Hya folks

Another returner here...:o

Well done to all the losers...:T:T especially Frogga, you are a great inspiration to us all!:A

I have not posted for a while and haven't even lurked regularly for the last few weeks. I weighed myself this morning...and I have put on so much weight, back up to post-Christmas binge and beyond..:eek: I have never been so heavy in my life, and it scares me.

My back is still very painful (since early December), and I am unable to move much, never mind take "exercise". I am on so much medication, which may not doing me much good as I am still in a lot of pain I am trying to cut down some of the medication as it is really making me do-lally as well as giving me stomach cramps.

Still on the bright side, I do have my MRI scan this Thursday. On the downside, I don't see the specialist until mid-April though, but we will then know what is wrong..... hopefully!

So I am going to have to stop the nibbling in between meals and cut down my meal portions..again. I will also try to drop in here every day and post my food for the day, I am sure it helps.

Must go and check the freezer so I can plan meals for the next few weeks, including today!

Thanks again to all posters, it really does make a difference coming on here and really all your messages.

So food for today:

B: HM muesli, soya milk & OJ
S: 2 mini mars bars (the last now for ages!)
HM veg soup, 1 slice hm bread spread with v low fat cream cheese; banana
S: SF jelly & blackcurrants
T: ?
S: toast & marg - better than cakes and hob-nobs!

Will pop in tomorrow - promise

I think this place is so fantastic, so supportive and most of all SENSIBLE. This isn't about dieting for me, although I want and need to lose weight, it's about changing the way I eat for life.

well said!:T :T :T

keiss - good luck with the scan!

welcome to all the new faces and the old ones too;)

RS - never had a problem with quorn - not like with real meat. Tonights quorn bolognaise went down a treat and with my new smaller portions not a sign of IBS:j :j :j I even left some of it on my plate which is a first for me!:D mind you the garlic bread was rather nice too:o

well done Kitty!:T

Morning All,

Well as expected I went a bit off the wagon yesterday as I was sulking! Doesn't really help me tho! So I was thinking on my walk in today about when I mess up. The majorrity of my off plan food is late in the evening or straight after work. I now have a grand plan (i'm full of grand plans!!).

THE RULES (said in ominous voice!)
1. Plan meals ahead inc. snacks,
2. Record not only what I eat but when I eat it.
3. No eating after 8pm.
4. Take each day one at a time.

So today's plan is:

B - Yog (1.5) @ 8am
L - Ham Salad in Pitta (3)
D - Salmon veg thing I made last night (3)
S - Milk, apples x2, carrots, sf jelly. (1.5)

Hi folks :hello:

Feeling quite good today after feeling rubbish with an offy tum since weekend.

Foodwise I've not been tooooooobad:rolleyes: I had chippy last night as I was really late home/wet through but I only ate half of it and put the rest in the bin :eek:
The last 2 nights I've not eaten anything during the evening either - that's usually my worst time:cool:

Today's plan.
B: 2 slices toast and marmalade
S: geobar
L: wrap with a little hummus and a lot of salad, yoghurt
Stuffed mushrooms with garlic potatoes.
Fruit if I need a nibble
No exercise planned to day as I've pulled a muscle in my back whilst scraping ice off the car this morning:mad:

Tappy - good luck for your WI :T you'll be fine :j

today:
b - orange, banana and kiwi fruit w. an activia yoghurt
l - steamed salmon fillet w. lime and coriander, in a granary sandwich w. salad and some mayo
s - apple/pear, oatcakes, olives in brine
t - not sure, something from the freezer/store cupboard

great to hear everyone sounding so positive, must be because the rain has stopped!

Oh dear, well my food intake yesterday was okay but BF and I met some friends for a couple of beers last night and I really didn't mean to have anything. Never mind, I'll stick to my guns tonight!Today breakfast was a WM finger roll and a smear of peanut butter as I flew out of the front door + a small bowl of muesli and s/skimmed milk at my desk. Lunch will be the rest of the soup and a finger roll from yesterday plus a nice big orange and I'm not sure what dinner will be. Hope everyone has a good day.

One thing I have noticed this week is that my skin has gone from being totaly clear to having a few sore spots, particularly on my chin and lower cheek. I wonder if my body is protesting at the lack of calories!
