    Dragon, big hugs. I've been MIA and haven't caught up on the 50+ pages i've missed but whatever it is, sending you be-strong-wishes.

    Not looking good here either - i have been suffering with extra hungry pangs for the last 2 weeks and i can feels the pounds piling back on! Back to a neutral position.

    So goal for this week is to get to the gym at least twice.

    Anyone free to give me a boot?

    I think I need to join you all.

    I can't do diets, won't do diets and enjoy home cooking too much. I'm a stickler for pudding and custard so this really will be interesting to see if I can shift my weight but still home cook and not deprive myself of anything.

    It's a 2 prong plan:

    move!
    side plate portions.

    Also I'll be eating a potato at bedtime as per Potatoes Not Prozac. I'm finding it helps my serotonin levels.

    Hi All

    Trying hard to be really good today, I have signed myself up for the grocery challenge again after quite a long absence so not only am I trying to get my body in shape but also my bank balance. Unfortunately exercise has been given a miss as I have been sitting most of the afternoon at the computer updating spreadsheets and getting some ideas from the £7.00 a week thread.

    Anyway todays menu =
    B – Dry-fried Egg in a roll
    L – Butternut Squash Soup, Toast
    D – Fish Fingers (don’t you just crave these sometimes :o) Brussels Sprouts, Carrots & Sweetcorn
    S – Fresh Pineapple

    I am trying out having a bigger breakfast to hopefully stop me feeling so hungry during the day thus (hopefully) avoiding snacks

    I never quite understand how my body works regarding breakfast. When I worked full time I found the days I didn't have time for breakfast other than a couple of cups of coffee I could last until lunchtime before getting really hungry, but now some mornings I waken up ravenous, have breakfast and then am starting to get hungry again by 11.30, what the......:eek: :eek:

    The more the merrier Coxy :T:T:T

    We are currently doing a Christmas challenge:santa2::santa2::santa2:

    The Dragon is our esteemed leader. She collates all the losses, STS (very important) and gains each week. We generally weigh-in on a Friday but it could be Saturday or any day really. If you have a think about a realistic weight loss between now and Christmas - I think it is about 8 weeks :eek::eek::eek:

    We mark our goals in red and weigh-ins too.

    We are a very friendly bunch:j:j:j
    Thanks for the welcome, I'd like to go for 5lbs off by Christmas (baby steps :o)

    (I have a Coxes espalier on my garden wall, it grows the biggest eating apples I've ever seen, more like Bramleys. Bet you're nowhere near as fat and round as my Coxes!)

    S - 1 x pink and white, 1 apple
    L - He!nz mulligatawny soup
    S - bag of crisps (gave blood and had to have a snack at the clinic ;))
    D - beef casserole, lots of carrot, swede, celery, leek, sml portion mashed potato (and no dumplings for me :A)

    Have a good evening everyone.

    Hello everyone, :hello:

    Apologies for being MIA for the last week; it didn't seem worth trying to keep track while I had little control over my diet.
    Having now arrived at the other end of my journey, it's time to start being a bit stricter again.

    Yesterday:
    B - 2 x wm toast, butter, marmite, tea.
    L - Smoked salmon & pringle sandwich.
    D - 3 x tea.
    S - 2 x chocolate euros. :o

    Today:
    B - 2 x wm toast, butter, marmite, tea.
    L - 4 x tea (over two hours).
    D - Small baked spud with parmesan, baked onion, baked sausage.
    S - nothing.

    Hopefully I'll be able to get out and do some shopping on Friday, though with any luck the rain will let up enough to do a bit of fruit scrumping before then!

    I feel like today has been much better - at least, I've been more in control!

    b- cereal, skim milk, oj
    l- salad with tuna and beans from a tin + a bit of feta, rocky bar
    d- pork chop, 1 small potato, ratatuoille
    e- walking the dog - nice longer walk after lunch!

    Ms Dragon, good to hear your atos trouble is sorted for now
    Robin, hope the move went well.
    Welcome Coxy and Betty. It's nice here
