Hi all,

I didn't have breakfast today as I was off to Manchester for some window shopping but lunch and dinner were not too horrendous.

L: Green salad with pine nuts, capers and olives, 3 slices garlic bread
Veg curry and boiled rice, 2 poppadoms

S: Apple pie

My aim for next week is to avoid eating bread where possible to try and reduce the bloat a bit.

Have a good week all

morning all!

got 2 days off now:j not the best of weekends foodwise at work so need to get back on track now before tomorrows weigh in!

B - soaked muesli with skimmed milk

S - banana

L - jacket spud with baked beans and salad or cottage cheese and salad if I buy some when I'm in town

D - possibly a salmon fishcake, veggies from the garden, new pots and a bit of cheese sauce.

S -low fat yoghurt

I went and got measured at M and S yesterday for new bras, have gone down a size:eek: to 34D, I treated myself to 2 new bras with matching pants.
Hopefully now I'm at target nearly they wont shrink any more:D

Have a good day all

morning folks!

well, i've been out the house all weekend so have yet to read back through all the bank holiday posts, will do that later when i get a chance

well done to everyone who lost/sts. for me, i'd like to report a 2 lb loss, hurrah!
fora nyone who remembers that i was experimenting this weekend to see how badly my weight was affected by the heavy drinking/bad diet of a usual heavy party weekend - i normally weigh in on mondays, but this week did it friday morning instead, and had already lost 2lbs. so i suppose over the weekend i managed to sts, which isn't too bad, i'm very happy to have lost considering the weekend i've had. still, in the first 4 days i lost 2lbs, in the second 4 days i lost nothing, so i should definitely steer clear of the booze at every opportunity, i think probably the only thing that saved me is that i skipped a few meals due to being out drinking, oops.

will check back in later when i've had chance to catch up on the thread. food for me today:
b - bran flakes w. skimmed milk
l - hm veg lasagne
s - activia yoghurt
t - not sure, perhaps fish cake w. some veg

will go to spin after work

laters folks!

Well, my good intentiond got off to a bad start :eek: I'm on the bus today as OH needs the car so I got everything ready for todays meals last night. Got off the bus in the city centre and set off to walk the half hour to work (hate the second bus journey) I was almost at work when I thought to myself "I'm ready for my breakfast"........and realised it was in the fridge at home :mad: Canteen is shut for a conference so I had no option but to go to the Spar and get a croisant :mad: better than a pain au chocolat at least!
Got last nights leftover veg curry with some quinoa for lunch and sweet potato stew with couscous for tea.

At least I'll get plenty of exercise, I've done 5000 steps already :T

Morning all,

Feel really tired today which usually means I want to pick at food so I am off to the shop to get some fruit to stash in my desk for when the demon strikes. I also managed to leave my lunch at home today which means I will have to try and find something easy to prepare that doesn't contain bread or hog the micro for too long.

B: 2 apples

L: Not sure, probably salad or a packet cous cous which I know is not great but I can't think of anything else. People tend to get arsey if you use the microwave for more than 5 mins so a jacket spud is out (Edited to add, I ended up with cottage cheese, rice cakes, cherry toms and cucumber)

Probably wholemeal pasta with pesto because I am off swimming tonight so it needs to be something quick.

S: Maybe a skinny coffee if I fancy one

Hi all, Well done for all those with losses and STS. Well I weighed Sunday and I lost 3lbs taking me to the next stone down, so I have achieved my target for my return to school next week.

Not such a good day yesterday I had american burgers from the butcher, 90% beef, but all I could taste was FAT. I much prefer my own HM ones, but OH bought about 30 of these for a bbq that never happend, they were £5.00 for 4 aswell:eek: .

Anyhoo to make up for yesterdays disaster I am trying to eat no fatty, processed foods today.

B- porridge
L- scrambled Egg
D- Chicken version of Shepherd pie & Veg

Well have a good day all, I have done something to my back so I think I will have a relaxedish day.

Just caught up from weekend. Should have weighed yesterday but forgot it was a Monday, anyhow I have lost 1lb this week. I'm pleased as have been indulging in toast and butter, I still haven't found a snack that hits the right spot, have tried grapes, cherries, oat cakes (but this is what brought on the butter attack and so onto the toast! Veggie jelly is ug, too chemical.

Bfast Cherios and 2 coffees
jacket pot and cottage cheese
diner salad - goats cheese needs using up 30p bargain.

Morning All,

Thought I'd better nip on quick so you know I'm still alive Been SO busy doing housey stuff with Mr Frog that I havent had time to post.

Welcome to all the newby's and good luck :T

We've got a list of "things to do" while he is off work and I keep adding to it

So far we have~

1. Painted Tadpoles rooms
2. Painted Bathroon and re grouted
3. 1/2 serviced 1 car
4. cut grass and generally tidied up garden
5. 1/2 serviced the Central Heating

still to do ~

1. other 1/2 of car service
2. my car service
3. Clean both cars inside and out
4. other 1/2 of central heating service
5. Paint hall , stairs and landing
6. paint frount room
7. clean windows inside and out
8. clean up garage
9. go to tip
10. paperwork!!!

So you can see why I've been busy. not been too sensible with the food, but been working up a sweat so I rekon I'm burning some off

Really dreading starting work on Monday. Especially as the Tadpoles dont go back til Wed. It feels like I'll be away for their last days of Holidays which I have never done before and I don't like it. Luckily I guess Mr Frog has taken Mon and Tue too so he'll be home with them. That just means there'll be loads of mess to clean up when I come home :rolleyes:

Right, might not be on for a while as being such a busy bee. Be good everyone

Afternoon all.

Welcome to all the newbies there are a fair few of us now.

I havent had the best week food wise. Started off well and then I was picking at DD1's food and not counting it and I finished the week on 97 syns (should be about 70) and that didnt include all the bits and pieces pinched from DD1's plate! I did manage to lose 0.5lbs which I am disappointed at but a loss is still a loss and I only have myself to blame.

Rambler is right in saying that it helps to write things down and plan. I write EVERYTHING down now and as my SW class is on a Tuesday morning and therefore my "new" week starts on a Tuesday I spend 20mins on a monday writing a meal plan for the week which really helps (and means I can stick to my grocery challenge too!).

Good luck to everyone else weighing-in this week.
