Crumpets are very yummy:D I'm going to have another one today:D.

mmm crumpets :D

I was super good today and had salad mainly... this is because I am now at my mums and she will make me things I should not have (diet wise not diabetes wise - she's a HCA I have no chance of sneaking cake past her 😛)

It's always good if you have someone to keep you on the straight and narrow. Mark is good at that most of the time but he suddenly changes when I whisper the magic words "takeaway" his favourite words:D. It's not really fair because he can eat anything he wants and stays skinny🙄
 
Pretty lucky that my hubby is willing to eat whatever I cook so long as there is no meat in his 🙂O)! He's actually really happy as he's lost a bit of weight and has hit his target so now he's set a new one! Wish I'd hit mine!

She's already reading me a menu of what I'm having. All my favs that she makes without the desserts anyway!

She's also making me bread to take home with me on weds!

I do love my Mum!
 
Shambles your mum sounds brilliant🙂
 
Today is another yummy plan:D
Crumpet with 1 teaspoon butter
Beef Wellington with stir fried vegetables
Bubbly:D
If I need to snack I will have a packet of WW nachos which are very nice and only two points
 
Oh my Mum is a star - she's struggled with depression this year and has been off sick from work for the last month with some ear thing - labrinitus or something? so I brought her a new kitten today to replace her old Lady who died last year age 19 xx (she was ready - I checked didn't just turn up with it!)
 
Last two weeks diet has gone out of the window as I wasn't feeling too great. I also want to have fun cooking my favourite meals again🙂However this weekend I was really naughty with lots of takeaway pizza and wine. Last night included lots of tortilla chips and dips😱 i cant deny that it was good fun but I dare not weigh myself. I will try to be brave and do that tomorrow. The aim will then be to maintain my weight for a while - if I can stop putting on weight I will class that as a success.
Plan today
WW crumble bar
1 packet WW crisps
Home made beef bourgouine ?(sp)
Possibly one hasselback potato
Home made bread roll
2 small glasses white wine
Vegetable gardening!!🙂
 
Oh I love Beef bourguignon :D (I looked up the spelling hahaha such a cheater!)

Don't stress too much about having a blow out - sometimes that's what we all need and you have a lot going on 🙂 Hope you can maintain for the next few weeks and then look at starting to lose weight again as I know that's your ideal xxx

Still rooting for you! :D
 
Thank you very much Shambles:D. Well done on looking up the correct spelling:D
 
Well done for getting back on track. I know it's hard, especially in view of all the other 'stuff' that you're coping with.

Here's a suggestion that could be useful if you have electronic bathroom scales... switch over to metric, which will make the result just a number. When your clothes tell you you're back to where you were, switch back to imperial. Psychology works!
 
Thanks LeeLee. Yesterday was great during the day but this morning started off badly due to a "feed me" hypo but I'm going for a walk later so that should help🙂
 
I finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself today, worried that I'd put on all of the 12 pounds that I'd lost. I've actually only put on three pounds which I'm very pleased with as it means that I've kept off nine pounds. Now I need to keep the weight stable🙂

That's great Amanda! 🙂
 
Thank you Alan. With a little bit of luck my newly relaxed lifestyle will mean that I gradually lose a bit more weight🙂
 
If you take things gently, maybe averaging half a lb per week, it won't feel like too much of an effort. Keep at it!

My daughter is starting back with Slimming World tomorrow. She's finding it hard to lose her baby weight because breastfeeding (a) makes her very hungry and (b) takes up a large chunk of her day, reducing the time she can spend cooking good food. She has been losing about half a lb per week, co-incidentally (or maybe not) the amount that Lucas has been gaining!
 
Thank you LeeLee and Shambles xx
 
I'm back again. Good thing about not being too well is reduced appetite:D Just re-enrolled with WW and at 14st 6lb I weigh 5lbs more than I did at the beginning of June but less than I did this time last year🙂. WW and writing on here has definitely helped me to lose weight before so here I go again. Goal by the end of the year is 10 st 12 lb which is approx 1lb per week.

Plan for today:
4 gluten free oatcakes with 30g Philadelphia cheese
1 Thorntons Continental chocolate
Dinner: Chicken with honey & mustard sauce, 4 small hasselback potatoes and asparagus wrapped in parm ham
No alcohol
That leaves me with 9 spare WW points but I'm not sure if I will use them
