    Morning all.

    Sounds like a good plan Mac, I would love to be able to give up class, but I know I wouldn't stick with it, so I carry on going. I am sympathise on the need for a big weight loss, once I get down to target I will have lost about 6 and a half stone and I still have just over 2 to go! It feels like such a big task, but if you look at it half a stone at a time, it doesn't seem so bad!

    Don't worry about the pizza to much, so long as your good the rest of the time you should be fine.

    Well I still have a stonking cold and feel like poo, so I am not expecting a loss this week, I feel far to full of yukky stuff!!

    Chloebelle - Getting into that dress sounds like a good idea, I tried that last year, only problem was I'd lost so much I wanted something new to show off my new figure!! (that was pre LBM though!!)

    Keep up the good work everyone and 'think thin!'

    Well Done on all the walking. I wish I had the motivation to get off my bottom and do something.

    I might go to a dance class if I feel any better tomorrow.

    Hello! Me again!

    Well I was a good girl yesterday and restrained myself from eating too much - I only had one baked potato for dinner last night instead of 2 like OH and DS did! I messed up a bit today when I ate 2 biscuits that were a free gift from Sainsburys last week. Only after I ate them did I work out the points value and discovered they were 2 points each - ouch!! I had a lovely lunch - a variation on the noodle salad that Nigella did on telly last night - but discovered that with all the peanut butter in it that it was quite high in points. Oops!

    Oh well early days I suppose! But it means I have only about 4 points left for dinner. That's not good - it is equivalent to a nice yoghurt or a potato and beans with a tsp flora or some veggie sausages and free veg. Not a lot then!

    I have set some more money targets for myself but I think I might set myself a separate one for this challenge - perhaps to pay a certain amount off one of the credit cards. Hmmm! I will have a think!

    We all get it wrong sometimes, I'm struggling with being ill,I want to get all the things I'm not allowed, so i am going to make a nice vat of shepards pie mix and eat that, because for some reason that's what I want!

    Try and have something that will fill you up, especially if you don't have points left for snacks this evening!

    Hi I'm back!

    I've had a think and I have decided what my money challenge is going to be for this one. For every pound in weight I lose I am going to pay an extra (on top of my minimum payments) £5 off my Tesco credit card. This is the one that has the highest APR and the lowest balance (of my low rate LOB cards) so I could go a long way to actually paying it off.

    Ooh that was quite exciting working that out!

    Will you add me to your spreadsheet (or whatever you're using!) now Lucy and give me an official number so I can add it to my sig? Can't believe how fired up I am about this!! (see my previous post for my weight challenge)

    Hi Piggin

    Your official number is............. 033!

    You have been added to the spreadsheet and I am ready for all reported weight losses!!

    Paying some money off the credit card sounds like a really good idea.

    Done! Blimey it was tricky getting it all to fit though! I have had to lose my OD figure and LBM date for now.

  • Hi everyone ive been missing from this thread for a while, I have been sulking and wallowing in self pity.I only managed to lose half a pound! its all my own fault I had a row with OH on Friday and turned to the cupboard for sympathy.Im not even going to post what I ate, im so ashamed.Once I fell off the wagon I was on a roll.Yesterday I managed to give myself a good talking to and im hopeful for a better week but I feel ashamed I only managed half a pound on my first week.Anyway whats done is done.Im getting my hair done tomorrow that always makes me feel better about myself so I will try harder had steamed fish and cous cous for lunch thats ok isnt it? Well done for everyone who has done well this week.Please feel free to give me a pep talk and tell me off I need it, dont be soft with me im the type of person that needs a straight talking to.
