    Hi all,

    can I join too please. I want to lose about 3 - 3.5 stone overall but that's a bit scary to think about all at once :eek: so for now I am aiming to lose a stone over the next 2-3 months. I was already going to start meal planning (partly to help cut our grocery bills and partly to stop me panicking at dinnertime and feeding my girls either sandwiches or pasta and sauce yet again just because I can't think of anything else to make :o) so this will fit in perfectly. I really want to start 'eating healthily' rather than 'dieting' and get my weight under control before I pass all my terrible eating habits on to my lovely girls.

    PS Louby40 I really hope you don't mind me copying your signature - you seem to be doing the same challenges as me. Good luck!

    Got you

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Wednesday -
    B - F&F, sk milk
    D - chicken & veg curry with pilau rice. Small portion in a pudding bowl
    T - wm roll, rf spead. vlf philly, 1/2 tomato
    S - melon, satsuma, grapes
    Just remembered I bought a bar of chocolate last week because I fancied some, but by the time I got home I didn't want it so I froze it in 2-square pieces and haven't fancied any since, so it will probably still be there when the DGD comes to visit :D

    Hello everyone :)

    Long time lurker here! Love reading about how everyone is getting on, please may I join the 12 week challenge?

    I'd like to aim for 12lbs in 12 weeks please :o eeek scared already!

    Working night shifts and having a love of cooking does not mix well... oh and an OH who very kindly but not so helpfully always brings me home pastries, chocs etc!! And I have zero confidence when it comes to exercise.

    Going to weigh myself on friday, not quite sure how hard the christmas munching has hit me, at a guess I'm probably somewhere around 11st 8 or more.

    Good luck to everyone! xxx
