1lb loss this week, only another 1/2lb to go. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it...

:T :j Congratulations Dragon, that's amazing! :j :T
Good luck everyone else

OG I'm so sorry you have the worry of your MiL, hope all will resolve itself without any more problems, and that your DH can get something done about safeguarding her account.

Today will be much as yesterday
B - F&F, ss milk
L - (scraping of) peanut butter roll. Salad roll. Apple
D - chicken salad
S - fresh fruit
E - 1x10 mins done, just about to attack the bathroom, another 10mins afterwards

Have a sunny day

I am unbelievably disgusted with myself this morning as I am +1lb :mad:

However I know its down to lack of exercise and a overindulgence of carbs. I havent had much work recently, so not charging everywhere in a blind panic :rotfl: and STILL looking for that second job for the extra money, but nowhere is biting. Le sigh......

Anyhow the digestive biscuits from yesterday are now all gone (!) so I will NOT be buying any more.....

mealplan today:
b - cereal, 3 small spoonfuls of nutella
l - tuna salad with extra celery.
d - mini rustlers hotdog with salad.
snacks - none if I can help it

exercise - shops, painting (the diy sort) stressing over DM's Will (again!)

Hi Mrs Dragon,

Congratulations and thank you for all your sterling work :beer:

Hi Financially Gaga,

Thanks for the hugs.... I feel better already...

Hi Sparrer,

I hope so too... Every time he has gone into the bank, they have said that he can't do this and that ... until he asks them where in the Power of Attorney does it say he can't as he has full control, but so does his mother as she still has her mental faculties... I think the strain of trying to look after her husband has finally taken its toll...

Anyway, I stepped onto the wii scales this morning ... I felt so low that I was expecting the worse.... I stood in the same clothes I always wear.... My long cotton nightshirt thingy.... and guess what ???? I have lost 3 lbs.... I wouldn't have believed it.... but I think that I have been eating a bag of crisps instead of a meal so it has not been an add-on of calories.... :beer:

It's given me a boost so I hope I can lose more weight as I am off on holiday in September and hope to shift some more of the lard...

So definitely sign me up for the next challenge, Mrs Dragon... :A

Well, I am knee deep in receipts so I am off to check them with my bank statements.... What a lot of paper we get.... Especially junk mail and we are supposed to live in a paperless society !!!!

Good luck to everyone.....:)

You'll never guess... The first envelope had a cashback cheque of £20 from his insurance company .... Things are looking up already :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The_Dragon

Well done officeguru - and :beer: to the cheque!

Well done Dragon,OG and Sparrer!!

FG- I think its all about frame of mind and mine is so so wrong at the min!

Dragon-Im sorry to be a pain but can I drop out of this challenge and start a fresh with the next challenge please?
Couple of reasons- I brought a new set of scales last night as the ones at my friends house are rubbish and these are showing me even heavier than I thought i was so rather than say im plus 'X' LBS i can start a fresh for the next challenge using these scales only
Plus having just come back from hols im finding healthy eating/exercise so hard going at the min

Ill still post on here if thats ok with everyone but wont state a target loss or weigh in until the new challenge

Hopefully these next couple of week i can get my head in gear and start the next challenge positively

On the plus point but off topic I have stopped smoking :j hadnt smoked for years then started again xmas when my relationship broke down so im glad to be rid of that flithy habit again (guess this maybe why im finding NOT eating so hard :rotfl:)

Be good all

I've lost 2lbs - yippeeeeeee It'll keep until the weekend Dragon and hopefully inspire me to keep trying.

Got on the Wii this morning, fully expecting it to say I'd put it back on, but no..........I have actually lost 2lbs
and kept it off all week!

Re: bread-
I like my bread too, but recently I've been buying really nice bread like walnut bread - the sort you buy loose rather than pre-packed. I've been rationing myself to just one slice and having an open sandwich with some ham or cheese and fruit. Today's lunch was walnut bread, cheese and an apple and a big mug of water. I really know how to live

OG - Is your MIL able to understand about money at all? Could your DH talk to her and maybe put her debit card in a safe place, so if she needs cash someone could go with her? We had problems with my dearly departed MIL who had dementia, so you have my sympathies. It's not easy. Hope everything sorts out ok.

I stopped junk mail by signing up to the mail preference service http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/ but still seem to acumulate about a bin liner of shredding a fortnight. Fortunately DD uses it as dog bedding so it doesn't exactly get wasted, but it's sad to think of all the trees that are cut down for dogs to pee on - they manage that perfectly well with trees that are growing in the ground!

Have just had a slice of very sweet fresh pineapple, I got a Titan bar out of the freezer earlier but not going to need it, the pineapple satisfied my sugar craving very nicely

Thanks Dragon, nice one ladies, I think this is the last week coming up so really going to push for going out with a good result then join in the new challenge with gusto . Exhausted just thinking about it ha ha - sweet dreams
