Making chicken feed of my mortgage

I too had a stack of sains vouchers on the doormat this week.


They must be realise that I am really tight as I have save £2.50 off a £15 spend.

They are also doing till spits for money off petrol again - in my case 7 p/L if I spend £20 on laundry and cleaning products, loo paper, bin bags etc.

Plan for today:

- chub club (just weighed on the bathroom scales and I was 159.8 :j I can't remember the last time I weighed 150-something, well over 10 years ago anyway - I think I weighed 10.5 stone when we got married and then gained 0.5 stone/year thereafter )
- hairdressers
- get measured and possibly buy some new underwear
- drop some stuff off at Oxfam
- clean chicken coop
- deadhead in the garden and possibly mow the lawn

I lost 3lbs on the chub club scales :j
I'm 4lbs away from losing 20% and 7lbs away from goal

Eggs IN 4
Eggs OUT 6 (1 box given to lovely hairdresser)

Well done on the weight loss, that's inspirational! Can I ask how you have done it?

I've always eaten fairly healthily (with the odd binge ) but I knew that my portion control was out of control... Also after several years of yo-yoing weight I decided that I needed the encouragement/motivation of a group of like-minded people to get the weight off and keep it off, so I joined WeightWatchers.

My portion control is much better now (although after 6+ months I still have to work hard at it)

I no longer eat breakfast before I leave for work, instead I take it with me and eat it a couple of hours later. Before I would eat breakfast when I wasn't hungry and then need a snack at 09:00!

I also realised that I might have been eating healthy snacks but the quantity/frequency I was eating them meant that I was consuming way too many calories for my sedentary job.

Lovely day walking around London (20 km/29,000+ steps) and bumped into a couple we met in Vietnam :cool:

I love bumping into people in London, it's so unlikely in some ways, but brilliant when it happens
