    LTW # 3 for me - wafer thin chicken in brown bread with WW spread. Banana and a couple of easy peelers for dessert. Free teas and coffees at work this week (induction week).

    I love free ANYTHING,but free coffee is like hitting gold, LOL. Enjoy :)

    Hello, can I please join in? I have been buying lunch almost every day lately and it's getting daft!

    I have 18 days in work this month, but I'm also a 5:2 dieter, meaning I plan to have only 12 days where I will need lunch (no fast days this week as I'm a bit run down). I bought lunch yesterday and I've decided that's now it for the month!

    So I'm aiming for 11 please :)

    Welcome Enchilada, i have added you :)

    I have heard really good things about the 5:2 diet, my friend has lost a couple of stones so far.

    Thanks WantToBeSE- I can highly recommend it! I've lost nearly a stone and am almost at my maintenance weight, meaning I will soon start fasting only one day a week!

    I tend to eat nothing until dinner so I can have a bigger meal and I'm usually stuffed afterwards! Then I know I can have whatever I like the next day. As long as I drink enough water I don't feel hungry at all and I find it easier than thinking about food constantly.

    I'm becoming quite evangelical about it :beer:
