    Well considering I had a good night drinkies last night and am hungover today I'm not doing too badly eating-wise. Haven't staggered down the caff for a fry up ;) .

    So far had:

    Breakfast: 2 potato waffles with eggs fried in frylite (330 cals)

    11 am: tortilla spread with hummus (130 cals)

    Plan for later:

    Lunch: campbells mushroom soup (300)

    dinner: fish pie and veg (450)

    Looks reasonable so far, lets hope i don't muck it all up.

    Today I am having a green day:

    B - blueberry rice
    L - pasta bake from the freezer HM
    s - scan bran with quark and yogurt mixed as a spread
    D - quorn cottage pie with green beans

    Marion

    Afternoon everyone, eating today has so far gone to plan, I am having another green day. Yesterdays plan (as above) was good, ate everything on my list and nothing extra untill about 9pm when I somehow managed to have a large scotch (followed by 2 more) and at least 10 chocolates from the many boxes my daughter received from her students for her birthday:o (She has now whisked them upstairs so out of sight and out of mind for me:o)

    Today I am making an effort to be extra good to make up for last night. My plan is:

    B - bacon and eggs on toast
    s - plums
    L - last of the pasta bake take out of freezer yesterday
    s - yogurt
    D - southern style quorn fillets with McCain rustic chips - this is very good for me because I am making sausage and mash for my daughter at her request, and I love sausage and mash - not talking quorn here you understand:p. This dinner will be followed by one piece of birthday cake with ice cream. I will ask the birthday girl to take the rest upstairs or make sure it all gets eaten! How sad am I?:rotfl:

    Have a good day every one

    RS - if you are a fan of mash (I could eat it all day) but want a low cal version I've started using different veg to cut down on the amount of potato used. Swede is very low cal, as is butternut squash, so using one potato, a bit of swede and some butternut squash for your mash means it is farily guilt free. And it is so tasty I don't need to adulterate it with salt or butter. I much prefer it to normal mash now.

    Evening all. Another 3lb off this week so pleased with that. BMI is now 25.1 so normal is within sniffing distance!

    Well done to all the losers and STSers.

    Frogga. Mrs. Be grateful for any loss no matter how small and understand that it is an acheivement. Focus on what you've lost, not what you haven't.
    Weight loss to date - 8st 13lbs :j

    morning all!

    ShellBel - well done another great loss!:T and a wonderful BMI - you must be really chuffed with what you've achieved!

    had another good day yesterday:j nothing naughty passed my lips again:A need to keep it up this week.

    B - 1 sml WM toast and a sml bowl shreddies

    L - not sure yet - either a sandwich or beans on toast.

    D - HM quorn cottage pie with veggies.

    snacks are th usual banana, grapes and yoghurt plus I've tried the new ryvita snacks that you can dunk - only 57 cals each and quite nice, they are called Ryvita fruit crunch - a good biscuit substitute if you like ryvitas.

    Hope you all have a great Sunday x

    Good morning everyone and well done Shellbel - I look forward to the day that I will even have the courage to work out my BMI - no way am I going to do it yet! Yesterdays plan (as above) went ok with the exception of the single portion of cake and ice-cream which somehow transformed into 2 large portions:o however the rest of the day was very good!:j

    Today I am switching to a red day in preparation for weigh in tomorrow morning.

    B - fruit and yogurt, bacon and eggs
    D - roast beef and a selection of steamed vegetables
    S - tuna salad
    any nibbles will be fruit

    I was hoping for a loss this week but looking back on it I guess I may have to hope for a maintain! Oh well - one day I will have a loss again! I seem to have been on a plateau for ages and have no one to blame but myself - at least I am not gaining!:p

    good morning.
    retiredlady, i seemed to have joined you on that plataux and ive lost 100lb less than you :rotfl: like you say though, at least its not a gain :D

    well, after almost 2 weeks of feeling dreadful, i almost feel human again (not quite though, breathing still not great) i do now feel well enough to start taking control of my diet again, i have eaten just what i fancy as my motivation to cook properly has been rubbish.

    i need to think and plan a bit for next week though as im going to be tired after work.

    today will be:

    boiled eggs and toast
    cous cous with sweetcorn
    roast chicken, veg and yorkies

    i have still stuck to my giving up sweets, biscuits, cake and chocolate for lent :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: it was tough last week but i did it :D

    well done to all the losers, hope youre all having a good weekend!
