    Really encouraging to see the losses Brambling and Leftatthetrafficlights. Well done!

    Food today:
    Avocado on 1x granary toast
    Spaghetti Bolognese with a sprinkling of cheddar.
    4x crackerbread & 4 ritz with a little Ginger and mango wensleydale (Morrisons)

    Snacks - A small tin of Del Monte pineapple rings

    The pineapple works out  as a very economical treat at just 50p a tin as Morrisons is selling them @2 for £1.  The larger tins are 2 for £1.50 so I may be missing a trick. They really do taste delicious.

    Morning all xx 

    Monday morning weigh in revealed + 0.5 lb. 

    I'm surprised it's not more to be honest. Some old bad habits creeping back in eg snacking in the evenings.

    Well done to those who are feeling motivated 👏.  I'll just creep back  into my cave and hibernate 😴 And 🤐 to prevent snacking.

    Morning all,

    Happy to report a 6 1/2 lb loss today.   :D  That was a nice start. 

    Snacking is the trickiest bit isn't it, Roundtuit. Still, 1/2lb gain is more of a maintain than a gain in my book. Especially if you've enjoyed some extra bits.  ;)

    Food today:
    2 x Marmalade on wholemeal toast.
    Tuna pizza, salad and a little aioli dressing
     
    Snacks - satsumas and pineapple rings

    Well I'm not sure what's happening this month. I can't stop snacking! A +2 1/2lb for me 😥 I just feel hungry all the time and constantly searching the cupboard. 
    Well done everyone who's managing to stick to it and not giving in to temptation of all the christmas food.
