    I have not lost any weight...at least not noticeable. I don't have a digital scale so if I lost anything it'd be less than a pound.

    sounds like you're stuck in a plateau. Try taking a week off & not counting calories, skip weighing in that week. Then the next week get back on track & see what the scales do for the next weigh in. It may help budge from the plateau.

    I had real feelings of letting myself down last night, we went out for a meal with visitors and I gave in to have a pudding. I did limit my meal calories somewhat and didn't eat a full on dinner, but still felt 'dissapointed' with myself.

    But, this morning I got a lovely surprise that instead of the scales going up, they came down! :) so

    SW 183
    CW 182

    Now to be good today!

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in....I do get on the scale each morning, though I try to tell myself not to....it's going in the right direction, which is a great thing!

    I completed my mini-goal last week, which was to keep up with tracking on MFP and take in all the water I was supposed to. This week, my mini-goal is to make it to the gym M-F. Two days down....three to go! :)

    Hope everyone else is having a good start to the week!

    Well done again (I posted on your wall), really great loss and going over into double figures is fab eh!

    Thanks hun! :) am really happy.. trying to resist all the kids sweets, cakes etc that are in the cupboard, we weren't too bad till some visitors brought us some 'goodies' yesterday!!

    Have just made some sugar free jelly, not strictly vegetarian but if it keeps me on the straight and narrow I'll ignore the gelatine in it!

    I weigh daily and am not sure what goal I set for this.. I think my Sept 12th one is going to be a bit too hard to reach but am not going to change it as it'll keep me on track I think. :) I was out riding for over 2 hours today (to the point of looking like john wayne when I dismounted) and survived on only a slimfast shake then bar for lunch with a banana so really good going (for me)! lol

    Hair - well done on your weight loss!
    Leona - good luck on your personal goal :) Hope you enjoy the gym :)
