Pound for a Pound!!

One trick I tried before and worked well was.... chewing gum.
If I had the need for nibbles in between meals or when watching the TV in the evening I'd pop a piece of chewing gum in. It gives your jaws something to do, it helps saliva production (good for a healthy mouth) and as it's mint flavoured - crisps just don't taste the same after gum!!!! A friend of mine cleans her teeth as it does the 'mint' thing too.

Can I join in too?? Hope I'm not too late.

I'm not going to start officially until the 9th Aug as I'll be on holiday until then. I have approx 4 stone to lose and hopefully alot to gain! (sorry don't know what that is in lbs or £'s )

I'll do my first weigh in on the 9th and will post my exact target then as no doubt I'll have a few extra pounds to lose from the holiday :rolleyes: .

My action plan to shift the pounds:-

• Half my portions
• Eat less rubbish and eat more fruit/veg
• Exercise more (Got a bike and just brought a treadmill off e-Bay- so I've got no excuses to move my big bum :rotfl: )
• Drinking loads of water (I don't drink enough)

I also will be looking for a jar to put my £'s in and will put this towards some new clothes that I might need!

I wish you all loads of luck for this week and look forward to joining you next week!

Thanks for adding me Toffee! Can't wait to start this challenge, I've tried before and fallen off the rails so I'm hoping with the support from this thread I will do alot better than I have in the past.

I'm off to London on Sunday with my DS, he's never been before so we are doing all the sights etc and I'm taking him on a sadium tour of his beloved chelsea - its a surprise he dosn't know yet :shhh: !. I don't know whose more excited me or him - sad I know .
