    I'm starting tomorrow but for 2010 I'd like to lose 53lbs...

    Went shopping yesterday with DH and bought some healthy food - part of 2010 finance challenge I'm only spending cash this year and not whipping out the cards everytime I go shopping (well I'm not actually taking the cards out with me this year). Have looked through the WW cookbook for recipe ideas and I reckon we'll be bulking up with LOTS of VEG at mealtimes.

    Just checked and when I lose my 53lbs, I'll have a bmi of 24!!!!!

    Morning all
    Can I join too? I have no idea what I weigh as I don't keep scales in the house, but will weigh myself tomorrow after work and confess all the damage that the xmas festivities have done..
    I will aim for 1 stone weight loss for the next three months please! Maybe then I'll be able to wear some of the clothes in my wardrobe..:o

    Oh and whose trying to cut out the lattes??

    Switch to a skinny cap instead - saves about 120 calories on a normal sized one in starbucks or more if its venti :)

    If you like coffee and want to be really good (i.e. have you treats elsewhere) then black filter coffee is 2 calories per mug :D
