Awwww man so much to catch up on! I guess i should start appologising for all the typos to come and if my posts are all over the place as I'll be going back through the thread to catch up on everyone! I'll start by checking in on my weight loss on Monday where I recorded a loss of 600g Not bad considering I couldn't do any excercise. I weighted myself of Sunday actualy as I feeling particularly light and i had lost a huge 1.3kg's then had a glass of wine Sunday night and no surpirses but I was retaining fluid and my recorded weight loss for this week is less. Plus af has arrived so that wouldn't have helped things either.

Mildez What's going on with your bub hon? Hope everythings ok? I didn't end up doing any of the things I said I was going to such a slacker! I filled in the food diary for about 2 days and I didn't even add everything up! I just haven't had time. Doesn't it suck when your partner doesn't have a weight problem and expects you to be thin especially when they aren't supportive. I know how lucky I am! Re the workout I totally think house work is a workout. In fact I often wonder how much people could get done if instead of going to the gym they did 'real' things like build a cubby house, landscape the garden, paint the house, scrub floors etc. I guess that's why laborious have hot bods lol

Danielle I noticed that fizzy drinks are a fav of yours, have you tried mineral water In a fresh fruit juice (if you have a juicer) or add lemon and lime juice to it with Some fresh fruit chunks like a punch Bummer on the gain this week. Don't give up Though!

Dale to the weight loss thread and BB! Congrats on your huge 1st week weight loss. I also have a male/female name as do my brother and sister. Not sure why it turned out that way though? I also need to up my water. A trick I used to do years ago was make up warm tea and put it into either a 500g bottle or a 1tr bottle (glass bottles) for 1 it was like a hot water bottle in winter and 2 it was soooo easy to drink my water intake for the day. I used to make up a number of different things, lemon water, soda a bit of fennel in water (great for fluid retention) or peppermint, green, rosehip, camomile tea etc I really should start doing that again!

belfie my naught friend I am just the same lol when I am about to be good I have to finish the naughty stuff 1st, if it's in the house I will just end up eating it anyway. I'm back to my old rule of not having any naught food inthe house but if I really want somethign then I can go out and get it. I find that works well. Oh and I have hot chocolate in the pantry for a JIC cho craving as I know I can control myself around hot chocolate.
