Go Ailuro! really proud of you hun and happy that youre losing a good, regular amount and doing it all the right way. Keep meaning to ask hubby to pick up some BN from Lidl - 50p at the moment so I can do some more chips! only did them once and they were delish...
I was late for aquacise today and they wouldnt let me in so no proper excercise today YET - other than sweeping the drive and cleaning front doow and patio doors and windows - might mop the flooring as well!
Ended up taking kids to bonfire nite yesterday with a friend, and cos it was so cold and we were starving we got a blooming chicken and chips on the way home! havent pointed it yet - wonder why???!
Being good today - porridge and having leftover stir fry for lunch in a minute.
Any other friday WIs??0 -
Well done ailuro2, you're doing fabulously well! Has anyone noticed yet? Absolutely nobody has commented about my loss so far - surely a stone off has to show, doesn't it?

I'm having BNS chips for dinner tonight

No one has noticed - but you can see from the picture I posted that a stone for me isn't so much compared to a stone for someone who is only 9 or 10 stone to begin with.:o
The 'new' work trousers that are getting baggy look exactly the same as the old trousers, so I doubt anyone would notice. I work in a factory full of men mostly, they don't see me everyday to talk to, so they're not going to notice anything until my boobs disappear:rotfl: and even then they'd probably not mention it.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

Aww ailuro2 you're too hard on yourself! How much do you plan/hope to lose in total?0

I'm not really thinking in numbers of stones. That's just too much.
I'm going to keep going for this three month trial, then see where I am after that. Yes it will take more than a three month diet to get my BMI to healthy, but one nibble at a time is the way to go for me!:DMember of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

off to a Martial arts tournament today, not competing this time, but DD is. Have taken a normal packed lunch for both of us, normally we go with enough food to last a week and come home with nothing!

well done Ailuro for making the lunches - our Martin would be proud too! good luck to your DD today!
well my TOTM has officially started - finally!! good thing about it is I spend a lot of time on the loo with dodgy tummy! Bad thing is a very sweet tooth, which I indulged yesterday.... a whole bounty, a WW chocolate bar and a brownie and 2 packs of chilli & lemon crisps - yummmmmy!!
But am gonna add them all to the tracker as I knew TOTM was coming and that I would be using up more points, so I took the kids with me yesterday for a walk and to do some shopping bits - took us 2 hours so got some activity points at least!
Will also be having a low point day today to make up and doing some Wii Fit and household cleaning so more actiivity points - rather than just eating chocolate all day - tbh there is no more choc in the house other than my WW chocolate cake slices! House is a tip so lots of cleaning = lots of activity points!
had my weetabix for brekkie, soup for lunch and roasted veg and fish for dinner. Also gonna try and make a few dishes to prepare for the week ahead -optimistic eh?/
have a good sunday everyone xx0 -
Feeling a little nervous about Monday WI tomorrow... the weekend was a bit mixed. Wish me luck (and good luck to all the other Monday peeps)!
