    I'm here, i'm over in Norfolk UK, Ellie, two kids ones 2 and a half and the other just turned 1 last month.

    I had a rubbish month last month and really really hoping i can do better this month but i've no motivation at all, seems to have walked out on me whilst i've been poorly!

    Hey Katzpawz, I'll be happy to share recipes, but I'm a veggie, so they might not suit your taste buds. But you could always add meat .

    Hi JimJam87, we're practically neighbours!

    We're actually interested in going veggie (or at least cutting down the amount of meat we consume). I just need to learn how to get the right nutrition and satisfying meals without meat. I'd be grateful for anything you'd like to share! Thanks!

    Hi to the newbies. This group of UK'ers is excellent.

    Glad to see that you are all doing well. KP well done on avoiding the sweet stuff for so long. I wish I could do that. In fact I wish I could get out of this little rutt I am in. I go a couple of days being good then fall straight back in to my old ways. I can only put it down to work. Things have stepped up a pace here and sometimes I just do not get the time for myself. For the past month or so each Monday I say to myself "this is the week that I find time for myself" and by Wednesday/Thursday it has gone down hill :mad: :explode:

    Coming here and seeing how you are all doing does give me that motivation to keep trying and I will!!!!

    Good luck to the rest of you with your own challenges.
    Steve

    I've had a week off work so been utterly naughty as been catching up with friends for lunch. Chinese restaurant yesterday and a pub lunch today. Not over bothered though, life is for living after all and I don't eat out often.

    On a completely different note stumbled across this article on The Mail website whilst I was looking for info on something else http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1320347/Diet-low-calorie-foods-manufactured-unhealthy-substances.html

    I knew that low fat or light products often have more sugar to try and put some taste back but I'd missed the fact that light mayo had more salt in too. I thought I'd done my homework and was making a good choice....hmmmm.

    Not a good month for me thus far. This time last month I'd about lost my 9lb target, this month I've only lost 4lbs. Certainly a good loss by most standards, but a little disappointing.

    Shouldn't be a surprise, I've had a bit of illness and not done much gym time. Really annoying anyway, I was expecting next month to be a slow month (honeymoon and all that) but should still meet the target I'd set myself for the wedding slightly early still anyway.

    How's everyone else going?
