    Count me in please.

    I've not been around this month... it's been pretty awful actually :( Another death in our family that was totally unexpected and have been pretty busy with dealing with things. Now a possible house move too!!

    I'll weigh in on the 1st of September and post it then. Had started August pretty well but by the end of the 1st week all hell broke loose and I didn't have time to eat properly as I haven't been home for most of the month. What I have ate has been utter rubbish :o
    Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.
  • Morning All.

    Right, today I am planning to 'warm up to the challange'.

    I am on annual leave so I will be shopping and can make good choices without my usual style of throwing stuff in cos I'm in a rush.

    I can also use today to familiarize myself with the MyFitnessPal website so I can be ready and able to throw myself into losing weight from the 1st.

    I also plan to fit in some Wii Fit exercise today (arnt I an angel?) and to take some time to give myself a stern talking too!

    Hope you all have a good day,

    Hello, can i join too please?

    I only need to lose 8lbs in total but it's that same 8lbs which has crept on, then off, then on, then off (you get the picture!) since DD2 was born. I'm only petite so any extra weight makes me look like a dumpling :o Mmmm dumplings - no, no, no - FOCUS! :rotfl:

    I'm already looking forward to autumn (my favourite clothes season), i'm so over this pretend summer and i don't want all my pretty tea dresses to be too tight so here i am.

    Meal plan for today:

    Breakfast: Tea, small glass of OJ, fruit and yoghurt

    Dinner: Hommous (can never spell this!) and salad sandwich on seeded bread, fruit

    Snack: Rice cakes with low fat philly and cucumber

    Tea: Spanish Omelette and salad

    Treat: G&T and a few squares of dark choc - it is Friday!

    Lots of water and fruit teas throughout the day too

    Good luck all :j

    K xx

    Edited to add - my starting weight is 9st 11lb

    hi everyone, can i join again. Last month turned out to be a loss of 2lb - im not displeased, but really would like to lose the 7lb, so i am quitting alcohol, so i will see if that helps. Starting weight this month is 10st 1. To be honest, getting under 10st would be a challenge for me as i just cant seem to loose any more, but i still have a big belly !!! Good luck everyone.

  • Afternoon all :)

    Well my good intentions slipped last night as i also had a bowl of tortilla chips with my G&T and choccie but we'll forget that :o

    Today's meal plan

    Breakfast - Tea and orange juice, didn't get up until 10am and wasn't hungry

    Dinner - Baked sweet potato, cottage cheese and salad, fruit

    Snack - hm hommous and oatcakes

    Tea - Chicken & chickpea curry, brown rice

    Treat - G&T and not sure what to nibble on yet

    Water and fruit teas throughout the day

    I'm looking forward to getting back to normal next week when DD goes back to school, DS doesn't start until the end of Sept but i find it so much easier with routine. Also my exercise should increase
    with walking to and from school to collect them (DH drops them off in the morning on his way to work).

    Have a good weekend all :)
