hi there
I am new to this board.
I really do need to lose weight. I have put on over a stone in the last year on top of the 2 stone I really needed to lose. I do nibble and eat too much so I have to be more conscious of what I am putting into my mouth. So I would like to keep track of what I eat.
Breakfast
Toast, flora light and banana
Coffee skimmed milk
I use about a pint of skimmed a day for coffee.
Dragon could you please put me down for 5 lb target ... its a start
Need to increase the amount of water I drink. Will update later.
Will start reading all posts today.0 -

Congrats on the tip theatregirl, nice one. I remember Lorraine Chase as a very glamorous model earning £k's a week, it was she who first came up with the expression 'Lu'on airport' in a TV ad. Can't imagine her in a soap, but at least it's work

Just a big dog walk to report on the exercise front.
Good news though - the eye and cold are both now better.0 -

Thank you all for the lovely welcome
update as follows
Lunch....2 pancakes toasted with flora light and honey
Dinner... home made chicken veg soup with steakburger/bap salad
snacks...mince pie, clementine 2, banana.
drunk lots of water.
Spent 3 hours in the garden and lots of cleaning inside the house. Feel like I have definitely moved today. Feel really sore :rotfl:0 -
I think I need to change my target. I am never going to do it...especially as it's looking like this week might be a gain again! :eek: it was OH's birthday yesterday, so I made birthday cake...and we are going away for the weekend to a nice hotel. That will involve plenty of booze if not naughty food! There is a good gym though so I should use it...I should I should...
Argh! This is the WORST time of year to try and lose weight. There are still 4 weeks left after this week so technically if I really hammered it I could lose 8lbs. But all my weekends are full between now and Christmas and I can feel the loss just slipping away.
All it means is that I will have so much pressure in January to really do it properly. I am going to be a fat bride...
Ok, I will be good, I will be good, I will be good....starting NOW!0 -
