Hi you, you must be back soon 
Hope you have a lovely time xx
Just wanna say ... DON'T get on the scales straight away, lol! Travelling can really make you retain some water!
When I came back from being in Tenerife for the weekend the scales said I had put on 5.5 lbs but after a few days this had settled down to a respectable 2lbs gain! That came off the second week
You have been away for a looonnnggg time hun ... boozing and eating to your heart's content (but not your waistline) so I don't want you getting on those scales and being upset!
I'll be here for you when you are ready to climb back on board the SW Wagon
I bet you are brown as a berry! I'm soooo jealous!!

hello diary
i have been back nearly a week but have not had time to post!!
came home to a poorly dog
thankyou ali for your post but sadly i had already weighed myself..... 10 mins after entering the house and had put 9lbs on but at weigh in today it was only 4lbs
so back to it proper from today though i have been good this weekend and have not had any alcohol since last thurs (and that was accidental)
just had some rhubarb my friend brought to group for me. didnt know you could microwave it! had it with some sweetner and a vanilla muller it was yum!! and its speed and fibre
so next things to focus on are hen night and weekend away in July, 2 weddings and a holiday in August. would be lovlely to get under 11 stone before 16th of July.
oh and son tom are wanting to slim a bit too after pig out on holiday. so i need to get my thinking cap on and sort out some family meals, so used to doing it on my own.
need to look at poorly dog (she is abit incontinent at the mo)

Welcome home hun! Hey - only 4 lbs up from before your hols - pretty good! I was expecting you to say like a stone or something, lol!
Whereabouts in Turkey did you go? Was it All Inc? And what's all this about MORE weddings and ANOTHER holiday??? Well there's nothing like having a target to aim for!

we've been to lara beach for the last 2 years, all inc, and its amazing!!
we used to do self catering in side and alanya but it the prices started going up so it was cheaper to do all inc.
we brought back 3/4 of our spending money this year and last so could afford a week on the norfolk broads. we love doing a boat for a week its like caravaning but movin up and down rivers and its soooo beautiful. totally different holiday to turkey and very physical jumping on and off the boat to moor it up!! and we share the driving cos its so easy and i dont drive cars so it must be easy!!

Lara Beach! You lucky thing! I love the look of that resort! It's full board isn't it? Not quite all inclusive?? Or is it??
We are off to First Choice Holiday Village Paphos in August - all inclusive with lots for the kids to do. Can't wait!!!
Don't fancy boating ... too slow for me, lol! Col fancies it though ... pub to pub!

Hey you ... what's all this talk about being a failure? You silly moose!
You have already lost weight ... you know what to do ... you just need to get back in the mindset! And there's nowt wrong with a glass of the old vino collapso! If that's what you wanna spend your syns on then that's cool!
Now get that arse back into gear! :whoopass:
PS - Well done on the zumba mate!
PPS - I've had a poorly puppy too Sh*t everywhere!!!!

Well done! Fab weight loss!!!!
Sounds like we are 2 peas in a pod ... I'm going to have to go onto Red & Green days for exactly the same reason! Far too much free food and not enough superfrees
Why didn't you tell me that the grapes in my vino weren't superfree??? Lol x

Just a quickie on the off chance you are still popping on here now and again
How are you? How's your Zumba/Rosemary Conley/Slimming World going? Or are you on to WW now? Lol x
I don't know about you but I think I'm finding it even harder in the summer! In the Spring I couldn't wait for the summer with visions of salad and bikini's ... now I'm thinking I'm better off with soups!
We are off to Cyprus on Sunday ... good times I've bought a tankini and a bikini but not sure if I'm brave enough to wear them!
Hope you are well hun xx Keep the faith!!!

hello diary,
wi day and i have LOST 1/2 a pound!! well the zumba must be doing something cos i've had a bad week!! put half on after dales wedding last week and lost it again after frannys wedding this week!! god knows how thats happened, cos its my star week too!
anyway i go on holiday this friday to the Norfolk Broads which i cant wait, we are all looking forward to it, but its going to be very tricky cos theres not a lot of walking, and a bit of eating out. i usually make sw chips with my meals and things like that on the boat cos you do get a proper kitchen on board, and take pasta n sauce and that type of thing. But some vino collapso and maybe some gin and tonics is also on the cards.
but when i get back im hoping to get my head down and get some proper wieght off for xmas.
we had woman of the year in group today and the girl who won is on 4 stone lost, i think shes only be coming to group for about 18 months and i can only lose 8 pounds since xmas last year
at one time i only weighed 9 stone 8!! sometimes i want to stand on my chair in class and shout "i did do it too once, i was a target member!!" some in class do remember but alot of the newer ones just see how rubbish i am and maybe wonder why i even come and waste my money! cos i wonder that myself all the bloomin time
see you later
