Im the same - I remember "in the old days" my husband and I (as impoverished students!) used to share a goodfellas pizza and there was enough left for packed lunch the next day for both of us. Now we could eat one each and half a loaf of garlic bread each too - how did THAT happen LOL!!! I agree it is a whole relearning process, convincing yourself you are not going to WASTE AWAY if you dont have that pack of crisps or 3 biscuits with a cuppa. It had got to the stage where I couldnt have a cup of tea without 3 biscuits...why? My body must have convinced my brain. So I am drinking lots more hot water now instead - the biccies dont taste half as good dunked in hot water LOL!!

SO true!! Also recommend herbal tea - especially mint tea - choccy biccies just don't taste the same!!

According to my scales, I have nothing off at all, not even an ounce :eek:
Will weigh myself in the morning again, If I remember!

AB, don't worry, WI tomorrow morning and you will probably be lighter than you are now.

I'm not worried at all, haven't gotten back to full swing at work after the new year so it will all start to get a move on soon

Well **drumroll** WI tonight and 3 and a half lbs off (Tara don't know where you got the 4 out of I wish!) I'm so pleased, that's me back to pre-Xmas weight. All I need now is to keep it up for my weekend in London. Anyone got some spare determination cos I think I'll need every ounce? Told DH I wasn't drinking and I could tell he was thinking that not drinking meant only a couple of large glasses per night. I did agree one glass when I get there but I am definitely sticking to no more than one glass a day, and hopefully not even that every day. That way I can hang onto any shreds of willpower I do have

I am 1 and a half lbs off losing a stone. What do you think? Do I have any chance for next week??

Yes, you will surely do it!!! Well done on the 3.5lbs loss wooooo!

As for the 4lbs, I got you mixed up with netskii, sorry xoxo

Well done on the 3.5 lbs off BG23!!! That's fantastic!! And you are so good even thinking of keeping it going in London - I think I would be having a weekend off!! Good luck with that, and sounds like you'll be doing loads of walking which is good plan!! Not sure how to deal with the stopping at 1 glass of wine - what about spritzers - white wine and soda, to make it last longer?

Changed my WI day to Friday - so fingers crossed for the morning...!!

Ooh..hubby has noticed slight change in my shape! AND Ive lost 2lbs hoorah. Well done everyone!!

Well last night not so great, DH had bought a large bar of green and black milk chocolate and you can guess the rest although I did manage to eat it slowly enough that he had about half as well. And the one glass of wine. Just been out for lunch but stuck with the soup and bread and had a good walk to get there. Just three more days to go

Glad to hear you're all doing well.

I am doing very badly today, how many calories in a croissant again?

I am throwing the second one in the bin (or OH).
