May goal is 6 lbs as I've just put one on as per this morning's weigh in. Not good.

At least you have a starting point now INOD. 1st day of the month so new start

I know. I've decided that any week I lose, I will put £3 aside for either a treat or an op depending upon what is most pressing.

Had to think then what op was - I had visions of you putting £3 towards some sort of surgery! Luckily I twigged it meant overpayment - d'oh!

I'm currently in the process of setting myself up with a proper meal plan for the week with everything pointed (including wine!!). Off to do a workout now - holiday in 7 weeks and 5 days (eek).

I had the same thought go through my mind also Sun Addict!

I am quite proud of myself for yesterday's eating, stayed within my points for the day and had a lovely cheap hall of yellow sticker fish from Mozza's which will set me up for lots of yummy healthy meals for the next couple of weeks.

Today i am planning to eat:

Breakfast - Crumpets with jam and butter
Lunch - Veggie sausages, scrambled egg and grilled tomatoes and mushrooms
Dinner - Haddock Florentine with carrots and Jersey royals

Snack will be fruit and carrot sticks with hummus.

I've got some cheap fizz in the fridge, but its been there so long, I don't think I want to risk drinking it! I know alcohol is a preserver, but still ... anyone know how you can tell if cava's gone off?

Taste it? Also if it has gone flat.

Re-discovered a fab free 12 week weight loss plan with printable guides and a printable meal/exercise planner plus exercise classes on the NHS Choices website: https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/weight-loss-guide/Pages/losing-weight-getting-started. I had forgotten all about this, I remember looking at it a couple of years ago. Would be brilliant for those doing calorie counting but you could tailor it to WW or anything else. The "Oops" bit where you record unplanned snacks/drinks made me smile as it only has two lines to fill in - I reckon I could fill a whole sheet most days!

Me too, my day usually consists of.......

Breakfast - Nailed it!
Lunch - nailed it
time between lunch and dinner.........starting to get a bit peckish here, wonder what there is in the cupboard to tide me over.
After dinner.........raid everything in cupboard and fridge, basically have one of EVERYTHING
Sleep, feel guilty, REPEAT
