kiki hopefully that will be my steps and not my calories Grin

Also I bought women's health mag on Saturday and today I am going to actually open it and get some inspiration . I have realised it doesn't work just having it in the house like some sort of magic talisman .

You'll get us all Fantasising about 12500 calorie days now!

My do went so well. Did a ton of networking, got a number of new business leads and had a whale of a time. I was a little tipsy by the find though!

I ate loads, I drank loads and I only managed 8000 steps.

But today is a new day eh?

I shall have a "fry up" for breakfast then I might make some soup for lunch to take over to my boyfriend as he's poorly bad

Morning all 12.13 today, 6 lbs to go Grin!

Was relatively good last night only had one babybel and a few gherkins as snacks whilst making dinner.

We are eating at MILs tonight, she is on slimming world and I feel like that is such a carby diet but she is such a doll and texts me to check I can eat what she is cooking. Tonight it's something containing onion, spinach, eggs, quark, cottage cheese, parmesan and butternoot squash... anyone have any idea what that could be?

Seems ok for the BSD but her portions are always immense! I can only ever eat about half and that was before I was dieting!

Checking in for new thread. Still have lots of left over Halloween sweets though. Weight stayed the same in October. I'm also on the "lose a stone by Christmas" thread.

Mind if I butt in. I have ruined November so far. Eating masses of the children's Halloween stash and I have ironically actually been feeling too unwell to exercise even though that is usually how I (not really) get away with eating rubbish.

Day 3 I need a turnaround. I am 74kg (I weighed myself before I ate all that junk so probably more) My November goal is 71.7kg which brings me to bmi 27 so still a good bit to go after. My goals are all set at bmi points which are pretty meaningless but they give something reasonable to target.

Morning all. Non fast day here. Down 1lb after yesterday's FD, so must try to not ruin it.

I'm so glad your do went well BOOP - what did you wear in the end?

It's weighed in and I've ditched last week's gain even though I haven't been as "good", and then some! Made sure I peed right before getting on the scales this time so that's probably it Grin Slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

Celebrating with tapas for lunch. One "bad" dish and two good, balanced diet Wink

MyCents I think every single person on the thread had the same trouble with Hallowe'en! Next year I'm getting little bags of Haribo in so I'm not tempted, I can't stand the stuff so I'll be safe. (In any case, I'd have to wrestle the leftovers from DH's jaws even if I did want it, he's mad for sweets!)

Have managed to forget to put any cash in my wallet and can't get out of the office to get any. Which means it's an impromtu mini-fast day for me...

I had a diet coke with lunch that I wasn't supposed to have but I craved the fizz and the caffeine hit, and with it only having 2 cals for the bottle it could be a lot worse. Sad
