He he, white sauce I can manage, soft boiled egg is that matrix of cooking for me. Omelettes a bit of a mystery too! I feel deprived now i didn't have eggs so might need a nibble!

Hi all,

Sometimes I guess I just need a little perspective on things to make me feel better about my weightloss journey.
This time last year I was shopping for ideas for a dress for my friends wedding in October and ended up crying in the changing rooms because nothing in the highstreet shops would fit me.
Fast forward 12 months and I am shopping for another dress for another wedding and I have managed to shoehorn myself into a size 12 in Coast. So although I may be peeved at not having lost any weight for some time, I have definately changed shape

We will all get there eventually, it just takes time, small steps and little reminders that its doing us good. Well done all, stick at it :T

B: Special K and skimmed milk (finishing the box before trying something else)

L: HM butternut squash soup

Not sure yet, OH is in charge

S: Medium skinny latte and maybe a slice of HM banana bread if I have a light dinner

Well said Floyd! :T there are no quick fixes to being overweight and as you say little steps are the way to go - they all add up in the long term!

Oooooooo you're both so sensible and boring! :rolleyes: I want quick weight loss NOW, quick results, by the morning, in me size 12's before you can say " God look at the stunning frog, I bet she's got a fab life I wish I was her", I want instant results and I want them yesterday...:wall:

Frogga - what are you like!:rolleyes::D listen to me and Floyd, all this yo yo dieting never works but if you stick to it long term it will come off and stay off! (I know you know all this really, you're just an impatient frog!)

It took me about a year to get mine off which was about 2 stone but a friend of mine lost over 5 stone in the same time at SW so it can be done. Whats a year in your whole life?;)

Hi i'm new here. I tried healthy eating a while back, lost a little and then was very ill with various things and never got back into it. So just over a week ago I started again and my partner is doing it with me. I lost 8lbs last week and my boyfriend 7lbs so a good start.

I have been looking through what everyone has eaten today and I seem to eat a lot more than most of you, now I'm a bit worried! Today I have had:
Shreddies with a sliced banana and semi skimmed milk.
Wholemeal Pitta bread with 2 falafel and salad.
Sausages, potatoes, beans, egg, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. ( All cooked healthily of course)
Highlights hot chocolate.
6 pints of water
I am 5'4'' and weighed 13 stone 7lb at the start. I walk between 4-8 miles a day doing the school and playschool run and do 30 minutes jogging on my wii fit in the evening - I do 2 nights jogging, 1 night off. I aim for between 1300-1600 calories a day.

Anyway I am determined to stick to it this time so thought I would say hi.
