    Who you with SW or WW ? I get them, joined WW at 8! Thanks to my mum but they treat all foods as sins or calories, trouble with that is we all have our own foods that don't "suit" us, mine is anything wheat based, in fact most people have issues that way (I've lost 6 St, added it back, lockdown finished me off and lost 4st this time, DH has lost 7st) Airfry chips 🍟 😋 not had chips for a year

    @Humdinger1 chip butty 😮 I shall celebrate with a small one (white bread, plenty of butter) when I hit my target 🤭
    @SueP19 Just calorie counting. I’m using Nutracheck, which has been a bit of a game changer for me. It’s so easy to use. I have done SW in the past, but I didn’t get on with all the cooking from scratch after work and, although I did lose weight, it was hard to keep up with (plus I found the unlimited foods dangerous). I’ve been much happier going back to basics with calories. It’s very slow, but I guess that’s my age and lack of time for exercise, but on the plus side I was only teetering on the obese bmi and got down to overweight in a few days of being good. I’ve never been so happy to be overweight 🤣 The obese rating really shocked me. I had moved up to sz 14 jeans (which I said I never would 😕), but I didn’t realise I was heading to that milestone! I haven’t had any proper bread this month and only an odd wrap occasionally. I think anything yeasty isn’t my friend. You’ve done amazingly well losing 4st! 
    Today is just work as usual. Nothing exciting going on here. I spent £20 yesterday on a pretty candle in a faceted glass jar for a friend who’s having a rough time and £13 on some gummy vit D supplements (as I can’t stomach the horse pill type tablets). I’m not planning any spending today.
    I hope you all have a lovely day ☕️⭐️

    Those unlimited foods are definitely dangerous.  A girl I worked with was eating 2 punnets of grapes a day.  That was almost 700cals before she even started.  But she decided they knew best!

    Crazy. You can actually train yourself to eat and need more that way 😟

    Wow @badmemory that's soooo bad 

    Calorie counting is a really good way to do it 👍

    0.2 down even with a 6.30 weigh in, so 4.2 in total. Hoping to creep to 5 by the weekend. I cracked and had a bag of crisps and a caramel egg yesterday, so had to have a very low calorie tea of low cal cauliflower cheese and some microwaved vegetables 😅 So I was just under the calories for the day even with the treats…this is why calories work for me if I’m determined.
    Just work today, but the pay slips will be on line. It’s a lot milder here at the moment, it feels a bit strange after the freezing cold!
    I hope you all have a lovely day, filled with all the good things you deserve 🌟

    Hats off to you for sticking to so few calories. I couldn’t do it.
    Yesterday was a high consumption day for me (changing my mindset…..nearly said bad day 😂😂😂, but it was actually really nice 😉) I could kick myself as I’d done really well…..the chocolate shop of the Hotel had 70% off  Christmas stock  so a pack of cranberry Elton mess chocs fell into my bag and a couple jumped into my mouth…..as did a glass of wine when I ended up going out for tea - my best laid plans to stay on track we’re scuppered 😏

  • You can still have lovely chocolate and wine and not have outrageous calories @milann, I bet you weren’t as bad as you think. I would have fallen into the sale of the chocolate of the hotel with both hands 😅 They don’t have much online (I checked).

    Oh I’m sorry, I’m trying to share the enthusiasm! I’m just thinking how smug I’ll feel when I can fit back into my clothes AND breathe at the same time 🤣
