Lol that's a pretty normal day for me too! I wasn't properly counting points, I just know that particular sandwich is 7.5 pts! If I added all the stuff up I'd more than likely be over.

Hiya can I join too please? I weighed today and was 10stone 3lb which is quite heavy as Im only 5ft nothing. Wibbly Bum not here yet but probably trying to get out!!:rotfl: Im going to try and get to 9 something for now. Anyone know if sardines in sunflower oil are a no no?

Hey Avogirly! Welcome to the challenge It's Christmas weight, it will come off in no time *she said optimistically* You can weigh in anytime between Mon-Wed and I think I'll update the first page on Wednesday evenings. Nice to meet you!

Hi Turfy, pleased to meet another shortie like me My Wibbly Bum only bothers me when I'm exercising and there's someone behind me; otherwise I ignore it!

I know we're not technically starting until 1at Feb, but I started on Monday, last weghed myself on Sunday, and weighed in this morning, and I'm chuffed I'm -1.4lbs! I should have lost 1.2lbs if I was following this diet and had a normally active lifestyle so I figured things would be slower lying on my sofa just doing upper body weights, but 1.4 lbs in 3 days is beyond anything I could hope for, very happy. Now to continue it for the next week.

Especially happy as this takes me to 139.8lbs - under 140lbs for the first time in years.

Well I was going to weigh in today but I'm not since we're not starting properly yet... because I've put on 1.5lb! Not happy! I was jumping around like a loon to HSM Dance for an hour again last night, not 'real' exercise but I was out of breath so it must have counted for something?!

Well done on your loss Dinah! You're wasting away!

I'll have to get some houmous after all of the good reviews! I think I've been put off in the past because it looks a bit wierd (I don't do guacamole either!), I used to be really picky with my food but I'm getting much better!

Any ideas what I can go for my dinner tonight? I've got 3 big chicken legs, half a butternut squash, some green beans and some spinach! Don't really know how to make all of that exciting!

Way to go Dinah! That must feel brilliant

I broke the 10 stone barrier for a few weeks before Christmas, but now I'm back up to 10st6lb - not good! Even the ww lady was speechless about how much I'd put on It's a real motivator though, so hopefully it will come off as quickly as it went on!

Birdie, are you sure it's not TOTM-related?! It's really annoying when you feel like you should've lost weight but you don't. Don't lose hope though! Keep exercising, drink lots of water and hope you'll see a difference soon! Are you keeping a food diary?

Well done Dinah...........I've had not such a good start. Breaky was me polishing off a few liqourice allsorts.............but I did have an apple......so that's good yeah???!!!!

:rotfl: That's shocking, isn't she supposed to support you?!

Well done Dinah, and I agree Birdie, surely it's TOTM related? That's what I'm putting my non-loss down to, hoping for some headway on Monday.

I change my profile on Food Focus to say I wanted to be 9.13 by my birthday (12.02), and I need to lose 1.5 lbs a week, which I think will be a bit of a struggle given my recent reacquaintance with food!

Avogirly, I seem to thenk liquorice is good for the digestion? So not too bad! I've had 2 cups of coffee so far, waiting for colleague to go and make the teas so I can have my cereal bar! :rolleyes:

Morning all

Well done Dinah - amazing and I am yet again in awe of you;)

I am not weighing myself until we officially begin (oh well I admit it I did this morning and I weigh 0.5lb more than I did when we started):o

I am using the Wii balance board to weigh myself cos if I use our bathroom scales and lean one way I can weigh less than if I stand straight up....so I know I will cheat:rotfl: Apart from that I can stand on the things one minute and be delighted to have lost weight - I then stand on them a minute or two later just to check as you do....and not only have I not lost weight but I can have gained as well:mad: So...Wii balance board it is for me then.
