Afternoon all, also had a rubbish weekend
Not so much rubbish as eating really badly (although I did have a twix yesterday and hated myself all day for it) but I had lots of exercise planned and did none!
Well done on the loss Rockie!
Today has been/Will be:
Breakfast - 2 slices home made wholemeal toast with quorn deli slices
Lunch - Greek salad flatbread with yogurt and feta
Dinner - HM carrot and orange soup (lots of it as soup never fills me up!)
Snacks - Dried apricots and dates and a banana inbetween meals
Determined to stay on track the rest of this week, now I better leave before I convince myself I can exercise "later" which gets pushed back all day until 10pm
Hope everyone else is having a good day! Bye for now!Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time0 -
Hi Everyone
I'm still around, just getting over half-term madness:p
I've lost 1.5lbs since last checking in, so not too bad.
I hope you are all well
I hate missing checking in - soooo much to catch up on
B - alpen and OJ (not in the same bowl - lol)
L - HM soup & wholemeal bread (I wish HM!!)
D - pork stir fry & yog
S - banana/apple and a few prunes0 -
Hi everyone
Have decided I am going to join in this thread. My problem is I don't eat enough! Seriously my calorie intake is very small, fortunately I'm not putting weight on but unfortunately I am not loosing anything either. I went on one of those sites where you put in what you eat during the day and on average I eat about 600 calories. Not good at all and probably explains why I can't be @rsed to get out of bed in the morning, and have mood swings as well. So my LBM came this morning. I haven't done as well as I'd expected but every small step is a step in the right direction. Half my problem is I just don't fancy food.
So far today I have consumed
Breakfast (not something I ever ate) double serving (100g) of Tesco muesli & semi skimmed milk
Lunch - ham roll, lemon curd roll and packet salt & vinegar crisps...oh and 6 tesco value mini choc swiss roll things (hangs head in shame)
Tea is going to be 2 pork & apple sausages and loads of salad. Followed by a jelly and some grapes and an apple.
I currently weigh 14st 4lb and am only 5ft 2. With a bra size of 34HH - wud love to get down to 34DD and 10st.
bye for now
RuthBanana LoversBuy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning0 -
evening all!
well done rockie!:T
RS - have PMd you.
yesterday was a bit of a disaster( scones, jam and cream:doh:) and today could have been better.
B - optivita, banana and raisins
L - salmon fillet with sweet chilli and soy sauce, salad and 1 slice WM b & B
S - mullerlight
D - quorn bolognaise, salad sprinklig of cheese
The above is not bad but its the extras that ruin it - 1 leftover scone,butter and jam and 1 bag maltesers(so far)
Its been a long weekend at work but I've 2 days of now - sort of - am doing the first part of a course on massage tomorrow.
take care all xDo what you love :happyhear0 -
Well done to the "losers" :-)

Hope everyone else had a good day.0 -
Morning folks:hello:
Stuck to plan yesterday apart form the 2 slices of still warm granary bread that jumped into my mouth, oops! :rolleyes:
Just been for a swimand am now having porridge with raisins and cranberries
Lunch is a granary bread hummus and beetroot sandwich and tea is erm...pancakes
Just a savoury one for me!
Back later folks!:A0 -
Well I stuck to my plan too up until about 7.30 pm when I had a terrible craving for something chocolatey -pmt:rolleyes: so I made a batch of breadcrumb cookies which have cocoa in them-very thrifty recipe but not ideal for losing weight. Anyway I had about 8 :shocked: and that cured the craving:rolleyes: .
Really must do better today. Here's the plan.
Breakfast -Slice of toast, butter and marmalade
mid-morning-fruit
Lunch- leftover couscous and veg stew with a small helping of leftover couscous. Fruit
Supper - Baked potatoes with tuna and sweetcorn or beans, salad
Pancake0 -
RS - best wishes to your daughter by the way , I hope her GP has been able to help and reassure her.
Thriftlady - may I ask for the breadcrumb cookie recipe please? I am still baking for my husband so it would be very welome if non-vegan :-)
Feeling very postive about sucess now - I would love to be healthy BMI again, it is only the last two years that I have let myself go.
Not missing the dairy as I didn't really eat a lot of full fat cheese, wholemeal bread seems to be working as a replacement of the buns and biscuits I used to eat.
Plan for today is:
toast
soya milk and apple
hummous and bread with carrot sticks
soya milk
peanut and brown rice pilaff
Best wishes to all0 -
morning all!
plans for today
B = poached egg on toast with spaghetti
L = HM butternut squash soup with WH bread
D - HM cheese and potato pie with the rest of the spaghetti and a veggie burger
snacks - need to buy some yoghurt, banana, clementines
have a good day all
(((hugs))) to RSs DDDo what you love :happyhear0 -
Morning.
Was very :mad: and grumpy yesterday, but anyway...
hugs to everyone that needs them.
Managed to STS - very surprising actually - probably only due to lack of money before payday that caused a reduction in the food
However the weekend experiment of eggless chocolate buns (might have been posted by thriftlady as it was posted as an adapted wartime recipe - thanks) worked well - and the butter icing I added as they weren't very sweet
I ate most of them
Will experiment making them mocha flavour, or ginger flavour next time
So onwards - still 4lbs to go to get back to goal.
Food today:
b: oats soaked in water, syrup
l: hm butternutter squash soup and a roll
d: beef borginion from freezer
snacks... I just wish I had someworking on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0
