A third of the way there TFMD ... nice one

 

[tfmd]

John

Thanks for that..Only when you mentioned it I actually thought about it..I have lost a third of my overall goal....I like looking at it that way....

You are doing really well too..well done you are over half way! I've had a quick look online at your diet..My friend did something similar and she found it to be really good...I really enjoy Slimming World, there is so much choice there especially with a family it means they can eat the same foods....
Keep up the good work

It as weigh in day and I thought i'd put on 3lb...Thankfully I only put on 1/2lb...I am pleased with that..

I've got my supply of scan bran for the week....I am going to have 5 a day and see if that makes a difference....During the week I have no problems with my stomach, come the weekend when I don't have the scan bran I feel myself get bloated and can't go to the loo as easily.

We'll see if this makes a difference on weigh in next Monday
