I thought I had been doing so well:o but my trousers are fitting a tad 'snug' today:( Probably my own fault, cuz I've been conncocting all amnner of meals from what's already in the house, plus trying various recipes from the Grocery challenge.

So my Friends [inc the new ones:wave:] is to be more vigilant! I wish I could be Awesome in August but in reality, I'm not commiting to a definate YEAR:D

Confession my aim is to lose 0.5-1lb per week, does that sound too low?

I don't think so at all! A small amount per week will IMO make you more likely to succeed. Plus, as it may take you a while to get to the weight you want to be, you're re-training your food thoughts and processes, IYKWIM?

Am I talking rubbish tonight? I just re-read that and it sounds like it, but I know what I mean, lol!! :rotfl:

Hello Please can I join. I am fed up of being permanently hot and bothered. Need to lose at least three stone as I am 13.12 and 5ft 5 tall but I cannot recall ever being less than 13 stone (in adult life!). I have tried various diets etc and seem to thin if I sign up and buy he books etc it will all click into place!

I think the key for me is portion control and more exercise.

Walked to work and back (mile and a bit each way) and going for a swim later. DD is away on hols at grandparents so I have no excuse (but could probably think of a few if pushed).

Food -I had porridge with skimmed milk, prawn baguette, peach and tonight am having quiche, pots and salad.
Bought a kids star chart which i have put up (reduced to 49p) to encourage water drinking, exercise and keep an eye on what I am eating.

Not sure what I should aim for - feel pretty determined.

thanks for reading
Nic

Evening folks:hello:

Dashed home from work only to fnd out that OH isn't working:rolleyes: so he'll be under my feet all night!
We've had Cauldron sausage, garlic and herb potatoes (using a bit of the G&H butter I made yesterday with home grown broad beans:drool: and I've just blanched the rest and put them in the freezer.

I'll have some of my lime jelly and berries in a bit and maybe a little ice cream or yoghurt.......

Kazzajr - I'm happy losing 0.5lb a week and ecstatic if I lose 1lb:j

Nice to see all the newbies and welcome back Toni :T

I'm 11 stone now and would like to lose 4lbs in Awesome August, I've only got 8 to lose to reach my target which I want to do by my birthday in September

Well, yeh, but hey, you're in good company

Been thinking I really must buy some new clothes. I will be starting the new job on Sept 1st and I NEED to get some for then. I really can't go to my new job in my old blue fleecy can I?

Have seen some bits in Littlewoods catalogue that are ok. Don't know what size to order either and I'm thinking that I should wait a little bit longer to see if I can get more lard off my ar5e before I go ahead and order. I'll kill myself if I order a size 18 and they dont fit. I dont feel much bigger than that but reality might say different:rolleyes: I know that at 14 st I can easily get into a size 14 M&S jeans. I think my brain must weigh a hell of alot

Evening all

ooooh lots of newbies too :T hello and welcome to everyone:D welcome to the madhouse

How bloomin hot is it???? it still hasn't dropped below 85 here yet :eek: im melting :rolleyes: ..but i should be burning lots of cals.... scuttling down to the basement fridge for water into the living room to drink it and then upstairs to "get rid of it" again if you get what i mean

I have just made 2 huge jellies with bottled cherries -in juice -used the juice to make up the jelly and fresh blueberries nomnomnom

Look what i fetched in from the garden today....:T going to use the patty pan to make a pasta dish and the aubergine probably to make either moussaka -or i might stuff em ..also froze enough beans for 5 more meals today..and swiped my 1st 2 baby plum tomatoes off to -they are gorgeous -im going to have masses -and they are the ones i got from the tomato in the fridge :j

lainie -i have dug out loads of recipes -so i will start posting them in the morning

right im gonna get back to my x stitch
have a great evening and keep up the great work

This thread looks like it will suit me recipes and lots of support but then I have no excuse not to do well now.
I meant to ask do you have a set day for weighing in?

Honestly a girl could get paranoid - as soon as I join a new thread is started!

As predicted today was damage limitation. Plus I had a look in the freezer and fridge earlier and I have so much stuff that is not good on SW (I'm not following it as such, just sort of sticking to the principles. I lose too much weight if I stick to it faithfully - having read that back I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to stick to it but add an extra B choice, more bread yummy!) so my proposal is to work through what I've got but sensibly and replace it with SW friendly things.

So today I've had

Muller Corner yogurt (sorry but it was in the fridge, given to me, I don't buy them)
Posh bread and different cheeses with coleslaw for lunch (as predicted)
For tea I'm having a medium sized spicy chicken pizza from the freezer, very little cheese on it so it's not too bad.

Not great but not bad as I haven't been picking and snacking and I haven't been bloated all day which makes a change.


Tonight, instead of sitting on here all night I'm going to put on some records and cds and do some crochet and reading.
