Hi guys.
I love cheese too, almost as much as I love crisps!! Have you tried half fat cheddar? It is just as tasty as regular. Also parmesan on spag bol/chilli is good I find, because you can get a nice flavour with just a little bit of it.
Still off the crisps but had mad cravings last night, so had some salted peanuts as a substitute. Don't think all of that salt agreed with me tho, cos I have a bit of a funny tummy this morning!Save 12k in 2014 (my target: £10 000):

Hi chums I saw the diet nurse today and I have lost 3.5 lbs since I saw her just before Christmas and she is very pleased with me
:):)
Its all gonna go:):)
Well done :beer:Been poorlier than poorly here and on Monday I was diagnosed with gastro oesophageal reflux disease. So probably best I eat a simple diet and get round to losing those 2 stones!
(Seems diet has little to do with it but a bit of weight loss might help).
Anyway, today I have eaten/will eat:
shreddies with soya milk
HM soup (mainly carrot and kale) and 2 slices of HM bread
sausage and baked bean hotpot with sliced potato on top
apple crumble and custard

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
My weight has yo-yoed so much that i don't need to buy test jeans, just look in the wardrobe as I have several sizes
Todays pair are ones I wore 2010/2011, so I knew the fit would be just right after I'd lost some weight

So had a team meeting at work today and this was the haul that we were provided. I was quite proud of myself as I stuck to one croissant, some strawberries and grapes.

I hope when the dress fits again your DH takes you out somewhere really nice
I also have a dress which won't fit until I'm extra slim...and 2 mini skirts which I used to wear when DSs were very small...I wouldn't wear them now, but have kept them for the pleasure of *knowing* they fit :rotfl:
Have been for a walk...someone up there is looking out for me today
Met a friend who said " if you want chocolate, then have a great big bar!"...called into home bargains for shampoo, picked up a few things, and then picked up a bar of my favourite chocolate! What's the point in not eating it over xmas, then buying some now?
Got to the checkout and realised before it was my turn that the £10 note in my pocket was actually a £5 note! so had to put the chocolate back :rotfl:
