    Hello folks:hello:
    I'm off work this week so posting may be a bit erratic!
    Spent the day at the lotty - weeding :rolleyes: mostly, but we picked our first corncobs:drool:

    Brekkie was porridge with apricots and dates
    Lunch - salad, avocado, hummus and a slice of rye bread
    Tea - pea, spinach and feta cake with homegrown courgettes, carrots and corn on the cob, followed by blackberry crumble and ice cream :p - not THAT bad, I made individual ones and didn't put much crumble on mine, (it was an oaty one so quite healthy!!!) and I only had 1 small scoop of ice cream AND I did stop OH going to the shop for a tub of cream or custard :T

    If I get hungry later I might have a yoghurt or some fruit and I'll try to avoid the toad if he comes calling ;)

    Hi all :wave: well done to all losers and STS ers

    Well my WI on Saturday said that I have lost 1 lb which is great even though I had hoped for more but I will take any loss I can muster :D

    Been away for a few days so my eating was a bit erratic but I tried to be sensible where possible.

    Sat
    B: Nothing, L: Quorn zorba with wholemeal pitta and lots of salad D: Tuna and red onion sandwiches, bag of french fries crisps and a Mr Kipling slice, S: small ice cream cone in the park
    Sun
    B: Wholemeal toast and marmalade x 3 and small packet of cornflakes with ss milk, L: Nothing due to late breakfast, D: Channa balti with lemon rice and poppadoms, S: Not so much snacks but I had 2 vodka and lemonades and 4 Midori melon balls _pale__pale_
    Mon
    B: Wholemeal toast and marmalade x 3 and a small packet of rice crispies with ss milk, L: Bean burger and a diet coke, D: Don't know yet, will probably end up being rubbish as we are both shattered after our manic weekend and long drive. We also have naff all in the freezer :eek: as the new one arrives tomorrow so I used everything up.

    Back on track tomorrow with normal eating and work, quite excited about my new freezer so this weekend will involve lots of cooking to re-stock it :D
  • it's another STS for me this week, 2nd week running, and again I'm just relieved I haven't put on.... amazed might be a more appropriate word actually!! Feeling much more positive than I have been so I'm going for 3.5lb off in September, very doable if only I can stay in the right frame of mind.....that's the tricky part!!

    Happy Birthday for last week RS, and well done you for resisting:T

    Nikki, best of luck with your appointment tomorrow, hope it helps xx

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Still no toad in this house :T We took ds (aged 3 3/4) to the local bed superstore on Saturday to look for a new mattress for him. He took his shoes off when he saw all the beds, and went round the shop like a ping pong ball on speed, bouncing from bed to bed. I was trying to pretend he wasn't mine, but he kept shouting us! I need to lose weight as I feel I'm going to need a fair bit of energy to deal with him properly as he gets bigger and more energetic.

    Todays food :-
    B: special K Sustain with yogurt (bought special K for work mornings, can't cope with a complicated breakfast just now and washing, dressing and breakfasting small person)
    L : ham and mustard sandwich
    D : chicken with potatoes and broccoli
    S : carrot sticks, reduced fat houmous and raspberries

    Take care everyone
