Day 1

Well here I am on day 1. It's Ash weds , first day of lent so am giving up up butter for the duration ending on 13th April Easter Sunday (also my amazing mums 87th birthday).

Am looking to lose a stone in that time, weigh in this morning 10 stone 6 lbs, maybe doesn't sound much but I am 5 ft petite build , dress size 16 right now, should be in the 8 - 9 stone range.

Am going to make a menu of my next day's food each evening so I know exactly what I have visually.

For every pound I lose up to Easter Sunday I pledge to donate £5 to the BHF

So here goes, wish me (and the BHF) luck!

Good for you Rosie and all the best to you

Hello Rosie, wishing you all the best. It sounds like you've got a plan which is always a good starting point.

Sounds like a good plan Hidden . You might never go back to butter, but please remember that it is better for you than margarine or any of the soft spreads-everything in moderation. Planning is definitely what saves me from myself!

[Hidden in reply to Ceals]

Absolutely agree, only have organic butter, am very fussy about what I put into my body, it's the quantity that's the problem...
