    Morning all, may I join please?

    I lost 3 stone last year and have managed to keep all but 5lb off, so I am geared up for another go. I am trying to do it the calorie counting way and have used a link given in the first thread to a calorie counter. My loss this week is -2lb, so I am really pleased.

    My menu for today is

    B- Multigrain hoops and milk
    L- HM carrot and squash soup, french fries (crisps) and fruit salad
    D - HM veggie spaghetti bolognese
    S - Banana, apple, biscuits

    E - Walking to town and back tonight.

    Hope I did this right.........

    Of course you can join! and well done on the 2 pounds - is your goal 5 pounds?

    HI Dragon, my mini goal is 5lb, but my over all goal is another 7 stone. I started off very very very big!
    I promise that I will do my best.....
  • Well done on everyones losses - I will try and remember names next time I post.

    I weighed myself on Monday and today with starting the new challenge and the lack of biccis been eaten means I have lost 3 lbs :j

    Not sure how I have done it ... I am putting it down to lack of snacks that I have eaten ... Also I am off track today as the hubby let me sleep in (he works nights) so I leterally ran out of the door and had a naughty bacon sandwich :o on my way to work. Don't have access to many shops that don't cost the earth so opted for a turkey salad sandwich for lunch. Did manage 45 walking today though :)

    Need to meal plan for next week and I should be more organised next week as I haven't got as much going on and my boss is on holiday which means I will be more structured if nothing else :T

    I have put on 1.5lbs...I am the only person to blame for this, I've been feeling blue and so acting like a little piglet all week :naughty: . Today is a new day though!

    Some good losses peeps, I hope I can join in with the happy smileys next week.
  • Thanks Dragon.

    When I stopped by Mr A's today to pick up oil and black pepper for DM I wandered around the veg section and picked up 2 halves of swede, some spring onions, half a cucumber and some parsnips.
    Also picked up some WW chocolate bars in the grocery aisle as they are only about 80cals a bar and should curb my temptation for the week ahead.

    currently eating sliced pear with yoghurt, interesting combination....
