Oh dear Ann, that's happened to me before, it's frustrating, but what you may find, well hopefully find, is that you will have a bigger weight loss next week. Not all bad though, you didn't put on. Don't despair though, you did well :-D

How's everyone doing?

I've followed the diet well, but I'm not sure I have lost weight, I think I may have not eaten enough, haven't really felt like it, and I have eaten so much fruit, and although SW diet says it is free, before when I've eaten a vast amount I don't lose weight, but I do feel good, so that's a big bonus. I'm away for a few days next week, so it won't be easy, as you never know what is added to your food. I will be be at a spa for a day, so I hope that takes off what I may of put on :-D

well I've been good yet again but thoughts of dieting went right out of the window with a bang cos on Wednesay evening after I'd weighed in to find I stayed the same :-S, I had to dash off to our local hospial to meet up with my best pal who's husband was in dire straits and sadly at just after midnight he died aged 67 - at least we got there just in time - five minutes after we arrived- absolutely gutwrenching - I've known him nearly as long as she has - she goes to SW too, but of course who cares about that now

Yesterday was end of week one and I weigh the same as when I started. I suppose it could be worse and my weight could have gone up. I too have eaten a lot of fruit but a lot of it is full of natural sugar.

It has been and still is so hot here. I only walked twice in the past week when it needs to be every day. I also think that I have signs of water retention due to the heat I need to drink more water as I hardly drink any at all.

I will stick with it. My daughter and grand daughter arrive next Saturday so the kitchen will be full of things that I don't usually buy. :-(

You're right Ann, with a week like you've had dieting is the last thing on your mind, but you never know you may well have lost, hope so. :-)

TS I haven't walked as much as I said I would, blame Wimbledon for that, matches went on for hours, and I just can't miss my tennis ;-)
I don't like water, never have, but I am now buying sparkling water, I make myself believe it's lemonade :-D I'm even getting to quite like it. :-D

Keep it up Ladies, we could be a stone lighter by September :-D

Im sorry to hear about your Pals husband Ann.

I lost 1.3/4 lbs this week. Well I weighed on Saturday am and then had a friends BBQ last night so it could be more now. I always weigh on a Saturday morning. In total since June 4th I have lost 7.3/4lbs and prior to that 4lbs in three months! so nearly 12lbs in total.

I tried sparkling water Lynda. Its nice from the fridge and makes a change. I have tried some of the herbal teas. I like the lemon and ginger one best. They can be an acquired taste.

Back tomorrow.

Teresa :-)

You're doing really well Teresa, well done :-D I'm not a lover of herbal anything really, just the smells put e off, but maybe I will have to give a herbal tea a go, supposedly, once you've eaten, or drunk something for 4 weeks, you get to like it , I don't know about that, I couldn't even bring myself to even tast eels yuk:-D

Well done Theresa, when I do drink water usually because I'm driving, I always have sparkling with a slice or two of lemon in it

Hi TS. I will try the lemon and ice, its really hot here at the moment and it sounds nice and refreshing. Off now to watch the latest episode of the White Queen.

Perhaps in a couple of weeks we can add up our losses, and see how much weight we've shed, as a group, after a couple of months, we may well be able to make a little person :-D
