I put on half a pound. Its my 70th birthday tomorrow,and some family are away,so we started celebrating early last weekend! Oh dear.chocolate liqueurs were my downfall!🙄🙄Only half a pound gain is probably quite reasonable in the circumstances!
.Back in days of yore before the diabetes and slimming issues I could have put on much more.
Good thing too I am having a Dry January,or it could have been disastrous🙂🙂🙂🙂 So that makes 3st 13 lbs lost. Dont expect to lose anything this week,birthday tomorrow,sure to have visitors,then 14 family members are all going for an all-you-can-eat meal at a an Indian restaurant on Saturday.Cant see me losing anything by next Tuesday really,but once I get back into things the following week,I need to get stuck in. Its to be a Free Food February,so that might be a spur. I lost 6lbs in January,would be happy with 4 in February . We'll see!

Thanks Katie! I had a mere 8 people cluttering up the house last night🙂🙂 Would have been more but my son became a step-grandad last night,his partner being a grandma for the first time,so they were at the hospital.The tribe keeps on growing🙄
Managed a Dry January,but have wet the baby's head today😉

Its been a strange week. I seem to have been celebrating my birthday continuously! Started last weekend because my son was to be away all week. Cue chocolate liqueurs,put on half a pound at SW on Tuesday. Real birthday Wednesday,cue more chocolate🙄
Then we had a new baby to welcome in the family,my step great granddaughter,we were so happy,then shocking news. A friend of my husband caught the flu,and died in days,only 59.Really shook us up.
Today the whole tribe,14 of us went to an all you can eat Indian restaurant,to celebrate my birthday for the 3rd time.and just about cleared everything they had. 🙂🙂
I had - wait for it,deep breath - pilau rice,tikka chicken,spicy potatoes,lamb kebab,coleslaw,veggies and salad,potato cake,apple crumble with custard - and a profiterole.And a very large whiskey😱😱😱All that rice alone will bloat me up,put on about 3 pounds,and I had more carbs than I have had in several months. I havent felt bad,just very sleepy,but that has to be it. Only a couple of months before my HbA1c,I dont want a load of thick sugar in my body if I am to avoid medication. So back to the simple mainly veg diet. But cant see anything but a weight gain this week. I may have to go for a Thursday weigh in instead of Tuesday to reduce the damage!
Ah well,the big Seven Oh is a fact.Though something has gone wrong somewhere. I definitely feel like 26 in my brain!😛😛😛

Lol!
Glad it was snowing yesterday afternoon,so didnt attend SW. Didnt fancy coming home in the dark down a slushy steep hill then waiting 15 minutes in the freezing weather for a bus.Will go to Thursday a.m .class.According to my scales I put on 5 lbs (yep,rice definitely bloats me up),and some of that has gone,but still 2lbs gain on the scale this morning.
Oh well,lets see how it goes tomorrow,and start over
But reaching that 4 stone is slow going! Well done on your loss thi week too.Excellent,Stitch.Good work

I'm not sure if it's worth posting it here - but at my diabetes appointment I was down 7 kg (!) from the last time they saw me. Theoretically my BMI is 24, although I was fully clothed when they weighed me.
If the WLG is still keeping a running total then you can have some or all of that.

Sorry not to be around. Last Thursday's weigh-in I only put on half a poundbut ,at one point my scales were showing up to 4 lbs gain,so I was well pleased when hard work for 3 days sticking to plan reduced that to half a pound
Didnt go out in the dark and cold to group on Tuesday,am going tomorrow morning into town will combine WI and shopping!!
No idea about this week
.Last Friday we had disturbing news. My granddaughter is 35 weeks pregnant. As her first baby was small they have been monitoring her. No weight gain over the last 4 weeks,they were worried that if the baby was not getting nutrients they would have to induce labour,as there would otherwise be a strong chance of a stillbirth. We all had a terrible weekend worrying till they did another scan on Monday and things are alright for now,the baby is very active,but they will do yet another scan on Friday.At least another few days when the baby will perhaps grow a little and get stronger in case they have to induce labour.
As you can imagine my mind has been totally distracted from food plans,will be happy to maintain,as I have been eating any old thing. Binged on 2 bars of Fry's cream in 2 minutes yesterday for instance,and have had nonstop cravings which I have only sporadically repressed.We'll see tomorrow what the damage is🙄🙄
