    Thanks, hopefully I'll keep it up this time :o just 1lb to put me back to my pre-xmas weight.

    Mr Toto has also been on weight watchers this week and has lost 10lbs!!

    It'll all slow down now though, probably back to the 1lb a week slog.

    :j I am pleased to report that I have lost 1lb! :j

    Measurements are also down:-

    Bust: 37 inches from 38
    Waist: 29 inches from 30
    Hips: 39.5 inches from 40

    I'm quite surprised with myself since I have had a few bad days & have barely done any exercise...for example on Thursday, work treated me to a free lunch - usually it's a buffet so I figured I'd be fine, just pick the salad sandwiches, leave the crisps & have the fruit, etc etc, but it turned out to be Domino's pizza :eek: (A weakness of mine).

    So I had 2 slices of veggie pizza & 1 meat, & hardly any dip (I usually drown the crusts in the garlic & herb dip, mmm).

    Does anyone else find it hard sometimes to strike a balance between being debt free/saving money & losing weight?

    Well done to all the other "losers" this week :T
    To those that STS or even gained - don't get disheartened just keep at it & you'll get there, & in the meantime - group hugs! :grouphug:
    :idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

    Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

    I've somehow lost 5lb!!! I think this is the Christmas excess of food/chocolate/wine/cheese leaving my body as quickly as I put it in, I doubt this rate of weight loss will continue! I did use different scales but I will be sticking with the ones I used today as I think they are more accurate.

    Got a terrible urge to open a bottle of wine tonight now to celebrate......
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
