Anyone in?

Im doing dry jan which will help, better meal planning, and upping the water intake. No official "plan" in mind yet but will look to choosing one soon.

Im weighing in Jan1st, currently just shy of 14stone. I need to hit 9 1/2 to hit a healthy BMI.

I LOVE hummus!!!

It's one of the things that tastes better when shop bought imo...off to check the carb content of the Tesco one!

Does anyone know why MFP is giving me a plan to lose 1lb a week when I've set it for 2lb? It's really annoying!!

Rejoined slimming world again tonight, was the exact same weight I was when I joined last January which is quite good as I has a baby in between! Was expecting to be loads heavier!!

LittleDoritt · 03/01/2019 23:23

That's really good Dwangela - I was about three stone heavier after my last child. (And have been ever since. She's five in March...)

Good morning, Ladies.
I'm still keeping to the the no puddings, snacks or alcohol - but I am suffering terrible sugar withdrawal. Last night I had a splitting headache, was irritable as hell and could barely think straight. I slept terribly last night (not helped by a snoring DH!) and now this morning I feel exhausted and really shaky! Sad I nearly caved last night and had an emergency Tunnock's, but stayed strong!

mrbob · 04/01/2019 06:41

I am finding myself much less inclined to snack when my only options are basically almonds... They are getting a bit boring now! Torn between being happy because snacking is a major problem for me and being aware that I probably need to prepare an alternative or I too will cave and need the Tunnocks

Have found some great vegan keto chocolate things I might attempt

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 06:52

Mrbob do you have a link?

Was going to ignore the mushroom powder stuff!

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:15

I think they sell most of that in Holland and Barrett...I'm going to give them a go, too!

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:31

I thought it may be useful for us...

Can someone please click on the link to see if they can access it? (It's a spreadsheet)

mrbob · 04/01/2019 07:37

Yes! I am going to do mine in kg if that is ok?

mrbob · 04/01/2019 07:37

Although I am not sure how to save it...

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:38

Sure! If it's always in KG, you'll be able to see your loss either way ❤

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:39

And I'm getting notis that you've started editing! RESULT!!! I've never timeshares before! NSA!!!!! (Non Scale Achievement) 🤣

tryinganewname · 04/01/2019 07:40

@yellowsparkles yes there's a few of us doing WW, me included Smile

Day 3 of tracking today and still on a 'blue dot' streak.

Friday is my official weigh day so I've jumped on and I'm down 0.6kg (1.3lb) so I'm happy with that for 2 days, obviously it's bloat but I won't discriminate!

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:40

fileshared ffs!

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:41

trying well done!

mrbob · 04/01/2019 07:42

I have just found out I can go and visit a "gentleman friend" interstate next month so an extra motivation for losing some of my blubber Grin

AFridgeTooFar · 04/01/2019 07:42

Should I post the link to the spreadsheet on the weigh in thread? I've saved it on the fbk group (there are six of us on it so far)

mrbob · 04/01/2019 07:43

Yes I reckon that would be good

TheHoundsofLove · 04/01/2019 07:54

Thanks for doing the spreadsheet Fridge - I've added myself.

tryinganewname · 04/01/2019 07:56

Just scanned my chilled coffee (absolute addiction of mine) and it's 5 bloody points!

Definitely need to have a 0 point breakfast now.

Doing a vegan week next week Confused just to see how we go with it - already vegetarian and been playing with the idea of vegan for a while but I just don't know how I could give up eggs! I like vegan cheese so that's not a problem and I use cows milk alternatives anyway.

Not sure how strong my willpower would be with weaning DD though Hmm

NewFitMe · 04/01/2019 07:57

So I weighed myself this morning to see if this cold has helped me a bit and I’m only down 100grams!! So annoyed. I’ve hardly eaten anything for the past 3 days!! Should’ve not checked....

wizzler · 04/01/2019 07:58

Well done, Trying.

NewFitMe · 04/01/2019 08:00

Thanks for the spreadsheet fridge, great idea. Stupid question but how do you use it? 😁 It wouldn’t let me write anything
