    has anyone heard from Retired lady?
    no I asked the other day where she was, hope she's ok.
    The filler looks interesting - full of things I like to eat, will be interested to see how you get on though before I try it.

    HI!

    Today has been a much better day - even with a shopping trip to get the men fitted for their wedding suits and to choose the bridesmaid dresses its not been bad.

    We went for lunch and I stuck to a jacket spud, cheese and beans - all catered for on a green day. Had a banana for breakfast and will have something little for tea later on. Am hopefully slowly reparing the damage from Saturday.

    Recovering spendaholic- the Gourmer Burger we went to is in Didsbury Manchester, quite close to home for us.

    No Easter choccie for me at all this year - however its not all saintly, plenty of booze has passed my lips!

    bleuuurgh :o

    am far too fat and full to say anymore.

    will have a catch up wth the posts and let some food go down before trying to make a sensible comment.

    on the up side i have bought a mega expensive (£1k) treadmill second hand for £100 from a friend who was moving house and had no room for it.

    hope youve all had a good easter

    Morning all

    My 2 DDs and I bought new digital scales over the weekend and are having a weekly weight in at my house, filling in weight loss cards and paying £1 a week into a pot. We are hoping that if we do this on a more formal basis we might do better!:D

    Well back on track with a vengence today. Weighed myself first thing this morning and after I got over the shock, made a salad to bring with me for work with a few prawns.
    So todays meals are

    B Weetabix
    L Prawn salad
    D Jacket potato and chilli

    Snacks - Fruit and ryvita if desperate

    Hope everyone has a good days dieting!:rotfl:

    Weight loss since January 2011 - 5st 5 lbs!!!!!

    Its official weigh in day today and I'm not looking forward to it. My scales said this morning half a pound off but I never believe them (don't know why I bother really!) - we'll see what SW scales say later.....

    Todays food will be...

    B - cereal (milk to dog)
    L - so far just have a banana and 2 satsumas with me - will find something else at lunchtime (very disorganised last night, was trying to convince myself that I actually didn't have to go to work!):p
    D - either chick pea dahl and rice or HM 5 bean chilli (we'll see which one I can be bothered to make after WI, one's quick the other takes a bit of time)

    Am determined to get back on the straight and narrow this week after Saturdays excesses - Sunday and Monday were OK but the routine of work makes life easier for diets for me.:o

    Anyway, good luck to all of those with the dreaded post Easter WI.

    Hi all,

    Was fairly good over the weekend but didn't get my butt moving as much as I'd planned :o

    Still have lost about 2-3lbs (scales seem to change their mind a bit too often though).

    Food plans for today are:

    b: oats, honey and nana
    l: smoked salmon, with green olives and rice
    d: spring chicken in a pot

    snacks: few almonds and raisins, some frozen raspberries, a small sprig of raw cauliflower.


    Hoping for a walk later but need to go to sainsbugs so possibly not :o
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    Good Morning Chubby Chums :j

    Had a really lovely Easter weekend as Mr Frog was off for 4 whole days and we were very busy just being lazy and spending time together :D

    I was excellent with my eating as well (of course :cool:) and although I had pangs of wanting to have a little stuff last night, I didn't. In fact I was thinking this morning, I had such a lovely Easter, but not a drop of choc or carp passed my lips. I didn't overeat at all. And I feel really good for it. SO I don't need food to have a nice time.

    Have bought all the stuff for the fibre thing that RS was talking about but I haven't made it yet. I still have 2 days worth of museli to eat up first.

    If any of you need tips on how to be as perfect, you can go to howtobeasexcellentasfrogga.frog.uk It's a very helpful website but be warned, it gets very busy (understandably) so you may have trouble getting through.

    Have a nice rest of the day :D

    Ooooooooo yey me ~ Look who's top of the pops again!
    Say it once, say it loud ~ I'm an Atheist, Anti-Royalist, Socialist, Tea-Total Veggie Frog and PROUD!:D

  • So a potentially terrible weekend with the double trouble of it being easter weekend AND me spending it at my parents.
    I did indulge a bit of course but nowhere near as badly as I could have so I'm quite please!

    Although I was a bit freaked out to realise that we are halfway through April & I was hoping to get to my target weight/size by July! (or at least be a little more toned!) So really think I need to get my act together and start putting in more of an effort!

    Hope everyone survived Easter ok!
