Morning all 
Feel free to post as much as you like - it's a big social thread really
My weekend also went to pot. If I'm good for the today and tomorrow I may manage to stay the same come Wednesday. Weekends can be so difficult.
Jan - I'd imagine there are bound to be weeks that aren't as good as others. I've heard it said that losing is easier than maintenance - I'm not even going to think about it hehe! Good luck for WI. You can always lose it next week

Awww thanks guys. I gained 1lb ... could have been a lot worse and I'm still under goal but am doing some serious bud nipping so's it doesn't get out of hand!
Yeah - maintenance ain't easy I'm afraid. It's like being cast adrift without a paddle or a compass. (ooo must write that one down ..... oh yeah - just did)
Now I know before I lost the weight I'd have scoffed and thought 'what a wonderful problem to have - what are they moaning about?' And I would rather be where I am now than looking at all those unwanted lbs on the scales - well, AND in the mirror!
I guess it's like everything else in life .. each stage, each situation brings it's own challenges and difficulties. It's easy to think that the grass is greener. Even now I think it was soooo much easier TFRing than trying to even things out now but I'll get there!!
Another daunting thought I only heard the other day. Apparently you have to maintain for 5 years until you can say you've cracked it ..... ho hum .... Only 4 years, 45 weeks and 6 days to go then xxx

1lb? Ah, that's not so bad! In fact, I think you should be proud of yourself.
I can't believe that - 5 years? Crikey! That does seem like a very long time but if we change our entire lifestyles and adapt to healthy food and exercise then hopefully after a while it'll seem like the most natural thing in the world. Although I know that's much easier said than done.
Just watch those 4 years, 45 weeks and 6 days fly by. You can do it!

1lb is probably just water or glycogen - will soon shift.
Five years :O To be honest, I've always considered it to be like being an alcoholic - once you have the problem it's a life long thing, some days being better than others. You will have to let us know in 4 years, 45 weeks and 5 days what it's like
Finally had a good diet day - yay! Did 20 mins free step on the Wii too - yay!
You know, I'd feel a lot better in myself if we actually had some sunshine - I miss that nice hot weather.
Right, off to make a big mug of coffee - an excellent filler upper hehe!

Go Caroline!
I ordered a Wii yesterday so I'm gonna combine that with some brisk walking each day. I can't wait to try the EA Sports Active 30 day challenge thing - it looks like fun (although hard work I'm sure!)
It was quite sunny here earlier but it's gone all gloomy again. Ah well, hopefully that big mug of coffee will make you feel better!

Phew, my fingers are sore hehe! Work is mega-busy which is great - more money for the pot.
Rain - boy did we have rain this morning. For a moment I thought I was in a car wash! With flashing lights and sound effects lol
Sushi for dinner - having a non-DC day as I'm bored
Hope everything is having fun

Ooooooo Sushi! Mmmmmmmm
I saw a couple of pouches of food in Tescos yesterday. They weren't 'Look what we found' I can't remember what the make was but they looked very similar. There was a Morrocan Tagine - I think it was chick pea, I know it looked nice & if I hadn't got so many pouches left I'd have got one to try. There was also a fragrant curry - chicken I think - looked very similar to a 'weight to go' one I've had from avidlite in the past.
Just a thought if you're bored.
We had some terrible rain in the night, I don't know what it's been like all day but it's beautiful now (6.30pm) ... well it looks beautiful - I don't know how warm it is!
I'm really glad work is going well for you Caroline. You must be really self-motivated, look after those fingers!! xx

Sorry Diversity - I totally missed your post! Blame old age and bad eyesight lol How's it going? When is your WI day?
I'm aiming for a 2lb loss this week - nothing too much.
Have been very good on the Wii - finding the free step quite addictive but wish the board was higher. I don't want to add one of those risers though - they look kind of naff!
Jan - I shall take a look. I think I just like a change to fish every now and then. I hope one day DC will introduce some fish dishes.

Hi guys. I'm not having a very good weekend... still sticking to everything 100% but I wish there was more choice for breakfast/lunch. Also I'm really missing bread, aching all over from the Wii and was craving chocolate quite badly yesterday. I feel a bit better today though and there's no way I'm going to give up!
How's everyone doing?
