    Hi NW,
    try some of the sparkling favoured waters available, sainsbury's do 3 for £1 and calories are 4 per 100ml from memory.

    Also serving in a wine glass with dinner makes me feel a lot better!
    Thanks for the tip... I'll take a look but have a few issues with preservatives (which are often in those flavoured waters to keep them clear) :o

    I tried that lolo cheese and thought it was nicer than the be good to yourself stuff.


    Diet not really gone to plan.... I got my new book out "Dough" and made focaccia... then decided it was good so made one with sun dried tomato and lolo cheese (which kind of defeats the point since it's olive oil in it and on it anyway :o)

    Well I've been eating less cakes and biscuits coz I've been full on bread :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Back to work soon. Must try harder :o
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    weigh in went well and I lost a pound and a half:j cant go next week due to work so need to keep on track over the 2 weeks so I dont spoil my hard work.

    B - 1 slice toast , small bowl muesli(sugar and salt free) with muesi and soaked overnight.

    S - apple

    L - lentil and veggie soup, rvyvita crispbreads with a bit of cheese

    D - quorn curry and rice

    also have fruit and yoghurt for any snacks I might need. The christmas shortbread biscuits are gone now:j so thats a big source of temptation gone!

  • Excellent news taplady!! Well done :D

    Today:

    Breakfast - Cereal
    Lunch - Soup, yogurt
    Snack - HM Bran Muffin
    Dinner - Tuna Pasta (leftover from yesterday)
  • Congrats on the loss taplady!

    Yesterday was a good day for me food-wise (stuck to plan for once) but I pulled a muscle in my back during my dance class :mad: Very frustrating as I've had a niggling pain there for a while and it's quite uncomfortable. I'll take it easy on the exercise front for the next few days and hopefully it'll ease out a bit. Plan for today..

    B: Scrambled egg on one slice wholemeal toast
    L: Light cream cheese sandwhich on wholemeal bread, muller light yog (still waiting for lakeland to deliver my easiyo haul!), pear
    Snack: Another pear
    D: Chickpea and potato curry with one small homemade naan
    Snack: Hopefully nothing but handful of dried fruit if i must

    Exercise: Light workout at the gym for 1hr (depending on back pain)

    It's a horrible, miserable, rainy day here but here's hoping everyone has a nice day anyway :)

    Gosh this board is a bit clicky isn't it? I've been standing quietly in the corner for two days now after introducing myself and nobody has even said hello! (Note to self-check deodorant is still working!!) :rotfl:
    Hope everyone has a nice day and is successful on the willpower front. :T

    Sorry PJ! :doh:I'm usually pretty good with intros (as are the other folk) but I've just been dipping in for a quick update of status and not really reading so many apologies :)

    WELCOME ABOARD :hello::hello::hello::hello:

    Yesterday went a bit t**s up as I met a friend for tea before going to the footy. Gourmet Burger Kitchen does bad things to me, I lose all self control :mad: I had a falafel burger with chips and a chocolate milkshake :o On the plus side I only ate 3/4 of the burger and 1/2 the chips but still, a milkshake?????? What was I thinking, I NEVER have things like that normally :eek:
    Anyway, I had 1 and 1/2 pints of lager as well but heres hoping that standing in the freezing cold for 2 hours burned off a few cals heh heh

    B: 2 wholemeal toast and marmalade, no butter

    L: Forgot to make any, prob a shop sandwich at about 350 cals

    D: King prawn laksa made by OH and a raw courgette and carrot ribbon salad HM with peanut dressing

    S: Small skinny latte

    Have a fab week all x

    PJ1, welcome! I still consider myself a newbie around here too but it really is a lovely thread to be a part of . I've been posting my progress for just over a week or so and I'm finding it's really helping me keep on track (or just about!) I look forward to reading about your progress :)
