:doh: almost forgot - what is everybody's target for next challenge? I think MRSM said target date is Good Friday? I'm gonna go for 7lbs by then. I'm hoping with a combo of exercise, healthier choices and smaller portions I can do it!:T

:beer: Come on everyone, last push before Easter!! (Then me and H2B will be sharing a hotel chocolat egg if I reach my target!) :beer:

my target will be to stay at my target weight with all the eater choccies around!;)

MRSM - had a small slice of bakewell this time - no coffee cake -but it was delicious!:D

Hello all! What a lovely thread - full of support just what is needed.
Can I join? I was looking to buy a little notepad or something to write down everything I eat, in the hope it may put me off some of those extra treats.
To sum up, it took me 5 months to lose a stone and a half and I was a couple of pounds off my target weight at xmas, I was so pleased! Then xmas came, I gave up smoking (well, giving up!) and have put on 10 pounds. Devastated. It is only my own fault though I have been pigging out and this is the week I'm going to turn it around. I want to lose a stone by Good Friday.

Hi Skintbutsmiling and welcome :beer: You'll easily loose a stone by Good friday :T Good Luck.

I was born on a Good Friday That's why it's called "Good" Friday, just because of me, you didn't know that did ya?

I know she will have done all sorts of snacky things, garlic bread etc and this is what I cant resist- but must, as I worked out all the little 100 cal snacks really add up dont they.

I posted a recipe a while back...and i think it was cheerfulness (sorry if im wrong) who made them without skins to see if it was worth buying a machine and they were a hit with her family :j

Yeppers was me and the family loved them. My mum loved them, too.
I would definitely recommend having a go as it was real fun and now I've got a book from the library with lots of other seasoning and flavours so I'm all set for next month. :T

Before I forget - welcome skintbutsmiling (lovely name) and well done Chloe! I have found on the weeks that I've lost a lb that I've had to hold on tight but, as we all say, any loss is a good loss .. the rest will soon follow.

I havent had my fruit pot yet (wow!) but note to self- must not sit down when I finish work and have little snack ie toast, biccies etc. I will have my fruit pot & tidy up!

Evening everyone

Thanks for that Cheerfulness... nice to know im not losing the plot entirely

Howdy doody to all the newbies and welcome on board

Taplady...pleasssssse tell me it was bakwell tart....and not the proper bakewell pudding ... living in nottinghamshire, Matlock, bakewell etc were regular places for us to visit..but have you ever tried bakewell pudding? oh my god it soooo sweet..and an awful texture - i put one spoonfull in my mouth in the "pudding shop" and had to dash to the loo to spit it out.. it was revolting... so hubby ate it and then spent the rest of the day in the loo as the sugar went "straight through him" :rotfl: ..now bakewell tart is a whole different thing mmmmmmm almonds :drool:

BigMummaF... hope thing improve for you soon, and we have your lovely sense of humour back on here ASAP

Newlywed.. that is what i used to do when i lived on my own and had one of those key card things..... well mine was one of those where you got the pink bits of cardboard..so i would buy a months worth but not put them all in at once or you get carried away with not flicking lights off etc :mad: ... those things were a nightmare...
Hope you do get paid tomorrow..fingers crossed;)

Well i can vouch for the tortilla dough being frozen :j ....I took the 4 balls of dough out of the freezer this morning, and when i cam to roll them out it was a little stickier so needed a bit more flour..but they rolled out a lot thinner and so much bigger :T which means in future im going to have 1 cut in half -as in my head i still will see 2 on my plate :rotfl: ..less cals and less pennies :j .
Im making a double batch next time and sticking them in the freezer

Hubby has just given me the house keeping - so i will have a walk tomorrow to shove €300 in the savings account..yipee a walk..have had 3 days without :eek:

It also looks like we WILL be going to Kefalonia late next year :j well everything going to plan ...so if i needed any more incentive to stick to this eating plan...there it is especially as that is where i had "THAT" photo taken last year :eek: ..will get one taken in the same place as a replacement :rotfl:

right i had best get off, hope everyone has a good evening..
hello to anyone not mentioned

newlywed

Wages cleared early - surprised but not complaining

Have got stuff from Aldi - as well as haribo party pack which me and OH have been munching our way through

Thursday will do a Sainsbug shop for our "fussy bits" - their tuna in springwater is cheaper than branded and OH won't have the brine or oil options - he eats it every day though :rolleyes: Plus PG So will allocate £40 for that shop - which will be difficult for me with the cupboards being so empty

Then will have £40 a week food/household shops after that. I WILL do £40 shops, honestly - well I'll try really hard

As I was saying to someone who left me a pm thanks you know who you are:D , i am more angry than upset she went before her birthday, but she has been poorly for sometime now, and in a way feel happier (for her) shes not in pain any more.

Anyway, i have ate good and find this a good way to focus as well,
