Hi Sophie!
You sound very determined so I hope we both succeed in following the plan together.
Do you go to a class or just do it from home?
Let me know if you start a food diary, I'd love to see it. Good luck!xx

Thank you. I just kinda made it up with what I had in. So I chucked some chopped spring onion, pepper and ham in a Yorkshire pud tin. I then poured in a mixture of 2 eggs and a spoonful of cottage cheese and baked until cooked.
My favourite ones are using ham to line the tin before pouring the filling in, but you really need the cheapy thin square slices of ham for that which I didn't have.

Well weigh in this morning - and I stayed the same.
To be honest I'm very pleased with that, I only had 1 100% day which was yesterday. I was really worried it would be a gain. Trouble is I'm pretty good at sticking to it during the week unless I have a change in routine, which I did this week.
My aim for next week would be to lose 2lb which would bring me to a half stone loss overall. We're going on holiday in just over 2 weeks and I won't be sticking to it then (although I'll try and rein it back a bit!) so everything now is damage limitation for then!
I've done my meal plan for the week, and the Tesco delivery is coming later this morning as I'm working from home today (that's going to be fun with these crazy kittens!).
My target is to have 4 really good days (Mon-Thurs), and for my meals to be good over the weekend but with a few cheeky glasses of wine and maybe some choc thrown in.

Discovered this morning that the hardest place by far to go into when you're trying to be good is Gregg's. There's temptation everywhere, I could have eaten the shop! I resisted though and picked up the bread, gingerbread man and sausage roll for hubby and daughter. But those pasties and cakes sure did look good!
Here's a pic of today's lunch: scrambled eggs on toast with salad

Well done on resisting! just a heads up, the sausage rolls are about 17 syns each and the cheese & onion pasty's are 19.5 each... quite high but ok if you fancy a treat

I knew everything would be high but it looked and smelt so good! I'm quite pleased with myself as I could easily have said 'sod it, it's Saturday' but I didn't! Trouble is I would have wanted a pasty and a cake ;-)

Morning everyone!
I've made the most of the morning and by 9.30 I've prepared today's picnic, made hubby's tuna pasta lunch for next 2 days, made a huge batch of cauliflower dhansak for my lunches and the freezer, and prepared a beef brisket and veg in the slow cooker for tonight's tea. Phew!
We're off to a local fruit picking farm today, hopefully to pick up courgette, beets and a Halloween pumpkin, and maybe pick some runner beans, and let Bella have a good play while we enjoy our picnic x

I'm subscribing to this Sarah! Sounds like we're very similar with our slimming habits - I like the diet to fit in with my lifestyle too, not the other way around! But some of your menus look yummy so I'm hoping to get inspiration from you!
