Hi everyone
Can I join in? Just started going to Slimming World and feel SOOOO guilty paying out £4.50 a week for it but decided if I didnt do something about my weight soon I would end up a fat old woman! Plus I'm doing race for life so need to lose weight for that as I am determined to be able to run a little bit of it.
Weight loss so far 4.5 lb (1 week) :jDebt at lightbulb moment (Dec 06) £60,502
Debt Jan 11 £18010
70% repaid
Debtfree date: December 2011
Proud to be dealing with our debts0 -

Done really well today
have resisted the temptation of going to sainsburys to get biscuits (though the rain might have something to do with it!) I've had:
- Breakfast - cereal with soya milk
- Lunch - soup
- Tea - wholemeal pasta with a tomato and garlic sauce
- snack - melon and an apple
I'm really scared to weigh myself though... might wait a few days and see if i can make myself do it

1) cut out the flapjack & chocolate - 1 bar allowed on sunday during 24
2) eat a more varied breakfast / lunch - going to check out OS meal plans for ideas.
3) run 2-3 times a week
4) attend body pump 2 times a week
5) attend spinning (or go offroad on my mountain bike) once a week
7) lose 1-2lb a week
I thought i'd post an update (for my own motivation rather than thinking anyone would actually want to read it!)
I posted the above 'plan' 2 weeks ago. Since then i've eaten no flapjack :A and less chocolate. Not managed the varied breakfast or lunch so i'll concentrate on that this week.
I have done 5 body pump sessions, 2 spinning classes and 3 running sessions + 1 race so i guess im not far off target in that respect. Need to fit more running time in. God knows where, cut out sleep perhaps?!?!:rolleyes:
But the most annoying this is i have only lost 1lb :eek: :mad:0 -
well done Kazl for joining and all the other newbies! congrats on the weight loss too - 4.5lbs a week is great!!0
