Thanks hun, feeling a bit miffed with Chris because if he hadn't behaved like an idiot I probably wouldn't have this extra 1lb :8855:

but you can call me Toni!
Just a super quick post, I put on this morning
+ 1lb from last monday's weigh in
It shouldn't be with me for long as I'm planning on having a 100% week, no slip ups :cross:
It'll be gone in no time, and lots more I imagine! Stay strong this week, hun!

lovely that 1lb is small, it will be gone next week, some people put on a 1lb for no reason occassionally so please don't let it get you down or ruin all that hard work will you? :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxx
It's not getting me down, it's made me quite determined to be rid of it this time next week
I'm drinking a lot today and finding that I'm not actually hungry, so I don't know whether to have lunch or not
Have tidied up the front room this morning, making plans for our back garden to make it child friendly.
As we have this wall
And these steps
And when my cousin's toddler was in the garden last year I just couldn't relax whatsoever. So I'm going to get Chris to get in touch with the landlord and ask if we can put a fence up and a gate at the top of the steps

Hi Em,
Great to hear you sound a bit better. 1lb isn't a lot. I'm sure you'll have no problem at all losing that. I know it's difficult to change life-long habits but that's what we do on diets isn't it? Instead of reaching for the comfort food next time you're down, why not get out and go for a fast walk or something? If you get your heart pumping and release some endorphins, they'll give you a totally natural 'pick-me-up'. I started doing that a few years back instead of comfort eating. I think it works better and is completely guilt free.
Good luck with the garden. I've just built a new house and need to put up some sort of retaining wall similar to what you have there. That's the joys of living on a sloping site. It hadn't even occurred to me to put up some kind of fence but since I have a 4 year old you've definitely given me something to think about. Thanks for that!! X

I'd definitely recommend the fence for your own peace of mind. I know a 4 year old is way more stable than a toddler, but it was so scary espescially when she got into a run towards the wall

Sorry to hear of your wee gain, but it will be gone soon.
Love your attitude to it though, very positive.

Had a 100% day today Drank loads as well so am feeling hopeful next week already
Have been so busy tidying up today and hardly had chance to get online. I plan on catching up with journals tomorrow morning
Just a quick food plan for tomorrow
Brekkie - muller light, grapes, fibre plus bar (hexb)
Lunch - cheese, ham and mushroom omlette (hexa)
Snack - banana, strawberries
Dinner - fish, chips and mushy peas spread ( followed by pot of pineapple
Snack - velvet crunch (4 syns), low fat yoghurt with options sachet (2 syns)
Total planned syns (6) though I am thinking of having a slice of bread with dinner so I can have a chip buttie

I've really been neglecting this place lately
Things have just been so hectic and Chris and I have been talking through things alot. I know this isn't a ttc forum, but in a way the decision we made affects slimming world.
We've decided that rather than waiting for me to lose weight before we start ttc, we're actually just going to go for it. I've spent £30 on supplements etc to help with my cycle and we've decided that if we're lucky enough for it to happen before the wedding, then we'll scale back some of our plans.
So I have made a decision to be really focused and try and lose as much weight as possible to try and help things along.
I changed lunch slightly today and rather than putting ham in the omlette I put smoked bacon in and I really wasn't keen, so don't think I'll be doing that again in a hurry :8855:
Hope everyone is ok :bighug:
