Thursday Week 16 Weigh day

Been to get weighed tonight, Both my wife & I lost 4lb each this week. Could this be the start of the decline in my weight loss?? 4lb, I suppose it's not bad considering I did 8 last week.
I have based my estimated end date on 3 weeks to lose a stone, This takes me up to mid September though deep down I would love to exceed that target by quite a few weeks!!

I did exceed my birthday challenge, I set myself a goal of reaching 18 Stone by my birthday at the end of May, well with 1 1/2 weeks to go I am already 4lb below that target!! Yippee

At my counsellors tonight it was fairly busy with people, not helped by my wife and I standing around nattering, anyway I bumped into Clare (who I mentioned last night) and she brought with her to the counsellors a frothy milkshake mixer, so the whole group of us watched whilst she demonstrated frothing a butterscotch CD shake, Well this thing sure did aerate the mixture, doubling the normal volume you would expect with a hand blender. Everyone then sampled the shake which was very much lighter and fluffy, well worth a go!!
I purchased some Mix a Mousse tonight and some water flavouring, I have not had any of these before but having read an article on Minimins forum decided I fancied making some jelly!! its just water, mix a mousse (which is a powdered gelatine) and powdered water flavouring. My first attempt ended up with a chewing gum type texture wrapped around the stick blender. So I chucked it all in the food processor with another scoop of the mix a mousse and have now got something in the fridge that represents jelly at the bottom with a thick layer of set froth on the top! I will let you know what it tastes like, in theory it should be berry fruit flavour jelly!! and its allowed in addition to my normal CD meals!!

A quick hi to my parents, if they manage to catch up on my blog at an internet cafe or similar whilst touring the Canadian Rockies!! ( I didn't do the watering tonight, its been peeing down for the last 2 days!!) lucky buggers! They might try to see tonights post knowing its weigh day.
