Burger it - I might have them all wrong then - comes of not having my spreadsheet to hand! (although Dr Dragon thinks he can get it off my poorly computer), also very stressed again.Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Could I join the OS weight loss thread please?
I have been decluttering today, and looking at old photographs reminds me that I have let the pounds creep on a bit. Ideally I would like to lose 24 lbs, but I think I'll set my initial target a bit lower to motivate me!
I'd love to see a weighing scales reading beginning with 10 stone, rather than 11 stone (it's been about a year.....) I have fluctuated between 11'8 and 11'4 for ages.....
So....inital weight-loss target of 8 lbs by Christmas ( 8 weeks!)
I really need motivation with this.Debts: Credit Card: €6000 ---> €5050 Feb 25 \ Overdraft: Step 3/100

Yesterday wasn't brilliant on the food front as I had huge lunch and dinner. On the plus side I did 30mins Wii Zumba followed by 30mins Just Dance 2.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
