    Evening all, just checking in before bed.

    I am absolutely shattered after doing 36 lengths in the pool so I ate some branflakes with semi skimmed milk and a banana when I got home as I knew if I went to bed empty I would start to crave toast and butter.
    I enjoyed my pasta with pesto, pine nuts, peas and parmesan but I think I burned it all off swimming because I was ravenous when I got home!

    Welcome all the newbies, good luck with your targets and although it may take longer we are all making permanent lifestyle changes instead of looking for the quick fixes that I am sure we have all tried before. :)
  • Well I thought I had finished eating when I posted last night, but no. A sneaky little mini packet of Frosties crept into my mouth, but I had them dry and it was one of the variety packs so luckily only 25g.

    Today has been a bit odd, I had my usual milky coffee this morning but when I went out just before lunch I nearly keeled over, reckon my blood sugar levels had plummeted but I don't really know why.
    B - milky coffee
    L - just under a whole long sub type roll with ham, cheese, tomato and cucumber in one half and thinly sliced beef in the other, and a few chunks of value fruit and nut chocolate
    D - half a long sub type roll with 4 fish fingers in batter, two cheese slices and tartare sauce, and a large summer fruit muffin for afters
    S - small apple

    Trouble is, here I am at 11pm and getting hungry again, maybe I should take mself off to bed (sitting on it with the lappy tonight for a change)

    Night all! (((hugs))) to all losers and STSs, hope the next week is better for those who've gained.

  • Okay, first confessional...

    Breakfast- Special K Sustain with raisin crunchy on top+ cup of tea :D
    Lunch- Mini choc bar, 1/2 doughnut (little nephew ate other half), cup coffee
    Dinner- 3 bean and prawn chilli, brown rice, dessertspoon sour cream, 35g tortilla chips, 2 scoops Ben and Jerry's :eek:, cup of tea

    Well the evening meal was pretty balanced and lots of pulses but the ice cream was a little naughty...
    God is good, all the time

    Ok, this morning weight 11st and half a pound (my scales do vary by a ton daily so will say wed morning is my weigh in day)
    yesterday had a glass of juice, 2 apples, a clemintine, 2 biscuits (at work very busy day) during the morning, a corn on the cob and 2 biscuits for lunch, and dinner was a salmon and potato thing OH made (which had cream in it- :eek)
    apart from the biscuits not too bad I suppose. Will have to work on the will power :)

    Morning¬!

    welcome to Happy-Rags:hello:

    My friend is doing Lighter Life at the moment, and has lost 3 stone in about 5 weeks, on 500 calories a day :rolleyes: which I know is unhealthy and unsustainable but even so it's hard seeing her shrink and knowing I'll soon be the fattest person in the village :rotfl:

    dont worry about it, what she is doing is a very unhealthy way to lose weight and is definitely not sustainable in the long term. Its a bit like the tortoise and the hare really - you as the tortoise will win in the end with regular small weight losses that will last long term. You just need to think that you will be eating healthily and change your life for ever not a quick fix that will soon be gone like the LL diet.

    Weigh in tonight for me, think I've STS(hopefully:D )

    B - boiled egg with wholemeal toast

    S - banana

    L - ? not sure yet

    D - 2 potato waffles, another egg and some hidden veg beans

    S - low fat yoghurt.

    Hope you all have a great day with no visits from the toad!

    Rockie - hope things improve for your XDH x
    Do what you love :happyhear
  • Morning :j Thanks Taplady, I agree, I'll be the tortoise but get there eventually!

    Well I've weighed myself, so at least I know where I'm starting from. I'm going to concentrate on losing a half stone at a time, otherwise I see the mountain as too big to climb and reach for a Mars bar....

    Breakfast: Cereal, milk
    Lunch: Tuna Sandwich
    Dinner: HM Lasagne
    Snacks: fruit, yoghurt, one hm fruit bun

    Does that sound ok??

    Morning everyone,

    Havent updated in a few days again. I must get back into the habit of popping on every day again! Well no suprise to me that i STS AGAIN. So thats 5 or is it 6wks ive STS!!!!! My OH said i should be happy where i'm at but for me its more of a psycological thing i think (i want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight). One of my friends goes to SW and thinkls im not eating enough, maybe i'm not but some days i fill up quicker than others n dont c the point of eating for the sake of eating my daily cal intake. I dont kno maybe that is where i'm going wrong. All i kno is its driving me round the twist knowing i've eaten healthily all wk and exercised too and not get anything back in return for it.
    Moaning over

    Today
    B - bran flakes
    L - soup and small egg sarnie
    T - chicken dinner
    S - yog
