    Hello all,

    Queen Bee just checking in! I'm afraid no weight loss this week.

    However, I have adjusted my shopping habits - no more Sainsbury's basic's shortbreads at 17p a packet, roll in the canned pineapple in fruit juice instead.

    I am still reeling from the discovery on that web-site that I'm classifies as obese.

    Next week, there will be positive news to report...

    Oh I should also have said I'll be updating every second Monday (starting this Monday).

    I don't find weekly weigh ins helpful and am aiming for 3lbs loss every 2 weeks.

    Thats great, as long as it suits you thats the important thing, for me, if I weighed every two weeks, for the first week I would cheat then try to recover it in the 2nd - no good eh - i'm pants!:o

    I've been very good again (so far) today, had banana on scan brans for breakfast (nicer than it sounds), ryvittas with cottage cheese and lean ham then a muller light and two satsumas for luch. Tea will be salmon with new pots. corn and carrots.:D

    Hope everyone else is having a good day xx

    For me it's because my weight seems to fluctuate wildly day to day so for me to see a loss I only weigh in every second week. Oh and Paul McKenna advocates it too. Otherwise I get disheartened.

    I've been doing exercise classes off Fitness TV this week......combat cardio rocks!!

    Resisted chips, sausage and curry sauce today in work as had made healthy pasta salad and have just turned down a can of cider

    7th day with out crisps - what a torture, I could also eat a 6 pack of crisps in one day

    Spending the BH weekend at BF's sister's, lots of drinking/eating :eek:

  • Evening all! Listen to me sounding like a police woman!!

    Radish: Cider is the one thing I would always refuse-it reminds me of student days drinking bottles of 'diamond white' god I feel sick just at the thought.

    We are having a BBQ on the weekend but my plan is to have no bread, rolls etc. and just stick to plenty of meat and plain salads, red slimming world day for me. I will however be indulging in [STRIKE]a little[/STRIKE] wine:rotfl:

    Hi Baby steps, I have added you to the list, can you just double check i;ve got your details correct?

    deedee fitness TV sounds interesting, what channel is it on? I would need to invest in a good [STRIKE]bolder holder[/STRIKE]ahem bra before I started jumping about though or I would get two black eyes..sorry TMI:p

    SML enjoy your night out, I think if you don't let your hair down once in while you will go nuts - not every week though eh:D;)

    Well it is late, and I am missing 'The housewives of Orange County' sorry its carp but addictive tv.

    Good luck all for tomorrows food intake.
