I've just made the Veggie baked frittata from rowanwitch's recipe. It's really tasty and if you added the parmesan it would be even better. I'll definitely be making that again.

Thank you Rowanwitch.

woops weigh day tomorrow. My lips are sealed.

[rowanwitch]

really struggling with so much else going on... weigh in tonight... fingers crossed I will at least have shifted the half I put on last week..... but lots of birthday do's this week and next...

[JoolsTwo]

My weigh-in is tonight too - Don't feel too optimistic, although I've been sticking to the plan and writing it all down. Still will see later.

[rowanwitch]

4.5 lbs off thats a stone and a half well pleased after last week

[JoolsTwo]

That's brilliant rowanwitch - I lost 2lb this week, better than I thought. So.................Onwards and Downwards.

[xstitcher]

I hang my head in shame and have nothing good to report. We are off to our third and last resturant meal this week tonight and starting tomorrow I'll get back on track.
Oh woe is me.............congrats to all you other fabulous loosers.

[rowanwitch]

well done Jimjools, and don't fret it Xstitcher, you will be reporting a loss next weigh in....

[wendilla]

Hooray back on track 2lbs loss. Well done to Rowanwitch and JimJools. Xstitcher you know I have been struggling since end of January it is very difficult to get back on track. I just say to myself I am not going to undo all the good I have done and I don't want to go back to baggy tops to hide the bulges. Keep with it you will get there you have not kept on this posts for nothing.It shows you are still trying.

[JoolsTwo]

Well done wendilla - xstitcher as wendilla says don't give up on it. I had about a year of dispair because I just couldn't get myself motivated and the weight was going back on. You'll get there.

Onwards and Downwards.

Morning all, I've lost 2lbs this week :o))))

Well done everybody else who has lost weight. I'm sure its just a minor blip Xstitcher x

[TheOtherHalf]

Morning and well done to you all. Ive stayed this same this week which is a bit disappointing as Ive been really good trying to work towards that next stone loss. Ive not been missing meals and have eaten healthily so cannot understand it. Never mind, theres always next week.

Have a good day everyone xx

[boxtops]

I've stayed the same, I'm happy with that for now! Nice when someone says "you've lost weight", isn't it?!

[Marijn]

I've stayed the same again too. Well done to everyone who's lost!

[TheOtherHalf]

It is Boxtops, nice when someone notices. Even my boss noticed the other day and was amazed when I told her how much Id lost. Ive just had to get all new uniforms
Good luck everyone xx

[JoolsTwo]

I'm feeling very fed up tonight I was up 1lb this week so not a happy bunny. I only had 1 day where I wasn't good and went way over my days syns. All the rest of the week I've stuck to it religiously and I've increased my exercise a bit too. So I don't know what went wrong. :-(( Still a new week starts here.

[rowanwitch]

same here...up 1lb lots of us had gains this week ....last time a small gain was followed by a big loss so ~I have my fingers crossed... although I have a stressfull few weeks ahead... nevermind the overall trend is in the right direction onwards and downwards....

[albaqwerty]

Please don't be disheartened if you've stayed the same or gained a little.
I still admire all of you for posting.
Keep going, chin up, and you'll get there. xx

[TheOtherHalf]

I`ll be getting weighed tonight and wont be surprised if Ive stayed the same again. No matter what I do at the moment, nothing seems to be shifting. Fingers crossed anyway.

[xstitcher]

Good Morning Everybody, and congratulations to all our loosers!!! (that sentence would take some explanation on any other link except this!)

To those who are standing still or creeping up again....hang on in there. Perhaps re reading some of our comments will help you get motivated again.

As for myself, I have gone down a tiny bit but that tiny bit really gives me a lot of pleasure.

Onwards and downwards....................
