is smiling :D
Might as well start a diary, keep track of my food/cals, motivate myself a bit seeing it in black and white lol.
I need to exercise too (note to self)
Got a good deal on my shakes and snacks today in Superdrug, they're all on 3 for 2, bought 6 drinks, 6 snacks and saved £4 and I paid with my beautycard and got another £4 off.
Bought some WW ready meals in Iceland (3 for £3) as they're calorie counted, makes my main meal easier, I'll just add some veggies to it, and maybe a piece of fruit afterwards to bump the cals upto 600. It all depends on which meal I have and which veggies.
You may have noticed I like to save my pennies LOL always looking for the best deal
The one thing I wont buy are the powder shake mixes, ugh gross. I love the ready to drink shakes tho especially cafe latte.
Before I was dieting I used to buy it just for the drink, so yummy.
My slimfast snack of choice are the pretzels, tho they are really expensive considering all the 100 cal snacks I could have, like certain crisps, fruit, yogurts etc.
Enough of the food, what about me?
I'm 49, be 50 in september (boo) have 3 grandsons, one of whom is only 3 weeks old bless him. I have 3 children, my eldest daughter in Canada with 2 kids & another on the way, and one daughter of 19 who lives me, and a married son who has just had the new baby and lives fairly close by.
I've been ill for 2 years with Bipolar disorder, I was diagnosed in October 2010, recovery has been slow, I had a really bad 'crash'. So I have to take meds which dont help the weight much. And then my thyroid went, and I have to take thyroxine too...but I am on the mend now, so hence the need to drop this load of weight!
I have noticed this forum seems a bit slow, but I'm hoping if I'm active here everyday then maybe more folks will come out of the woodwork and I get to meet you all
