Well done everyone. I weighed in this morning and have lost 6.5 pounds. That is since the 2nd Jan as I started earlier than some of you. I have more weight to lose too; around the 4 stone mark. But I am very pleased and hope it will set me up for a tough weekend ahead.

-2 for me, pleased as Sunday was totally off plan, and big loss last week.

-2lbs for me which is amazing given how much chocolate I;ve eaten. I know I am at my lowest weight for years. I've never been lighter than this other than when I was ill. I've never broken this weight and my BMI is normal at 24 ish so will anymore come off?
Well done all

Wow!! a great start folks

Caterina - you can give me your weight loss each week in grams or kg and I can do the conversion on the spreadsheet

Hiya,

Weighed myself this morning and have lost 4lbs which is par for the course when I go wheat free. The real challenge is going to be from now on because I know it will become much slower to lose anything.

Still, I've managed my 4000+ steps on four days so far this week and need to do another 4000+ today. Then next week, which starts tomorrow, I'm upping it to 4250+ steps a day on five of the seven days.

Good luck everyone

Muddles, how are you getting on with your portion plate?

This is the one I got. I have only had it a couple of days but I am pleased with it. It is exactly how it looks in the picture. I know a lot of people use a side plate or maybe a childs plate but I wanted something that showed me visually how much to plate up as I have such a problem. If it retrains my mindset then it will have been worth it. My every day plates are oval shaped and to be honest not too big but I pile it on and use every inch. What I have been doing is plating it on the portion plate and then transferring to my normal plate. I did new potatoes yesterday with salad and fish and measured carefully. In the past I would have cooked over twice as much so already it is helping me.

Thanks Muddles, that's very helpful. Know what you mean about using every inch of space on a plate!
