I'm not starting the diet until tomorrow but haven't been too bad today and I didn't have any alcohol last night :AIt's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey0

Happy New Year to you.
I did get on scales today....eeek and have started work on losing my first 7lb straight away. Good first day food wise but didn't do as well on the exercise front didn't get the jobs done outside as the weather is damp and miserable, so I have kept busy inside today (alcohol free). xxDMP with CCCS started Jan12 £34,906 Jan13 £31,893 Jan14 £26,836 Jan15 £21,894 Jan16 £16,839 Jan17 £14,415 Jan19 £12,938ish Jan19 £9,649 Jan20 £6612 Feb 21 0 Self managed from Jan'17

If I am not eating at home (and therefore not in control) I tend to use the 'filling and healthy' list as a guide. Generally it has worked for me.
I weighed myself this morning, and am xx stone 13 pounds, so aim to be xx-1 stone 13 by the end of Jan (there's no way I'm putting the real number in!)
I did go out for a walk first thing, and had my boots with the fancy soles.Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

Will be starting tomorrow, as still had a few bits to finish up! I might actually use my exercise bike instead of shredding at first-might be too much of a shock otherwise
. Aiming for half a stone loss for January and that won't happen unless I start and keep to this challenge.

Breakfast done and points tracked, I had scrambled egg on toast which worked out at 11 points :eek: (didn't have nimble bread, only had normal white loaf :cool:), but it will keep me full for ages so can probably get away with a smaller meal later.
I am going to shred tonight as ds is staying at mums as he doesn't have school tomorrow but I do. I'll do shred and then have my bath, do my eyebrpws etc when he's there.
Just placed a qualifying bet for a match tomorrow, which should hopefully get me going on the mortgage pot for the new yearMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000
