So, this past four months, is that when the relationship angst kicked in?

It's hard to measure really. I guess the turning point between things being a bit hard work but the good bits being wonderful and everything being broken was the last week in May, so that's less than four months ago really.

Some of it was just letting myself go a bit mad when I reached my target weight, that's certainly where the first half stone gain came from. Some of it has just been the hectic social life making it hard to be careful, but yeah I think being miserable had a fair bit of effect. Too many days when I just ate what I felt like because it was easier and picked things I knew were bad because I needed cheering up. Not that it helped.

It was 4 weeks or so ago that I decided to really do something about it, and you can see I lost a bit then and have more or less stayed the same since, it really does show on those graphs. It's just been too busy to do better than that, too many parties and meals out and things. Should be a bit quieter from now I hope. And I am a bit less unhappy than I was too.

I'm glad you're less unhappy. And I'm going to come to you in January, you know, for advice!

As it is, I put on 4lbs over the last 3 weeks, apparently. I now weigh 10st 13lbs. I still have, oh, ten weeks to go, and they say roughly a pound a week at this stage...

less unhappy> I think a bit of me just finally let go. I'm still not great, nowhere near, but I'll do. Need a rest really, but never mind.

advice> well I'm not doing terribly well at the moment, but you're welcome to ask

weight> you're still going to weigh less than me by the time davsay is born at this rate!

Wish I had time to say hi while I'm up in wet yorks at the w/e, but I doubt it's do-able unfortunately.

weight: If we're both putting on at a pound a week I'll still be heavier than you! Sorry, you don't get to win this one!

We'll be in Wet Yorks for the foreseeable future, so don't worry about not getting the chance to say hi this time.

Um, given I'm already nearly a stone heavier than you, if we both put on weight at the same rate I win. If I stay the same and you put on ten pounds I win. I need to lose at least 4 pounds for you to win.

*hopefully* I'll manage that, but not guarantees.

Bugger. You're right. I keep seeing the bit about 10st7 and thinking that's where you are now, in which case I'm heavier. It's your target. I'm not good at numbers, you know!

Well, I have my fingers crossed that I win. Taken out of context, that could sound terribly selfish!
