I'll add you to the chart, do you want to set yourself a target for the end of the quarter?

Well done everyone
SSue ouch on the hip, i' had to see the physio about my hip and I must do better with the exercises she gave me now my gout is better. Like you I'll need to lose weight before any op and seeing how I reacted to the anesthetic when i had my gall stone out I would prefer to avoid that as long as possible.
Have a good weekLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin3 -
1.5 lb off for me please Brambling, many thanks for updating it is really helping.
Izadora - Mr Pepper always says he loses weight when he is on holiday with me, I would live on JP's, fruit and noodles if I was on my own, ( pity I still don't have the 16 inch waist I had when he met me), he needs a regular feed and I should not complain but it's breakfast in bed when he's on holiday. Congratulations on the 5.5, that's amazing, well done.
Gingerlily - The chicken and mushroom sauce sounds lovely, it's one thing I always order when we go to the Canaries at Christmas, it always tastes better when someone else makes it.
We are having BBQ for tea, I think the no bread and only a couple of spuds is working.
Have a good week everyone.

@Suffolksue sorry to hear about you hip pain, my friend has an appointment to have hers replaced later this year and had to lose the weight for it, I didn't think she needed to lose much but she has had to drop about 45 lb, fingers crossed for your PB'sMFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

Hi
Well done on your loss jennystarpepper.
Hello simplelivingcottage, I like the idea of a simpler easier diet.
Todays breakfast was dippy eggs with crispy bacon soldiers and 2 coffees with cream. Other meal: lettuce with mozzarella and vinegerette then a chicken mushroom eggplant red curry soup concoction using up fridge dribs and drabs. Dessert is sugar free jelly and cream. I’ve accounted for a couple of cups of tea with milk today as well.
