I've just checked, I was 10.3...that isn't going to happen this year but hope it won't be far off!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Fingers crossed

 

[janetelizabeth]

How did you do over the Christmas & new year last year?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Just checked week after which is next week I lost 1lb then I didn't get weighed for two weeks as it was Christmas eve and New Years eve so I got weighed 7th Jan and put on 3.5lb which put me right on the edge of my target anymore and I would have been out of range and I NEVER saw that weight again so far in 2014 !!

 

[janetelizabeth]

You've done well to stay lower than the top end...I get frightened if I go past actual target!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I checked my book and for the earlier part of this year I stayed at target or above but for the latter part of this year I've been 0.5lb over target but mainly at target or below which is great

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes that certainly is! It's all a learning curve...
I think the highest I reached was 2lb over and that was last April...since then, like you, I've been somewhere between target and the lower end. I know it's only a matter of pounds but the psychological factor is huge for me!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Know what you mean about the psychological factor.

Great eating today Jaffa...that pasta bake is the sort of thing I make for Joseph, he'd probably have tuna in it too.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I don't like hot tuna only cold tuna mayo

I have tried tuna sweetcorn pasta bakes many years ago but I just remember really disliking them

 

[janetelizabeth]

I agree, I don't like hot tuna either...he likes it on a pizza too...!! ugh!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Uurgh is true it goes all dry and disgusting.
I have to get up early for a day off as I'm taking my mum out this morning she needs a few bits then meeting my school friend early afternoon for lunch and a good gossip. She lives in Bristol so we don't see each other that often.
We speak a lot on the phone though

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Looks like 0.5lb on but that is probably the pasta bake from last night

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes my scales were up this morning too...but I managed more than your 1/2lb!
Hope your mum has a successful time getting her bits and you have a lovely time with your friend too. I need to meet an old school friend too before Christmas but haven't made a date yet.
