Thanks for yor support folks and well done on your loss diminishing returns. I just get sooooo annoyed though and I can see that the last 15 lbs I have got to lose are going to take me a lt longer than I thought. I have already been dieting for 10 and a half months now and it does drain you especially after such a long time and instead of being done after 12 months which I what I hoped for it looks like it is going to take me 14 or 15 months - which is a long time to be continuously dieting (oh and thats assuming I'm happy when I actually get to my goal!) Sigh - chin up and look towards next week now and lets hope I can make it to 11 stone by my holiday!

How many calories roughly in a fajita wrap containing the following ingredients?:
2 x Quorn chicken fillets (95 cals)
1/2 x pack of fajita seasoning
1 x large red pepper
1 x Old El Paso flour tortilla
1 x tablespoon Green 0% yoghurt
1 x teaspoon salsa
Sprinkling of low fat cheddar cheese
Sorry, I appreciate an answer will be a guestimate, but I'm rubbish at working out anything like this!

Everyone, the dress came today and it looks ace!! I will put pics up when im all glammed up for my friends wedding in it the 1st week of August but here it is for now.
Fits really well and shows off my improving figure. I have never dared have my legs out before but i think this will be ok, just need to find some shoes. Im not one for heels really but im thinking i may have to put up with some to really finish this gorgeous dress off, what do we think?

wants to get super fit!
Sometimes it's just got to be done though and if you go for nothing over 3" you should be ok! Weighed in today too and have lost 2lbs. Was hoping for 3 to get me into the 9's though!!

I plugged this into www.essentialsweightloss.co.uk and got the following totals if it helps any:
Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning Mix 35g - half a pack: 52 kcals, 1.0g fat
1 x large red pepper: 51kcals, 0.6g fat
1 x Old El Paso flour tortilla: 140kcals, 2.8g fat
1 x tablespoon Green 0% yoghurt: (50g) - 26 kcals, 0.0g fat
1 x teaspoon salsa: (10g) - 3.2kcals, 0.1g fat
Sprinkling of low fat cheddar cheese: (20g) - 33kcals, 0.4g fat
Was the quorn 95 for each fillet or for the two? If 95 each it works out as roughly 490 cals. Not bad at all!

Well done Nic!
Vicky - love the dress. You could try it with wedges maybe - bit more comfy than stilettos. Personally, I think some cute sandals or even ballet pumps could go with it to - if it's your mate's wedding, you want to be able to dance all night at the reception (think of the calories you'll burn off...)
Iris - you're a gem! You always have good advice and kind words for everyone.
Well, having benn cursing all week that I hadn't lost anything despite being very very good, things changed over the weekend and I seem to have lost 7lbs in the course of 48 hours or so, so I've reached my target for this challenge.
Thinking about how I feel, I wonder sometimes if I suffer from water retention for some reason, and maybe during the course of the month this fluctuates. Anyway, weighed myself several times this morning and took an average figure. I know the reading on my digital scales can be a little temperamental at times, but this morning, I've got to believe it. Can't believe I'm in the 17s. I know that doesn't sound all that great, but I went shopping at the weekend and I'm definitely a size 20, which I haven't been since i was 18. Got to keep going now! Although I am blooming starving today, must resist nibbles!
I'm changing my challenge for this month to reaching 17.10 which could be do-able if I stick at it.
