    Evening everyone - DS almost completely back to normal, although he is still reluctant to eat.

    Have a phone tutorial next week with my tutor and she has given me a fair bit to do for then so that will keep me out of trouble for a bit!

    First weigh in tomorrow so wish me luck.

    I am back to paying a fiver a day off my MBNA card on top of anything else I can scrape together. Getting really frustrated because its not going down as quick as I would like.

    Hope everyone is ok x x x

    Good luck with the weigh in and the phone tutorial all exciting stuff.Well done on the MBNA ..don't knock yourself as £5 per day is a lot over a month.

    Penguin, you are doing really well £5 per day on a 30 day month = £150, that's a nice amount to knock off.

    Evening everyone - have made a few payments on debts today so was nice to be able to update the snowball for a change!

    Had my first weigh in today and I lost 10lbs! Feeling very motivated now - yeay!

    Going to sit down tonight and work out the rest of the money for the month and see what I can throw at MBNA - cant wait to get rid of them

    Hope everyone has had a good day - see you all later x x

    Well done on the weight loss Penguin :T that's a fantastic start.

    The extra MBNA payments sound really positive also, the balance will soon start to tumble.
    Pleased to hear that DS is feeling better.

    Thank you everyone!

    Mum - my diet was soooo bad before - I think that is why the weight loss for this week was so high! Ive had no takeaways, no ready meals, no crisps or cakes and no white bread and these were a major part of my diet!

    To be honest its been quite tiring cooking full meals each night but at least it was worth it - really determined this time. This is the 3rd time I have been to Slimming World but I feel different about it this time if that makes sense - cheesy I know !
