Horace, are you at home during the day? I find it hard to have breakfast first thing but always have it within half an hour of arriving at work. At weekends and on hols though, I could happily skip it so that may be why! It doesn't have to be huge, even a few nuts would do. HTH.

Yes, I work from home, sometimes I just roll out of bed and into my office which is just next door:eek: I do try and get up at 7am and try and start work at 9am, I stop for lunch at 13.40 just before Neighbours starts and have about half an hour, then I carry on. Might watch telly in the evening but then its back to work if I feel like it:D

Am off out tomorrow though, firstly to postbox to post a birthday card, then get in my car and drive to the village to go to the charity shop (taking some stuff) and the bank to pay in a cheque. Then my chum will pick me up at 12 and we'll go for lunch (a treat, I will have something like shepherds pie and veg so that I can have a sandwich for tea).

Lots of walking to be done on Friday too as I go to the chamber of commerce for my fortnightly meeting so I walk miles.

icecubequeen, what a shame about your parcel!!!

Horace, lucky you working from home, what do you do if it's not too nosy a question?

I went for an hour's walk earlier, a friend called round just before I left and came with me. So that's 3 hours' walking today. :T Dinner was quite stodgy though! :eek:

Hi all -thanks for your kind support, love this thread but does make me hungry!

TARA - don't know if i was feb's biggest loser, how would i find that out? (If it's not a silly question - LOL!)

Had a good 'food' day today - but havent done much exercise as daughter went to my parents after school, so no school run for me tonight, but i did take out some avon order's which was about 1/2 an hour's walking, so about he same as school run really!

Hope that everyone is getting on well, and good luck.

Looking forward to my weigh in on friday, hoping for at least 3lb's this week as havent weighed in since 23rd feb (changed from a monday to friday).

Good morning campers!

It's snowing here, that was a bit unexpected! A good day for going to the gym methinks. I'll be doing some stairs too, and hopefully eating v. sensibly! :beer: Here's to a good day for everyone xo

plzhelpmesave!

Morning guys!

Tara - who - you on the stairs??? Who'd have thought it eh? keep it up hun.
LittleMissEmmy - we will be just overweight soon and maybe one day we'll make it to normal :rotfl:

Went to Size Down class yesterday - i was the only one who turned up !! but trainer carried on anyway. TBH mst of what she said we cover on this thread anyway - but may stick with it as another motivation/check in thinga and to properly learn about healthy eating and nutrition.

Having said that, i did no excercise yesterday and i gave in to some reduced cakes at asda and ate 2 small jam scones....yummmy yummy! DRAW A LINE & START AGAIN!!

GOing for lunch today with some friends so will try to get the healthiest thing on the menu.. i feel a jacket potato coming on!

Just had porridge for brekkie and having orange juice rather than my normal cup of tea to aid iron absorption - so she said yesterday!

Have a good day all xx

Hi, thanks for the support re: CHOCOLATE!!!! I really should be able to resist it though. I was not going to buy any 'nice' things to put in the cupboards for the kids and OH, but why should they suffer cause I have no willpower!!
Yesterday I seem to have got a new lease of life, re eating. B was shreddies, L 1 pitta with chicken and cue, D Jacket Potato with beans, dessert spoon coleslaw, dessert spoon cheese and salad. This was under my points so I have gained some back, still slightly over this week, but never mind.
Today B shreddies, L no point veg soup with 1 pitta bread, D not yet decided. Going to get weighed tea time, hopefully STS, fingers crossed.
Have a very big temptation after weigh in, promised the girls McD's for tea, I WILL NOT HAVE ANY!
Dragon - will buy some sugar free jelly, see if that works, thanks.
Have a good day everyone, really should do some work!!!!!!!!!!!
