Yay for so many of us starting the year on the right foot, and the Double Yay for AfricaQueen for quitting smoking too. AQ - were you a heavy smoker?

I guess I have an (un)fair advantage over most of you, as it's summer here so I don't have the temptation of lots of hot yummy/comfort meals, and so it doesn't feel wrong eating lots of salad. Also, as a teacher, it's our long summer break, so I'm in the middle of a pretty lazy-stress free break. I'm glad I'm starting now, so I can get good habits in place before it's back to school (they say it takes 21 days to make a habit - though not sure if that's been scientifically proven).

I mentioned it before, but to save you looking, my weigh in day will be Wednesday.

 

[keepsmiling]

Well done to you for quitting smoking! we will be so much healthier and our egg quality will improve a lot too
Sugar free sweets are not really too good on the diet im doing but in general they are ok and a lot better than smoking if thats what u need to keep going

I have been snacking on apples and pickled onions... not together! haha.

I am making syn free chips with fish and peas for tea with a muller light for dessert. nom nom

How are we doing girls?

I have struggled today as its a year today since we lost our first baby and my tube and a lot of memories to deal with. Also my mum's MRI results are in and Dr wants to see her on monday morning... I have stayed off the ciggies and only ate 1 choc biscuit. I snacked on pickled onions in work as a snack and stayed away frm vending machine so im proud of myself today. DH has suprised me by coming home early from work(he works away) so im feeling much better xxx

I'm sorry for your loss. You've done really well staying of the ciggies and the vending machine. Especially on such a tough day. It would be very easy to confort eat!

Well done Africanqueen for staying off the cigs.
I found the first year anniversary to be the hardest. Hope your mum is ok too.

Name: Shelley
Age: 26 (will be 27 on April)
Reason: Lose weight to help improve my period regular and to reduce the high blood pressure and to trying to conceive and healthly pregnancy
Diet Plan: I am now on cambridge diet just started today and fitness on Feb/March

My period is irregular like every 5 to 6 weeks, and we are trying to conceive at the moment, I wants to join Rosemary Conley's fitness, but my cambridge lady recommended me to NOT go fitness as im on very low calories diet, but could go for a walk instead. So i am walking with dogs three time per day anyway.

I will quit Cambridge when i get what i wanted to target the size thats which poss in about 8 to 12 weeks, then join Rosemary Conley's fitness, to get myself fit and tone up afterward!

I will be weight with Cambridge on every Tuesdays.

Wish you all a good luck!!!!
