Well done poundsinbucks. That's a tremendous achievement and so quickly too!:T:T:T

That's a great NSV for you penny and very mse too.:money:

I went to WI this morning and was delighted to lose 1.5 lbs.:j It's probably because of the alcohol free Saturday I had a couple of weeks ago.:D

I'm just a pound over target now and, more importantly, I'm in range so can go off on holiday without worrying about booking time off and I have some leeway to lose holiday gain when I get back!:D

It was a very nice group and I'll go there again if a Tuesday suits best. They were very welcoming so I stayed to group instead of weigh and go.:)

Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB Weetabix, HEA milk, half banana
L: JP with cottage cheese, ham, spring onion, beetroot, cornichons, tomato
SW chips, baked haddock, tomato, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, kale, mushy peas
Syns: None!

Well done PIB:T:T:T That's about the rate i lost when i started:D how much more do you want to lose

Probably at least another 2.5st. But will keep tweaking my target, I expect. Not sure what I am going to look like, being the wrong side of 50 now . Plus I am not sure where the weight will come off next. Tummy and legs would be good, hope to get more definition to my ankles :rotfl:. Main aim at the moment is still to get a healthy BMI. Am sure I am no longer morbidly obese, but am above the healthy range.

How did you, Target Members, decide on your target weight?

Two weeks tomorrow for three weeks and it's my annual trip to Turkey bubbs . Last year I put on half a stone mostly from chips, cheese and full fat tonic!

I used one of those height /weight charts poundsinbucks but my main aim was to be a size 12. I never weigh at home and I know from my (size 12:D) clothes when I'm gaining. Clean jeans are always a give away. My target weight is bang in the middle of the healthy range on the chart for 5ft 9.:D

That's the day I come home from France!

I'm like you maman clean Jean's day reveals where in target range I am. So far I'm still in target range but not sure I will be by the time I get home! I'm still eating on plan in the evenings but daytime is more difficult, what with bread, croissants etc.

Dinner: chicken fajita pie (from Pinch of Nom - haven't worked out syns yet), jersey royals, salad

That's on my list to try when I have another meat eater here aka DD1. I found a list of the syns online for the PON recipes - not sure of its accuracy but for the pie it suggests that it's free if you use HEA and HEB for it, 11 if not.

Finally feeling like I have actually lost some weight! 1st 8.5 lbs but its taken since New Year. I tried on loads of clothes in my wardrobe at the weekend including several that were obscenely tight last summer or that I couldn’t get in to.

It was a huge relief that I got into them easily and it cheered me up no end. i bought some white jeans about 4 years ago and only wore them a few times that summer. Every year since, there has been about a 5” gap where I can’t zip them up. I managed to get into them with a struggle and there is a big muffin top but hey, heading in the right direction!

Hope you all have a good week.

Well done! It gives you a great boost, doesn't it?

Although I feel a bit of a fraud claiming to be a target member at the moment, I chose mine at the top end of the healthy BMI for my height. I'm in my late 50s (don't know how that happened!) and I was concerned about my face falling in and saggy skin elsewhere. Some people choose a dress size they would like to be.

Stuck to plan today so it's a good start. Tomorrows plan:
B boiled eggs with crispbreads, 1/2 grapefruit
L More soup (the last of it) JP with tuna and salad
D Having a go at PONs spinach and ricotta cannelloni although mine will be a lasagne

Have a good evening all.

Evening all
Apologies for being AWOL, I have had the most crazy busy weekend. Needless to say there was much naughty stuff consumed Line is drawn though and back on it. I’m not weighing this week for a genuine reason (uni work) so I’m hoping that I’ve broke even by next week. However on Saturday I walked 15,000 steps and climbed the equivalent of 20 floors (Tube stations and broken escalators- gah, my knee is screwed now ) plus another 11000 on Sunday so I’m hoping that has maybe helped a little bit.
Menu for first day back on plan (Tuesday)
B: HEXB porridge with HEXA milk, blueberries, water
L: SW coronation chicken jacket potatoes and salad (2.5 syns for mango chutney in the CC) 2 x HiFi (6) remainder of my HEXA milk
T: SW ready meal with sugar snap peas, baby corn and carrots. Ice lolly (4) water
S: Chicken drumsticks, Horlicks made with water (5.5)
Hope all is well with everyone xx
