[Corkscrew]

May I join please? ^.^

Of course you may I shall add you to the list and update your total as you shrink Welcome and good luck x

Like the idea of your vodka ration. It's my favourite tipple too but I try not to indulge it too much cos living alone I think it would be a bit of a slippery slope. HIC, HIC, SLUMP.

I live alone too PP.............well, when Son isn't home from Uni I do I only drink on Saturday, and rarely alone (usually have friends round ) but it's a nice weekly slope HIC! :8855:

|I worry that I lack the willpower to stop if I start. Well we've already seen the evidence of my deficient willpower with this challenge after all.

Vodka? Did someone mention vodka?! arty0036:

I'm a bit of a weekend drinker too. Never bothers me during the week but the thought of a dry weekend horrifies me. So far this year I've drunk every weekend and had a week in Portugal drinking all day and night and only had 1 gain (that was the holiday week). It might not work for everyone and I think you've got to be careful to get the balance right but I think Corky and I prove you don't have to stop living completely to lose weight.

:welcome2: Hello Gollywogg, good luck trying to get a word in edgeways around here!

Going back to Red lunches... am getting bored as well. I tend to stick to salads or soup too. I've been trying to mix it up a bit with different salad veg and dressings. Homemade coleslaw is doing for me at the moment. I'm going to do a yogurt and mint dressing for tomorrow and do something spicy to go with it. Omelette or quiche would make a change I suppose.

Right, must do some work, I'm procrastinating... again!

Pasting what I'm updating eeverywhrre as in a hurry

Quick dive in with a 1.5 loss

Not bad

I need to change the bread roll lunch for ryvitas or just meat with a salad as I haven't had bread for yonks and this week I've had it every day - I'm not sure carbs agree with me that well so lay off bread and tuna salad for me tomorrow and see how that goes this week

Update later

LOL I lack willpower with voddy, so I only buy it at the weekend! lol I couldn't have it in the house to be honest cos I'd just drink it :giggle:

The thought of a dry weekend horrifies me too Sarah, infact I'd go as far as to say I break out in a cold sweat! :8855:

Yeah I mix it up with the salad veggies - I can't remember the last time my salad included cucumber and toms! lol Oh and I had french dressing today and it was gorgeous, and a lovely change Ooooo quiche and coleslaw That's a good idea I made some coleslaw last week actually and it was yumsville, so I'll make another batch.

I'm starving - off to cook

Well done Ems

I'm the same with bread. I love it, but it hates me...........just one of the many carbs that hate me infact! lol I haven't eaten any since January, can't say as I miss it either tbh. Still, it's all trial and error - finding what suits us and what doesn't, cos at the end of the day, we're all different 1.5lb is still a good loss though. so don't be disappointed

Well it hasn't stopped flipping raining all day I've got 2 very wet dogs atm........they stink! :8855:

Well, back from weigh in. 1lbs down. Am VERY pleased considering the couple of weeks I've had.

My friend whom I went to London with had a 1lb gain and is not amused at me. I do eat a LOT more superfree then her though and she is THE fussiest eater I've EVER met. Had never tried a spag bol before, only recently tried pasta, still never tried rice, doesn't eat cheese, I'm slowly introducing her to new foods. Our most recent likes that she had also never tried...mushrooms and red peppers, she will eat broccoli but isn't a massive fan. She is funny with fruit too. Apparently her parents are even worse, don't eat any veg. I love my veg.

Am aiming for 3.5lbs this week to get me under 17st! Can't wait to be 16 something....sounds so much nicer!

Hope everyone is well!

 

[Corkscrew]

Well done Ellen!

What the heck DOES your friend eat?? LOL I can't imagine not eating fruit and veg, I adore it lol

Are you all better now?

She is getting better, it must be hard if you've not been bought up eating a wide variety, she is 27 and has only just moved out of her parents (she's wanted to move for ages but was the youngest child and her parents were a bit dependant on her I think.

My back is still a bit sore but think its just a bit bruised as it seems ok as long as I don't touch it!

 

[SarahCroz]

Well done Emmey and Ellen! :happy096:

It's the crappy weather :'( makes me want to comfort eat too. So far so resisting, if you don't count the digestives I had with a cup of tea that is. I would have had two but had four no worries I can syn them.

Off to a gig tomorrow night but I am sticking to the plan no booze......well ..... um....no, no booze....
