Hi Derbynanny, not ignoring you, just haven't been on forum lately. My weigh in was today, and much to my surprise i have lost 4lb this week. I have been having a mixture a red/green days this week, with only one EE day where i made the cottage pie, i followed the recipe to the letter and couldn't believe how much there was, it really was nice. I had a funeral to go to last Friday, best friends mum died, and i was determined to not eat the buffet type foods that were on offer, who was i kidding, but the sausage rolls were nice. I don't normally drink alcohol, last time being Christmas, but my friend said her mum would want me to have a"good ol' drink", so despite my refusals the baileys flowed far to much. So all in all i was dreading today's wi, but well, maybe a blow out every so often is what helps me along the way. I have probably been having to much "diet" food, and not enough variety. Will see what next weeks weight loss, if any, is before i pass judgement, although no alcohol this week though.
