  • First weigh in and pleased to report a 3lb loss.

    Today will be


    B Porridge with half milk half water

  • Today

    B: 1 slice toast with butter and Marmite
    S: Someone bought in an Almond St Clement Cake from Konditor and cook. If no one has tried their cakes then see the link to see why I was powerless to resist http://shop.konditorandcook.com/collections/free-from-january/products/almond-st-clement-1#.UtAXBvRdWy4

    D: Bolognaise
    That voice in your head that says you can’t do this is a LIAR!

    Hi everyone...I'm really pleased to have lost 6lbs this week!! I know a lot of it was water as Ive been weeing non-stop lol, and my face looks less swollen.


    L-cauli and broccoli soup
    D-stir fry with noodles, small piece of fish in breadcrumbs
    Snacks- packet of French Fries crisps, small handful of fruit pastilles


    I'm also going to have the last of the Christmas Baileys which Ive been looking forward to all week :)


    E- my pedometer read over 10000 steps today, and did a lot of stairs at work today.
  • A STS for me too...I measure in kg's and was close to a half lb but not close enough to count it. I only started on Monday night and struggled a bit to get going so I'm not overly surprised.

    Well done to the losers :j
