Hmmm maybe my hubby is a frog!!!! :rolleyes: Nah don't think so, he walks round the house in just shorts for most of the evening and days off so he can't be that cold blooded

So do I? What does that prove

Welcome BigSmoke xx DO you live in the?

Been scrumping new potatoes that have been left on the field next to the house :T Got LOADS and LOADS :j :j :j The farmer don't mind cos they get left and just rot so waste not want not

So meal plan for tomorrow is likely to be
B ~ Porridge with Banana and sliced Potato
S ~ Roasted Potato and Satsuma
L ~ Mashed Potato and Chilli
S ~ 6 nuts and a potato rosti
T ~ Chips! and boiled potatoes

Clever me and if I get peckish in the evening I'll have a jacket pot with marmite and beetroot :j Yummy Yummy Anyone care to join me for lunch?

Frogga - your menu for tomorrow sounds right up my street :T - I love spuds:D

10past6 - muesli is another good choice and is delicious if you soak it in milk in the fridge overnight! I add extra dried fruit nuts and seeds to mine.

have just had a digestive as I've done DS2s paper round and needed a boost before going to SW, I hopped on my scales and it looks about the same to me - but they never say the same thing twice:rolleyes:
I'll let you know how I did later x

thanks frogga - yep, i live in london but was born in the country so it's the big smoke to me! (the move to london is the reason that i've ended up on here, £s and lbs wise!)

Frogga that menu sounds delicious (except for the marmite - YUK!) I love spuds:D

Well, my good intentions went out the window when my mate brought me a box of proper shortbread back from her hols :eek: (you can go off people :rolleyes: ) I have brought some home:o but not a lot and I didn't go for my swim either In between biscuits I was good though:rotfl:


Tomorrow is another bad day as we have a leaving do for a girl at work, lunch in a 'posh' restaraunt:eek: I haven't seen the menu yet but as I don't often get the chance to eat anywhere posh.........still, I have dancing tomorrow night :dance: which will burn off a few calories
I've not had any tea yet, OH is working late so we'll have tea when he gets in, I've changed my mind and we're having stuffed mushrooms (they need using up before they walk out of the fridge on their own:eek: )

Lunch for me frogga.
Awesome in August target is 5 lbs.

Today's been mostly good -

breakfast - yogurt
lunch - just a couple of small bits of cheese
tea - spicy couscous with a mound of peppers and spring onions, salad, hard boiled eggs and a banana
snacks - fairy cake, small sausage roll

I think I'll do a target for August - 4lbs seems achievable but I'll be happy enough with less.

Hello everyone - welcome bigsmoke!

I am in a better mood than I was before AND I managed to get through without bingeing:T I have had:

Breakfast - nothing - in very bad mood!
Lunch - jacket potato with cheese and tuna (just a tin of drained tuna mixed with some grated double gloucester, chopped spring onions and a blob of Hellmanns extra llight mayo
Dinner - 8 mini blinis with low fat philadelphia, tomatoes, strawberries and a couple of mouthfuls of DD2's chinese savoury rice.
Snack - banana, Activia fat free and some cherries

Mrs M - I think I have heard of the barley water thing - My Auntie used to make barley water by boiling pearl barley in water with chopped up lemons - we used to have it sweetened with honey, but I yhink I will just use a bit of sugar free lemon squash - thanks for reminding me !

Frogga - lucky you with the spuds - I love jacket potatoes and the are quite expensive in Mr T and horrible in the greengrocers.

Well done lainie on the loss:T

Hi everyone,
Part five!!! Where have i been!!! This month has just flown by. Not had much chance to get online lately as internet kept playing up. Had a really busy month too. Not had chance to catch up on new thread yet but will do at some point.
Hi to all the newbies you'll love it here. Loads of yummy and healthy recipies to be had.
Well i never quite made my july target but im blaming my totm. I'm sooo bloated and due to this i'm back up to 10.8ish. My Aug target is to get down to 10.4, nothing too ambitious but doable (i hope).
Have to say tho i've been really good with exercise, n after 3 wks of had slog i'm starting to reap the benifits. My health coach has really helped keep me motivated with my walking. Been doing 16500 steps on average everyday (i have a park at the end of my road so been making the most of nice weather)
I'll start with my food diary tomoro coz i really cant remember what i ate today.
Have a good day tomoro everyone see you later

B: Nowt - had a lay in
L: Scrambled egg toastie
Spag bol, cal counted to 500 cal

Think I may have a sneaky glass of vino when I get in!

Right - My awesome in August target is 3lb - mmm better get myself motivated to do my menu plan for the month and stop stuffing my face!

Seems after a good July we've all reached a stand still again and lost our motivation, hopefully we can all gee ourselves on!
