Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 6. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Hi all,
I had a pretty good weekend, lots of running around and far less in the way of boozy calories than usual. I find that I'm much more aware of what I'm eating now and reading other proples meal plans is a real inspiration.

Today's food was:
B boiled eggs
L M&S sandwiches supplied by work for a meeting I was in
D 2 Sausages with sugar snap peas, a few (and I really mean just a few) chips and a tomato and shallot sauce that I made to give it all some punch.

I like the idea of a monthly weigh in rather than weekly so will wait a few weeks before hopping on the scales again.

Hello everyone -

Well done Frogga - you are doing fantastically!

Paul - welcome back!

Supgz - I make my hobnobs with the new Splenda brown sugar and I find that they rise just like the original sort - I wasn't a fan of the yellow box Splenda hobnobs. In the french onion soup I just used a tsp or so of flora, but next time I am going to use olive oil as its better for you.

I have had a weird day - I had my sultana bran first thing but then got a call from my Goddaughter who was in a right state because she is in the middle of a break up with her long term partner so I had to go over to see her (about 15 miles). Anyway long story short, she isn't coping well and I ended up staying most of the day and then bringing her little girl home with me to sleep for tonight. Upshot was I didn't have anything to eat or drink from 9am until we got home at 4.30. I had a piece of toast and cube of cheese with a cup of tea as soon as I got in and then my dinner of sliced roast pork with pasta n sauce, followed by a mullerlight and cereal bar at about 7ish. That was supposed to be it for today but DD2 just gave me a bag of Comic relief crisps and I ate them:o All in all not a bad day really, just not much fruit and veg. I was going to have my leftover french onion soup today so will look forward to that tomorrow!

Marion- hope it went okay at Slimming World!

Floyd - if you are eating out in town have you been to Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Liverpool one? It's lovely and healthy too of you want it to be! There is a 2 for 1 voucher on the restaurants board here too!

Anyway hope you all had a good evening!

RS I LOOOOOOOVE GBK, if you ever go in and see someone eating a falafel burger with it all spread up their arms its probably me! I always get in such a mess but have my greed googles on so don't really care who is watching me. I have been known to lick my forearms so as not to waste any of the hoummus dribbling down

I hope we go there

Morning all!

welcome back isparticus!:j

Floyd - I hope you find something healthy at the pub, usually its a nightmare eating out, especially if like me you dont eat meat.

Marion - how did the weigh in go?

am off to work for an 11 hour shift later with 2 meals there. I am about to make some cous cous and ahve some roasted veg in the oven. I will have this for lunch with some tinned skinless boneless salmon. For dinner I'm not sure what's on the menu but am taking some pasta and Quorn bolognaise from the freezer in case its something I cant eat(it's usually meat based:rolleyes: )

B - spaghetti on toast

L - roasted veg cous cous with salmon

D - quorn bolognaise, pasta and a side salad.

snacks - the usual fruit and yoghurt. need to try and avois the biccies today.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Morning All!

Well I did all my exercise last night but a dollop of mayo and a big wedge of bread slipped in to my dinner! A bit annoyed really as I'm worried i'll gain this week. I'm going to go for a run when I get in tonight. I desperately want to lose 5lbs before 20th March which I know is do-able... I just need to concentrate!

Plan today is:

B - WW yog
L - Pitta with ham salad
D - Salmon fillet I found lurking in the freezer. I'll probably make it into a sort of casserole dish with leeks and green veg.
S - milk, pink lady apple, sf jelly

I am feeling deeply despondant. I have checked back to my first post which was July 2008 and my weight was 11st 6lb. I have lost just 4lb in 7 months. Rubbish. I am lost for words so will say no more. Hope your day is better than mine.

Your menu looks so nice today taplady, I think I will copy it tomorrow:D! I had another disappointing weigh in and put on another 1/2 pound. I am so cross with myself. I am now coming off the EE plan and going back to the good old red and green days that I lost weight on. I think the problem with EE for me is that I need to feel that I am in control of my eating and since EE allowed foods from both red and green I just did not feel in control and as a consequence overate and basically didn't stick to plan. I started day one again yesterday on green and did fine, I am doing green until Friday when I will go red for the weekend. Fingers and toes crossed for me this week everyone, I am feeling a little down because the gains I have had since Christmas has put me back to the weight I was over 6 months ago. That is £108 in slimming world fees which I have basically thrown out the window:eek:

I now have a steely glint in my eye and will succeed!

Someone just commented on my weight gain ... 'have you gained weight?' Fed up - - really fed up.

taplady

spugzbunny - (((hugs))) what an insensitive person, nobody wants to hear that do they! just dont let them push you into comfort eating - show them you can do it!

Marion - good luck on the green days, the thought of wasting money should spur you on!;) it always works with me when I get close to being over my 3lb limit at SW and possibly having to pay again!:D

Hope you enjoy my menu tomorrow:D ( the roasted veg which I added to the cous cous were some frozen ones from Sainsburys and are delicious)

paul (((hugs))) to you too x

off to work now with my big bag of food:D

take care x
