WHAT??? that's absolutely amazing, wtg both you and hubby, keep up the great work...most I have EVER lost in 1 week was 10lbs ...amazing what we can do when we try and you must have been so good this week...keep it up babe and let me know what you did cos I am sticking like mad right now (2st lost since feb I need to lose more quicker lol got a wedding to go to!!) and could do with some new ideas ...AMAZING!! REMEMBER THAT! xxx

Stunning loss, congratulations to you!!! You must be really fired up now to continue

OMG! Well done on such a massive loss.

Would it be possible for us all to move in with you cos whatever you're doing is working

WOW!! that is fantastic, you must be so proud of yourself!! Your hubby has done fantastic too, im amazed for you

I only wish i had some of your self dicipline....i gained a lb this week...i think it was that huge bar of dairy milk and the 2 whole tubes of prongles that helped tho lol....ahh well maybe this week lol

I definitely need to move in with you! It's my first week & I've only lost 1lb..better than a gain though I guess! xx

thank you everybody, as i said i think it is mainly water but i am still happy with it
If nothing else it has spurred me on for this week.
hubby is chuffed to he has left all meal planning up to me and keeps making me laugh by saying can i have.........
Ithink the world has gone mad today and have had the news on most of the day, I hope you are all safe and not caught up in the riot. I made my 17 yr old come home by 5 today as there are facebook rumours of trouble, i doubt it will amount to anything but you can never be too sure can you. The teen just thinks i am mad but he is home where i can see him.

Ihave used more sins today than normal as a treat but have stayed with in my limit, have had 3 jaffa cakes and not felt the urge to finish of the packet.

meals today:

B x6 cracker bread with ham and a dairylea light triangle (2.5 syns)

L boiled egg, peashoots, toms,cucumber,spring onions. Grapes

T pasta and bacon bake (speedsoup as sauce) cheese topped using
42g of low fat chedder per person, leafy salad.

S x3 jaffa cakes (7.5 syns)

only managed i lt of water today so will be busily drinking this evening !!
the speed soup made a lovely sauce for the pasta bake, the teen was very put out when he realised he had had it !!!

meal planning now for tomorrow, what to do with the chicken breast i have taken out so off to the recipie page x

Aww hope you feel better soon...doing the right thing writing it down, always helps if you see it in black and white, I think.
Take care and just remember how well you are doing ...still can't get over your amazing loss xx

Don't you just hate that, it always happens when I do long posts, so I usually cut and copy now so that iF it does go t*ts up, at least I can reinstate the page or sign in again, why does it sign you out if you spend more than a few minutes not doing anything or writing a long text?
Glad you're having a good day, I am a lot more positive this week too...hoping for a good loss next week, been putting on and taking off the same few pounds for weeks now..not good! lol
Have a great evening xx
