Nearly 2 months after registering here I've only just come back on the forums 
But how informative a return it has been! I've now downloaded the iphone app so I can access here almost any time of the day/night from my phone and hopefully that will help me keep me more accountable! Plus I've spent today going through various threads gleaning information about meal ideas etc.
The reason I'm back is that I went to see my doctor on Tuesday and he's told me I need to get my weight down a lot..as in 3 stone before he can start dealing with something. So I started in earnest on Wednesday (spent tuesday going through all my SW stuff) and according to my scales I've lost 5lb already this week Its star week, and the past 2-3 weeks I've had a lot of take-aways or picky meals (the kind where you grab a sandwich as you can't be bothered to cook a meal, then an hour later you're grabbing another one as your hungry again, and so on, not to mention the easter chocolate!) so I think this might be a bit of a case of a false start but it certainly has me motivated
So my plan of attack for this week is to NOT have a take-away at all, and stick to 10-15 syns each day. I have a lot of work to do at the back end of this week (I'm self-employed and my work comes in fits and bursts on a 3 week cycle) and I have a lot of running around to do within the time limit of school hours as I want to max out my savings on my grocery budget this week by hitting Asda, Aldi, Home Bargains, Co-op, (the previous 4 are all walkable distances so far taking into account carrying groceries back), Tesco (possibly walk this one), Morrisons, Sainsburys, B&M, maybe Lidl if I can squeeze it on the day I have a bus pass as they're quite a hike from where I live when you have bags of shopping to lug and a good 10-20 minutes on the bus anyway! This is going to take some planning, which is what I'm hoping to do when I get up in the morning. I'll be up really early as my daughter (referred to from now on as L) is going with her dad to see the grand finale of Sea Odyssey in town tomorrow and I had better get my backside to bed as I've just noticed the time! Night all!
