[Food] Lose 7lbs in November

[Blinkers]

That's amazing. The article is 10 years old, so if it works why haven't we heard more about it?

I don’t know why it’s not more publicised, unless it’s since been debunked? It’s just somehow stuck in my head as a fact and occasionally I get to reference it. I just wish I had the foresight to use it. I mean, how difficult is it to cook a pan of pasta and put it in the fridge for the next day’s meal?

I bought three large tubs of sweets in advance of Halloween so as not to get caught out.
There is very little left and I've developed a real taste for gummy tarantulas.

I’m just waiting to discover you bought the tubs via Shein and they weren’t spider-shaped sweets.

The only answer for me is not to have this stuff in the house. I don't have the will power to ignore it.

Weigh ins on Friday morning ?

Yep. Friday morning weigh in.

For those that have to have it in the house (for others) it's tough to ignore it, and it's good if you have alternatives. I like pickled eggs, pre-cooked chicken, 0 fat greek yoghurt (tell me it's bad for me, I f***ing dare you).

So we all eat as much as we can today to start tomorrow?

 

[Swegulls]

Oki, let's do it. I'm in!

 

[RandyWanger]

Like the idea of this! I'm in.

This is not the way.

No.

Even if you're joking, I'll highlight that the goal is not a successful November, it's successful long term health.

I'd done really well this week then succumbed to a large twix and a pile of toast in the evening. Back on the horse today though.

Chicken or fish would be a healthier alternative.

Anyone fancy joining me in trying to lose half a stone in November? A bit of pre-Christmas discipline.

All you have to do is post your weight change on here each day in November. No need to fess up your current weight, unless you want to. Just the running total loss (or gain).

A bit of accountability and support could really help.

Im in too - my mission was to lose 5kg before the year end - am currently 79/ 80kg . This will be a good place to share . Sadly this means less beer and less cheese !! But well done " hypia " you seem to have struck a chord here

I just gave blood and the lady at the centre forced loads of biscuits and crisps on me so diet starts tomorrow.

I'll be doing that tomorrow ... with a couple of orange club biscuits being forced down me afterwards.

Pretty sure the NHS keeps clubs in production.

The NHS isn't very well joined up is it?

Eat healthily, here have some crisps and chocolate biscuits!

The lady who greeted me made a quip about this. “We are the only part of the nhs encouraging snacking on sugary treats” she chuckled to herself. I wondered how many times she made this comment a day and then over the last 25 years (how long she told me she had been doing a role like it).
