mornin' :hello:

Well the crisp challenge is going well, none for 6 days and that believe it or not is amazing for me. The weird thing is I don't miss them too much at the moment. I have tried not to snack if I don't need to. I have certainly increased my drinks intake which may be helping.

I'll catch you all tomorrow (WI day - 1st)

I hope everyone has a good day :T

today: shreddies/tuna salad/pasta + fruit for snacks.

hi everyone!

i had a yummy dinner last night - peppers stuffed with cabbage cooked in garlic and onion, with a bit of blue cheese on top and a potato rosti. well, a potato rosti man as the recipe called for a 'chef's ring' which i didn't have, so i used my gingerbread man cutter! certainly puta smile on my face as i ate it...

today:
b - wheat crunchies (oops) and a plum
l - lentil soup and slice of bread with soya spread
s - bowl of bran flakes, alpro dessert that i didn't eat yesterday
t - think i'll do some osrt of ratatouille or bean casserole

should add, i ate half a bar of chocolate after the tasty dinner last night as well!

and thanks for the polenta tips rockie - i'm going to try it next month i think (go food shopping after payday!)

have a good one

M.E.

Well we had a fabulous time picking up DD2 from France and then a 60th Birthday bash in Torquay.
So since the start of September I have put back 4lb, so a GAIN of 4lb.
Not too bad as I was bombarded with goodies at every mealtime.
I tried to keep to mostly fruit and vegetables and fish, but it wasn't always viable.
Trying to lower cholesterol as well as weight so

MORE FRUIT, FISH, FIBRE
and
LESS MEAT, WHEAT, SWEET, TREAT

Morning all,

Later than usual due to a horrifically late night in work yesterday so I am like a walking corpse today. Not really hungry but I know I must have something to kick start my metabolism. Might change the meal plan for dinner tonight as we had planned jacket spuds but I got a real hankering for bean and veggie sausage casserole (an old SW recipe that I love) with veggies so will see how it goes.

B: Nothing yet, maybe scrambled egg on 1 slice of toast
L: HM leek and potato soup
Jackets or sausage casserole with plenty of veggies

S: Probably nothing

That cherry pie is still lurking and I still haven't eaten any even though I took the top of the extra thick cream last night and took a long sniff I didn't touch it

Beki

morning all!

well, today's menu is...

b - cup of h/m tom soup with a h/m cheese mini-muffin

l - same as above, plus a couple of rice cakes

d - rice noodles with tons of mushrooms and a little tuna

oooorrrrrrrrrr... if (and this is a BIG if) the farm shop has got any brussel sprouts in (a bit early, but worth a phone call) then i'll be having a HUGE bowl of brussel sprouts with gravy i loooooooove sprouts! lol

Evenin' everyone:wave:

Congrats on a crisp-free week moneypooh:T and floyd for resisting cherry pie and cream..... you're a stronger woman than me!!:D

This week was going along nicely, healthy snacks only and 30 lengths in the pool yesterday ...... today some inconsiderate so and so in work had a birthday and brought in 2 boxes of shortbread (I luuurve shortbread) and a selection of muffins. If what I've heard somewhere is true and there really aren't any calories in yummy treats donated by other people then I'm still doing very well. If on the other hand someone was telling porkies.......:p

Ah well, will try again tomorrow. Keep at it folks!

Hello everyone

I have been lying low last few weeks due to being unwell with the flu, so I have been mainly having soup and porridge as my stable diet. Hasn't done my diagestive system any good and feel very bloated.

I have been keeping a track on everybodies progress which has kept me amused at times but very reassurring to know I am not alone.

Today I have eaten
B: fruit
L soup, 2 slices of bread
D beans on toast

weighed myself on Saturday and had a loss of 1lb.

keep up the good work everyone and keep on posting.

OK this week have been rubbish at posting, WI today of 10st 11 lb 3/4 so 1/4lb loss-not very good really
feeling much better and controlling portion sizes seems to be helping
today:
Brekkie-slice toast butter and jam
Lunch-left over thai red curry and rice (no meat OH picked all the duck out of my leftovers-lol)
Dinner-Pasticcio and salad
Snacks will be (or try to be-apples and oranges)

morning all!

didn't get time to post yesterday but can report a half pound loss this week - thats a pack of butter:D

Well done to lainz, Hotookie and earthstrong plus anyone I've missed who has lost!:T Beanie - STS is better than a gain in my book!;)

M.E. - glad you enjoyed your holiday - good luck in getting back on track!

Moneypooh - well done on resisting the crisps!:T

have got an extremely busy day today with no time for lunch so will pop a banana and hifi bar in my bag.
For breakfast I've had spaghetti hoops on toast. Tonight I've got a meal out but will try and be healthy:D they have seabass on the menu so might go for that!
