Thank you ladies. I'm absolutely devastated. I think my body just gave in to the grief this evening as my miscarriage has started with a vengeance. I hadn't expected that and had decided to come to my mothers house 200 miles away for the weekend as I didn't want my very perceptive 5 yo to be...

I had my final ultrasound today. The doctor confirmed the loss - I have a d&c booked for Tuesday. I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck. I will check in from time to time to see how everyone is getting on.

Thank you Laura. I have another ultrasound tomorrow... I'll post am update.

Up a half.

Sorry ladies. It's been so crazy with work I haven't had a chance to get on to post or see how everyone is. Had my u/s this morning. Sac is measuring 17mm (6.5w) but is completely empty. No fetal bud even or yolk sac. They have referred me to early pregnancy unit in hospital for another scan...

Hannah - go ahead and add your name to the list: Laura 30th June Slinkyson 5th July Safia - 16th July Allimack - 10th August Mama - 17th October (don't actually have my date so this can change in 3 weeks at my scan Cai - 3rd October Rjg123 - 20th October Bunny - 29th October Missy - 14th...

Oh my god!! That was quick... I'm not last any more :D Hannah - congrats and you are very welcome. We are delighted to have you.

Maybe you will go late and have a baby born on Christmas Day ;)

I seem to be starving today! I've eaten a lot of fruit and tried to make good choices but have eaten 20 syns already. Need to incorporate more free foods into the day.

Ha ha ha. It never ends!!

Aw kez - that is just fantastic news :)

Glad you got antibiotics to take care of infection though.

Thanks. I can consider myself now officially pregnant ;) Good luck with the mountain lol

Got my hcg results from doc. He said they are bang in where he wants them and is very pleased :D

I had prune juice last time and it did the trick. Have awful constipation the last week. Have upped my water in take over the last few days and today (tmi) enormous amounts are passing. Still feel v bloated and uncomfortable though.

Right, that's me done for the evening. I'm back off to sleep - hopefully - as have a satisfied belly. It's only 1.49am but hae woken up half a dozen times already so on the last one decided to get something to eat and see if that helps me stay asleep. I am an insomniac who got treatment last...

Well done on the loss :D

Wow! Well done. Wish I was doing that pre-pregnancy let along during pregnancy. I'm not one of exercise admittedly. :(

Argh. That sounds pretty painful hon. Hope you manage some rest tonight - perhaps paracetamol, if you haven't already tried it? Hope dentist fixes you up in quick time. Not a nice ending to an otherwise fab day.

I must say I love the planning an prepping stage!! Anyone who know me would tell you I just love doing lists for events or occasions. Doing one for having the baby was one of my favourites - sad but true lol

Thank you safia. Was pleasantly surprised ;) Now I have the munchies and am sitting in bed having a Nutella spread sandwich - on whole meal of course ;)

Got weighed. Up 2. Not bad for first weigh in for 4 weeks.

Up 2. Not bad for first weigh in for 4 weeks

What about the little heat pack that you can get from chemist. You stick them on your back and they last 8 hrs or somethibg

And I'm last lol!! Can't believe it. I'm sure it will fly in.

Aw missy. Bless. You're such a gentle soul.

It never gets easier - especially if you have anxiety issues. Just take it a day at a time and don't worry about the what if's. Right now, you and baby are spot on - it really doesn't get better than that. Just try to go with it. Soon you will feel movement and will get comfort from that...

Missy - you are going to be scared for the remainder of the pregnancy. You have had your scan, baby is healthy and you are healthy. You honestly can't ask for more than that ;)

I have a pile I'm happy to send your way ;)

Lol. If you don't want to wait then start shouting it. Noone is going to bat an eyelid that you aren't 12 weeks yet. I had misunderstood and thought you wanted to wait till 12 weeks.

Yay missy. That's brilliant news. Can't wait to see pic. I'd say savour the moment and wait a few days - then you can tell everyone and there granny

Not looking forward to weighin tonight having missed previous 3 weeks due to work. Gulp. Have been very good since last Tuesday to minimise gain but I am expecting a whopper none the less.

Now that sounds like the perfect way to relax. I really wish I had a bath in my house :,(

Well, I have my next hcg beta test this evening, should have results for Wednesday morning. Hoping to see some good doubling every 36-48 hours (give or take). Not sure if I posted any of this already: I did another pregnancy test for comfort and the test was stronger than the control line so...

Wow! 5? :eek: I am scared about adding number two to the mix lol. And it's taken me five years to get there. That's fantastic though - fair dues to you.How long have you got now?

Hi all. Just a fly by. Didn't want to read and run. Hope everyone I have a good day. Welcome to our new members. Good luck for the upcoming scans. I'll take some time to catch up properly over the next day or two ;)

Wish it was a bh w/end here. Sigh. V jealous ;) Best if luck at your 12wk appt. Still have to choose my maternity hospital but am possibly going to arrange a homebirth instead.

Ha ha. Don't feel so bad now!

Wow! I've turned into a cranky b!tch today all of a sudden. Just let the hubby have it for everything he has (or hasn't done) that has been bothering me. I'm totally blaming the hormones.

I've added my details: Laura 30th June Slinky son 5th July Safia - 16th July Allimack - 10th August Mama - 17th Oct (don't actually have my date so this can change in 3 weeks at my scan) Bunny - 29th october Gemmalina - 19 January

Ah bonus. That's fantastic. Right way round and the placenta has moved. As my 5yr old would say, awesome.

Congratulations Slinky. That is absolutely fantastic news. Well done. Now you have to do something nice tonight to celebrate.

Ooooh - I do love a good story... My labour was uneventful but long - took 38hrs to deliver from waters breaking. Was out on pitocin as labour was not progressing - things soon sped up and had a big baby boy at the end of it.

Happy Friday ladies. Hope you are all having a good day ;)

I'm so glad to have found this thread. Thank you. Honestly ladies, you're all so welcoming and calm and patient.

I'm doing it off the iPhone app. Anyone else know how to multiquote that way?

Oh thanks safia - that has reassured me a bit. I just need to keep up the PMA.

Bah ha ha. No idea how to multi quite and I can never remember everyone's posts to respond in one big lump. He he.

They are Monday. Should have results for Wednesday. I hate not having symptoms. I do feel dog tired today though - hoping that's cos of healthy pregnancy and not just cos I have had a busy day in work and the anxiety about pregnancy. Lol.

Aw!!! I cannot wait for that stage :D I'm good. Just trying to patiently wait for my next lot of beta hcg to see how things are going. Trying not to stress about it - what will be will be, and all that. Fingers crossed I have a healthy little sticky bean.

Oooooh that's fantastic mama-b. best of luck with it. Hope you get good clear pics. When will you tell family?

I've done pretty well with plan since starting over on Tue. Went over a bit on Tue - about 5 syns so nothing to worry about. Yesterday as great and so far so good today. Dinner is ready at home - though cottage pie sounds very un-appealing right now to be honest and tomorrow is all planned...

Missy and CrazyK - best of luck with the scans next week. Can't wait to hear how you get on and make sure to post some pics? Very excited for you - hope you get good result and peace of mind afterwards ;)

Keeping fingers crossed for you that you won't have to go to injections. Other than that, all well with you and baby?

Hi Safia Did they give any indication why? What are the docs thinking it could be? How are you now? Must have been a shock.

Many thanks and well done pollyp!!

Had my first beta HCG Monday and result just came in, Doc said they were lower than expected at 236. Back next Monday for comparison bloods. I was 5w1d on day blood was drawn if going by LMP but as I have long cycles I suspect I was closer to 4w. Anyone else had lower than expected HCG?

Haven't been to class in 3 weeks due to work pressure - am back next Tuesday and am trying to get back on track ASAP. Looking for some extra support and thought linking in with all of you would be helpful ;)

Wow!! Everyone here is so welcoming. Loving it already!! So glad I found you all. Rach - looks like you will get more support here. Shame your consultant isn't much use - a good consultant makes all the difference.

Wow!! What an absolutely amazing weightloss. Congratulations! So happy for you that you had a natural pregnancy - that's such a fab result :D

Ha ha Laura - lets just say I usually start my day better than I end it. Updated to include my details: Laura - 30th June Slinky son around 5th July (will have confirmation next fri) Safia - 16th July Allimack - 10th August Mama - 17th Oct (don't actually have my date so this can change in 3...

Bah ha ha ha lol!! Love it!!

Thank you mama-bear. Wow - I'm sure you're house must be filled with lots of giggling and messing about. Looking forward to more of that - it can be so quiet when DS is out playing with friends or in bed for the evening.

Wow! Congratulations, that's fantastic. I'm on number 2. Have a five year old boy already.

Thanks safia. It will take me a while to catch up on everyone's stories. How far along are you?

Ladies - would you mind if I join your group? Just found out I am pregnant, waiting on Beta HCG results to confirm all looks well but in the meantime I am going to have a positive mental attitude and assume all is well and work on keeping my weight in check. Lost 3st with slimming work but over...

Morning All! Been ages since I have been on. Have been a bit unfocused so really need to get back here and utilise the support of the forum. Have still had losses - though how I really don't know as I have been pretty bad (thankfully not as bad as I was before SW). Anyway, am back and on track...

Oh my god. So not worth it!!!!!!! Thanks for that.

Any idea how many syns to allow for an average sized fruit scone? No butter or jam. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. Lost another 1lb this week. 2pm till my 2 stone. Hoping to do that next week!! Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone. Lost another 1lb this week. 2pm till my 2 stone. Hoping to do that next week!! Hope everyone is well.

Needed to go to class early this week. Am down 2.5lbs :)

I always weigh less first thing in the morning ;)

Wow!! Well done. Quite an achievement!

Have a great time cherry pie! So looking forward to finishing up work for the weekend in a few hours :) Not sure if I posted, but I got my club 10 this week at my weigh in. Right, lunch is almost over and back to work for me.

I got weighed in tonight as i can't make tomorrows class and am down 1.5lb. Got my club 10 so am well chuffed.

Hope everyone has a great weekend ;)

Down 2lb!! That's exactly 1st 7lb.

Ha ha ha! Maybe the consultant had the same idea ;)

Wow!

Well done on the STS cherry ;) I'm going to have a few drinks myself this weekend. A very close friend of the family died today - more like an aunt. Am devastated. So will drink a few in her honour. Debz - how u feeling now?

Good luck everyone on their weigh INS today! Well done to everyone who has lost weight. And for those who have had a gain - I hope this week is better for you.

Hi Gemini - you need to have posted 50 times first.

I think I'm missing out!! Never had a welsh cake before. Looks goooooooood! I was naughty this evening and weighed myself - i know I shouldn't but I do it from time to time. Well. Glad I did. Was feeling a bit peckish and desperately wanted some of one of my sons MANY easter eggs. I have...

Oh no Debz! When will they know for sure? Have you had this before?

Today is my last day in week for a whole week and a half! So excited. I'll be away for some of it for my Mam's 60th so will be a challenge. Wish me luck!

:( Damn them. They clearly don't get how essential minimins is! Lol. Shame you can't get on though.

I really hope so too - it's so hard to function properly with proper headaches.

Sounds nice. Am not a fan of sweet potato at all so will give this a go.

:( that's horrible. Are you getting enough fluids?

Thank you - I'm doing a happy dance. And that 1lb means so much to me. Odd. But it's keeping me very focused on staying 100%.

Well then I will be keeping fingers and toes crossed for you ;D

Welcome and well done for going before your holidays - was a hard but wise decision.

That's good about the exercises. I hope they help strengthen it up. Good luck at ur weigh in too tomorrow. Have u been on plan?

Best of luck weepy! Let us know how u get on.

Congrats on getting ur club 10! That's fab. My friend just got hers last week - seeing her get it really helped me knuckle down this week.

:( Oh no cherry. Hope you start to feel better soon. In work late this evening?

So glad it went well. Have you to go back?

And I just realised I am below 200lbs. Can't remember the last time my weight was one hundred and something (currently 199!!).

Thanks Debz. I feel very motivated.

Can't go to my class on Thursday as I will be away. Got weighed in tonight instead. Down 1lb since Thursday. I am chuffed. 3lb to go to my club 10.

Lol. Had the same breakfast and was planning the same dinner.

Well done!! It's so hard to get back on track.

Well done everyone! To anyone who felt disappointed this week - hope the coming week works out better.

Vert pleased with myself. Met a friend for lunch and stayed on plan. Phew! So have (so far!) been 100% today. Nice to be back on track - feel very guilt free.

Wow - really, please come to my house and cook :) LOL - you def sound creative. Where the hell do you get the time for all the things you do? Seriously, I need a few lessons.

All is well, thanks cherry pie. Was just in for a sleep study - sounds silly, but I'm a bit of an insomniac and haven't had a decent night of sleep in years. So saw a great sleep consultant who brought me in to be monitored over night. But it meant a lot of time in the hospital and as I wasn't...

4 more pounds till my club 10!

Hi everyone. Another mental week - never seem to have time to get on here. Just been weighed in. Dodged a bullet this week!! Despite being out for dinner on Sat and eating completely off plan for 2 days due to being in hospital, I am down 0.5lb (as in half a pound). Phew. Right, absolutely need...

Just been weighed in. Dodged a bullet this week!! Despite being out for dinner on Sat and eating completely off plan for 2 days due to being in hospital, I am down 0.5lb (as in half a pound). Phew. Right, absolutely need to be on plan this week!!!! Focus. Plan. Focus. Plan. Focus. Plan.

Thank you! I really need that - something to plan towards!!

Dear God - help me!!!!! I just am so unfocused the last two weeks. WI tonight :(

Happy Friday everyone!! It's a new week :D Have been very busy so haven't had a chance to post lately - I've been reading the updates and keeping up to date. I wanted to say congrats to every (especially ColJack - HUGE congrats to you!) who lost this week. And chin up and best of luck to...

I feel ur pain! But for yourself, you need to put the box down and step away. You'll be even more upset next week. ;) lots of hugs.

And my bmi is a full 3 points lower :D

This happens to my friend every second week like clockwork. Really big loss one week then either STS or small loss. Then big loss again the week after. Give it another 100% week and u will see the results.

Down 3lb. But I cheated. I took my shoes off at the scales and my shoes probably weigh about that much! So reckon this weight might have been a STS if I had left them on.

And best of luck with group membership.

Sorry ur moving - come back to visit occasionally with updates maybe?

I take one of those kicks please cherry. Have been beyond naughty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back on track yesterday and today though. I'm sure I'm up though - oh well! They can't have the one stone award back no matter what!!

Pls come to my house and cook for me!!

Down 1lb. That's 14.5lbs in total over the last 6 weeks and i am getting my stone award tonight ;) Happy days.

Can't believe it's WI Day already!! Where has the week gone?

It was a good day today :D Night all

So fell off the wagon!! Just wanted to admit it as was ashamed and wouldn't log on - so I didn't have to face up to it. Lol. Can't hide out for ever. Oh well. Back on track today. Have had 4 v bad days. Haven't had a chance to catch up on all the posts yet but hi to everyone.

1.5lb off for me this week. Frustratingly 0.5lb away from my 1st stone award. Had really wanted to get that this week. Oh well, will have to redouble my efforts.

1.5lb off for me. Frustratingly 0.5lb away from my 1st stone award

Soooooooooo bloated this morning. :( Just want to get to weigh in tonight. Nervous about whether or not I lost anything. Saturday was bad but rest of week was good. Hope it was good enough. Really had my heart set on my 1 stone award.

:( better luck for next week

Well done!!!!!!

Today is a classic example for me - feel very bloated and generally horrible today. I'll know tomorrow how I did this week. ;)

How was the rest if your night Debz?

Hi Debz Sending you really big hugs. Know that you're not alone tonight - you have all the support and good thoughts we can send you. Please don't give up on SW. You have the best motivation in the world to keep going - a baby of your own. Of course it's great news for your friend, but know...

Wow! Congrats everyone on the great losses :)

Did the doner kebabs tonight - really delicious! OH thought the meat was better than the stuff from the takeaway. :D

Really has me thinking

Thanks - I appreciate that. And am slowly changing bad habits (and not letting weight rule life). You don't see it at first and then you look back and think, "why have I let this happen?".

Fantastic!! Well done. Sounds like you have a really supportive group there.

I'm 31 and stopped going out about 8 years ago. I do miss going out with my friends. I feel dull and boring.

Oh my! Yum!!!! Want to do these at the weekend.

There are some brilliant suggestions here!!

SW has certainly been a real eye opener. For lunch today they had on "steamed brocolli" as one of the veg options. I got that with a JP, mixed peppers and pork (cut off the fat). Popped a piece of brocolli I my mouth and froze in horror. After steaming it they put butter on it! I don't think I...

I think I'll just have to give it a go chocaslim ;)

Cherrypie - I think I should let you suggest my dinners every day ;) Will give that a go tomorrow night I reckon. This is probably a daft question, but I can't fine extra lean pork mince. Is all pork mince extra lean or is it just that I'm unlucky in the shops I've tried?

Pizza base made out of smash? Ah, I've so much to learn.

I second that - have a 3 yr old and need to be able to keep up with him. He's getting more active as he gets older and I need to be the same.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's really just not us who needs to change our way of thinking about food - think the OH's need a class if their own!

Thanks purplesky - cooked SW style Kfc last night and it was delicious. He's thinking of pizza or burger and chips when he says takeaway - any idea how to order that kind of stuff without breaking the syns bank? To be honest - had my gallbladder out last year so all that is really out of the...

Well done lostgirl - that's a really great result.

Lol. My OH is like the devil sent to tempt me! He's asked me at least twice a week if I want to get takeaway for dinner - and always on days when I'm really tired and most likely to give in. I have resisted - but he doesn't get how hard he's making it for me. I've told him to just order in the...

Best of luck! It's the best choice you can make.

Genius idea! Love that suggestion!!!! I have to say, my first week my tummy was huge and my trousers were a good bit tighter, but I lost 5.5lbs so for me, I really couldn't guess.

I found I had loads of breadcrumbs and paste left over so will probably do that for dinner tonight - have everything I need there so why not make it as easy as possible for myself?

Welcome vitzy. I go to meetings but absolutely get more support and info here. I go to class with a friend which is the main reason i still go as I find it more rewarding going with her - we get to hang out without the kids and have a proper catch up. So wouldn't change that for the world. Our...

I did this tonight. It was so tasty.

:( So sorry to hear that Debz

Hi Aaliyah - welcome back!

Thanks for the suggestion cherry-pie. Had it tonight and it was soooooooooo tasty. My OH loved it and can't wait to have it again. The LO is much better now. Back to his normal cheeky self. He's quite the handful - as they all are at that stage I guess. That's great that you OH is doing SW...

Oooooh - I'm intrigued!! I'm up for the mini target.

The 9th April is my birthday so am sending you some birthday magic! Now you def have to succeed ;D

Well, now I DEF have to do it!!!!! Where did you get the recipe - was it on the site or in the magazine? I'm good - after a bit of a dodgy Saturday due to my 3yr old being as sick as a dog! Was back on track on Sunday and had been on plan the other days so am still hoping for a weight loss...

Woo hoo Wendy! That's fab!!

Woo hoo! Well done Wendy. That's a fab loss!

Best of luck Surzy and lostgirl!

Well done!!!!

Yum cherrypie! SW friendly kfc-style chicken sounds scrum!

Thanks dawnwynne and debsie. It seems it was a bad reaction to his antibiotic. He's much happier now that we have stopped it - on the docs instructions.

Thanks Debz - I'd be lost without the support here. It was a ling night. He woke constantly crying but never got sick. And he's kept fluids down this morning and even a few bites of toast. It seems it was an allergic reaction to his antibiotic. I was in such a rush last night I didn't even get...

Hi fellow Thursday weighers... Totally went off plan this afternoon. My son is sick and has been vomiting non stop all day. He literally can't keep a sip of water down - poor pet is only 3 so just doesn't know what's going on. Anyway, after nearly an hour drive to get to the out of hours doc...

Welcome back ;)

So sorry to hear that. Feeling better?

I can only just about thread a needle! Would love to be able to do that much.

I'm on extra easy and love it

Thanks s million. That's perfect.

Anyone know the syn value of a bag of Manhattan popcorn?

I'm not at all handy with a needle and thread :(

What a great first week. Well done.

Oh my god!!!! Big congrats!

It's never easy when feeling poorly. Just getting over a respiratory infection right now and it's so much harder to be motivated. Just want to say best of luck.

Oh - and I am getting close to fitting into a pair of trousers I bought about a year ago that were way to small (one of those ones that are your actually size but won't get near you - couldn't even get them up my thighs!). Anyway, now they close and everything but are just a bit to snug around...

I do mine daily and try to use them on "healthy" stuff to add to my meals rather than crisps or cake etc. I do enjoy a hifi bar from time to time - that's probably the only way I spend my syns that doesn't add something to my actual meals. Some days my syns are quite low, and others closer to...

My chin is slowly beginning to re-appear! And I don't ignore the mirror in the bathroom any more - used to hate going by it to get in the shower. Still not admiring of my form, but don't hate it as much as I used to. Plus feel more in control of my life as I am finally doing stuff about the...

Worth keeping in mind for the future - plus the food looks yummy so getting some ideas for dinner. ;)

Really good info! Very useful.

Ha ha - even better! Wouldn't mind finding a fiver in my pocket. No chance these days.

I'm finding my clothes are getting saggy and loose! It's brilliant. I put on a coat I haven't worn in ages and it was swimming on me :) Am well chuffed.

It really is quite a staggering amount!

Congrats Catherine. That's fab!

Congrats to everyone who lost and to those who gained - big hugs and best of luck for next WI.

Congratulations! That's fantastic news!

How'd you get on?

Well done everyone!!! That's a great start to the Thursday club

Lost another 2.5lbs tonight ;)

Down 2.5lbs!! That's 12lbs in total so far. Happy days!!!!!!!!!

It would have suited me so much better that way! Now this week is a short week and next week a long week!

You had me up to tuna.... shudder! LOL. 4 hour drive! How often do you have to do that?

I can't understand that either!

I have my wii fit in storage for that very reason!!!

Hi All I was diagnosed with PCOS and doc's told me I would need medication to get pregnant. Was very upset but we weren't ready to start a family yet. Anyway, 18 months later I got pregnant naturally! I had lost about 10/12lb in weight and that was it I guess. I was only having a period every...

Mumlisa - the weight gain is a step back but you have taken back control by going to class now. I'm not sure what the right words are - but I'm very proud of you for getting to your weigh in. Hope that doesn't sound too corny.

Well done Surzy!!!!!! Bellybegone - good idea about the food diary. It always helps me keep on track.

Glad you are getting back on track skinnydawn ;) I'm feeling a bit nervous. My usual weigh in has been moved from Thur to Wed as Thur is a national holiday here - St Patrick's Day. Will report how I got on after class tonight.

Doh! ha ha ha! I guess it was a silly question!

Probably a silly question, but what is HM veggie soup?

That's shocking! I can't believe that happened to you. It's just awful. They have robbed you of so much! I have never been in that situation so cannot even begin to imagine what you should do now. My instinct would be to try and get to class - the text to your C is a good idea so you don't...

Best of luck ;)

This was actually asked in our group by one of our members and the consultant said regardless of weight you only get 15 syns. But maybe it's one of those things that they generally don't discuss. I think, like you said, let your friend see how she gets on with 20 syns. She may not even need...

I've noticed the same thing myself. Have added veg to any of the recipes I have made.

Surzy, I hear ya! I think sometimes people don't know what to say to people who have a lot to loose. God forbid you should go to weigh in without preparing not to loose! (that makes more sense in my head ;D ) At least we all get it here and support each other wholeheartedly in every up and down...

I think this is the place for talking about it. Our weight isn't just because we eat but because we ear then upset etc. And all things related to weight loss or what affects it are welcome to be discussed. It's just been the natural progression of the conversation. Very sorry to hear about...

My partner was totally horrified when he found out what my bmi was!

Well done cherry-pie - i think the mindset is one of the most important things in trying to loose weight.

Oh my gosh skinnydawn - poor Sophie! That's so sad - I can understand delaying the inevitable. It's very hard to let go. I'm chuffed for your dad though - great news in on the front ;) Enjoy the cake and the wine then draw a line under it and start again tomorrow :D

Never were truer words said!!

Sorry to hear about your dad - hope he improves soon. Very sad about your dog being so ill. Is there anything the vet can do? Best of luck with the plan this week - u can only do so much!

Best of luck lostgirl! Hopefully it will all balance out ;)

I have my usual Thursday weigh-in this Wednesday. Anyone else? It's because it's St. Patrick's Day here in Ireland. Am actually excited to have it early this week as I want to see what (if any!!) I have lost :) however from next week will be back to Thursday again so will have an 8 day week...

Welcome and congrats :)

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. I would agree with the post above - am an emotional eater. Am still labouring under this respiratory infection and the first thing I want to do I have some junk! I don't have an appetite, bit junk still appeals?!? My behaviour def needs to be...

Bet u r extremely pleased.

Down 2.5! That's 9.5lb in 3 weeks. Am really pleased '

Congrats on the 6.5 loss!!! Well done.

Down 2.5! That's 9.5lb in 3 weeks. Am really pleased ;)'

Down 2.5! That's 9.5lb in 3 weeks. Am really pleased ;)

Evil scales. Booo! Best of luck tonight.

Yup - feel like that every week coming up to Thursday ;)

Had a bit of a ropy day yesterday. Am sick with a respiratory infection and staying on plan is the last thing I want to do. Wasn't too bad, but bad enough. Back on plan today. Am hoping to at least get to weigh in this evening - not up to staying to image therapy. Wish me luck.

Congrats Butt3r!! Well done.

Hey Ali - well done on the weight loss. It's going in the right direction at least. That's what matters.

Wow - all these losses have me a bit excited about tonight!

That's amazing - what a big amount in a short amount of time. Feeling very encouraged!

Wow!! That is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!

Well done Paula - great stuff getting your shiny ;) Enjoy your night out - hope it goes well.
