    Another idea - if you have a friend (Or more) who would like to loose weight then do it together. Once you get over the initial embarrassment of standing on the scales - boots for accuracy - it would be fine. You could put the money you would have spent in a pot and then split it at Christmas/birthdays etc on a treat.

  • It can also add the stuff you need to your shopping list if you order online. Which I found very helpful! Think I may look into it again after Xmas. Going away and eating out round family etc too much in December!

    I seem to have hit a bump already. I keep going to a certain weight and then going back up slightly and and then going down to that weight again. I haven't seen even 100g below this weight .

    Have to push through it, can't give up.

  • I went with SiL2B. H2B wouldn't come, actually he probably would if I asked him to, but would be a waste of money and I was going to go alone before she saved the day! I don't mind going to the cinema alone, I draw a line at the theatre! (he doesn't like musicals.., :( )

    ah next time u need company, just ask me as sometimes i struggle to find a partner too. :) actually if he would have been mean and said no, then i would have gone alone but am glad i managed to succeed and now he cant back out! he has watched the films with me at home anyway and quite liked them. Theatre, i am lucky he likes it, and my work organises so many theatre events so sometimes, we do get theatred out! i saw Ghost last, and it was awesome. :0)
