    Have taken the plunge and signed up for NutraCheck for three months. I had better lose weight on this plan! I do like seeing smiley faces and ticks when I have done well though....I'm such a child :D
  • Hope it works for you FF. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a failure junkie. My eating hadn't been too bad for the past couple of weeks but the minute I decide I need to start counting calories and that's it, I just rebelled and ate a whole 4-pack of muffins (250 calories each) and so far today I've had an Easter egg and two bags of crisps! Think I'll just try and work on self-esteem and ways to hide a tubby tummy
    Start Date: 27/11/2010

    On Day One it appears as though I consumed 334 less calories than allocated, plus I burned another 118, soI was minus 452 for the day, which is good. I was rampagingly hungry when I woke up on Wednesday though - apples are just not food enough it appears.

    Eating apples makes you hungry. Fact.* :cool:


    *It's actully more like the HB theory of eating apples but saying fact at the end makes it true. Fact. ;)

    I agree about apples making you hungry. I'm always fine until I have an apple...

    Wahoo! Just converted another Toluna voucher into £15 of Amazon vouchers - shame the damn things take 8 weeks to arrive :mad:

    Portion control is again proving to be an issue with me. I entered tonights dinner into the online thingie and thought "50g of pasta sounds like a reasonable amount for one person, that will do nicely" (Mr Fresian is out and about) Turns out it's tiny.

    100g on the other hand is fricking loads...

    Oh God, now I have to go and look at that diet thingie, I keep telling myself I am going on the healthy eating and "will start on Monday", but just never get round to it. I really need to go back to Slimming World classes, but I am saving for a holiday and gruding the money..............so watching your progress with interest! Good luck.

    Nice win there F_F!

    No doubt your weight busting will be equally successful as your debt busting.....which means you will be doubly-inspiring!
    I do not make mistakes, I learn lessons.
    I work to live, not live to work.
    I love to live & live to love.
    Good enough is exactly that.

    Evening internets :D

    Nanny McPhee is fab. Not as good as the first one in my opinion, but worth a watch nonetheless. I did enjoy the pigs doing synchronised swimming!

    I'm off to bed now as tomorrow I have overtime to do (Bah. Have to take it when it's offered I suppose...) and then myself and Mr Fresian are off for a tootle in the country with Scraps (She's the car, in case you've forgotten)

    Night all :)
