Hello all and well done to all those who have lost, and others for trying. :money:

Been an ok-ish week for me, did my first official weigh in on Monday and was mortified at the results :eek: but am just pleased to be taking steps to lower it. I've decided to *try* to use the ww points system to kerb my portion sizes, as left to my own devices I'm not so sure I would ever stop However I won't be eating any low fat foods (apart from mayo and salad cream) cos (1) DS can only eat full fat foods and can't afford to buy two lots of everything, and (2) I'm not keen on sweetners etc.

Was bad yesterday as DH took me and DS out for a valentines day lunch and ate a rack of ribs, chips, salad and dessert and then for dinner had massive bowl of pasta and cheese :mad: But today is a new day and you are such an inspiring bunch I will get back on the food wagon!:j

Food today: weetabix, salad for lunch with ham and all the leftover bits from the fridge and bread, dinner will be hm fishcakes with potatoes and veg. Followed by some delish choc (3 points) and a cuppa.

Good luck all!

Hi folks,

I failed miserably with the Valentines challange but I'm going to be eggsta good with the easter eggstravaganza:D I want half a stone off by then or I'm giving up:o . I'm going for a long walk tomorrow and will get a new pedometer as I know it's exercise that I am lacking.

Well done to all that made it or came close :T
Rose wood enjoy your family and hope it warms up a bit for you.
Taplady- you can tap those talons as well as those toes then!!

Have a great day

Morning ladies :hello:
I think I'm addicted to muesli ryvitas :rolleyes: *strange woman* Better than cream cakes I suppose!!
I felt nibbly last night so had my usual 2 then had another 2 then a packet of snackajacks. I'm following SW principles and am well inside my syns allowance for the week.
Went for a swim this morning - last morning with the car so took full advantage :T
I had 2 muesli crispbreads with a bit of marmalade before I left home, I've just had soaked oats with a bit of yoghurt and some berries, work is soooooooo busy at the moment I didn't have chance to eat it earlier :rolleyes2
Lunch is cottage cheese, salad and a bit of potato (left from last night) I've got fruit for snacks.
Tea is sweet potato and lentil burgers, new pots and brocolli with fruit and yoghurt for pud.

MrsM - Well done on the loss :T :T :T That pud sounds lush! I love cardammon, sort of spicy but lemony and.....well, nice!!

Frogga - I'm up for a challenge, I might actually lose some this time instead of putting it on :rotfl: :rotfl:

See you later folks :A

Hya folks

Well done Taplady and all the other losers, including Mrs M and juliejim

Not posted for a while and taken an hour to catch up with the old and new threads.

Now for the great news...I've lost 4 pounds this week!:j:j:j
I am now the lightest I have been for about 2 years...yippee!

I have not done much exercise yet as back is still painful, but improving. I have however made a conscious effort not to nibble too much in between meals. So it must be working.

I made the twinks hobnobs this week...63 on Tuesday and there are hardly any left today!...DSs 1 & 2 LOVE them...and they are better than flapjacks calorie-wise so I can see me making more.

This weight loss (I weighed in today rather than Valentines Day as I normally weigh in on Fridays), has meant I have made Mrs M's challenge with pounds to spare.

It also means that I have nearly made Frogga's Feb challenge (2 pounds to go), so I am having my own challenge: it is 5 weeks today to exactly Good Friday , so I am going for 7 pounds loss by then, starting today.

I have been up to my eyes in college work this past couple of weeks and handed in loads to my tutor last night . I thought I would be behind as I missed a couple of sessions due to my bad back, but I am one of the few to be up to date with the homework!

So today I am relaxing, catching up with this thread (and GC, not doing well there at all!!).

I am getting my hair cut at a posh hairdressers for FREE this afternoon! A voucher came through the post, so I am making the most of it. I haven't been to a shop to get my hair cut for over 10 years (use my friend who's a mobile hairdresser), so it will be an experience!

So I am really feeling great today...and England even won their cricket match this morning...what a day!

Food today

B: HM muesli with Soya milk...soo goood!
s: orange
L: Sandwich...freebie from college last night, scrummy!
s:?
T: HM fajitas with Mrs M's tortillas

Hope you all have a great day and weekend...I'll let you know how the haircut turns out!

Just a quickie, feeling rotten as I have a fever, pains and aches and am so tired I feel that I haven't slept for a week, BUT I have lost two pounds this week, which means that I am now one whole pound less than I was in September.

Back later, love to all

Just been for my walk. Decided as it wasn't raining and the sun was attempting to come out, I'd carry on and walk to get bread. Went a slightly shorter route though so was 3 miles - still took me an hour though (including waiting to be served in the shop). Sure I can get that down to less.

Well Done MrsM :T again!

Easter Sunday is March 23rd so it will be exactly 3 weeks after the Fab Feb Challenge finished ~ sounds like a great mini challenge to me! :T

For this challenge I am going to try 6lbs, could this be done?

Hello.

Had mt friend over today with her son, so I haven't done any working out tthis week, next week doesnt look possible either school holidays here, and if I start the children will either dive around with me (and not in a good way either they'll end up right under my feet and no exaduration (sp)and I'll end up hurting them by either stomping on them or kicking them:mad: ) and/or they will keep asking what I a doing (painting a bus whats it look like!!) so no way will I be able to keep focused while doing it if their there....anyway.................

Today I have had.

B- nothing

l- small salad and slice of bread i bearly touched.

t - spag bol.

snacks orange, teas and a coffee.....I'll have a yogurt while the children are eating their tea (i eat with the hubby when he comes in from work but sit at the table while my children eat) I'm having a couple off beers tonight:rotfl:

Yesterday didnt go that well, I had 5 rachers of bacon and a bite of bread, but i did take all the fat off and didnt quite eat all the bacon, I had and asda curry for tea and 3 beers:mad: well it was VD LOL.
