I'm still in! soup and a bagel today as I didn't have time to go and buy sandwich ingredients yesterday, but I knew i had a tin of soup and a bagel at work! Off to tesco tonight to get some bread and some sandiwch fillings!

I'm still hanging in there too :j

15/20 so far...I only need one more lunch to crack my 16/20 goal but I hope to beat the goal.

Grocery shopping this weekend, so lots of fruit available for lunches.

Today it's a ham, pickle and lettuce sandwich, clementines, banana and some noodles! Free coffee at work as the coffee maker has been unpacked after our move but I've heard a nasty rumour that the coffee maker might yet be banned :-( Colleagues have also brough in biscuits but I am dodging those for the good of my weightwatching.

Have a good week all!

Had an all day training today so had lunch provided. Yum yum

I've failed by one day! Was in Sainsbury's yesterday so had lunch there. Back to it today though - am planning a tuna salad.

I'm doing well, only bought lunch once so far this month. I enjoyed it a lot more than normal because it seemed like more of a treat IYSWIM.

Have plenty of bits in so should make it to Friday without another lunch spend. Still eating a lot more fruit and veg thanks to my packed lunch too - it's a win win situation (although i must confess to buying some nice chocolate bars in Home bargains for the odd treat)

Yay! Hit my target of 16 lunches yesterday - but I think I could definitely have a higher target in March. We are all doing this in March, right??

Leftover soup today. Nearly the end of the month already, where has it gone!

Another no spend at work day 14/16 at the moment on target to get my 16/19, I still have three more days at work and will probably buy lunch at work on Saturday.

I'll be up for another month, February has been easier for me to get my target and I've spent less money than January, I've only spent £2.40 on the two lunches I've got from the canteen, it's what I easily spent in a day on getting my lunch from the shops last year. This thread and the challenge have been a real motivation for me, thanks for all your tips and postings on your progress they have been a real inspiration.

Two days to go in Feb for me. This challenge has been great - there's definitely been a few days that I wouldn't have bothered had I not been doing this. Thanks guys!:beer:

Think tomorrow is going to be bacon, brie and cranberry sandwiches and then soup the rest of the week.

Good luck for the rest of the month everyone!

I'm still here too! Sorry my posts have been a bit few & far between but I've been thinking of you all & you've still kept me on the straight & narrow!
Actually I've been surprised at how much my friends have been supporting me in the 'real world' with this too - one bought me a coffee when I joined them for lunch out but wasn't buying anything, another two bought their lunch but took it back to the office's staff room so I could eat my HM lunch with them, & on Mon a few of us are taking our own lunches to a friend's house to eat there.
So all that has enabled me to stay on track & I haven't bought a lunch all month!
I have turkey, cranberry sauce & spinach sarnies for tomorrow - yum!
This has made a huge difference to my purse & my health this month so thank you all very much, I couldn't have done it without knowing you were all here doing it too & giving me inspiration & ideas!
