Not going to be easy but after my lovely halloween weekend with my family, I need to take stock and get myself back on track.. for me. :) And so my hubby thinks I'm just as sexy next year as he did this! :blushing:

so.... this is my pledge to have a 'clean' week calorie wise and drink lots of water! lol

If anyone fancies joining me it'd be wonderful!

    Do you mean by "clean" staying under calorie goal? or "eating clean" like non processed food?

    Yay I have a buddy! Great thanks for joining me. I am not great on whole foods all week to be fair so can't promise that.. and having been naughty this weekend I know it'll be tough.. but we can do it!
    I'm going to weigh in the morning - just to be accountable for my 'bad weekend' and then get that weight off again! lol
    have a good first day x

    My weigh in is also in the am! I want to push myself this week to stay under 1600 with exercise so this will be great, and I'm starting strength training too!! Cheers to a great week!! I love your merry band of Scallywags! :)

    I'm with you Jane. I feel like I really stumbled along last week after a weekend away, but I'm ready to start anew (and avoid the Halloween candy!)

    I don't know if kids in the UK come home with bucket loads like the kids here, but I let me kids choose 3-5 pieces, then ask them to trade me for a "new" toy item and dispose of the candy. Works every time! Once the candy is out of the house, they don't miss it and I don't snitch it.

    I am in the UK and my kids have just come home with bags full!! I love your idea of a trade in... I am already feeling tempted by the naughty little chocolate treats that I know are in there!!

    Porffor - I would love to join your challenge!! I am trying to eat more protein and drink more water to bust through a massive plateau that I have been on since the 2nd week of September!! Fingers crossed!!

    Hello!! Sorry didn't get here yesterday.. Uni and Halloween put paid to my energy stores.. lol I went to bed early to avoid the sweets everywhere! lol
    Thankfully I won't eat most of the ones they came home with. The 'trade' sounds like a GREAT idea for next year though! they are so proud of their 'stash' but I know my 6 year old will be nagging till it's gone! lol my 12 year old is like a squirrel and stores it away never to be eaten in honesty.

    Ok.. I weighed in at 3.5lb UP from Thursday.. where on earth does all that come from? Tell me it's mostly water please! :blushing:

    Will weigh again tomorrow for a 2 day weigh in, being good though didn't log yesterday will log today to get back on track.

    So wonderful to see you all and have friends here for support! :flowerforyou:

    hope you're all doing well - how's today going?

    Another good day and a bonus to keep me on track.. toothache! lol I've had it niggling for a few days now but it got worse yesterday so because of Uni I booked an appointment and have now got a referral to hospital for the extraction of two wisdom teeth. :(
    Anyway.. pain still present so eating is going to have to be soft and gentle.. so the halloween sweets are safer than ever! lol

    Had a lovely ride today too - so happy bunny!

    How you all getting on?
