    ^ 7lb woah that's awesome! and I thought my 3lb was good lol.

    I HAD to eat a bit of the chocolate torte i made for a dinner party last Sunday. there's about a 1/4 left of it here and I am desperately trying to make my housemate eat it so I won't give in to temptation but damn boy never wants to eat free food (weird boy).

    I made some home made vegetable soup earlier on, just had some as an early dinner (at about 5pm) - Would it be wise to have some lentil soup at about 9pm cuz I know i'm going to be hungry again by then (and I don't want to eat some of that Torte!)

    Hi

    Well done to everyone. I got weighed at sw tonight and have lost 1lb this week, I was expecting more this week as I have been virtuous!! But a loss is still a loss I guess.

    Well done everyone.

    Well done boult and phoenix dragon!! At this rate there will be nothing left of the rest of you (I have waaaaay to much to lose for that to happen to me :D)
    Trust me Dragon, it's going to take a very long time before I get to the top end of my 'ideal' weight, if I can manage 7 ld a month, then I'm looking at being here for 28 month's.

    Hi all,

    Congrats on all the weight losses, there is some big numbers there!!! Hope I don't let the side down on my weigh in on saturday.

    I've got to confess I had two pancakes with golden syrup.:naughty::naughty: last night. Todays menu was toast, tuna pasta salad & crisps, some garlic prawns followed by hotpot this evening. Slightly over did it again and If I could just leave the crisps alone!!

    On a positive note I put on a pair of trousers and shirt this morning which would no where near fit on Jan 1st, so I must have lost a clothes size at least. :T:T I have a wardrobe full of clothes, but half of them don't fit. Would save myself a fortune if I could lose the weight.

    I try not to let myself get too down about days when I cheat myself a little, I have a whole life time to make up for it. Yesterday we went out for dinner I had chilli con carne, which I didn't finish and a diet coke. Today I'm hitting the gym before heading home for a nice bowl of soup.

    Sounds like you're down really well, I've recently moved my belt buckle along a hole, it really helps show you're on the right tracks, keep up the excellent work :)

  • lost another 3lbs! That's 6lbs in total this month already but Dragon please don't add to the first page as my offical weigh in is on a Tuesday...i'll wait till then! (and hope it does not change in a bad way!)

    Last night I had some Sainsburys Vanilla Ice Dessert which is like a watery version of icecream. It has way less fat/calories than regular icecream and if you just put a bit of cadbury's highlight hot chocolate on top it tastes sooo amazing and pretty much guilt free!

    This morning i had a half glass of pineapple juice and some grapes. Sun is out AGAIN (we are so blessed - plenty of outdoor walking time!) so i'm going for a walk later on and then more soup for dinner. I highly recommend replacing two meals a day with home made soup.

    Wedding on saturday though....gonna be a real tester
