October Challenge

Didn't update last week as I was poorly and didn't go to weigh-in. Tonight I managed a 1.5lbs loss, which I am very happy with considering I haven't eaten properly for a week. Not sure I am going to get to my target by the end of the month now though.

There's no way I'm meeting my target this month either sadly but I think, with my birthday coming up next month - I'll just roll it over to November! :)

I forgot to update the last few weeks. I put on 4lbs (!!) Then lost 3.5lbs again this Thursday just gone so that's 6.5lbs still to lose this Thursday....don't think I'll make it as I've just got back from seeing lady gaga in London and was treated to a chocolate afternoon lunch at the Hilton park lane......brilliant but not sure my scales agree lol :(

Lost 4.5 this week - I knew I was being a bit ambitious wanting to lose 8lbs with my birthday being this month - but I'm actually really happy with 4.5 for the month...
 
Gained last week, and lost 2lb tonight (somehow - I don't know how!) No where near my target...but I've had a lot to deal with this month!

I moved back to London yesterday and am currently unemployed, at least I am settled in one place now so can get a routine and structure in place with a regular group rather than a new face every week. Less stress for November please! All I need to do is find a job, and life will be complete :)

Congrats to everyone, we've all lost something, and there is always next month!

Thanks - you're doing fab & loving the look of your food. You keep tempting me to retry scan bran cake - made it once and thought :sign0137:

thanks too, :)
Made another one just now too, think i may have 'perfected' it LOL
I eat at least a couple of slices most days....and it seems like i am having 'real' cake lol....well prob a psychological thing :D
 
I like the idea of a slice with coffee and feel like normal cake but mine was horrid! I'll have to get your recipe :)

5 scan bran
boiling water
1 tbs treacle (golden syrup)
28g cocoa
10g canderel sweetener
3 eggs

i have a nutribullet and it grinds the scan bran to a powder (that could help? :) )
then i add enough boiling water to moisten not drown it (no need to drain excess)
then add cocoa, sweetener, treacle, mix well, then add beaten eggs , mix well again

then line the bottom of a microwavable dish with greaseproof paper
pour in mix and microwave on high for 5 mins
tip out,remove GP paper, and cut into 8 slices

works out 1.5 syns a slice :)
