    Afternoon All :)

    my LTW today was ham salad wholemeal wrap, with a dollop of chilli sauce and mayo. It was lovely!

    Well done Juno on your weight loss! I weighed myself the other day and have gained the 4lbs that I lost! I need to stop eating so much junk!

    Today is day 15 :j so not brought a single work lunch yet.
  • 15 out of 15 so far. Not planning any bought lunches next week, so could do a full month. This challenge is great for keeping you on the right track!

  • 12/12 so far and I've got my lunch in the fridge ready for tomorrow's shift.

    Anyone got any sandwich/wrap suggestions? At the moment I'm alternating between pastrami, smoked cheese, pickle and mustard and spicy tuna & bean wraps. Both delicious but I feel I could be doing with a bit of inspiration for a change.

    Not much help on the wrap inspiration front, as you'll see my lunch is usually a tin of soup - not very inspiring :(
    Must try harder and get more organised x
  • Big, fat fail day for me today :( shop bought sarnie 'twas very nice though - and I gave in to my craving of chocolate, crisps and sweets, not all together spread out throughout the day. If Im gonna fail best fail good style. Hope tomorrow's a better day xx
  • Up to 20 LTW days and everyone in the office bought lunch today - I actually think it's getting easier to say no. I will definitely be bringing lunch to work on Monday, so that will be every working day in March. I've also been using up bits of food for lunches or saving leftover dinner, so I'm wasting less food too.

    At work, we've all given up some kind of food for lent, so we've planned to have a great for lunch at the end, I'm also off for a week in April. Apart from the planned treat day, I will go for all the other working days - once I've figured the number out, I'll see you all on the April board!

  • Well I missed my target but I wasn't far off. In the end I managed 12 days - I will do better next month :)
