Inspired by Wezl’s amazing 50p-a-day healthy diet challenge achievement, and being constantly on a diet, set me wondering how cheap a healthy weight loss diet can be.

Old Style already has a thriving weightloss thread - already at volume 6 :j . I'll add this to that thread

Hey all,

Been away for a few days so not quite as saintly as I should be but I did do my best to make sensible choices when eating out and stuck with granary toast for breakfast instead of the bacon that was on offer.

B: Toast and muelsi with ss milk

L: Roast chicken and chips with salad

Nothing, might have a small sandwich later if I fancy.

Tomorrow will be tough because a friend is buying us a takeaway for helping him move house. Hope there is something I can have without feeling too awful

Hope everyone is doing OK

b - 1 small toast early then later 2 weetabix, banana skimmed milk

l - 2 yorkshires:eek: loads veggies, SW style roasters plus sweet spud & butternut squash, gravy, mint sauce(no meat)

D - spaghetti on toast with 28g cheese( weightwatchers brown danish bread)

me too shezza!! i was addicted to the tv last week (although i missed the last show!) I love the fact that he says you can eat what you want... but i am trying not to totally pig out as per normal coz i want to eat more healthily as well as lose weight. I think he really makes sense, even with all the tapping, although i haven't tapped much yet - have you?

Hi everyone. Plzhelpmesave I have not had to do any tapping yet, but most of my weaknesses tend to happen when I get stressed at work, and the chocolate vending machine starts calling, and I have not been to work yet since I watched the program.

I am still astounded by how much less I'm eating following the plan. I went to my mum and dads for lunch, and I had told my mum what I was doing before I had my lunch so she was aware of it, so she didn't mind when I left half of my lunch. During lunch my dad commented on how slowly I was eating, so I told him I was eating consciously, and to be honest he thought I'd gone mad, so I explained what the plan was all about, he was a bit sceptical, but mum told him to allow me to try.

My food today:

B. Nothing (woke up too late for breakfast)
L. Sunday lunch
D. Pizza (last of what was left from Friday) and grapes

Snack: Piece of birthday cake (at my friends daughter's 3rd birthday party) was very proud of myself as I had none of the buffet :T

Morning all!

Trying best not to feel demoralised and self-hating but it's difficult. I don't seem to be able to eat normally at all and am a greedy piggy. The stone and a half I lost last year got put back on over christmas and new year in an eating rampage, and I'm sure I gained again last week (too scared to look at the scales!). I don't know how to stay in theat weight-loss "headspace".

But hey ho, I shall endeavour to have a better week this week.

Breakfast: banana, muesli (2)

Lunch: quiche, salad (1)

Dinner: hm prawn and veg pad thai (1)

snacks melon and grapes

Lets see if I can stick to the plan for once heh.

Morning all.

Weighed today and am pleased to report a 1½ lb loss!

Food plan for today is:
b: oats with syrup and nana
l: HM Butternut squash soup and a wholemeal roll
d: smoked river cobbler and steamed veg

Snacks - go ahead biccies.

OH has started his healthy eating routine (including doing weights and going for a run all before 7 am) so that should cut down on the temptations as he will be telling me off rather than asking me to buy/make cakes and biccies

Plan is to go for a walk at lunch. Hopefully it won't be chucking down

Morning all,

Back on track this morning with an early brekkie and lots to do to take my mind off snacking.

B: Porridge, skimmed milk and water with a splash of honey

L: Spicy chickpea soup, yoghurt

Take away Can't get out of this one as a friend wants to buy it for us. Will avoid the side dishes, order a veggie option and boiled rice (not sure if its Chinese or Indian yet)

Will stay away from extra snacks today just in case tonight is horrendous

Hello everyone and welcome popsytops
I am trying to lose weight by sensible eating and exercise but finding it difficult. I am in the GC and trying to spend 50 a week for a family of 4 (me oh and 2 teens.) My OH needs to lose weight but the teens are as skinny as anything so I make sure there is extra for them. Very interested to see how you get on.

The walking went awol after Wednesday and I never got back on track, total for week ended at 25K so way under target, feell pretty shamefaced as I was doing so well the first 3 days. Starting over again this week so hoping to be much better. Back to yoga class tonight and I'm looking forward to it, only thing is, it starts at 7 and I cannot eat before, it is a 2 hour class so by the time Iget home it is gone 9 and too late for a proper meal. Will try and get home for 3 and eat before the family meal at 6 and before I'm out again at 4.
Have sts this week - again, but not surprising as I found a box of truffles that needed using up, no matter where I hid them they kept calling so I have silenced them once and for all. Glad I didn't gain, will have to be very good this week.
