Hello,
Sorry knit witch I am late with my last weigh in! I have been awol for the last month since hitting my 3 month target early, and have been falling off the wagon and yo yo ing.:( overall it's not so bad as I have lost another 2 lb . but cakes chocolate and bad snacking have slowly crept back in so I need to try to be good for the new challenge. With Easter and a holiday in this next 3 months it's going to be hard so I will to be too over ambitious and go for 10 lb for the next challenge please.
thanks for organising this knit witch. It's usually at about the 3 month stage of a diet that I lose the will and go back to bad habits. Hopefully having to come clean on here will help to keep me motivated.
Good luck everyone with the new challenge;)Grocery challenge: dec 294/280, January 250/250, February 168/200:T march 258/2600 -
B - more than listed above, had a slice of wm nimble toast with hm lemon cheese as well
D - roast chicken, tatties, yorkies, carrots, broccoli, gravy. DD cooked, it was delicious but I only managed half. None of us could manage pudding
S - Crackerbread with peanut butter, satsuma, slice of pineapple
E - 4 x 6 mins on treadmill @ 2.3mph.
back to normal tomorrow, on with the new challenge. Sweet dreams0 -
This weekend seems to have developed into an end of challenge binge! I bought a couple of bags of crisps so I could get change for a £20 note, had a couple of alcohol based drinks and also picked up some sugar free sweets and yoghurt coated raisins in H&B. Most of them have been eaten already.
My meals have been much more healthy - most of my evening meals have been given over to meat with cabbage and carrots. I am looking forward to pay day tomorrow - my cupboard is quite bare, and I'm getting a little tired of nutmeg cabbage0 -
Sorry I'm late again, but I've lost 2lbs this week, so I've gone past my target by 1lb, and have just hit a total of 3 stones lost!
I am only 7lbs away from my original goal weight, so that will be my aim for the next challenge, although I may decide that I need to lose a bit more, depending on how I look and feel when I get there.
Today has been a total disaster food and exercise wise, but it is Mother's Day so it's allowed, lol! We went to MIL's and had a full roast for lunch, with trifle and cheesecake with cream on top for dessert, then we had a piece of the cake that SIL had bought. Tonight we had the leftovers from last night's buffet supper at MIL's, which was 2 slices of deep pan pizza, a piece of quiche, 2 slices of ham, a slice of tiger bread and some sliced tomato. The only exercise was a 20 minute walk up the cemetery and back.Weight loss challenge 2/10lbs

:T That is amazing Sue! I know how good that feels, I originally lost 3st. I bet you feel fantasticLoved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!0 -
Well done Sue14 :T
I'm going to get back into the "dieting zone" today
I didn't weigh myself this morning because I don't want to know!
Good points from the weekend...no takeaway (though was tempted when I realised I was eating alone last night)...and yesterday I had about 1500 calories, so not too bad.
Bad points...Saturday night turned into chocolate and wine night...went out to buy a paint brush and bought a big bar of chocolateI tried to eat it all, but had to give in with a little bit left!
So no mothers day foodie celebrations (though I did get a card, and I had only one choc out of the box I bought my own DM)...I had the pleasure (?) of driving DS2 to the DIY shops as his car won't start, and trying to assist fitting a bath (neither of us are plumbers) A pleasant afternoon though, and his puppy (who's growing bigger by the day!) is no longer scared of her own shadow and is now pleased to see me and get cuddles
If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?0
