The Nifty Thrifty Weight Loss Challenge *All Welcome*

orangesmartie

I got on the scales and it told me <ahem> that I was now 17st 11lb. Didn't believe that. Tried the work scales (super calibrated) and yep they say the same (the work scales were where i got my original weight on Friday). I know its mostly water anyway but i feel inordinately chuffed! i expect a lb or two to appear back over the weekend and i'm sure i'll lose a few £££ at silverstone because i can never resist shiny merchandise.

Hope everyone has a good day. Sparkerly - we all have really crappy days sometimes. One thing i found is keep some carrot batons in the fridge, so when you get home from work feel tired and crap...munch on those while you decide what to have for tea. A little bit of sweet or glass of wine won't hurt here and there.

Wow debtfreewannabe, 80 sit ups is impressive! Well done! I have just started the 200 sit up plan can only just do 5 in row before I'm crying!

Rdchick, my work is the same, the office is full of people but no one talks for longer than a few minutes, it's always really quiet. I am not a chatterbox but it would be nice to have a bit of noise!

As for the doughnuts, I would have done exactley the same thing, I don't think I would get annoyed with myself if I just ate one, but I can never control myself, if cake, choc, sweets, etc is there I just keep eating til it's gone

Brought my lunch in today and brekkie and snacks, banana and a penguin so should be a no spend day today.

Money wise, my items on ebay are being watched by a few people, no bids yet, but as they are collection only I don't expect a lot will happen, must get more on!

Have a good day all!

Well today I'm going to:

• make salmon, new pots & green beans with salad for dinner.
• savoury rice for lunch (low fat one) yoghurts (low fat) for snack or bananas
• Already had brown toast with honey on and a green tea
• i WILL drink 8 glasses of water today (will include my peppermint tea in this amount too)
• Will get an early night, i'm sure it helps with weight loss to get enough sleep. and i most def am not recently thanks to kids!
• will walk to post office to top up my post office card for my car tax
• then walk to drs to put in my prescription
• and walk back home (no cheating with a bus haha) total walk should be about 2 miles
• will use a vibro plate session later on when kids are napping or in bed (ds1 will look after them)

Also just checked online bank and have enough to transfer money over to top up contingency to my target so i 'may' do this later.....need to see if anything is pending on the account first!

Have a great day all

weighed in this morning and i have lost 2lbs! was hoping for 3 but im happy that i have lost and not gained.
Have already done a bit of dancing on the wii this morning but will be on it again later.

Any ideas anyone about what i could use to substitute diet coke? There is always juice in the house but i never seem to drink it, unless i have no money to get my dc. I want something that will help that tastes nice but doesnt have the bloating that diet coke has.(if any of that makes sense)

Juice like fruit juice is generally quite rubbish for you and has LOADS of cals. I'd rather go for a no added sugar squash or something like that.

I need to lay off the coke too though as I want to get rid of all my celulite too and that's gonna be a mission!! Nice!

Choo girl don't deprive yourself of stuff as you'll end up binging!! get some options and have a hot choccy or something like that to curb the craving I had 4 jam donuts yesterday and have stayed the same this morning as I was yesterday... a miracle I know but just goes to show that a tiny bit (or a binge in my case!!) of what you like doesn't do you too much harm!!

KEEP GOING PEOPLES, YOU'RE ALL DOING SUPER DOOPER!! XXX
