    My goal for the week is going to be basic: to actually stay on my calories or even go a tiny bit under. I got a bit carried away yesterday :drinker: and need to make up for it!

    Afternoon everyone :happy:
    welcome to all the newbies that have appeared over the weekend :flowerforyou:

    What a weekend !! The weather was lovely so we managed to get a lot of walking around in. The walled fort in Boulogne was very pretty. The museum interesting. Went for a long walk along the sea front which was bracing to say the least. Fascinating tour around the bunker where the Germans built the V2 bombs. So did a lot of exercise
    BUT
    oh dear, the food and drink :drinker:
    I had no idea there were so many calories in Brie ( never really looked before if I'm honest) I started to fill my meal plans in but it scared me. :embarassed: Lets just say I was hugely over my allowence.
    Trying not to let it worry me and will just have to be really good THIS week.


    Mimi - I am also a sucker for Midget gems - have been known to polish a whole pack off :laugh:

    Katherine - Sorry your weekend wasn't the best, but don't let that knock you off the straight & narrow

    Scouser - Im sorry but I don't know your name, hope the eyes are feeling a little better today.
    Have a good week everyone

    Monday again!!

    Had a long weekend, been off thurs/fri/sat/sun

    Was a bad food day on thurs, was away with the OH to see Frankie Boyle in Glasgow, stayed over night so ended up going out to dinner and drinking too much!


    Oh well, weigh in showed no gain, so happy with that and am back on track again now with no distractions!!

    Mondays though, I hate them!

    Well thank god Mondays done.... its all down hill to the weekend now!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    Had a bad weekend for my cals, my fella was away all weekend, so had a very girlie weekend, which was great, but involved a lot of wine, vodka, chrisps, pizza, not to mention the McDonalds breakfast, Scone with butter and jam, and full on sunday roast (completley unhealthy version - was gorgeous) and a chinese....... I actually feel worse for writing that down!! Ha!!! :sad: :noway: :sad:

    Oh well!! Am back on here, and deteremined to do well this week!! Going to get to military training at least 3 times this week.

    Got a quite weekend ahead so will hopefully make up for last weekend then with a detox and healthy eating!!!

    Was 10.12 1/2 on my Friday weigh in, and going to our friends wedding at easter and would love to get to 10.10 so got to try and be really good!!

    Hope you guys all have good weeks, and keep on track. :heart: :heart:

I went to Trafford Centre with my Dad on Saturday, had McDonalds breakfast, krispy kreme donut, and chinese for tea with a bottle of wine! Oops :ohwell:

    Have a good week everyone,

    Hi everyone
    thanks for the warm welcome. A difficult weekend for me. It started well with gym and shopping done by 10am on Saturday but with my son away with his dad so the calories did overspill a bit. I'm lucky in that I don't drink. My favourite sweet item for keeping on track is hartley sugar free jelly!

    I have my first diabetes MOT on Thursday so here's hoping.

    Have a great week one and all.

    glad you wear shorts for swimming - your local lifeguards must be very pleased you no longer skinny dip at the local pool :)

    I'm withyou there Gem. Weekends are lovely after a hard week at work but it's my weak spot too. If my sons away it's the picking at things that bring me down. Comfort/boredom eating methinks.

    Good morning Team UK! I hope you all had successful Mondays!

    I had a very good food/exercise day (Mimi it was day one of my perfect week, and i think i passed with flying colours) and feel like I can take on the world today.. im in a very good mood..
    Saw my best friend last night and talked about everything that has been going on with me and my long distance boyfriend.. needless to say i got a lot off my chest and feel SOOO much better about it already.. i still think its going to end soon, but i would rather do it when he's home and not still at uni.. :brokenheart: Meah.. its gonna be tought im sure.

    Does anyone want to have a little challenge with me? I have noticed that a few of you (like me) cant resist weekend temptations..:grumble: .. would anyone be willing to have a perfect weekend with me? Im talking, going to the gym, eating well and sticking to the cals?

    I hope you all have a good day today + the sun is out soo im smiling! :bigsmile:

    Thanks Kpnuts23,
    Well I had my first weigh in this morning and didnt loose anything:sad: . I think I may have ate a bit too much at the weekend(oops) This weekend I am going to try and be good. Only downfall is i'm going out with a friend on Friday night and will no doubt drink too much. Whats the lowest calorie alcoholic drink? But I'm going on holiday in 4 weeks so that hopefully will keep me focused not to eat rubbish.:happy:

    Morning K and everyone :heart:

    I'm glad you talked it all through with you bessie :flowerforyou: men hey! :brokenheart: Hope you're ok :smooched:

    I am DEFINITELY up for a Weekend Challenge that is JUST what I need. I normally go to the gym on Saturday's but even though I have all the best intentions to go on Sunday's I barely ever go and even if I do go, it's like, I can control myself from the sweets and crisps in the weekend but something inside me just doesn't do it on the weekend - even if in my head I'm thinking don't do it...I do and needless to say I go to bed every Sunday night feeling rubbish and promising to get back on it tomorrow (Monday :laugh: ) I really, really, REALLY want to get out of it so count me IN!

    Well done on Perfect Monday, here's to Perfect Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday annnnnd SUNDAY!

    Hope everyone has a good Tuesday!

    :heart: Mimi :heart:
