Have to say a special THANK YOU to xsticher for those yummy recipes last month and thanks to maggiebee for the humorous poem.
March is a tough month, it can be easy to be good in January and February after the excesses of Christmas but keeping going can be tough.
Do you have any particular motivation tips we can share?
Here is last months thread

I keep thinking about the Ed's question of motivation. One good motivator that I think is VERY important is all of you. Your support and finger pointing when needed is very helpful for keeping on track. Thanks to the faithful few and onwards and downwards... it seems we have all been very good this week, so let's keep up the good work.

Well done Lilymoon you must have done something right. I find I don't get so much exercise since I lost my Lab. Cars are to blame now. I don't eat anything after 7pm unless I can't say no but while it is not school holiday time I dont have anything in cupboard to tempt me as my grandson is only usually here most days in holidays. If I don't buy it I can't eat it but it is not easy with parents with children still at home.I always have a good breakfast. I swear my a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice every morning as this helps to break the fat down but some people on certain medication can't drink it . Don't forget write everything down as this helps for your weekly shop so that you don't run short of things that may lead you to eat the wrong things like picking phone up and ordering takeaways
I tried the grapefruit juice in the morning thing and it seemed to work. At least for a while. Although it may have been an illusion. For me it seemed to stop having an affect after a few weeks though. I haven't retried it for months now. Next to zero energy squash tends to be the cold drink of choice now. Although I really must check the 'use by' dates of all those juice cartons in the cupboard.
Thanks xstitcher. Been doing it from my old Slimming World books from when I went about 10 years ago and then bought some up to date ones on ebay. Started the beginning of September so been 26 weeks now. Had my weight double checked at the hospital so I know my scales are right. A long way to go still as I want to lose another 6 stone.
They are very good xstitcher. You get several different books, one which explains the diet and gives you syn values of lots of different food. Another which gives you menues, another about exercising, and you also get food diary sheets so you can keep a note of everything you eat. I have found them very helpful. Just got mine out to read through again as they give me new ideas to try different foods every time I read them.
