Morning all

Thought I'd say have a fab easter now, as am off to Norwich at midday to pick my kids up and bring them back to Essex for the weekend so I doubt i'll be on until tuesday now.

So take care and try to resist the easter eggs

Hi fellow Brits
lovely day here in Essex (not!). Been for my weigh in at gym, first one since I joined on 1 march. Lost exactly half stone and 6.5 inches! Woohoo! What with gold star from GP over blood sugar and bp I'm just so happy!

Mind you the bloody scales at gym are exactly half stone wrong. They were last calibratedin Jan. Popped into see practice nurse who confirmed my own reading at home. Was disappointed to see I was over 17st at gym but have actually broken thru 16st ceiling to 16st12lb.

Think I'll stick to my own record keeping, with help from mfp!

Roll on April, let's get choc season outta my way...!

How are you guys planning to deal with the temptation, especiallythose with kids?

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate!!!!!!! Too much of it everywhere. And I have just been told that I have to have a session in London tomorrow. This weekend is going to be tough. And I have my mum visiting too this weekend and that will involve a meal out :mad: :laugh: :drinker: Oh well I dont get to see her much due to the fact that I am in the south now and she lives up north. So I am sure it will be a nice treat for us both.

I hope you all have a good weekend (or at least try to be good)

Paulo I hope you have/had a great weekend with the kids.
K - you can do it

Hey everyone,

Sounds like you all had good weekends, for one reason or another! I didn't do too badly...we did end up eating in the pub on Saturday night. I had a steak as it was flamegrilled so hopefully not too much fat! I was also able to swap out the chips for roasted sweet potato wedges, so I think it was probably not too bad on the calories.......until I had a glass of wine....I did however only have one (small!!!!!!), and by my reckoning I was actually on the button with my calories that day, even if they weren't all 'good'. On Sunday we did have pizza, but as it is home made it is actually fairly nutritious even if it is heavy on the calories. I did go to the gym so I didn't go over.

I think this weekend is just going to be baaaaaaaaaad! It's my friend's 30th birthday tomorrow, so on Friday we are going for drinks in Guildford. I think I've more or less decided to try not to drink anything that night. Once I have one I can't stop! Saturday should be ok because we're at home and I'm going to go to the gym. Sunday is going to be the killer. Going home to visit the rentals, but because they're divorced it's lunch at dad's and dinner at mum's. It will be two full on meals with pud and then there's the easter chocolate and the wine! I'm going to try and maintain at least...I think that is the best I can hope for!

sdscouser - enjoy your meal out with your mum.

ragster - well done on the loss (however much it is) and way to go on those inches! Who cares how much you weigh as long as you are looking smaller?! Well done on the blood sugar and blood pressure too. Our health is the most important thing!

paulo79 - enjoy the weekend with the kids, it's what it is all about!

Lee - glad you had a great birthday weekend. I reckon you did well...better than I managed on my birthday anyway!

Kendra - well done on maintaining whilst on your course...the best bit of things like that is normally the food, and you don't get much choice, so I think you've done brilliantly.

Caryl - just stick with it, you'll get there. We all have our off days/weeks. Trust me, i know!

sparklepants - well done on quitting the smoking. Don't be too hard on yourself, sometimes it is easier to deal with one thing at a time. Nothing wrong with that, just do what you can. Even the small things count, and quitting the *kitten* will (eventually) make you feel so much better, and maintaining is a fantastic achievement in it's own right.

Katherine - sounds like a great weekend, definitely not one to count the calories.

Jo/Mimi - I'm with you this week, retaining water terribly and I feel grumpy and just want to eat a bucket load of chocolate.

Sorry for rambling on! Anyway, i hope everyone is ok, and enjoys the rest of the week,

Hi Katherine - Sorry to hear that you're feeling miserable. You will come out the other side, even if it doesn't feel like it. Try and be strong, but don't beat yourself up if you don't manage it. :flowerforyou:

On Friday I think we're starting at the Whitehouse, but don't know where we'll end up. If you spot me, come over and say hello. Sounds like you need a hug and I'd be happy to provide it! I think I'll be wearing a yellowy/brown and black top with a big flower pattern on.

i know i have been missing for months but just wanted to say i'm back.

And some very good news as well. Started dieting again last monday and got on the scales for the first time today and have lost 7lbs in 10 days.
Now i know every week wont be like this but it's a very good confidence builder.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Hi de hi UKers!!!

Well I have been avoiding MFP for a couple of weeks because I gave up smoking!!! I really thought I would put on loads of weight because I tend to snack more (need to do SOMETHING with my hands!!!!) Anyway as I decided to take part in JAG's OBK2 http://www.jagsfitnessblog.com/2010/03/operation-butt-kick-phase-2.html I figured I need to bite the bullet and get on the scales and AMAAAAAZINGLY I have managed to maintain!! Which I'm really pleased with!!

So anyway...let the butt kicking comense.....

Well done!! Quitting is so hard and even harder to do without gaining a ton of weight!! Congratulations )
I gave up smoking September before last and really pleased I have stayed stopped, Feel so much better and have bought a new car with the money I save each month!! And now weigh less than when I gave up!! Hard work but WELL worth the effort. )
