    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks! :)

    I have had my yog and fruit for breakfast and my salad for lunch, also went to the gym and burned 300 cals (actually ran for 27 minutes non-stop which I haven't managed in a while!! :D). I'm getting a little peckish now, although it's mouth hunger and not stomach hunger. So I will ignore it, drink some more water and I have 2 peaches on standby if it persists! I am feeling more organised this week, for definite. Buying more fruit is costing me a little more on food but it will be worth it if it helps me lose weight.

    Dinner tonight will be something v. light such as HM soup as OH is going out straight from work and won't be home till late.

    I still miss chocolate though...

    Oh dear. Its the wedding on saturday that I am bridesmaid at. The bride has invited us round this evening for pizza, crisps & dip & wine...... And I suspect some bridesmaid type task like making a thousand fiddly favour boxes :mad:

    Oh I love her really, but can see me eating a ton of crisps :p

    On Friday I am going to celebrate dieting for 1 week by having a small kitkat, only 101 calories apparently!
    On the downside I have caught the kids lurgy and feel horrendous so I am definitely not exercising tonight, I have nearly lost my voice and it burns when I breathe.

    Sorry to hear you are unwell but well done for doing well this week. At least if your throat is hurting, you cannot eat too much lol!! Get better soon and thanks for the kitkat 101 calories tip :)

    Evening everyone! Not been on for a few days, been really busy.
    Well done to everyone who has lost this week, I weigh in tomorrow and feeling quietly confident that I haven't put on! Hoping for 2lb's this week which will take my total loss to 1st!!!! Shouldn't get too hopeful or I may be disappointed. We'll see.
    I think all the exercise you do is brilliant. I just can't get motivated on that though. I walk when i can, but other than normal stuff like housework, up and down the stairs, I don't do anything else. I really need to make an effort.
    Will post tom night when I have been for the weigh in.
    Now off for an early night, sleep tight.
    Taffy x
    Need to sort my life out! :T

    taffy, if you lose 1st without even exercising, just think how effective it will be when you do! :D Good luck with your weigh in.

    kjmtidea and Dragon, sorry to hear you're feeling unwell, hope you both feel better soon. Dragon, well on joining RC, keep us posted!!!

    I ate a rather large amount of full fat Greek yog this evening, oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

    Morning all, the thread is very quiet today!

    I had a bad start to the morning foodwise, had a scone for breakfast with butter and jam!! Noooooooooooooo :eek:

    I weighed in at 60.9kg, half a pound up from yesterday... BUT my legs are looking more toned, my middle is less flabby and my work suit trousers are starting to fit me a lot better!! :D I won't get much exercise in today (probably just an hour's walk to/from work and a few flights of stairs) but will be back to the gym tomorrow. Going every other day is all I can manage at the mo so I will pace myself.

    Here's to a great day for all of us. :T
