  • Afternoon all, also had a rubbish weekend :o
    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 :p

    Hope everyone else is having a good day! Bye for now!

    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

    Buy 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 morning

    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 swim :D and am now having porridge with raisins and cranberries
    Lunch is a granary bread hummus and beetroot sandwich and tea is erm...pancakes :o
    Just a savoury one for me!


    Back later folks!:A
  • 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
    Pancake
  • 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 all

    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 :o

    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 :o I ate most of them :o Will experiment making them mocha flavour, or ginger flavour next time :o

    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 some :o
