[Biscuit]

I just drink it all with no milk or sugar. For the tea you need a green or earl grey type tea to make that work, but otherwise it's been good. I'm the same at work. Gotta be sipping something hot constantly. Most people look at you a bit odd if you ever ask for black tea in a cafe. Ha Ha.

I only drink coffee(decaf) during winter months. I put a small amount of sugar in it. I mostly drink caffeine free Diet Mountain Dew, Gatorade G2 and ice tea. I make ice tea with about 1/3 cup of sugar per gallon. I am from the south so the tea has to be fresh brewed and the sugar added while hot. When I am out I have to get mixed sweet ice tea with unsweetened. Some places put so much sugar in it I can't drink it.

Most everywhere in my area has fresh brewed ice tea, sweetened and unsweetened, they don't get much business if they don't (it's a regional thing). I have never drank much hot tea but I would probably like that during cold weather too.

I normally have something to drink, with ice in it, not far away from me, all day.

How are the rest of the new MFP'ers getting on?

10lb down from NYE (although possibly now 8-9 after last night's curry!). Have given up booze and been ramping up the weight training and running with about 110 miles of commuting last week until it got icy. I've been going over my food calories a lot and have eaten out 4 times but I think the weight training must be offsetting the naughtiness!

Very good, Becs. I haven't touched a drop since NYE and I am seriously considering going teetotal, for good. Not that I drink particularly regularly these days anyway. Sounds like you're making good progress!

Thanks Ant. That makes it 37lb since my heaviest last April and about the same to go if the bmi is to be believed - however I am desperate to keep my (ahem) womanly figure so will be balancing the bmi against boob maintenance! Getting a bit addicted to exercise though - did a 5 mile run in the snow this morning! Stopping the booze has made a big difference to the water weight - I've vowed not to drink until I have the keys for my new house!

Had my first proper weigh in today, good news was I dropped 3lb. Bad news was I started from 19st 4lb. 10lb heavier than what I thought I was starting from. Still it's going I the right direction.

 

[compo]

Last week at my official weigh in I was 122 kgs. Yesterday I was 119 kgs. I have been doing a lot of walking, a bit of cycling and cut out the between meal snacks. I think I am getting used to eating less as I am gradually getting less hungry between meals.

Another weigh-in, another satisfying loss, 3.5lbs this time to make it 9lbs in just under 3 weeks.
Pretty much back to my pre-christmas weight now, time to kick on and get myself lighter than I've been for years

Similar story for me potsy. I put on about 6lbs from mid Nov to end of year with too many eating and drinking sessions and not much exercise. I've got them back off again now, so ready to start the new year campaign properly!

Well done Potsy. I was doing ok this week until I left early on Friday. If I am sat around at home, I binge on cr*p. I don't think I will record much change Tomorrow. The target of 2.5lbs loss is going to be missed this week, I fear!

I'm like that, if I'm not busying myself I tend to eat stuff I know I shouldn't. During the week is not too bad, it's Saturday and Sunday evenings that are the worst, kids in bed , naff all on TV - couple of glasses of wine or a couple of beers and a family sized pack of crisps. This is proving the hardest bad habit to break.

This is why the mfp is so good, everything has to be accounted for so you know exactly how much you are eating.
Went slightly over last night (85 cals) but had a 300-400 defecit from the week so all good

 

[Sittingduck]

13st 8.5 lbs / 86.4 Kg
Down from 14st 1, last Monday... Mostly water weight but I'll take it

I'll check-in again next Monday and am aiming to be 13st 6, by then...

It's a gain! Lost the plot a bit Yesterday and this morning I was 13st 10 / 87.1 Kg.
I'll get back to business and check in again on Weds or Thursday morning. Should be back on track after this minor 'blip', ugh...

I must admit I am very disappointed as I stuck to it ridgedly last week ! Onwards I suppose...
