    Hello all

    Reporting a 1.5lb this week.

    Can anyone tell me how many more weigh ins there are in this challenge please?

    I'm pretty sure we've 2 more weeks to go, with the final weigh in being easter weekend.

    And then I'm really hoping that The Dragon will be good enough to do another 3 months, cos I'm not nearly finished...
    please Dragon, can we keep going? :D


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?

    Off swimming this morning before settling down to watch all of the day's rugby - come on Wales!

    Hi WelshWoofer,

    I think congrats are in order. I am not into rugby but I believe Wales won the grand slam... so I hope you had something to celebrate :beer:

    That also sounds great that you swam a mile :beer: I am lucky if I can swim across the pool let alone one length of the pool... :rotfl::rotfl:

    Yoghurt and fruit

    Hi All

    I've been busy since I got started on making something to wear for my holidays... It is not until Sept so I've got plenty of time to really push the boat out... I bought myself some metallic thread, and other odds and sods that cost me a fortune.. :eek: so I have been trying out different things.. :j:j:j So much so, i am too busy to eat... :beer:

    You know, I think this is the first time in my life that food hasn't revolved around everything I do. Since I made a conscious effort to lose weight once and for all in January I am finding that food is becoming less and less important. Don't get me wrong, I love cooking and I try to make sure that what I eat tastes good but I no longer look at food as a reward or something to find solace in... :A

    Here's hoping I don't get proved wrong in the future :) as I would really like to get slim for the rest of my life... I find that I am getting a bit fitter every day. Yesterday, I did all my housework, upstairs, downstairs, kitchen, dining room etc etc whereas, before Christmas, I was having to split it into doing the upstairs one day and downstairs the next and I no longer have to drag myself up the stairs hanging onto the banister every step of the way... :T:T:T Funnily enough, I struggle to lift a trug full of washing to go out onto the line .. It feels heavier than it used to.. so

    Dragon, please, please, please have another challenge

  • Well I appear to have made it through this week in three pieces. Better than a million haha.

    Just popping on to quickly post meal plans etc, hope I can stick to them, need to be better this week and shed a lb or two.

    yesterday:
    b - cheese on toast, aero yoghurt
    l - none, working through lunchtime
    d - kfc chips, h/m stirfry portion, aero bar
    s - a few mini (Celebrations) chocolates that were floating around the office after the show finished :D
    t - (when I got home) half a pork pie, 3 slices cheese, very small square h/m pie, crisps, rest of wispa pieces.

    we all got free drinks last night after the show, opted for a J20 soft drink - the other choices were wine and beer but I resisted them :)

    today:
    b - cheese on toast, several spoonfuls of nutella
    l - chicken and bacon pasta bake, blackberry yoghurt
    d - brinner :D half slice of fried bread, 1 sausage, 3 rashers bacon, mushrooms, 1 tomato
    s - probably have some arctic roll much later after dinner :)
  • Thanks Ellie99.

    Yes please Dragon can we have another challenge, I have a long way to go yet!

    Not too bad a day so far - but I did have 2 bottles of cider yesterday whilst watching the rugby - just to settle my nerves:rotfl:
    What a fab win!

    Just back from a good hour long walk with the dog who looks all cute and fluffy after a bath and blow dry this morning.
    Just about to make some tea and then settle down after a bath to watch a film before work starts again tomorrow.

    Hope we all have a good week.:)
