Brambling said:At the risk of sounding like Frankie Howard 'ooh missus you wouldn't get many of this to the pound' 😁 the only other thing I will say is on me they are the last place to lose weight and the first place to put it back on 🙄
I've surprised myself with a -1lb loss this week which considering I was hunting Rennie before bed last due to a week of bad choices I was surprised 😁
Chris great start to the challenge 👏
Enjoy N Wales Suffolksue hopefully it wouldn't be too wet

I did have my sense of progress rewarded today when I decided that I could no longer wander about with my trousers at half mast. So even though I'm STS currently I now am maintaining my dignity thanks to having added a belt. I'll just have to ensure I give myself more time when I need to go to the loo - no more just inhaling and letting the trousers drop to the floor!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Yesterdays food
Cereal bar and fruit salad
Half a tin of soup, packet of melba toast and a couple of satsumas
Half a chicken jalfrezi ready meal (217 cal) with a side salad and a couple of spuds, Mr P does not eat rice and I tend to stay away due to IBS. Food delivery day so its a minimal food prep day.
Treats, 93 cal Aero mouse and another cereal bar - I try and make sure any treat is 100 cal or less.
@Brie congratulations on the pants.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

Three days of staying within calories and dog walking every day - now fighting the urge to have a glass of wine! Going to keep busy until bedtime.4

I was recommended the white chocolate kvarg however the only place in town to buy it is Tesco (unfortunately not the T Express) and I really go up there, I may make the effort
CCW007 good luck in resisting temptation

Yay, I managed to stay off the wine last night and therefore stayed within calories.
This weekend may be difficult as I am meeting a friend which usually involved tea and cake and visiting my family Saturday night and Sunday. I will do my best to make good choices and make sure I'm back on the calorie counting again from Monday.
I will be having wine tonight and tomorrow night though!4 -
Hi everyone. I have fallen off the wagon, chased it furiously and finally got back on it at last. (again)
However, It has gone ok for the last few days. If it is not too late to join, my goal this time is 14 pounds, and my loss for this week was one and a half pounds.4 -
