    Just a frilly top and black pants? Seriously I would consider wearing some trousers too ~ that'll be well embarrassing :o

    Gah why do I do it to myself? I knew I would weigh heavier because of TOTM and I still got on the scales this morning, and guess what? 2 lb gain....... :mad: so now I am disheartened, fed up and teetering on the edge of a binge.
    I promise next week I will try Tappys recommendation of different breakfasts as I did it before and it got things moving it just requires more thought and pre-planning :o

    Anyway, onwards and upwards. Not been too bad today, done lots of cooking to occupy me and keep me away from eating carp.

    B: Rice Krispies and semi skimmed milk

    L: Wholemeal roll with tuna, red onion and light mayo

    D: Veg samber and boiled rice, 2 poppadoms

    S: 2 squares of milk choc, 2 ginger nut biscuits

    I wouldn't normally bother with the biscuits and choc but I am having a pap day :p

    Hope everyone is OK

    Why can't you mix yoghurt into the rice - do you mean your breakfast rice thingie? Why not? And do you know why you can't have pitta bread?

    My consultant said it is because you would not normally eat rice for breakfast so it is not teaching me proper eating habits:confused:. I told her millions of Chinese people eat it every day for breakfast and it didn't seem to be doing them any harm:D - she just gave me "the look" and told me not have it. I still have it about twice a week though!

    As far as I know pitta bread is not high enough if fibre or had too much fat - one or the other!

    Hello everyone
    I'm not doing well at the moment,Will keep trying - and failing probably- and post when I can.

    :grouphug: Have a dodgy group hug, and hope you are feeling better soon. Positive thoughts - if you force a smile on to your face after a while you will either feel a lot happier or you will have sore muscles on your face! Either way you will have forgotten your current problems for awhile!:p :grouphug:

    Love
    Marion
    ps - I don't always make sense, but I know what I mean!:rotfl:

    Well done frogga! (better late than never :p)
    And well done on the steps marion! :D

    I've been away from posting since I've had my mum and dad staying, we've been eating out a lot, I've not been good at all (all you can eat chinese buffet last night!) and though I've been walking around with them I've felt like i've been doing less exercise so was expecting a gain today. However I've been stressed with various things over the past few days and had a few days of dodgy tummy IBS moments (trying not to be too graphic:o) that must have had an effect because I've actually lost a pound :eek:
    The good news was when my parents arrived they actually noticed i'd lost weight :D

    About to have a big naughty breakfast and then they're going so I'll be good for the rest of the day!

    Breakfast - Potato scone, grilled tomato, veggie sausages, scrambled egg
    Lunch - Greek salad, feta cheese, tomatoes and cucumber
    Dinner - HM Veggie shepherds pie made with black eyed beans, green lentils and green split peas
    Snacks - Banana mid morning and apple mid afternoon

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend and hope the surprise parties were fun! :p

    I havent been here for a looong time and my weight shows it! Since January I have lost and gained the same 4lbs!! I have tried slim fast (didnt work) went back to slimming world but its just not happening for me at the moment. I joined our local NHS Vitality Weight Management thingy last week which I am hoping will give me a better idea of what I am doing wrong etc. I know MrsM has lost huge amounts of weight without following a "diet" as such just healthy eating so I am going to give it a try.

    I hope everyone is okay and doing well/trying their best.
