Going home today! Well, at least taking our first flight, then it's hang out in Amsterdam and arrive tomorrow morning.
Awaiting us at home in Scotland is high winds which did a lot of damage to our area. Hoping we didn't lose a lot of tiles off our roof! They aren't cheap!
Progress as of today: 34 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Uh oh. Wasn't good last night. I've become more and more indulgent the longer I've been here. I needed to stop and remember the pleasure of trying on those smaller clothes. Mexican food last night as my son's family was visiting brother's house after a basketball game. I could have been good but wasn't. 
Funny thing is I feel the weight gain in my boobs - not waistline. My brother's scale says I was 135 first thing this morning but don't know how that compares to mine. If it's accurate that's 2 pounds over my goal weight, although I was about 132 when we came and lost about 4 pounds when I was sick - although it was half fluid I'm sure. 
I've eaten all the porridge so had 2 clementines and 1/2 banana this morning. Time to stop being a pig! I will have either a beer or glass of wine tonight after dinner as we leave tomorrow and I won't treat myself for at least 2 weeks.
Thursday morning I'll get on my scale at home and adjust the tracker as needed.
Never asked anyone to take a photo of me while we were here - I should have. So I'll do an 'after' photo when we're home and get back to 133.
Hope all of you are doing fantastically!

Happy new year ladies! The longer we've been here the more I've indulged. Yesterday I was good until after dinner. Had a beer, a glass of wine, champagne, and some chocolate meant to be eaten with wine.
I've washed my gym clothes so don't intend to get on treadmill today. Tomorrow I'm meeting an internet friend for lunch. We leave for home on Tuesday and although the new smaller clothes I bought when we arrived have not become tight on me, I feel I've got at least 2 or even 3 pounds extra. So it's going to be 1300 cals per day for a couple of weeks at least. No biggie!
Hope you all made it through the holidays without much 'damage'.

Feeling guilty. Don't know why I did it but last night I had some of the leftover cake from the restaurant for brother's birthday and put some of that awesome ice cream on top (2nd serving!).
Going to be good today. Having porridge and raisins for breakfast, smoked turkey sandwich for lunch. No idea what the plans for dinner are.
Getting on the treadmill for an hour as soon as this porridge digests.
Happy new year!! Stay safe if you go out partying!

Hi lovely ladies! 
Hope all is well with everyone.
Got on the treadmill for 30 minutes, quads still sore from that killer spinning class.
Was a bit of a pig yesterday at dinner. Pizza night and I had two huge thick slices of cheese pizza when one would have been enough, and two pieces of bread sprinkled with parmesan, and greek salad. Glass of wine and a beer.
Breakfast today was a whole wheat English muffin with a small amount of peanut butter. Lunch was smoked turkey on wheat bread with full fat mayo as they don't have any low fat in the house. A bit of dark chocolate.
Our usual routine is my brother and his wife go somewhere overnight for their anniversary and we watch the kids - well not really kids anymore as one is nearly 18 and the other nearly 13. Tonight we take the two kids out to Mongolian BBQ and I will try hard to be good and only do one serving, but those unlimited warm tortillas are hard to resist. Will have to watch the 2 kids eat gorgeous desserts and I won't have any. Last year we did the same but I ate a giant dessert.
By the 2 week mark I'm very ready to go home to my own bedroom and kitchen and stuff in its in own spot in the bathroom. We've been here 2 1/2 weeks and go home on Tuesday on an overnight flight.
My youngest granddaughter
Wishing you all a very happy new year and may 2012 be your best year ever!!
Oops, was good at Mongolian BBQ - had one serving of stir fry, 2 torilllas, a beer. However, on the way home we picked up some ice cream and I chose Ben and Jerry's Kama Sutra with vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chips and a thick caramel centre. Pure bliss!! Not stressing. 2 weeks at home at 1300 calories and I'll be where I want, I'm sure.

OMG! I just did a spinning class. My sis in law signed me up to join her in a class. Talk about burning a zillion calories! Never did it before and I did have to sit quite a few times instead of stand but still kept up very well. Wish they had this near me at home.
Big birthday party last night at restaurant....I had one of the onion rings that were appetizers, one small bit of calamari, a beer, a glass of wine. a salad with very little dressing, and main course I had salmon and spinach. The mashed potatoes are made with butter and cream so I had them leave it off. (patting self on back). However, the restaurant is known for their fabulous baked goods and I had a slice of my brother's luscious chocolate birthday cake.
So far today I've had 2 bananas, one before spinning, one after and no idea what I'm eating the rest of the day.
Hope you are doing well!!

Hiya girls!
Everybody doing well I hope.
I ate a bit too much at dinner last night and had been feeling just a wee bit heavier in my belly. I'll still be happy if I just have 2 pounds to lose when I go home next week.
Getting on the treadmill this morning as soon as my porridge is digested.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is healthy and happy!!
Not doing bad with food but I did have 2 glasses of wine and a beer yesterday.
Got on brother's treadmill for an hour today and feel so much better after two weeks of no exercise.
My new size 8 trousers all fit the same so I guess I'm fine.

Whew! Christmas day done. 22 people in a house is exhausting though fun. Good food.
I ate smallish portions of the very fattening stuff like the buttery mashed potatoes and stuffing. However, my niece had brought brownies with Giaridelli chocolate chips in it, my sister had made oatmeal/peanut butter/chocolate chips bars, there was vanilla ice cream, and homemade cheesecake. I skipped the cheesecake.
No workouts yet - been sick or busy or no good place to do it. At brother's for the rest of the visit, so will try to do my tae bo and jump rope in his basement. His lowest weight dumbbells are 15 pounds which is too heavy for me except for one routine.
Still size 8!
Hope you all had a really wonderful holiday!!!

Hi ladies! Feeling a lot better but have some sniffles and dodgy throat but I'll survive. 130 pounds this morning. All the gifts are wrapped, having good grandbaby time. 22 for dinner on xmas.
Back to normal eating. Porridge for breakfast, not so normal lunch - we were at a museum and went to the Oscar Meyer cafe inside. So hot dog, chips and pepsi. Dinner was roast chicken, baked potato, salad, applesauce, grapes. 2 beers.
Busy day tomorrow so if I'm not back on I hope you all
Have a very happy holiday!!
Huge menu Sunday including the desserts - brownies, cookies, a cookie pie, ice cream, cheesecake. Uh huh. I have willpower. Right? Right!?????

Have a safe trip home :) We just had the high winds where I live (South-East England) and though we don't usually have many extreme stormy winds it was wild! It didn't help that it was pouring with rain as well... The worst only lasted a couple of minutes though and then it just decided to rain... and rain... and rain... and then it was extremely sunny and actually got pretty hot! The randomness of British weather... :) Anyway, Sorry because I've been babbling but I really do hope nothing too serious was harmed and have a good flight home :)
