I did super express one week, kinda by accident, and lost 5.5lb which is by far my biggest weight loss. I was eating loads of strawberries, blueberries&grapes, salad with tuna and the superspeed soup. I was exercising loads that week too. Dont beat urself up worrying about ur holiday angeldel...

1.5lb is a great loss, i was hoping for a 3lb loss last week and managed a 1.5lb but i took it and ran with it, its 1.5lb well earned as it easily cud have gone in the opposite direction. I wouldnt cut out all syns, maybe try have 5 or so, incorporate them into food or something because u dont...

I will be out of the 15's in the next 6 weigh ins, end of. No discussion. End of september il be 14stone something and so help me god if im not ! I have had enough of this bouncing around up a pound, down a pound, the weight needs to go in one direction and one direction only!!! (Talking myself...

1.5lb off for me...wanted bigger but il take it :) Need to try be good this week everyday apart from my birthday on thursday and a night out on saturday in order to limit the damage!

Has anyone else found that they have no appetite with this heat at the minute?? I dont know if its the thought of actually cooking anything that is putting me off but im just off food completely. Which is good but not good at the same time as its probably messing up my metabolism....x

Well i can safely say i wont be at class this week !! Iv not stopped drinking and to a lesser extent eating since last wednesday...weddings, a visit home, a social life is definately a bad thing for a diet :) I started off trying to make healthier choices...so thats a little brownie point for...

Well done you losers :D im a loser too, 2.5lb off for me this week !!xx

2.5lb off, woohoo, one step closer to getting into the 14's !! Xx

Yeh chuffed at 2.5lb :) bethmaj - 10lbs (2 lost 8 to go) - walk for at least 30 minutes each day. Camplestar - 14lbs (0 lost 14 to go) - look good every day. darrenkaye - 12 lbs (3.5 lost 8.5 to go) - keep at it 100% every day! eiregal - 16lb (0 lost 16 to go) - walk for 40 mins each day...

Why dont u just go to a first meeting at an actual club, you can normally get offers like just paying the price of a class rather than the joining fee. Then ud get the book and the new joiners talk which might explain things abit better. Essentially if ur following extra easy-u have one...

Well im punishing myself for the muffins earlier by having a carton of melon and grapes for dinner...i say punishing, im not really, cuz im not really hungry and i also love melon plus it was a 65p whoopsie....WIN ! Not gona beat myself up to be fair-iv not had many syns this week and iv been...

Wish i was doing aswell as u jodieboo ! Iv just had another muffin, yes, ANOTHER muffin. Dammit, i didnt even want the first one, but being stuck in work i just lost it with willpower. Raging at myself cuz iv had really healthy food in work, all superspeed with a little bit of protein...but...

Yey ! 1.5lb off, brings me back into the 15's after my gain last week. Just. Phew ! Aiming big for next tuesday...superspeed here i come :) x

As a tuesday weigher temporarily weighing in on a wednesday im happy to have lost 1.5lb, 3.5lb to go for my stone. Gona superspeed like a b$#ch and keep my fingers crossed for next tuesday :) x

Wow...everyone has done BRILLIANTLY ! Massive massive congrats :) Back to tuesday weigh ins next week, gona have to up my game to stay up with the crowd ! X

Well done potato...and Lizzylis0....and everyone who did well so far this week either getting into the 15's or getting closer to getting out of the 15's and into the 14's !! Nervous for my weigh in, cant handle another gain if i get it, bad start to the week but pulled it back and have been...

Good luck all Tuesday weighers...may the scales be good to you ! X

Well done jodieboo and camplestar....tut tut !! We need a little blow out every now and again tho to get our asses in gear...u on target for a good week to shift it or have u a bad one?? X

Hi all, im gona come in with a challenge of 7lb. Have to weigh in thursday this week then back to tuesdays so im not counting this next weigh in as part of my 7lb. Hopefully this week will just be getting off what i gained last week! I do have a wedding and my neices birthday this month but im...

Hi ! If ur in the 14 stone bracket u shud look for the 14-13 stone thread for loads more support, but of course u can stay here and tell us all how frigging good it is to see a 14 something when u step on the scales to motivate us !! How long u been on sw for??x

Like the signature rhirhi93 - very true, unless ur a machine. Thats what im trying to keep in my head. Im a human, we have our weaknesses but my motto is very much slow and steady wins the race. Im definately one of those who has little losses, then a big loss then i put on big but overall im...

Im with tishi there with the 'in the grand scheme' picture. Sometimes u also need a little gain to make u motivated again so its good to see u totally planned out for the week. Im sure you'll knock 3lb off this week no bother if u stay on track :) Hows everyone else doing ? Damage limitation...

not got far to go sallyann, il be so very jealous when u move down the bracket :) Camplestar - 4 stone??? brilliant work !!! bet you feel so much better now. Ellenj79 - how u doing today? i wouldnt beat yourself up over 4 activia yoghurts, better than 4 chocolate bars but I know what you mean...

Ellen, i honestly dont know how to break it cuz i thought i had it under control ! Even with TOTM iv not been bad, for like 2 months, infact for some reason the only thing i think i was having more of was fizzy drinks. Thats why im so annoyed about it because i thought id turned a corner. Oh...

Wish I had 3.5lb losses when I struggle ! It's normally the other direction. Maybe have a wee week break from it, for like a week just eat sensibly without actually following plan or counting syns, just to have a little rest bite - you'll probably find u maintain still but sometimes I find it...

Slow and steady wins the race ! Well done, u must be chuffed :)

Brilliant !! Well done :)

I'm sure Potato will be joining us in the 15's very very soon :) and yoyonomore, come on girl, we have faith in u !!! Good luck x

Oh and just looking back over the last few posts I thought it was funny that all the last people to reply are all in the 15 stone bracket now but started in the 18's ....when I started my first serious attempt at dieting I was also in 18'er !!! Never want to go back there....EVER ! xx

Ellenj79 I literally was about to post exactly the same comment!! Well not about the kids tea (cuz I don't have any!) but I'm with you on the struggling. I put on 2.5lb at Thursday way in after my holiday even though i was spot on from the monday through to wednesday and thought well that's it...

we always want more dont we?! Thats why we're on a weight loss forum in the first place!! Just dont push urself so much that you dont see the little wins on ur journey. Good luck though, hope u get what u want next week. Im weighing in on thursday this week as i was away last week and wanted to...

Well done not_lar_croft ! Excellent start to the tuesday weighers :) Swgm- dont be so hard on yourself, 1.5lb off is brillinat, especially as u got ur 3stone award, thats huge in itself, such an a accomplishment! Remember, slow and steady win the race :) xx

I'm hoping I'm still in this stone bracket at next weigh in !! Last Monday-Neil young gig in London, then flew to Berlin Tuesday- Friday (lots of beer drunk, food wise=so so), then Saturday had a party for the boyfs birthday, again was the drink, not the food that will have caused damage. Few...

sorry to hear that, keep ur chin up. X

Im convinced not sleeping before wi affects you...I've been keepin track of this for a while as I always have a bad wi if I went to class straight after a nightshift. Two weeks ago I lost 5.5lb after following slimming world 100%, I was also on my days off. Gave me such a boost and thought I'm...

Im always a bag of nerves before wi's even when i know iv been brilliant but thats mainly cuz my body throws wobblys sometimes so even when iv been good and exercised i sometimes have a gain or sts. Im missing tuesday wi this week, gona go to another class my consultant runs on thursday since...

I managed to only put on 2lbs when i went to america for three weeks last year, and half of our trip was in Texas, everythings bigger in Texas, but i swam in the pools if i had a chance, ur walking round so much and i was also a little dweeby and used the gym in a few places, not enough to say i...

Dopelgangers jodieboo !! Lets hope i can keep up with u :)

Id say 16 on average. Being 5'7. But depending on different shops it varies greatly, still cant get into some size 18 jeans, making me 20 but iv got a few dresses that are 14 !! Go figure :) starting to feel amazing though knowing the weight in coming down and to me thats the biggy!!xx

Never expected to be here this week but with an astonishing (for me!) 5.5lb off this week im 15st 11.5lbs. The only time i remember being in the 15's is about two years ago at 15st 12lb so im ecstatic !! Hoping to get at least 2lb this week to get my stone, weighing in a day early due to going...

I do have to say i superspeeded alot last week and have exercised alot too. Was eating the superspeed soup nearly daily and in work i was trying to have little meals more frequently than just one big one, esp on nightshift so i think that helped. Give the soup ago tho, its very tasty !!x

Never imagined id be leaving this group this week but with a whopping 5.5lb off (pinch me, i must be dreaming!) Im down to 15st 11.5lbs !! My heart literally did a little flip :) Keep going ladies, come and join us in the 15's to 14's !!! X

Absolutely chuffed, 5.5lb off for me !!! NEVER have loses like that, got slimmer of the week plus moved into the 15's which i havent been in now for about 2years and i think i was half a pound heavier then than i am now! So chuffed, definately motivated me loads, feels sooooo good!! Well done...

On the plus side, diet wise, im not gona be able to afford to eat apart from next week so i shud lose weight!x

Typical, in the one month i dont need anymore bills etc, my car more or less breaks down today on the way home from the gym. Apparently it sounds like the ball bearings have gone in the front wheel, had to leave it with the garage so il hear the damage tomorrow, so much for planning and...

iv been at this class since the end of april, i think ! Iv missed a few weeks tho and iv never been a big loser, its always one or two pounds then if i have a gain its always mahoosive, like 4lb in a week or something stupid so im an overall slow loser. Iv averaged prob a pound a week but im...

Isnt it awful that that is the basis of all insults for bigger people. Its so cruel, not to mention completely unintelligent. What, like u cant come up with something other than the obvious eh? Just shows how small the peoples brains are who say such insults. But really at the end of the day, we...

Oh what i wouldnt give for a 9.5lb weight loss !! Well done you x

Thats why i dont own or go near scales other than the weekly class...it wud demotivate me if id been good and saw an increase. If uv been on plan uv prob not put on 2lb, good luck with it ! I know what u mean about time dragging until 7pm too...thats when my weigh in is aswell! X

Glad i found this, its good to see others in the same boat ! Iv had a few hard months recently with hen dos and stuff and got myself well to the bottom of my overdraft :( Very very bad at budgets but i sat down when i got paid and literally worked everything out that i needed to spend which...

Wow, i showed some massive discipline there tonight, in work on nights which is depressing enough in this glorious weather, but im also coming onto my star week soon so im craving 'bad food' really badly-went over to asda to get some juice and a loaf but i literally picked up 2 packets of...

Thats an amazing weightloss in only 14weeks and its brillinat u still feel so positive, may it continue to target and beyond :) im gona aim for another 3lb this week too, im with laurenypop, gona try to superspeed alot, going to try to make superspeed soup and stuff and im working fri and sat...

6lb, thats amazing! Well done, ul be in the 14's before u know it!x

3lbs off for me so got 4lb to go to officially be out of this wee group. Aiming for the same this week, gona try to superspeed loads this week cuz i really want it. Mini goal one on target to be achieved!! Whoop x

3lb off for me, absolutely chuffed. Got my half stone award too, so im very very happy!

Preplanning i think is the key for me if im not doing anything special but if iv something planned then i initiate damage limitation by doing alot of exercise during the week. Stocking up on syns and trying to super express as much as i can. This weekend iv nothing really planned apart from...

Well the weekend is upon us...are we all still focused on dropping this group by dropping the pounds?? Sun is shining here, beer garden calls but no, i shall resist !! 17th june to lose 6lb...i can do, i will do it!! Be good peeps xx

I am determined to be out of this group by the 17th june (no offence!!) I have been bouncing around in the 16's for too blooming long now, sick of it. Been an angel since coming back of a hen do on monday, missed my tuesday wi due to a late finish at work, was gona go to a class tonight but...

Think il be leaving wi today until tomorrow-possibly until next week though! Hen weekend involved lots of alcohol and lots of crisps and nuts! Food wise, only really ate two meals in the days but those meals were mainly irish frys or the equivaalent of one so i duno. Working until nearly half 7...

Lolly26 dont even begin to doubt ur losses !! Ur doing brilliantly!! Doesnt matter that you've had big losses, alot of people have really really good losses when they start then it just settles out to a steady pace with the occasional blip. There are also alot of ppl who go to class and tell...

Im going to bed because i literally want to raid the cupboards...not that theres currently anything naughty in them and im not even hungry so im dumping all food right now :)

Well i had 1lb on...which im not overly sad about, was thinking it might be more but my exercising must have paid off somewhat. On plan 110% with loads of superfree, superfree soup being made tomorrow ....until saturday when im away on a hen do. Foodwise i think il be fine but its the drink...

Aww boo, offer is no good to me on shifts anyhoo. Have to say with all u at home weighers its made me glad i dont own a set of scales at home!! Id be panic weighing constantly and going mad...oh well face the music tonight and move on x

Whats the offer laurenypop?? Cant see the attached pic on my phone x

well done rod! amazing loss, looking awesome for it !

Im just joining in with the dread here about WI tomorrow!! Its worse cuz i havent been for two weeks due to holiday, then planning to go to a different class due to work last week that didnt exist anymore, so im absolutely crapping myself. Not written a food diary at all but I know iv been good...

My food dump has to be cereal, just writing it is making me crave it but no...i will dump it instead, have had my healthy extra amount today but i have in the past been known to eat a whole box of cereal within a day or two...yum yum yum :)

Well done BigApples...keep it up :)

Right im back, not been on for a while - moved house, put on about half a stone, lost 5lb so far being back at a different class - got 6lb to go to get me out of this group....I WILL SUCCEED (this time :D )

Eeekkkkk I need some encouragment...normally a tuesday weigher, but went away last minute last tuesday so didnt go to class then I had to miss this tuesday cuz of work so im going to a class tomorrow before work and im absolutely crapping myself. So tempted not to go, but I KNOW that only leads...

I literally am in shock reading that conversation. Really who do ppl think they are commenting on any aspect of ur life, fat, thin, tall, short or whatever. Good on you though for taking urself out of the situation before saying anything back, its sometimes the best thing to do. She probably has...

Theres definately 'not eating enough' conlou, and i dont think u are. Thats probably why u feel bloated all the time. Anything u do eat/drink ur bodies holding onto. You need calories to live, just live and its more than two slices of nimble! Also stop weighing yourself every 5minutes. That...

Not dissing anti-depressants, i know many people who are on them or have been on them, just giving opinions on alternative things cuz i know they arent for everyone. If they work for you and are right for you, thats great cuz they help loads when u give them a chance. Think alot of people think...

Too true Largerthanmost, sometimes the scales are better looked at 4 weekly too - because in 4 weeks you can lose the most incredible amount of weight but say u STS or lose/gain 0.5lb one week you get disheartened. Although I know its easier said than done, but its definately something I am...

Thats awful you felt judged by consultants and midwifes...thats just wrong. Although I personally feel like docs etc are very hypocritical about weight loss. I had one doc who I went to for a sick note after a lorry crashed into my KA a few years ago and was basically told to stop being fat and...

Thats what I need too - anythings possible, you never know!! me being realistic though im saying 2 weeks to get there. good luck!!x

Got 4lb to get me to 15st 13lb, set myself 2 weeks to do it, but in all honesty id love it next week! cant wait to get into the 15's and move down, the lightest iv ever been is 15st 12lb on SW in the last couple of years cuz I always seemed to lose a stone then bounce around, then eventually...

Yeah!! Well done, its very exciting to be so close to the next stone bracket! Real achievement :)

Thanks dizzy226 - im sure it wont be long before u move down the stones :)

Well done everyone on fab losses, i lost 3lb through some kind of miracle and have updated the list with the 0.5lb from last week! nowere near target but its coming off X Anois 8lbs (9.5lb lost 5lb to go) bettyboop 8lbs (0 lost 8lbs to go) bigsnake (0 lost - 10lb to go) Brennan72 16lb (2lb...

woweeeee!! i was dreading WI - was even thinking about giving it a miss but I lost 3lb!! got slimmer of the week too - so happy :D only 3 to go and il be leaving you lovely people...would love to get it next week, got nothing standing in my way but knowing me and my body I'll not pressure myself...

Fab starburst85, great loss ! You'll be gone soon enough and a step closer to goal :) dreading weigh in later today-just want out of the 16's but got no hope of even losing this week. Got NOTHING on for the next two weeks so im gona aim for good losses and hopefully start Dec heading down the...

Thats dedication !! My body wouldnt move at a running pace at 4am !!! Good luck :)

I shud have used my brain before setting a nov target of a stone! Had halloween and family over, this weekend iv been home for a 60th and had an indian last night, birthday cake and copius amounts of alcohol! Oh dear. Was good until friday night and really trying to be good now until tuesday but...

Stresses of modern day life eh, drives us all the drink!? I like it when my shifts fall on a weekend so i cant drink...would tend to drink during the week cuz if i have one my bf has to have one, but he can never just have one-he drinks to get drunk mostly so i tend to avoid it at all costs...

Well i need to confess my badness in order to move past it ! Iv come back to ireland for my mums 60th, went out last night and got blind drunk, had chips, gravy&cheese on the way home plus a family sized bag of Tayto cheese and onion when i got in !! OMG !! Not to be outdone today, started off...

Good luck for the morning...ul be grand!

I couldnt stay to class the last few weeks but my consultant was saying she had a sheet with things that weighed one pound all the way to a stone. It was quite shocking, what I remembered was : 7lb = one henry hoover 5lb = average sea otter:confused: 11lb = microwave 8lb = average human head ...

too be fair i dont drink anywhere near as much as i used to. i can happily go out and drink soda and lime without feeling like im missing out. i just went abit overboard over a few days and it caught up to me. lesson learnt!! I duno whats with me at the minute running wise, struggling to run...

ohhh i hate it when the scales fluctuate a little between the half pound and a maintain!! i always think....shoulda gone to the loo, dammit!!

Well done everyone who lost and moved to the the 15's !! Starburst il keep u company a little while longer here-only lost 0.5lb this week so im not really any closer to leaving this group...slowly but surely!x

Yeh i think when you actually stop fooling yourself thats when you make progress, at the end of the day you're only doing yourself out of the reward of being thinner and healthier. Id like to lose at least 5stone on my current weight cuz i am quite a big girl anyway so i think 11st 7lb would do...

Only a half off for me tonight - only 13.5lb to go!! may have set the bar too high, esp as I have a 60th birthday to go to in ireland at the weekend!! Positive attitude though, be awesome til then and hopefully flexi-syns will soften the blow. I lost and for that I am proud, going in the right...

This is why i dont own scales...i would weigh myself and get depressed and not go to class! Good attitude though, you've eaten wrongly, but dont continue, stop and restart. Fab! You'll do great this week !

I am a continual restarter on SW, i always lose a stone then bounce around. I definately feel in a place now though that i am going to break that cycle. I 'should' be a twiglet with what i tell people, cuz i exercise really hard, running like 4 times a week and stick to the plan but what i dont...

Positive thinking please. A one pound gain can easily be rectified. We all have bad weekends, just brush it off and get right back on track. X

Thats fab! 5 and a half stone is such an achievement, id be over the moon with that. Can i ask how long you have been losing for??

I just had a great wee laugh looking at this thread - the very first post is priceless. Tough love indeed is needed and a good kick up the ass when we have shovelled in that chocolate bar without even stopping to think so I reckon I'll be popping in here a little bit :) I had a friend who piled...

If you dont eat alot of fat in your meals during the week I wouldnt waste the tablets taking them then. Although if you always have a pudding maybe take one or two after it. I just think they are quite expensive to be taking after every meal if your not eating alot of fat to begin with. If you...

Well done :D hope they continue working for you...i'll be very jealous!!!

Basically I was told those are the two foods people are commonly not allergic/intolerant too so eat them and then reintroduce other food after a week - id be gnawing my arm off by the 3rd day!

Kim63 - Sorry about ur gain, its hard not to get downhearted when you've stuck to it, but just remember your body doesnt kknow its time to be weighed and it could be any number of things causing it. It'll come off next week and its good to keep your positive attitude about it not letting you down.

Jenna88 .... Sometimes a maintain is all we ask for ! Its not a gain and thats the most important thing isnt it? If I maintain this week it'll be a blessing - had a horrendous start to the month, as I had some family over for halloween so there was boozing and halloween sweets galore! My...

I actually said to my boyf I liked hearing myself breath when I was running the other day and he looked at me like Id just spat at him! Haha, whatever works I guess, its just what I prefer! I also really noticed what a bad effect drinking does to your 'training' - had some family over from...

To be honest doctors were pretty unhelpful. When I mentioned gluten free i was told to go on a pork and pear diet (mind if i dont!!?) More or less done it on my own with alot of research. I think il just wait a few more weeks doing gluten free and see what the weight loss is like before getting...

To anyone starting the gym, I think you've gota go with a plan in mind. Unless you get a personal trainer (expensive!) then its just down to building on ur abilities and knowing where you want to end up. If its running your into, try working up to 5k for instance. My bug bear is weights, I...

well done on everyone adding losses to this thread and getting closer to there November target! Im usually a saturday weigher but because of shifts i sometimes go to tuesdays, looking forward to getting my first november weigh in and hopefully getting one step closer to my target for this...

does anyone feel like halloween set them back a week or two longer to get out of this group?? i think it did !! doubled with a visit from my sister and niece meant too much rum consumed and too many sweets available on halloween for the kids! oh well...wipe my hands and start again...whats a...

I havent a clue whether or not to buy another box of XLS...I don't know if it makes a difference...I took it one week, gained 6LBS !!! No drastic change and then took it on/off for a week and lost 4.5lb changing to a gluten free diet! So much money at the minute for me but I'm desperate to get...

Thats amazing Lucylu79, well done. Makes you feel so good knowing you've pushed yourself that hard. Fair play to you aswell for doing it while the little one snoozes, if it were me id have been tempted to snooze too rather than run for 45 mins! We obviously have great taste with the drink...

I have had months of issues health wise and everything points towards celiac/intolerance/allergy. My 'symptoms' are pretty much what they say you get from eating gluten etc. I'm not being overly hopeful but after a week of not eating any gluten or dairy I got weighed today and the scales were...

I've had my thyroid checked. I've been tested for celiac and inflammations and various other things. Nothing comes back with any issues, which I shouldbe happy about but its just irritating trying so hard and not seeing any results. I had my first weigh in this morning after going gluten and...

I'm going big because if this gluten and dairy free thing that I'm trying works for me (and has been the root of all issues!) I'm owed big numbers from my body! Its been holding on to the fat for too long :p First weigh in doing G+D free for a week whilst following SW was this morning and I lost...

looks like me and Brennan72 are the only ones aiming big (as in over a stone!) are we delusional !?!?:D

Wow, hannibanani, that is a pretty cool idea! I would never have thought of doing that...hmm, so it proves the tablets do actually bind fat so why are they not working for me?!?! I have been pretty stalled in weight loss. Couple of pounds on, couple off, even though I exercise hard and mainly...

oops!! left about half the people off there!! Brennan72 16lb (0 lost 16lb to go) Donna88 2lb (0 lost 2lb to go) Honeypop 4lbs (0 lost 4lbs to go) Jenna 1988 (0 lost 3.5lbs to go) JulesyR 6lbs (0lbs lost 6lbs to go) Laurajade23 7lbs (0 lost 7lbs to go) Law3a3m 7.5lbs (0lbs lost 7.5lbs to go)...

Hey all, my November challenge is to get a stone off...I WILL DO IT, I WILL DO IT!!! I've been fluctuating too much lately !! Brennan72 16lb (0 lost 16lb to go) Donna88 2lb (0 lost 2lb to go) Honeypop 4lbs (0 lost 4lbs to go) Laurajade23 7lbs (0 lost 7lbs to go) Loolahoop 6lbs (0 lost 6lbs to...

Hey all, Im looking for some massive inspiration to try to take me out of the 16's once and for all !! I started at 17st 4 in FEBRUARY and its just not happening for me. I do SW and I lose a few pounds, put on a few pounds, just constant yo-yoing. I have been having some 'issues' with health...

I'll have a look for that thread Lucylu79, I'm new to this site and I find it a little hard to work at the minute! Yeh I'm following slimming world, I've been a member since Feb but I am struggling alot. Not with sticking to the diet but just seeing any weight come off. Sometimes I don't follow...

Hi everyone, So glad to see people enjoy running as much as me, its definately addictive! I ran the Bupa 10k last year and then didnt really do much afterwards but have become obsessed with it again recently. Started off slow but your fitness really improves quickly but id say you still have...

Hi all, mind if i join this group as I'm hoping it might give me the boost I need to get into the 15's!! I actually started Weight Watchers at 18s 7lbs (or somewhere about!!) years ago, lost 3 stone on it but then went to uni and left home etc and when I started back to WW, I think i weighed...

Hi, Im relatively new to Slimming World, only joined 5 weeks...possibly 6 (im having nightshift mind freeze!) and have lost 9.5lbs. The thing is I have about 6stone left to lose and it feels beyond me. I am fully aware of taking it stone by stone but the thing is I ran the Bupa 10k on 15th...
