Didn't have very much at all yesterday as was too busy:

Breakfast:
Cereal
Wholemeal toast with nutella
Fruit salad

Lunch:
Ham and lettuce roll

Snacks:
A few chips with a teensy bit of mushy peas and tartar sauce

Dinner:
Nothing

Ate all the stuff I packed yesterday (bar the Nutrigrain bar) and cereal for breakfast today. Over-stuffed and made myself feel sick, lol:P

All good, 118/80 and that was after a very salty weekend (lots of cheese, crisps and white bread ) so I'm pleased with that

Today will be tough because we are eating at a friends place and I think it will be buffet food so temptation everywhere

B/L: Not sure yet as we don't have much in, probably some sort of ciabatta roll with salad

Buffet food so whatever seems the healthiest, could be cold meats and salad or fruit and some rice

S: Nothing

Have a fab weekend all, the biking has been delayed until tomorrow as OH has been on nights and is in no mood to go

hello folks, can I join in too? Think Ive had too many hobnobs lately and got a shock when I visited back home last week, felt like I'd piled on the pounds compared to the rest of the family. Anyway Ive been stict since coming back, only yesterday,:rotfl: so I had porridge for breakfast, poached egg for lunch and we had fish for tea.
So far today Ive had a bowl of porridge and got on the scales 9st 12 which is a lot for me as Im only 4ft 11, so Im hoping to rid at least 1 stone.
With you folks to spur me on, hope I'll reach my goal, will weigh in again next Saturday!:T

Hi Everyone Welcome newbies
Funny old weekend have big do tomorrow with friend who is terminally ill, sad but glad he is still here to make it happen. Not going to watch weight as doesn't seem appropriate, will be back onto it next week. Meantime hope to up the exercise. Remember to live life to the full no matter what size you are.

Hello everyone, thanks for your kind messages welcoming me!

It's nice to be part of this thread as we all have the same goal and I totally agree the best way to weight loss is healthy diet and exercise - no fads for me!!

Tonight's dinner is HM mung dhal and basmati rice YUMMO! I do love meat, but we are having a veggie night.

The secret is not to scoff too much rice, but that's always been my problem - I've always loved stuffing the carbs back like they're going out of fashion, ha ha! :rotfl:

Portion control will be my biggest challenge. That and getting off my big backside and doing more exercise.

So ready for my Monday start proper, I have an appointment in the bathroom for my "official" weigh in, first thing tomorrow morning, (in the nuddie after a wee!) I am DREADING it! Hope I don't faint with shock.

Going to log it down and track my progress weekly. I will try to resist weighing myself more than once a week, as that's naughty and can be demotivating.

Anyway, thanks again for your warm welcome and I look forward to joining you all in your weight loss successes..... time will tell!

Cazza - I'm a huge lurker on this thread cos I can never bring myself to post. However I too have 6 st to lose so you have prompted me to do it at last.

I will join you in the great nuddie weigh in tommorrow morning (I have to get up at 6.30) so you will not be on your own. I have been quite good today but not exactly dieting but I will launch off on Monday.

Off to hunt out a suitable wesite for calories etc.....

Welcome turfy6 and JayJay14. Today hasn't been to good food wise and scale wise. Today I had:

B. Muesli and semi-skimmed milk
L. Ainsley Harriott's pea soup and 2 slices of bread and butter.
S. Apricots, grapes and an iced finger.
D. An eighth of a slice of beef pie, baked sweet potato chips, 1.5 corn on the cobs and carrots. Oh and one mini Quorn Cornish pasty with no filling (what a waste of calories).
S. Orange.

Exercise: Walked 2.5 miles, 33 minutes on the exercise bike, 35 minutes on the treadmill, weights, abdominal exercises and one hour on the stepper.
Stepped on scales at 9.30pm and I weighed 13st 9lbs - absolutely gutted. Had a wee and weighed again at 10pm 13st. 8lbs. So I'm sticking to 13st. 8lbs - a one pound loss. Target this week is to weigh out my muesli and eat my main meal blindfolded so I can retune into my stomach.

JayJay14

Well a quick post before I go out to see it Aldi has any super 6 left.

Weighed in at 18st 4lb. I'm not going to put this on my sig but with your help I hope to record a loss with some regularity. I have 88lb to lose altogether but my first target is as much as poss before 29th October when OH and I are going on a cruise.

My bigest problem is that I really do not like salad - couln't eat a tomato or cuc to save my life. I also find it difficult not to munch for England while I am at work. I sit at a desk all day with a computer so I tend to have a drawer full of stuff. I always take 2-3 portions of fruit with me but I have never found fruit filling at all (much rather have mini cheddars!!)

I'm hoping that by posting I keep myself in lne.

Thanks for the welcome folks, yesterday was a good day, had porridge for breky quite late then a slice of toast for lunch but then had hm pizza for tea with garlic bread, not very good but was absolutely starving!!
Better today porridge and 1 hobnob (naughty) and then just had my pork roast dinner which was delish. Nothing now until tomorrow except a couple of glasses of water. Hope everyone is surviving the weekend, I think its harder than the rest of the week as you seem to be more organised, well at least I do;)
