  • Hi everyone. Well, I braved the scales this morning and it was more than I thought but I'm not going to be daunted by the numbers. I know I have to take this one pound at a time. So I'm starting out at 13st 5lbs. It was toast for breakfast and it'll be leftover home-made beef caserole with the peas and sweetcorn that went with it. Tonight it's hm liver and (a little bit of) bacon pots and lots of fresh veg. Good luck everyone.
    It's up to me now and nobody else.

    Well done taplady. :j

    Doing a little better today. Got out for a walk at least and plan to go out again later. So far had:

    Breakfast: bowl of melon and grapes (100 cals)

    late morning: apple, banana, 3 forkfuls of coleslaw and a skinny cow icecream (300)

    That should count as lunch really but I am famished today as per :D so plan to have:

    Lunch: 1 potato waffle topped with poached egg (200)
    (actually had piece of smoked trout and another skinny cow icecream (150)

    Dinner: sweet potato, yellow pepper and courgette korma with quinoa (500)

    I have another skinny cow icecream in the fridge intended for OH. It's never going to last till he gets home is it. (!)

    well done taplady and wyrdsister :D and well done on making a start with weigh-ins and food diarys to mozzy and 4moneysaver :j

    day 2 of lent and its weird as i really havent missed the sweetstuff at all, its almost as though i have made the decision to give it up for lent so i CANT have it. wish i could do that with rest of my diet :rolleyes:

    have been too busy to post from work today but the scores on the doors are ...

    breakfast, 2x wm toast

    lunch was at a friends so a bit out of my control, i did turn down hm cookies and scones though. had creamy mushroom pasta (not too much and turned down bread) with about 5 fattening but delicious cream cheese stuffed mini peppers

    dinner was left over turkey meatloaf, kale and a small piece of quiche that jumped on my plate :o also had fruit salad.

    not too bad a day.

    have a nice evening xx

    evening!

    well done wyrdsister:T

    Audrey Hepburn - well done on sticking to your plan!:T

    Rockie - I had about a 1/4 of a portion of the fish and chips and was ok:j but I think any more would have been a different matter:D I think thats the way to go, my usual food but less of it instead of this low residue diet the doc wanted me to try plus it helps to chew more and eat slower.

    Work again tomorrow but am taking my lunch with me to cook there of salmon with a sweet chilli and soy sauce topping and salad.
    Not sure about breakfast yet or dinner.

    Will be back tomorrow evening to see how you're all getting on x
    Do what you love :happyhear
