    Excellent mophead, well done.
    Debt at highest May 04 - £65,639.22 - Started DMP with CCCS 1st June 04 & now self managed DMP
    Debt now 20th December 2015 £31677.13 Paid Off to date £33962.09 - just not going quickly enough!

    Debt free date July 2024! I don't think so, it'll be going quicker than that!!!

    I'm not looking forward to weighing myself on Tuesday! We went down to Perth to see OH's brother. Took the kids out for a pizza.... mind you, I didn't have a whole one to myself like I usually do, so I'm please with myself for that....

  • Hi all

    I've lost 1lb - it feels like I've lost more, though. My work trousers are definitely more comfortable than they were last week. Oh well, 1lb is not much, but if I lose one every week I'll be down to my target by July...

    I had no chocolate and no bread until the weekend, as planned, and I've been good about taking salad, fruit & yoghurt for lunch & snacks at work. I was also good about doing exercise.

    I was hungry this afternoon, though, and raided the chocolate biscuits. :o I went in to M&S after work and bought sensible veggies for the week, then put a big bar of chocolate in my basket!! - it was organic, fairtrade chocolate on display by the till :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Luckily, it had the number of calories clearly printed on the back :eek: :eek: so I had 4 small squares and have put the rest in the fridge. I can have it at the weekend...

    Right, back on the bandwagon now - I'll go and start a proper dinner (so no excuse to raid bread / biscuits / chocolate etc later) and get back on track...

    Had my WI last night and have lost 1½lb this week.
    Am pleased with this but am going to try harder this week as I did have a few lapses last week.

    Well guys I'm a bit gutted tonight - I have been really good keeping within syns and not cheating at all - and I get rewarded with a 1st week weight loss of a measly 1LB.:mad:
    Where did I go wrong???
    I really need to get motivated with the exercise, I am so lazy and find trying to get out of the house for my 9pm swimming session a bit daunting.
