Pea on legs!
Thanks Gail and Surreygal - I'm grinning like the cheshire cat this morning! 
Next goal is that 4st shiny and into the 12s for the first time in 7 years! I'm not going to set myself a target of any more than 1lb a week (especially as I have a long weekend with the girlies in 4 weeks time!), so I'm aiming to get there by 16th April...

Hiya hun! Fabulous loss! I'm definitely lagging way behind now - need to get my backside back in gear!
Btw...I was going back through my Mirena coil thread to see if anyone had mentioned acne and I saw that you'd put that I'd been keeping things very quiet Unfortunately, the lucky man isn't a certain teacher :sigh: Is it bad to lust over someone when you're seeing someone else, albeit casually?! I think it probably is, oops Haha! Oh well, I can window shop! xxx

Congrats on the sticker and you can do it! 1lb a week is nice and realistic but also allows for bigger/smaller losses

And stalkers are more than welcome here - I'm always impressed if anyone reads my inane ramblings!
Sian - I think it's perfectly acceptable to window shop (and, let's face it, if we all saw the perfect pair of shoes while shopping, wouldn't we at least go and try them on?!)
Had a perfectly wonderful weekend - all my family here for my Grandad's 90th birthday and my footy team won the Carling Cup - can't get much better than that!
I did have to flexi-syn today though, the puddings were too good to resist!

Unfortunately, I have to report a STS
Too many carbs, too many syns and not enough fresh fruit and veg = only myself to blame!
Still, onwards and downwards!

At least you know why though Spanx. I am expecting another gain next week....been very naughty this weekend!!
Spanx

Thanks Honda - hope your weekend was worth the potential gain!!!
I think it might be time to start cutting down on syns and/or reducing portion sizes. I've lost 3.5st so far, but it's really slowing down now... time to shake it up a bit!
I think I will also try some EE days, to reduce the carbs and increase protein.
Must find something quick and easy to take to the office though, so I can avoid the baked potato and beans daily lunch from the cafe down the road! Too late to make anything for tomorrow though, so will have to start on Tuesday!

Feeling a bit lacklustre at the moment - need my mojo back, so if you've seen it anywhere, can you send it back my way please?!
I have had a couple of NSVs this week though! I bought a couple of new tops off Ebay (some good Monsoon overstocks on there if you search!) for my upcoming weekend in Jersey. Bought the first one in a 22, as I've still got big boobs, and it fitted comfortably. Then saw another one I liked, but they only had it in a 20, so I decided to get it and keep it for the future if it didn't fit now. Anyway, it fitted easily!
Also, I'm back into 36" back bras, so I've gone from a 40HH to a 36H - not bad!
Which reminds me, I must update my measurements this week...
Tuesday: Green
Brekkie: Allbran, mullerlight, mixed fruit
Lunch: Cheese and potato pie (2xHEA plus 6 syns, as tasted like a lot of cheese!), beans, brown sauce (1 syn)
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Last of the chicken (HEB), spinach and mushroom curry (2 syns), boiled rice
Snack: Fresh pineapple, ww yoghurt (managed to break the KitKat habit!)
Total syns for day: 9
Week so far: 42.5
