Well done on those losses!

Food today:

1x crumpet topped with lemon & raspberry yoghurt and blueberries
Jacket potato filled with Chickpea and apricot tagine (Tesco tinned £1.80)

Snacks - Fruit

Not sure about the tagine but thought I'd share it with DS who likes Moroccan style food, me not so much.

Chair exercises day again.  Trying to aim for Mon, Wed and Fridays.  Body doesn't always agree but despite that I shall attempt three exercise days a week even if I have to shift them round. 

Craving boiled eggs and fingers so might have to work those into the food plan within the next couple of days.  Do you also find that when you're eating less you get these really strong desires for a particular food?  I always do but never happens when I'm not watching my weight.

Hope you don't mind me adding my 2p's worth? I crave weird things when I'm not getting enough of something, like cows licking gates when they need salt 😂. Especially at certain times of the month 🙄 (I crave red wine!!!)  Maybe your egg cravings are something similar?

Well done all, on persevering. I had a STS this week. Food choices have been up and down. I did manage to go swimming on Saturday, and will try to go again this weekend. Usually, I write down what I eat, but haven’t done that for a few days now, so will get back to making a record of food consumed.

I made a carrot and tomato soup, so will have that shortly, then a winter pasta for later 😊

Could well be a need, couldn't it? I had a similar fancy the other day for the stilton cheese and celery.  Could also be partly because I think of food a lot.    Once I've finished my January Pantry challenge I will definitely be having some salmon and cucumber sandwiches which I'm salivating thinking about.

Why done guys lots of lovely yellow on the chart quick count (may not be accurate 😁) but around the 60lb off in the first 3 weeks 👏👏👏👏

Ginger could the headache be drop in sugar? 

another 2lb loss for me this week 🙂

Bella_Budget

Well done on your loss @Brambling

60lbs in 3 weeks is a lot. Realised when I looked at the chart there that I'm half way to my target for this quarter so really shouldn't moan. Have two big nights out planned for this weekend so going to have to try and navigate them and not chomp all the goodies and nibbles people put out. Plus wine. Wine is not going to help my will power

Another STS for me. 

Gingerlily

Brambling yes it is from suddenly stopping the sugar. The gradual easing off wasn’t working. I knew I’d get symptoms but wasn’t expecting it to be so bad this time around as it hasn’t been previously.
