohol - cos I'm not gonna have any (except for Friday night - cos you have to have a night off).

So tell me please. If you'd eaten what I ate this week, would you consider that good, a bit bad, bad, or really bad. Yes, really - I want your opinion (that's assuming any one at all is reading).

And Fi, it sucks you didn't lose. But sometimes it does take 2 weeks to show, so like you said, keep it up til the end of the month, you might lose double this coming week!! And if you don't, convert over to WW with me. My friend Debs has just lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks, so it's not just me.

Could do better ...

It's weigh in day tomorrow and I'm wondering how I've done and how Fi's done this week. I feel like I haven't really been good enough - I've not done any really bad food things*, and I resisted pudding when all of the kids and Andy all had delicious puddings when we were staying in Southport Thursday night. I'm thinking about writing down what I've eaten starting tomorrow AND cutting down on the alcohol again. I've drunk LOADS this week.

Oh hell, why wait til tomorrow, I think I can probably remember what I had this week:

Tuesday - weigh in - only ½ pound on - hurrah!! Went to London for the day with the lads from work and drank a tonne and had two meals out. 1st meal I had Lasagne. 2nd meal Nachos. Could I have made worse choices? (you don't have to answer that)
Wednesday - back to work for a day - Rice Crispies for breakfast. Went home for salad for lunch, had homemade (good) Shepherd's pie (or Cottage Pie to be correct about it) for tea
Thurs - went to Southport - Rice Crispies for breakfast, roll for lunch (actually 2, tuna/mayo), and a banana. For dinner I had grilled Chicken with a Red Wine sauce and Dauphine potatoes (but I didn't eat them all). Plus I had several pints, but NO DESSERT :)
Fri - eat all u can breakfast, but I didn't, I showed restraint. The kids had a sandwich for lunch, I had a banana. For tea I had jacket potato with cottage cheese. Then I went out to the Northern Soul do I'd put on at the club and drank a skinful!
Sat - Rice Crispies, skipped lunch, had cucumber and (very bad but my absolute fave) McLelland's Seriously Strong Cheddar for afternoon snack. For tea we had Chicken Fajitas (pretty good, made by my fair hand) with lots of salad. And a bottle of wine (between us).
Sun - Rice Crispies, hours of gardening, chicken salad (with left-over refried beans), skipped tea, a skinful of beer (went to Jokers comedy club) then Ryvitas with cheese and marmite before bed.
Mon - Rice Crispies, Ham Salad, Chicken Risotto (good), Sugar Puffs for afters. No alcohol!!

So, basically, I've not done well this week. I resolve to do better.

* Well I didn't think I had, til I continued on to write down what I'd had.
