| Welcome Margaret and well done on losing. It does not matter if it is 1 lb or 10, it is a loss.
Just arrived back from a lovely villa in Majorca. Managed to stay off the bread until Wednesday, and then that was it. Crusty bread with ali oli....... more crusty bread I am not going to get on the scales until Monday!! I now have 2 more weeks before going to Florida for a month, so need to get some serious salads, fresh fruit etc. Got 2 more black tie do's next weekend, but will cater for those by being careful and just having free foods during the day.
Well done Paula also. Pamela, glad it was only a teeny weeny gain and not what you thought. Brenda, nice to see you are back on line. I think you leave the day after we arrive, so hopefully may see you for a chat if you are around.
Have a good week everyone.

| I have just caught up with some of the previous postings - there have been some great weight losses, well done Try and stay positive, those that haven't
Liese, I would recommend SW if you require support. I was reluctant to go at first but the cajoling by the enthusiasts here helped me take that step and it was worth it. I now have a good idea of how it all works and gels together with my own eating habits and it has given me the confidence to create meal plans that work.
Sandra, glad to hear Majorca was a success and it will be good to see you before we leave.

| Morning ladies, sorry for the silence, been busy with my eldest dog who has been v poorly and I had to have put down on Tuesday. Lottie was a lovely dog and was only 10 but all the problems she has has since tearing her cruciate ligament when she was nearly 3 took their toll on her body and although mentally she was as sharp as a button her body was just packing up on her and she could hardly get up and down without one of us lifting her up.
Not been too good with the old diet either, but on Monday went down with a lurgy and the only good thing is I have lost 4½lbs! So that has got me back on track, along with being able to walk the youngest round the National Trust land as we used too - and at a fast lick as well. I can feel the muscles!
Friday evening we went to the Rpyal Windsor Tattoo, it was wonderful and for my mother and I lovely for us to see the Pipes & Drums. We haven't been to one since my father took the salute at Edinburgh Castle in 1979 while he was still serving in the army.
2 weeks on Sunday till ED and I go to Florida so am going to be an  until then! |

| Ruth & Liesa the trick is not to have anything in the fridge unless it is good for you! So pre-sliced carrots and celery go along way with the munchies, along with baby tomatoes, instead of say mini sausage rolls or scotch eggs!
I go round Waitrose like a demon vetoing crisps, chocolate, biscuits and anything with loads of preservatives or E numbers in, my daughters friends are always amazed that there is "nothing to eat" in our house! I have relaxed and allowed basic white bread so they can have marmite or jam on toast - anything else they can bring themselves!
It goes without saying that if I applied this all the time I would be a size 10/12 not rather more generously endowed!!
I think they 80/20 rule - be good 80% of the time and carefulish the other 20% you should do ok. I have been tucking into chocolate and biscuits while I have been recovering from my last op and getting so tired needed a sugar boost. I have now switched to eating a banana in the afternoon and having either oat flakes or porridge with fruit for breakfast and allowing myself 1 or 2 glasses of wine (a spritzer) a night and feel alot better for it. Probably doing too much while I was still recovering to be honest but not easy to sit around doing nothing, although sometimes I have a darn good try! |

| Fiona, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I know exactly how you are feeling
Thanks for the tips, they make perfect sense. Only one problem, well three actually. Three very active children who need to eat lots and lotsI am fine when the fridge is empty, but after a Tesco delivery, disaster We never have anything with artificial ingredients as they make James hyper but there are plenty of foods which fit the "healthy" category in all but calorie content

Well, finally decided (thanks to Pamela's posting) to get on the scale this morning. 9 lbs over target weight but thank you Pamela or I would have just kept eating. Even with all our dinners out, another 2 this weekend, I am not going to eat the bread roll, and tonight I had already ordered FF salad and will just leave the clotted cream. Having melon for starter, and salmon for mains, so quite a healthy meal. I am now back on the wagon I hope!!!!!!
