Ah, me again!

Well, I went a bit quiet over the holidays...because I didn't want you guys to make me feel guilty for indulging.

It probably would have done me the world of good if you HAD done, but hey-ho!

I've got 2 more birthday celebration meals to go and a crappy weekend coming up - but I'm planning on seeing the nursey lady on tuesday, and then will be going weekly on Wednesday PMs (after an hours swimming session beforehand!).

Like I said before, I ideally need to lose at least 4 stones to be super happy, and who knows - if I remain 100% focused it will come off of, but IDEALLY, I'd like to shift 2stones4lbs this year. Wish me luck eh

Hiya Hun, nice to see you back!

Good luck and dont forget to let us know how you are doing.Lucyxx

Do we think 31lbs loss in 23 weeks is realistic?

I don't see why not hun xx

Argh, how annoying. I just wrote out a whole reply and it crashed on me.

I was just saying how happy I am tonight - I finally cooked something basic but I did it from scratch. I made a tomato based tuna pasta dish containing 1 tin of tuna, 1 red pepper, tomato puree, chopped tomato, 1 tin of sweetcorn and 1/2 a courgette (added herbs, garlic, S&P to taste really, the more herbs, garlic and BP the better for me really!)

I used wholewheat pasta and had a large plate filled (put the rest of the sauce in a container for tomorrow's lunch!) but I haven't been able to finish dinner, so that'll go over for tomorrows lunch now

Oh, I did have a small amount of low fat hard grated cheese. Haven't quite weaned myself off that yet!
