Thank you very much Sarah. No the insulin isn't alcohol related because I have to admit that after yesterday's awful day I slipped back into having three small glasses of wine last night - but I did count them on my Weight Watchers points🙂
 
Oh well it was only a thought 🙂

As said I hope today is a lot better for you.

Hi Sarah thinking that it might be the alcohol was a good suggestion, thank you very much for mentioning it

I've now lost 7 pounds in seven days hooray:D Also went for Susie walk and for the first time in ages I didnt have to sit down because my back had got too stiff. OH and I are thinking that the back stiffness may have been linked to the weight gain but now I've lost that weight

Wow, that's amazing! Well done you! 🙂 Great news about the back too, I bet Susie is pleased! 🙂
 
Well done AJ!! Great result!🙂Love Katiexx
 
Congratulations Amanda.

Any Christmas parties planned? Think of the new outfits - not jealous MUCH LoL


Really pleased to hear about your back pain too.
It does worry me a little the rate at which your losing the weight. I understand with everything else it's far from an easy thing to do. Maybe just something to watch. It's such a fine line - one which I sit on daily!

Thank you Katie, Alan and Sarah. Susie was very pleased that she didn't have to wait for me on the walk today because she does find that boring🙂 Sarah thank you very much for your concern about whether I'm losing weight too fast - I've been really good and made sure that I've eaten all of my Weightwatcher points each day - even when it has meant forcing myself to eat a packet of yummy cheese and onion crisps🙄 My guess is that the weight is just coming off fast at the moment because it's also lots of water as it's the early days...........it won't be long until I'm moaning that I only losing a pound a week. Biggest challenge will be from Saturday onwards when I start my birthday celebrations (2 nice meals and a buffet in a week). My challenge then will be keeping off the weight that I've lost so far. I know that I should be good when I have the birthday meals but I'm only human🙄 Next big challenge will be going to the pub with a group of friends tomorrow - will I be good and keep to sparkling water and lime or will I be tempted to drink too much wine😱 - I've budgeted my WW points to allow for two small glasses of wine and I will eat my dinner before going out............I'll let you know how I get on on Tuesday
 
I was very impressed with myself last night. I rarely go to the pub but went last night because it was a friend's leaving bash. Everyone one else ate curry and I didn't eat anything and I also kept to the two small glasses of wine which I had budgeted for with my Weightwatchers points - I'm really pleased with myself:D
 
Only just seen this Amanda - you go girl! Well done - don't be too hard on yourself though - allow a little treat - I would probably have had a plain salad in front of me last night rather than nothing.

You are doing really well though - great to see you back on track.🙂
 
Brilliant going. I would agree with Lucy. A little is often better than nothing.🙂

Thanks Lucy and Rob. My weight loss has slowed down a lot this week. I weigh one pound less than I did last Friday (a total loss of six pounds since September 19th). Don't expect to lose weight during the next week as I'm away at the seaside for the weekend and celebrating my birthday next Tuesdsy:D. But I will be a good girl on the days when I'm not celebrating🙄
 
Sorry a bit late but really hope you have a fantabulous Weekend & Birthday :D

You can't beat fresh sea air for giving you a boost

Thank you Sarah. We had a wonderful time. Seaside fish and chips and, on Saturday, a lovely meal. The sun was gorgeous when we were walking on the beach. Looking forward to a relaxing birthday tomorrow especially as I have the daub off work

Have had wonderful birthday celebrations but I now weigh three pounds more than I did last Friday.😱 I can't believe that the weight went back on so easily. However I have been good and kept to my Weightwatchers points yesterday and I am doing well so far today - I won't be put off by the hopefully temporary weight gain
 
I'm glad you had a great Birthday AJ 🙂

Hope things are still going well for you.


Take Care

Have hardly been checking my Weightwatchers points since my October 4th birthday so had been avoiding standing on my scales - especially as I had previously put on three pounds after a weekend away - I even agreed with my doctor yesterday when she suggested that I had put on a few pounds (she didn't weigh me). Therefore had a big surprise today when I found that I am now eight pounds lighter than I was on September 19th and this is only a pound more than I weighed this time last year.:D

AJ that is fantastic news. I'm really really pleased for you.

Don't know what else to say except Well Done, Excellent & Brilliant :D

Well done Amanda! See, you lost that without even thinking about it, what a lovely surprise! 🙂 Shame the doctor didn't comment on how you looked so much lighter, but thought you'd increased your weight! 🙄 Keep up the good work! 🙂
 
I'm giving myself a public slap on the wrists been stuck at home on sick leave and have started "rewarding" myself with food whilst doing absolutely no exercise. Last night I even added butter to the vegetables😱 Not very impressed with myself. Back to trying to be good today. Also hoping to have enough energy by Saturday to walk Susie and go swimming.
