Hi DC,
Attached is a link:-

I tried this with a few friends a good while back and we all lost over 5lb each in three days. I think it is a good way of kicking off your metabolism when weight loss has slowed right down.
The good thing is, it is not very expensive, and you don't feel too hungry on it, and it's over before too long. Plus there is the ice cream to look forward to ....
It's not so good if you don't like the food on it though. Fortunately I am a fan of beetroot, tuna, TUC crackers and ice cream etc.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -

Well, routine is changing for the next few weeks, so need to be exceptionally organised, but extra money will be welcome.
Have quite a number of mystery shops lined up for evenings and weekends, so will need to keep on top of those too.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
WOW! GO SCROOGE!!!
I've been in procrastination hiding for the past few weeks, so not been near this board at all, but I'm extremely impressed. I really wish I could promise to update daily as well, but I know I'd just not find the time. But I'm definitely going to make more effort.
Keep going Scrooge, you're really doing all of us (that signed up on the first page and have given up since) very proud!0 -
Thanks pandapaws, I have just come back from a lovely few days at Legoland in Denmark, with the family, and I am feeling very relaxed.
I managed to keep within my budget for the trip, but I confess to eating and drinking far more than I should have done and cancelling the gym class that I was supposed to attend tonight.
But, thanks for your encouragement. I WILL POST TOMORROW AND GET BACK ON PLAN. I PROMISE.
I have to confess September seems to have lasted forever. But I will be successful!I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -

Enjoyed today, DS doing very well at school and I have just about finished Day 1 of BHF diet, without feeling hungry at all.
Also spent a few hours at work on module one of the course, so I am now on target for getting that finished before month end.
Picked up a great mystery shop for next weekend too. Manicure and pedicure at local spa, which I am really looking forward to.
Off to gym for Body pump, after the hungry hoards have been fed!I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
