Dea Xxx

I lost 30 pounds last year.














I was hassled and forgot to take it out of the ATM :-D :-D :-D

OOOhhhh Bless Sylvia !! - I remember that day very well, though not as well as you and your family, obviously !!!

Glad you had a little lie in this morning and hope OH makes good porridge! :-D

Dea Xxx

I lost 5 lbs in one day last September



but I wouldn't recommend that method of weight loss :-D :-D :-D

Hi all
xxx

so I went back to bed for another hour


then persuaded OH to make porridge for breakfast :-)




s

But NOT forgotten !!! :-D

Dea Xxx

Gorn.

And everyone is????

Yep, thats right Mr J

I didn’t believe the scales when I lost 2lb and .5lb as when I have lost weight before, I normally have about a 6lb loss in the first week

So that’s why I didn’t believe what they were registering, that said, I had to accept it so I sure as hell am going to accept the reading this morning!

Interestingly, JB has about the same weight loss to date and the scales said he had put 2lb on in his first week!

Need to go and buy some Seca’s, caus if Monday morning comes and I have put weight on, the scales will be exiting via the bathroom window

If I remember correctly Gin your reported weight loss was 2lbs during week 1 and 0.5lb during week 2. Now 5 days later your scales are indicating a total weight loss of 10lbs which if accurate means that you have lost 7.5lbs between Monday morning and Saturday morning.

Have you checked your extremities to make sure that nothing has dropped off? ;-)

Im still not convinced the scales are right Dea. If I get time today, I will go get some Seca's

Wow Ginns - That is amazing !!!

You must be very pleased :-D :-D

Keep up the good work !

Dea Xxx

P.S. - I notice you are not blaming the scales for this one !! :-D :-D ;-)

Dea x
