Oh you know disastrous. Family swept through and made my life horribly complicated. Then my partner of 4 years left me, which was devastating. I also was misdiagnosed, and all the meds which made it so hard to keep the weight off actually made the situation worse. Now, I'm being booted out of...

Mrs. Sue, Mrs. Sue, can I say you look RAVISHING !! :D

Sue I'm sure you are going to WOW them like no other.. I'm down today as well -3 lbs. Sucks to be working down from such a high start again, but well, onwards we go.

Hello my Saturday peoples. I'm back from Minimins vacation. I have finished my thesis and it's submitted so I'm freeeeeee.. :D My therapist made me promise to put the weight loss to a side in order to focus on the bigger tasks at hand , but now it's all done - so I'm back full time. There was a...

Down a kilo this week! Much love to the crew and Mrs. Sue!

Hello everyone! I have missed you all (especially you Sue ;) ) sorry I have been away, I'm in the last throws of my final year dissertation so I have been gone away on research. In a few weeks all will be done. Super looking forward to getting back and solidly plugging away. -1lbs this week.

Hello All. Sorry I was away - I have been working crazy hard. Also have managed to pack my 4 lbs back on.. so I'll be chipping away at that. Still am managing to keep busy, been swimming, running and walking 10,000 steps a day. Just need to bring the munchies in line. Wishing you all the best...

coucou everyone. Well I have manage to drop about half the excess (4lbs-ish) from my weeks of debauchery. :) Which is a positive, I suppose. Still have a way to go before getting back on track. *le sigh*

I'm going for another 3 day perfection challenge! :D Weigh my food, & make sure I get one swim in before Thursday.

Good morning everyone.. See Sue I know it would peal off eventually! So so pleased for you dear. :D Right, well I'm a gain of about 2 lbs. Debauchery week, fantastically tough week.. wanted to pack it all in and say I don't care week. I have just been so low the past few weeks concerning...

Sue - with the rate you have lost, I'm sure it's just your body recalibrating! The scales will show it soon. :D

Good morning- Well I'm at a loss of a half a pound this week. Actually I think it' more but I was being a bit thick and forgot to record last weeks measurement down. Annnyway. Feeling better now that I'm back on track, and I have set myself a new goal! I'm gonna share it to keep me accountable...

Well, 3 days of good me , and I'm rewarded with a half pound loss. Not phenominal but a loss none the less! ;)

Well I have been a good girl these past 3 days but I'm worried! I started the 3 day after a binge of a weekend-- hope I don't pay for it tomorrow! Luck luck luck to all of you. :D

Well my first two days have been good I think. I have high hopes for Sat. :D Good luck to you two!

Erm. I'm rebooting the challenge! :D cause I think it will be grand to see what happens in 3 days. I'll stick to plan and check in here- looking forward to it

OK.. I was a bad girl this week. I kept to my exercise but I might have eat a whole cake.. with homemade butter frosting. In my defense I had two of the most substantial interviews of my life this week but I ate a cake. So I'm with a half pound gain.. on to next week!!

Oh so sorry about your toe Sue! I hope your kitties give you some extra cuddles.. congrats on the loss this weekend!

Happy Saturday to all of you! I'm here with a half of a pound loss... not much but I wasn't really careful this week. I have however gotten back to swimming and I am feeling really good about it. :D Keeping my fingers crossed for success in the pool because it's just tooooo cold here in Scotland...

Afternoon everyone! Well I lost another lbs this week, which leaves me only 3 more to go to get back to my pre Christmas fiasco. I have in the interest of being serious allowed the pool to directly debit my bank account :) so I believe that should motivate. Another big milestone for Mrs...

Hello All! I'm back home now, ready to hit the ground running so to speak. I have lost 3 lbs of my Christmas indulgence. :D And looking forward to getting the rest off. So happy to hear about your success as usual Sue! Good luck to everyone this week.

I'm in late this week, but wanted to pop in to make sure you are all still around. :D Gain almost 6 lbs over exams and Christmas, BUT I'm currently vacationing in Switzerland and I am walking everyday and eating well. Looking forward to jumping back on the scales next week when I return. Way...

In the same boat - STS - but I'm ok with that since I have become the food monster. Gone through multiple bags of crisps and candy and a batch of cookies.. exams are over in 3 days and then its back to nomral for me - because I'm rather hating all the excess :/ Good to hear your are well Sue...

Hello All, Well as predicted, I have gained, not terribly but about 2lbs. I have been dancing with this 2lbs on and off for the last month and a half. It's really quite discouraging. But there it is. Sue - Thanks so much for the support, I know I need to give myself a break but it feels like...

Oh Sue!!! So so so lovely to hear of you meeting your goal! What an accomplishment! :) Congrats congrats dear. I hope Mr. Sue is doing well also.. I erm.. I had a crazy crazy week - the most stressful ever this semester. I might have eaten an entire baguette and a glut of pasta on Friday night...

Oh I have been a bad girl this week. Super super super stressed-- don't think I'm gonna have a good WI - didn't even run once.. ;(

BBLLERGGG.. TOTM TOTM is stealing my loss from me this week!! grrrr. Right so I'm STS but next week - next week it's gonna happen!!! I'm going to get under 69.4 kilos!

Awesome as per ususal Mrs. Kitty Sue!! Well well done, you are so inspiring! After a *indulgent* flat party last night, I'm only losing -.2 of a lbs ;) I suspect it might be more but there is still too much mulled wine sloshing about. Anyway, as of next week I'm restarting a old phase in my...

Good Saturday my friends!! I'm down .4kilos which is almost a whole pound. You think I could have gotten lower with the flu I have been dealing with all week - but there you have it. 69.5 kilos! Almost where I was before I started Uni again. Wishing you all happy days today.

If one of the creme silk blouses are still around or the Black and White large dogtooth skirt I would certainly through my name in. Cheers!

Glad to have you back Dominoid!! :D

Learning not to be discouraged when I gained 4 lbs after going back to Uni. Starting again, going back down, and relearning how to eat right under the pressure of school.

-2lbs this week for me ! However it's my first 2 lbs in 2 months so I think I can remain on the team. :D

I felt those positive vibes today Mrs Sue! You are doing so fabulously ! Every week Sue, every week!! put me to shame :D Congrats to Mr. Sue too. I'm logging today at 69.9 kilos - which means around a 2lbs loss for me since last week! Happiness happiness! Learning how to do this all over...

I'm wishing you and your mother peace.

Well well well done Sue! I'm down .3 kilos or about .5 of a pound. Onwards and downwards.

We are all thinking of you!! Keep being strong for you and your mother. You are doing the right thing by her by keeping the visitors and the "squatters" restricted. x

Congrats twinklebee & mrs. kitty Sue. :D !!!!! Hello to my Saturday lovelies! I'm late this week, and coming in at 70.8 kilos, so that's a gain for me of about 2.5 pounds in the last 3 weeks. It's a bit of a bummer but I for some reason don't feel super down about it.. I mean, it's really a...

First day : Went well with breakfast, which I never enjoy eating. I managed to pack enough snacks not to devour crisps or the like around lunch time when the class was over. In fact, running on breakfast alone, I had a impromptu meeting and shop and dog walk without snacking... I'm feeling...

I have played around with this theory went "cold turkey" felt no bad symptoms - no withdrawls. Even when I was months off it. I also lost no further weight. I have drank diet cola when I was at ideal weight and off it. I would say peoples reaction to diet drinks vary, and furthermore there was...

I think, you really might be superwoman... what courage and strength you have is always striking whenever I come back to your diary. You are amazing.

In the beginning there was my June resolution, which was at the time so clear and precise it rendered immediate results on the scales. For the first time in years, weeks went by were food was accounted for and exercise was regularly preformed (not even begrudgingly!). A new life was...

Thanks you all. I'm still in a struggle mode... it's school, I know it's school. It's so stressful, my time isn't my own and I haven't yet learned how to be organized about it to increase my chances of success. I think it's the absent minded snacking, and thinking "oh I'll work it off tomorrow...

Weigh in today yielded a massively unexpected 2 lbs gain - I know it's TOTM but how depressing .. : / I hate the slowness

EXCELLENT Sue! :D Well, it's my TOTM - and I have gained a whopping 2 lbs, which had better be water weight or I'll be furious. Keep my fingers crossed for next week.

-.5 lb for me this weekend. Not a pound, but something! Crawling along my friends. :D

Hello guys, well, my first week "back on plan" but with no exercise lands me at losing .5 of a pound.. better than nothing!

STS for a month! Granted I deserve it - but no way get me rolling again.. Major fingers crossed for this Sat. I would love to kick at least a 1lb. :)

BAhhh. Still on the tortoise team, feeling comforted by the fact others have had a wee struggle recently too. I haven't lost a lb in a month and manage to put two on all from starting a new term at Uni. It's such a pain to know I can do it, but mix in the stress of work and school and my self...

Hey sorry to be late! I had a weird internet thing again this weekend. I'm in again at STS - gotta relearn how to get losing during term time.. : /

I'm writing because I feel scared. In the last 100 or so days I have lost about 16 pounds, which isn't incredible but really has made a difference in my life. I can see it. However, in the last month I have had a job change, gone away to work abroad and restarted a challenging school year. In...

Bah, well I have STS for almost a month! .... so slloooooow. Glad I'm not getting kicked out of the club any time soon.

Hello Sue!! Well I'm coming in with my first gain in 100 days. :/ Put a pound on this last week which obviously means, I wasn't as savvy at re-entry into "normal" diet life after last week. Anywho, I'll be looking for a good restart on Sunday - hope you all can send me positive vibes for a...

Hello Peoples!! I'm sorry I have missed a week, I was away on a field course, and didn't have access to internet.. I'm STS but once again, for me, and the amount of work I was doing - my 3,000 calories day didn't put on a single pound! :D I was working it off and I'm happy I was able to see the...

-.1 lbs this week.. woop!

WOW!!!! Such a positive week. Being in the 100s, is an AWESOME achievement Sue. I'm only down a -.1.. I actually think it's more but I was a bit tipsy last night an consumed a small feast at 3 am. :P Still I'm a happy girl to be resting in the 69s for the moment!!

I LOST A POUND this week!!! A whole pund! Yay!! I'm my BMI is also officially just overweight! :D

It looks like long term I'm a massively slow loser too, so we are in the same boat.. :D

Hiya! Well weeks of STS and I'm reporting a break of -.9lbs today, so almost a pound. *eyeroll* damn lot of work for the almost pound but there it is!!

Wow!! What a great Saturday!! I am coming in with a wee loss this week of .4kilos so almost 1 lbs. The scales kept flickering all over the place so this was my average. Which makes me just shy of 69kilos. Hoping for next week!!! Again many congrats for you all.

Hey, any good psychologist will tell you that in order to "be there" for your love ones you have to take care of yourself first. A lack of sleep helps no one and only feeds irritability and bad judgement calls.. I'm sure if you were more rested you might have appeased your daughter when you...

Hello Saturday crew!! Well it's my TOTM too, and since my friend from Paris decided we should power through a bottle of wine and snacks just before weigh in, I am STS... but it was worth it. =)! I also lost 2 inches these past 2 weeks. So HUZZAH! My real goal is to get out of the 70's and into...

Pommette that's brilliant!! For me it's really the exercise which is getting me confused as I never know really how much I'm burning and so I stick to eating the same amount everyday. At the moment I'm eating around 1350-1400 calories a day, but I'm running for 30 min, or swimming for 45min -1h...

Did you here when your weightloss would continue back down? I feel like I'm doing my exercise but I don't know if I can handle staying the same this week. My BMI is right on the cusp, I just want the darn thing DOWN!! It's been almost a month of this :(

I did enjoy these last posts. I have been in the same boat. Really trying to up my excercsie and have seen my loses crawl, if happen at all. I took measurements 2 weeks ago but haven't been ready to retake them for fear of not seeing any inprovement! Holiday girl, I know one of my pitfalls was...

Being an expat, I have to do this regularly. I always find the cheapest flights between cheaptickets or kayak .

Thanks for the welcome. Lol WoodlandMiss, I WISH it was 1 lbs!! ;) It's been more like .1... considerably smaller. You would think my week 6 status on C25K would be helping but noooo my body is refusing to let go.. :o

Inches are way better than lbs. If you looked amazing and you weighed X amount of pounds would you care? of course not. :) Everyone seemed to have made positive progressions this week, including Mr. Sue That's all good in my book. :D

I'm hopping on broad with the tortoise club if that's ok. It's certainly disheartening when you lose .1 lbs in a week where you worked hard.. as I have done for the past few weeks. : /

First, welcome to all of our new Saturday weighers. We have a excellent group here. :D Wow!!! What a stellar week everyone is having! It's always so great to see all of your successes! I'm coming it at 1lbs this week, lol, not nearly as impressive as your collective losses this week but at...

Thanks for getting back to me.. It is so difficult not to climb on the scales on Saturday and not feel rewarded for the effort being put in. I did eat more this week, carbs and sweeties. I think I was a bit pissed at being told I wasn't eating enough and my body wasn't letting the weight go. ;)...

Quick question, I'm on week 5 now of C25k, it's been going well! I certainly haven't been feeling tired, sometimes a bit bored but not tired. I have noticed my weightloss has stayed the same frequently in the past few weeks as my jogging is increasing . I have also noticed that after my mid...

Hey my veggies. I have a question. I have noticed my weightloss has stayed the same frequently in the past month. I have also noticed that after my mid week sneak peak weighin I have normally lost a pound or more from my weigh in day, but then gain it back by the weekend. I think I get really...

Brilliant!!!!!!! I bet it feels good. I'm right on the cusp of that so I'm sharing in the joy of anticipation!!

I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone had an answer. I have been having relatively consistent weightless but recently in the last 3 weeks I have stayed around the same. I'm still in the BMI obese range so I know I still have far to go. Both weeks I did a sneak peak weigh in midweek...

Good morning! Congrats Mrs. Sue!! Getting to that 10% is going to be brilliant!! I on the otherhand have lost a meager .2lbs this week. Feeling a bit low about it, because there was no cheating and my cheeky midweek cheek had be losing more.. I think I need to stop peaking on Wednesdays. Pooof...

I think exercise has helped my weightloss. I lost more in one month than I did all of last summer - so I think it's making a difference. However, I still don't like it. I love my yoga, and my once a week swimming, but I still don't like cardio. Running is just not fun to me, but it works, and...

I'm proud of doing 17 laps in the pool, and then walking the dog straight after even though my body was like jello. I'm most proud of the fact that despite coming home ravenous I weighed out all my food.

I'm on the implant, and I have to say it was the best decision I ever made! 3 years protection, no periods at all, no side effects, no cramping, no weight gain. It's been a dream. :D

I feel this pain. Family is just difficult. Period. Be strong, we are here.

I have read all the books. Many many times over. I grew up with them really. I think I was 13 when I read my first HP, and I read my last at 21. So this movie had emotions well attached. I think I would have preferred 2D just because they still haven't got all the 3D kinks worked out.. This last...

Congrats to all this week!!!!! :D Well done Sat. crew. Everyone seems to be in a healthy mindset which is encouraging. Brava brava!!!!!

LOl, I think a few of us jumped the gun... but I don't think it really matters. With how time works, it will be August tomorrow ;)

Ladies and gentleman. I weighed in early this week, because tonight I'm going to see Harry Potter and I know that I will be eating uncountable amounts of candy. Tis is only befitting. However, when I jumped on the scales I STS!!! AHHH. And I thought, no way, totally impossible because that's 2...

:D it's been ok actually. I'll be finishing my last week 4 run on Sunday , giving myself a longer break because I was really feeling it on the last few minutes. I'm impressed how simple it's been getting to this point - still can't say I love running but I certainly don't loath my time with...

I'm on week 4 of C25k, I'm really glad there is something after week 9. :D Looking forward to catching up with you guys.

I would love to join in. It would be a pleasure to reach target by December! JoeyJoJo - (53lbs to lose - 51 to go!) shanny - ( 19 lbs to lose- 19 to go to maintain) Last_Attempt - (Need to lose 33lb to reach goal) Antiefever - (20lbs to lose - 20 lbs to go) Forthelasttime - (35lbs to lose -...

Miss soul food so much.. .it's the damn cornbread I kill myself on

Bah Brava! Félicitations!!! :D t'es tellement belle !

I'm in the same boat. It's only been a month, but I'm now an obsessive user. :D I'm grateful to everyone, all the stories, encouraging notes, honest diaries, and supportive words when you mess up. Minimins is awesome!

Thanks so much for asking! Today has been good. I took the advice to heart, and was 100% for the past few days. I also started week 4 on C25k, and ran for 16 min today. I'm really stoked about it. Just keeping my fingers crossed I'll be rewarded on Saturday. :D

Well, I played tight end in school. Been an Eagles fan until they signed Vick.. now I just make sure I catch the Superbowl on Sky. I enjoy the game, but I have been converted to rugby :D

Just click on someones it will take you to a webpage where you can get one.

Brilliant thread!! I will be lurking for some 14s/12s. :D

A Veggie for life?? Wow that's wonderful!

I think for veggies is always portion control..sigh... i do love my bread and cheese

It's a complicated issue. In my opinion I believe the NHS isn't try to skrew people out of healthcare. In fact most of the NHS professionals I know do the very best they can with what they have. In the economic situation that the world has found itself in, it never ceases to amaze me how much...

Thanks girly... it's just so annoying! I feel like I'm just constantly going over and over what I'm eating - all the time. Oi.

...:sigh: I had one of those days, which started out bad.. I didn't eat breakfast and went straight to lunch. Lunch was fine, moderate.. I go on a run later. I come home, it's almost 9 hours since I ate and I'm not in the mood for cooking, so I start snacking on the cookies I made for friends...

Sat Crew is the place to be :D

Hey SugarPlum! Welcome and congrats on a fantastic loss!!

Aww. Thank you two. You both are loverly. I have literally been sulking around my house, feeling right sorry for myself because I ran in the the rain this week! tee heheh. Huzzah for Mrs. and Mr. Sue!! Brilliant job on your loss and getting that pesky 1.5 stone off for good. I love that you...

Well I woke up this morning with a shock.. because I lost .2lbs... which is weird because I did run, swim, and was 100% this week, and my cheeky mid week WI was promising but TOTM has rolled around and I think I'm obviously retaining a small ocean... grrrrrr. Soo disappointing. I'm sure next...

Lol. Ok the story was funny, but I loved loved "hoping"'s little picture "I don't skinny dip, I chunky dunk" that had me LOL!

Alan Rickman... it's all in the voice isn't it? Don't you just want to saunter up to him and say, "excuse me, professor"

Sorry about your leg ... I hope you are alright. I just wanted to say I have been reading over your blog and really appreciate your writing style and attention to the little things. Your attitude on life is just awesome, I would like to emulate it! Thanks for sharing.

Oh I so so do this. I find it helps me to get motivated.

On my C25K jog today, running along - took a deep breath and in zoomed, NOT one BUT TWO wee gnats... :eek: erm, I kinda felt like a weird vegetarian in that moment.:rolleyes: Ah well, hoping for a buggless run on Wends.

The plank position is good for the core muscles - no situps required.

Revolution BBQs... I like it.

Nope no judgement here. :D I love how everyone has their own story and everyone respects that. There is tons of help all one must do is ask. :D

This is really simple - but so so yummy. This is the warmer version of the classic summer salad. Stuff vine tomatoes with mozzarella (or vegan equivalent), bake on high for 30 min or until browned. Dash some olive oil & torn fresh basil. Sprinkle with sea salt.. and enjoy with crusty bread.

Brisket.. texas Brisket was the most amazing thing.

Welcome Chele, there are lots of mums and loads of people on SW so you will get lots of help here. Good luck!

Another 5ft girl checkin in, and I KNOW how hard it is to be a food lover and short! Don't worry, people are really supportive and informative here. :D

Well, I think everything is ok in moderation as long as you include real water. :D Trust me diet coke has saved me from drinking MANY calorific beers.

LittleSis, we are the same size and have the same goals! =) Maybe we can watch each other over these next 6 months. :)

Had one today, I was soooo proud of myself! I didn't have ANY crisps, or junk, ate my veggies I brought and had 1 cookie and a diet coke. The most restraint I have had at a group BBQ I think in my life!

Hey congrats!!!!! big achievement. :D

Hey, everyone has a day.. I'm allowed a "free" Sat. within limits on my diet... but for some reason today, I HAD to have a fairy cake, 3 large cookies, pasta and 2 glasses of wine... I feel like I'm going to pop... :( we ALL have those days, we just have to go to bed and start again tomorrow...

Welcome welcome!! There is loads of support here at Mins. Good luck on your journey. :D

Brava Mrs Sue!

It's still a happy Saturday!! :D I'm down -1.1 kilos (2.4lbs) , that's 10 lbs total! WHICH ALSO MEANS.. I'm in the 150s!!:bliss: 159.4 lbs to be precise. It's not massive for a month but I am very pleased, don't feel like I have starved myself and I'm enjoying my new exercise regime. Good luck...

Baked vine tomatoes stuffed with mozzerella, drizzled with olive oil and fresh torn basil - finely sprinkled with sea salt. YUM

I am feeling so jittery about tomorrow!! I really want to keep my losing trend but I had such a up and down week, as in I attacked a chow mien on Tuesday, had a basket of onion rings yesterday, and last Saturday (which is my "off" diet day) I might have eaten 4 fairy cakes - in my defense, I...

Lol. I'm a diet coke addict. I put away around 4 cans a day, and sometimes on odd day up to 6. Never had a problem with bloating, never had a problem with my teeth, and because it's one of the only things I like about myself - my skin is flawless. So perhaps coke is different for everyone ? I...

Welcome welcome - It's a great group of people on here. You'll have loads of support. Congrats on starting your journey again. :D

I also wanted to say I really appreciated your post. I'm not too far off your height, and I would say we have almost the same amount to lose if we proportion it. People always say my weight isn't so much, but on such a small body - it's obese by any standard. I have also been overweight since a...

That's brilliant! Well done you

4 lbs is positively brilliant!! The Saturday crew is rockin!

Good morning everyone! I'm reporting - 1.8 kilos or 3.9 lbs lost this week. :D!! Super super super happy. I really feel like I'm on my way Congrats to losingit for maintaining! And to all our Saturday weighers - good luck.

Congrats on a successful week!!

Hello all- I started running a few weeks ago - doing the C25k plan without the podcast. And I have noticed in the past day that I have shin splints. I have been surprised at how much I'm enjoying my 4x a week run and I don't really want to stop - the pain isn't severe just annoying. Do I need...

I make myself weigh my cheese, keeps me from eating the whole wedge when I know there is a zillion calories in 50 gr. :D I dont know what I would do without cheese..

I completely understand this emotion.. the longing to just eat and not think about the consequences. To enjoy to the point of complete fullness. I miss that too.

I missed a extra 0. :D which is 2500 ml.. as I understand it, it includes some of the water you get by food too.

I'm posting a loss of 1.3 kilos this week, or about 2.8 lbs. :D Happy times.

Hiya, I have a few suggestions - though I am no expert! :D I would absolutely disagree with 1,200 calories per day, I know you have changed this - but is incredibly obvious your body thought it was starving and therefore retained your weight as a defense. I think your decision to stay between...

I have to admit, my Sat. folks - I am SO excited about tomorrows official weigh in. I was very good this week and I might have had a sneaky glace on Wends.. so I'm hoping for good results this Saturday! Best wishes to you all come tomorrow!

I don't know, I mean, I would imagine, not to think about them at all gives them power over us - as we underestimate their influence over our bodies. By acknowledging the true calorific weight of some of these foods we can therefore change our approach to them in ways which will benefit our...

The struggle is certainly all in the mind.. I know for me I keep saying I just want to be healthy. I need to be healthier for myself so I can go and do all the great things I have planned for myself. but your body factors in. I was just thinking about your stats and I wondered why you want to...

Well, I'm still waiting to hear about the thyroid... And don't worry, the exercise wasn't inspired by the binge. I just wanted to see how much of a difference it made. Saturday will tell all. I think for me, it's just frustrating to feel like I do all the things I get told to do, and I don't see...

Hmmm. Well I have been exercising this week, just to see. Had 2 jog/walks for 25 min.. and then yesterday I had a massive binge day:(.. but I rode my bike this afternoon for at least a good hour so hopefully that is my start to balancing out yesterday.. I'll keep the jog/walk this week and...

Congrats on that stone!!

Hello All. A query for the gym ratties and joggers etc. I have not been a massive fan of running or breathing rapidly without a purpose, so I'm posing you all a question which is plaguing me. Backround: My diet I feel is now in correct portions, I'm weighing everything I'm consuming (ie no...

I have been in your shoes! I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you. Just remember you will not be this way forever and that that person is a f'n jerk, and has no sense of struggle that you have. You have loads of support here.

This one is so easy it hurts, taken from BBC Good Food. Spiced Carrot Soup...

Thanks for the recipe! I will try it out. : D

This is one of my absolute favs. 1 aubergine (med sized is less than 100 cals so you can go for the whole thing ;)) Tomatoes Raw Garlic Cucumber Red Onion 1 lemon Feta cheese Olive Oil Herbes de Provence Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper Cut the aubergine in half, and then in half inch...

Kikou my fellow Saturday friends. :D I shall be joining in the end of the week fun, if that's ok. Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow as the week has been full of very great days and the...other days... : / Good vibes to you all for tomorrow.

thanks so much for the welcome. :D This week was a bit up and down, so hoping for the best at tomorrow's weigh in.

Greetings to everyone, Glad to be new to what seems to be such a vibrant community. I'm here because I have rapidly expanded with my last round of medication and pressing university work. As of last week I have already lost 1 kilo and I'm hoping to lose around 18 kilos total, or a little less...
