    Hiya Emmylou and Kmac, Emmylou well done with the 2lb drop woooo hoooo.

    I have my spending under better control, infact I am becoming quite a skinflint. My eating is way off the wall. I have now hit the 200lb mark, but now thet I am back in the real world (computerland) i will get that sorted. i have done a lot of sitting in front of tv, mindlesy munching and watching.

    where is everyone ? lets see what we can do to get back in the swing. Well you dont need to get in the the swing. you's have been posting faithfully, big kiss n hug, sorry for leaving you's

    Good Morning, Getting it off is never realy a problem for me. when I do it properly the weight does come off. The problem i have is keeping at it. :confused: I just stop doing it. which is all very strange, as i really want the weight off. Maybe deep down I dont wan to to lose weight :eek: :eek: :eek: I just keep sabotaging ? spelt wrong im sure, myself ????.

    hiya snow only lasted for 1 day here. I booked a cottage in sterling yesterday and we will be visiting surrounding area's. We up Scotland in august :j I'm looking forward to it.

    You will get back on track, just think of your summer clothes, thats what is keeping me going at the moment.

    Sterling is a lovely wee place, you really need to go to the Castle and you are not all that far from Edinburgh so should come here and do some fun things and with all the walking you'll be doing more LBS will drop off!

    I set myself a new aim last week, I want to save £20k by the time I am 27 so I worked out that with £500 monthly put aside I'll make £17k and I'll get the £3k from sves that I have (but cannot touch). Any ideas how to raise some money to help my £500 month target?! xx

  • Kmac - only the usual ebay anything u dont use/want/need or carboots. Also mystery shops help a fair bit.

    Did the walk home from uni today so 2.5 miles ish i walked today. Not great but better than my recent lack of walking. Not fantastic food wise had a packet of walkers baked crisps (so about 140 cals) a mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini followed by a blueberry muffin. Doh. Very healthy dinner required me thinks!

    I'm slightly scared of Ebay... never really used it before and dont get access to it at work so I'd prob do something wrong. I might give the myster shopping a go though, could do that on a Thursday after work on a Sat before job number 2.

    Well done on the walk, its a good way to get back into things plus if you think that walk burn off some of the calories consumed by what sounds like a very yummy lunch!!

    What are you doing at Uni? xx

    Hi Girls,

    Not been on this thread much as it seemed as if everyone had left it!!! I'll pop in now and again as I might be busy, I've got a job (eventually), a sales rep, the money isn't great but the perks are good (company car etc), so will come on when I can.

    Glad to see that you are all doing okay, keep up the good work!! xx
