    Fab news on the lottery win :j Make sure you treat yourself to that bra.

    Well done resisting the chips, you might have enjoyed them at the time but regretted it much more later - just not worth it. Fingers crossed for a good result at the scales xx

    Fab win on the lottery, well done! Yes, factor in a new bra in your needs/wants - it’s a must! Demonstrating great discipline on the chips front (my OH was a member of SW and lost 2 stone in 4 months before his diagnosis. I ate the same food as him but synned all the time yet managed a half stone loss). Must be so nice being close to the beach. I was born in Devon and miss the seaside. Have a great day today xx

    Evening all :hello:

    Lost another 3lb at chub club, making 12lbs in 4 weeks :j. Only have to lose a stone a week for the next 6 weeks and I’ll look fabulous on my holidays :rotfl:.

    I transferred the £150 out of my online lottery account and decided on a whim to use £2 or the £3 left in there on an online scratch card. I won £30 :T:j:T:j. Might get that bra after all!!

    DS2 was put forward for an acting job today but we are on holiday during the filming dates :(. Gutted Xx
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
    Best win so far - holiday to Florida

    Fab weight loss, good on you! New bra in sight (I’ve never been lucky on scratch cards or the lottery). Bummer about the filming job for DS2 but Tenerife will make up for it and create family memories. Have a brill weekend xx
