Onwards and Downwards Continues IN October

Halloween is on the way with all the trick or treating and temptation!

Why not try handing out some healthy treats like raisins, apples or homemade biscuits to the kids this year?

Here is last months thread

3 lb ! Wow, a goal for me to try to match then. Pity about this morning's reading then; we'll not go into details.

Congrats to all who dropped this week then.

[xstitcher]

Do you want to join Wendilla and myself on the naughty step OG?

[Old_Geezer]

Very tempting ;-) but I'm blaming the scales again for now. Have to see where I am Wednesday.

[xstitcher]

Good Morning All,

It's much too early to be able to say anything except.....still the same, can't complain.

[Old_Geezer]

Just down ¼ on the week. :-(
Still I suppose better than ¼ up.

[wendilla]

You and I both Xstitcher. I am blaming the batteries.Keep forgetting to get new ones.
Oldgeezer yes better down than up
I am going out for a banquet chinese meal on Thursday and diet will go right over my head but I will get down to it starting Friday.Got to get nearly a stone off before xmas.

[Jan1957]

At least none of you gained so don't lose heart. Can I shout now though cos I lost 4LB this week, making a total of 2st 3lb now. Very pleased with that and am determined to keep it up.

[wendilla]

Well done Jan you are putting us all to shame.Keep up the good work .

[xstitcher]

Yes Jan you may shout very loudly and we will shout back, well done you!

A little bird has told me that our Wendilla is having a birthday soon and the Chinese food she is telling us about is because of her birthday.....so eat up
Wendilla the weigh in is a week away and a very Happy Birthday

[Old_Geezer]

I'd congratulate but I'm too weak from hunger :-)
Actually I am ravenous, but so near time to go home I'm resisting everything for now.

[xstitcher]

Oh dear OG you are definitley speaking my language at the moment.

Can't say anything positive but hope you get over it......I have problems with my children today so am not feeling good at all. My better half isn't the father so no help there.

[Jan1957]

Thanks all. I think you're allowed to have a treat on your birthday so enjoy your chinese Wendilla. I've had a couple of hiccups where I've put on and then stayed the same but am now filling up on fruit and veg when I'm hungry and it seems to be working. Just need to keep it up.

[wendilla]

Jan I did well last year from June till October when Xstitcher started all this about last June I lost 2 st and 3 lbs but I need to get this other stone off and I am just stuck but will get back to it in ernest . Thank you for birthday wishes. My birthday is Saturday but it is more covenient on the Thursday to go out due to childrens work hours.

[wendilla]

Thank you Xstitcher for the birthday wishes.

Happy belated birthday Wendilla xxx

I'm weighing in tomorrow (if I remember that is).

[xstitcher]

More power to you tomorrow tigerblue. It seems my overseas Iceland has stopped stocking the low fat cheddar that I used to use in cooking now and then and they haven't put anything else in to replace it. Does anybody know if citrus fruit are bad to eat if trying to loose weight? I just heard the tail end of something on the telly today about being beware of citrus fruits...hmmmm

[tiggerblue10]

No idea about the citrus fruit thing Xstitcher, seem quite an odd notion though.

Remembered to weigh myself this morning and I've lost 1.5lb this week. Woohoo! Another 1lb and I will have lost 4st.

[Jan1957]

Well done tigger. Here's hoping that 1lb comes soon but you've done really well so far.

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks Jan, its taken me nearly a year but its good timing just near to Xmas :o)

[wendilla]

Well done Tigger. Thanks for birthday wishes it is actually today but went out for chinese banquet with family on Thursday and it was a banquet and tonight I am going friends and have drinks and takeaway then will get back to basics. Too much playing around these last few months staying the same need a stone off then I will be ok .
