Hi everybody,
Weighed myself this morning and have put on 3lbsTOTM arrived on Boxing Day, when at the in-laws (how lovely) and I'm sure this has something to do with the gain (not all the beige food!)
Really can't remember the last time I had some decent fruit and veg that wasn't a) wrapped in pastry, b) soaked in alcohol or c) cooked in goose fat, or a combination of all three!
Looking forward to joining the next challenge please Mrs Dragon. Can you put me down for 7lbs please?
Thanks everyone.

Must get more organised as I had a disastrous day eating yesterday mostly because we have nothing left in the house. Shopping Sunday and salad stuff on list.
Dragon - many thanks for continuing to keep us in order. On your list i think you have me down for Molly 14 - but Im Moly 41 but want to lose 14 lbs xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -

Ooops, thanks for pointing that out! I think I just got my fingers mixed up (at least I didn't have you down as wanting to lose 41 pounds :eek:)
