General Chit Chat!

The scales are not budging, hence no post in the weigh-in thread! I haven't eaten any 'bad' foods so I guess I must be eating too much of other stuff thats healthy but obviously got calories in it! Lacking in motivation at the moment...at least when you do a fad diet the weight comes off (even if it goes back on when you stop), I know its going to take time but I'm fed up already! Being in the house cos its raining so heavy doesn't help either!!! Sorry for being miserable today!!!

Well I had a "bad" weekend - really good foodwise but overdid the alcohol a bit again!!! This guy is a bad influence!! Anyway weighed myself this morning (unlike last week) and I think I've stayed the same which is a bit of a downer as I did really well foodwise last week. Just going to have to make more of an effort this week.

Good luck with the exam and Happy Birthday Irnbru

looks like we are all having small wobbles - but hey I don't feel so bad that it's not just me - hey maybe this week will be a great week for us all

Thanks Stella

I have lost this week - 3lbs - just can't update the ticker!!

Have a great week everyone!!

3lbs that's fantastic - well done Stella - only 5 lbs to go

I dont know how I've done it to be honest the amount I've drunk this weekend - still it was also date number three with the blind date so .............. thats my excuse anyway

Forgot to say earlier, Happy birthday Irnbru.

Hope you have a great day!

Well done Stella on your loss!!

Starbuck, i love the idea of 5lb = , i am going to do it too!!

Thanks everyone - as I said Im unsure how I've done it - I was really "good" foodwise but drinks wise I thought it might cancel it out. I am determined this week though - its his birthday at the weekend and I get to meet all of his friends so I just need a bit of a confidence boost!!

By the way Flax and Starbuck I love your 5lb smilies and I hope to see many more in the future!!!

Hows everyone doing today? feeling like i've been trapped in the house for days thanks to the terrible weather were having. Torrential rain on and off for days now.

Bit down beacuse I looked at the scales this morning (my bad I know!) I was up by 3 pounds, hoping it's just water and daily fluctuations and everything.

Hope everyone else is ok?

Hi Starbuck - slapped wrist for weighing in not on a Sunday lol. It probably is just water retention / daily fluctuation - I wouldnt worry about it (says the person who was sulking for a week!!)

I'm doing well so far today - I've had breakfast and I'm gradually getting through the 2L.

hey Starbuck I am not gonna say a word about leaping onto scales lol (I am resisting the urge as we speak)

I need to get my housework up to date soon, as i just let it pile up the last day or two (because of the revision) - so will have to pick up the pieces now - was considering the gym but am just drained - I always get a dodgy stomach and nausea the night before my graded units so just want to curl up into a ball at the moment and recharge my batteries a bit.

I have not managed my water at all yet - but got a good few hours of the day left so still time yet

I'm exactly the same as you starbuck - how spooky!!!
Feeling down as went to Asda/Tesco/Matalan/Next and did not find any clothes! Hated my reflection and everything was fitted wrongly for me (if you know what I mean), pulled or was loose in the most unflattering places! Could not even find a pair of sandals in Clarks that didn't hurt my feet!!! Not happy....of course I may just not have been in a shopping mood due to the scales not budging, the awful rain and the bottle of wine I drank and food I ate last night to console myself at the scales not budging!!! Why oh why do we do this to ourselves?????

4angels I know what you mean about clothes not fitting you properly. I've tried on loads of old stuff out of my wardrobe that now fit but there either too big on the bum or too tight round the tummy even though they fit round my hips.

Try and look on the bright side, at least we are trying to do something about it.

We are awful good at being hard on ourselves 4 angels it's madness really - we should try and be kinder to ourselves.

I'm in a really positive mood today so I will share it out among you - all take some and feel better - take as much as you need

I forgot to say that it was only out of desperation that I went shopping for clothes as wanted a few new tops for my hols as everything else is really tatty, but if the weather carries on like this I'll only need jeans and wellies anyway!! Good old holidays in the UK eh?!!!!

Oh well, try somewhere else next week...maybe I might feel more like shopping the and the mirrors might be kinder

Aww Stella - so kind to share your motivation - I need a bit of mojo - hopefully mine will return tomorrow. I feel that i have been so inactive the last two days need to get back to normal

how's everyone today? im just back from usual session at gym and pool; hope you had a nice birthday irnbru, didn't realise when it was, i'm not very good at remembering birthdays!! so belated many happy returns!

Hi everyone - I'm having quite a good food week this week although I am out for a meal tonight - but I resisted temptation last time and I will again!

I kind of dropped all the stuff I usually juggle and am finding it difficult to get up to full speed again- I need to get myself all organised and running like clockwork again - it's the only way i can fit everything in - the more I stray off that path the harder I find it to fight temptation - so set tomorrow as "Back to normal day" so tonight I will get all my ducks in a row

hi stella, that's great, glad you're having a good week
hope you enjoy your meal tonight, what sort of meal is it, chinese?, indian? italian? hope you have a nice evening!
be sure to tell us about it tomorrow
im getting hungry now, we're having jacket potatoes tonight, mmm!!

It was just your normal pub grub meal but I enjoy catching up with my mum and she enjoys it so....... I had steak and chips but as I've said in another thread I ate literally one chip - I just didnt want them!! I enjoyed the steak tomato and mushroom and just didnt want the chips!!

I'm lucky that I don't really like chips, i'll have a few in mcdonalds maybe or from the chip shop but never any oven chips and never a whole packet. I'm not to keen on potatoes in general, whilst hubby loves all potato products and could eat them forever.
