Urgh! I feel gross today. So bloated and tired. Hopped on the scales BAD idea apparently I am up at least 4lb since Friday! I don't believe it!? Friday night wasnt that bad and I had a good weekend, lots of superspeed soup (I can't believe how much that recipe makes). Maybe that's the problem, I'm full of beans.

I went up +2lbs this week and quite a few people do go up and down, but you will get there in the end! Just think of it as a new lifestyle rather than a diet. xxx

[Nickee]

Lost a lb! Really pleased! Had sw pizza and cheesecake tonight! Didnt like either though:0(. Still, have been remarkabely well behaved for a friday! Do you weigh on friday too?

 

[KraziKayzi]

I normally weigh on a Tuesday and I am doing it at home now as pennies are tight but had been to group for 5weeks or so!
I have lost about 7lb this week so far LOL.... I have been ill so unable to eat, dont know why I weighed, guess I was curious ahaa... hopefully should be eating again tomorrow as I am starting to feel a little hungry now
Well done with the 1lb ... so are you impressed with the amount you can eat or are you still worried about gaining? X

 

[Nickee]

Still worried about gaining but thats just me! Am thrilled with how its going so far, cant believe how unhungry i feel, its ace! Wowsers on your weight loss! Do you have alot to lose?

Didnt have a brilliant weekend counting wise but amongst a couple of slips up i did not bad, had a couple of bowls of superspeed soup for lunch, did some running and used my slo cooker for the first time. Hopefully have another loss this week, planning a red day tomorrow!
