    The exact thing happened to me. My first week I lost then the second week I stayed the same and I couldn't work out why. I weighed the next day (Tuesday) and had lost 2.5lbs. I changed my weigh in day then as I thought my body needed an extra day to get over the weekend. It seems to be working.

    Shove Tuesday

    You don't need to wait until then to have a pancake. They are a frequent dinner in our house as the kids love them. They get all excited and set the table with all the toppings in the middle; golden syrup, jam, lemon, butter, chocolate spread, fruit. I can usually resist and have just...

    Off to Butlins in the morning!!

    Have a great time x I went to Butlins for the very first time last year on an 80's weekend. We had a brilliant time, but I must admit, it was a bit of an eye opener :eek::eek: I would have loved to have known how many people went home having done something they wished they hadn't!!!! hahahaha

    Margery Dawe's Thoughts, Feelings and Journey

    I'm pleased to report that DS is back home safe and sound. He really enjoyed his week away but is pleased to be home. He especially enjoyed opening his 18th birthday presents :D I've had a good day today and started it off with doing my exercise DVD first thing, which set me up lovely for...

    Margery Dawe's Thoughts, Feelings and Journey

    Well, after leaving the house at 8.00am this morning, I have just got in!! Wednesdays is college day which involves me going to work at 8.00am, leaving there at 12pm getting to college at 1.00pm and finishing at 8.00pm. It's a long day but the hardest thing is trying to fit food in. When I am...

    Red Days Red Day Virgin!!!

    Thanks girls for the advice. I've ready your diary Elle and have got some great ideas. :thankyou: When you make the sw quiche's, would you snack on these at some point during the day if you were hungry, or would you just have them at lunch? I've had a great day and loads of food. It's...

    Margery Dawe's Thoughts, Feelings and Journey

    Tuesday 8th February My God, I haven't written here for a long time!!!!! Right, I will try and put something here everyday ........ even if it's only one line. So far my journey has been a slow one and I don't know why. I'm averaging around 1/2lb a week, which is too slow for me and...

    ASBO's abolished...

    CrimBo ..... :D:D It never ceases to amaze me on how much money the government wastes on bring in new initiatives and then a few years down the line, when they realise they are not working, they change it to something else, which will also not work and so on and so on!!! I heard on the...

    Red Days Red Day Virgin!!!

    Since I started SW in November I have always done EE which up to a point I have found easy. But, my weight loss has been very slow (average 1/2lb a week) and I know that I can lose weight quicker than this and I just wonder if somehow I am not doing it right and/or it doesn't agree with me. My...

    Monday weigh in

    A STS for me. May be due to all the exercise, but I'm not going to let it worry me. It will show next week ........ hopefully!!!

    which items have you kept?????/

    I've kept a pair of black work trousers that I brought from Matalan. My hubby took me just after we got back from holiday to get some more work clothes and I took a bundle of size 18's into the changing room and none of them fitted, they looked awful. I could only manage to make myself buy one...

    NSVs - Non Scale Victories

    That's amazing, well done :D

    Monday weigh in

    I can see the logic in it though. If I got weighed on a Thursday, I could quite easily think I could be not so good at the weekend as I had the whole week to make up for it! I've been really good this weekend. I had a stir-fry on Friday, I went out for a meal at a friends on Saturday and...

    Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD

    Firstly, well done for giving it a go. I have just completed day 3 today and my legs are killing!!! The best thing you can do if you find jumping jacks painful, is to just adapt the exercise. Instead of jumping, step out to the side with one foot and raise and clap your hands above your...

    Beef casserole with 1 dumpling and sweet potato mash. Gorgeous.

    own up....

    There's nothing at all wrong with buying chocolate. As others have said they are only 5.5 syns, so treat yourself and have one. But, that's if you feel confident enough to just have the one. I know that some people know that once they have one, they will carry on until they are all gone.

    My new puppy!!

    Are you going to turn into one of those 'Mad Cat Women' :D I think you'll find you'll have to push them around in a pushchair with lots of bags hanging off it!!!

    Monday weigh in

    I wish it was Monday today. Feel like I've shrunk (which I do most Fridays) but by the time it gets to Monday and the weekend has happened, I don't feels so 'slim'!! Right, that's it, a really, really good weekend is coming my way!!!

    Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!

    Well done for resisting. :D I would have no trouble though, I've only ever had one and it was horrible. I only have to think about them and I feel sick!!!
  245. Margery Dawe

    Upset and down......

    Oh lovey, big hugs coming your way. I would be just the same as you, although I'm nowhere as close to my mum as you are (relationship wise), I would still find it so hard to say goodbye. Get ready for a couple of cr@p weeks and give yourself time to come to terms with it. xxx

    My new puppy!!

    I know what you mean about timing. We were thinking of getting a puppy 2 years ago, but our other dog, Bob (11yrs) had to have his front leg amputated as he had a tumour, so it was not the right time then and we have just been waiting to feel that it's the right time. Finally, we came to...
