    Thats what I tell myself when I buy a triple pack! Not sure it works if you eat 12 tho! :rotfl:


    1 triple pack = 1,660 calories (I think).

    My maths gives up at the thought of twelve triple packs... would you like some help eating them? :D

    I completely do NOT deserve to lose weight this week as I had 3 walnut whips yesterday. :eek: Of course I was force-fed. ;)

    However I am down 1.5lbs on the day. There's no justice, is there? I will gain it back soon enough but it's nice to know it can happen.

    I also found 21p's worth of clubcard points but I won't add them to my sig till they're actually on my card. I also got my clubcard points vouchers which have plumped up a bit thanks to wombling. :)

    Little 1lb loss for me. At least it is in the right direction.

    Need to work out where I am with the money - no change there, then!

    Welcome Lamarsi. :) (Nice name).

    As you have three months instead of four, I for one wouldn't mind if you did 3/4 the total of those doing four months. Seems fair.

    I hope you find the encouragement here helps you along. I know I do. :)

  • Well the scales are going upwards instead of down. From reading everyones entries alot of us are finding the weightloss part of this challenge difficult. Its not easy when its so cold. Note toself must try harder. However half term this coming week. Found myself watching P*zza Hut ad thinking mmm maybe we will have a trip there this week er mm bad slimming idea. Also DH is whisking me away on Valentines night to a hotel known for its gastro prowess,still shouldn't complain. Am not getting on the scales until next Friday and hope for the best. I think upping exercise after half term more dog walking needed and less alcohol.

    On moneysaving,£10 into £2 coin tin and some loose change. Onwards and upwards orshould that say downwards too.
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.
