    Morning all! Well yesterday was mixed. On the one hand I had too much bread and peanut butter. On the other hand I did stop eventually and there is actually half a loaf of bread and some peanut butter left. OH can have that, he was naughty for buying it anyway. :mad:

    Will try to drink lots of water and eat less today.

    B: 1 weetabix with milk and splenda

    L: hm spicy parsnip soup

    D: chickpea curry and rice

    Well I did the extreme diet Wednesday evening and lost 3lbs over night!!!
    Extreme diet = Dodge prawn sandwich for lunch and then sit on loo with a bowl in front of you for about 4 hours.

    Felt very weak yesterday and slept a lot, but think I'm on the mend now.

    I know the weight loss is not real but I haven't eaten very much since Wed so if I'm sensible my monthly weigh in on 26th should be pretty good , every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

    I would like to finish by saying I do NOT recommend this drop a dress size diet :eek:

    :eek:

    snap - I too spent last night like that(no prawn sandwich but a nasty bug) and have lost 3lbs since yesterday!:eek: I'm sure it will go back on before my Wednesday weigh in. I'm not feeling remotely like food today which makes a change:D

    mzl - hope you're better soon x

    Hope you all have a good weekend x

  • Morning all. STS this week, which is ok, not unhappy with that.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Taplady & mlz1413 - Errm I think I'd rather have the extra 3lbs rather than spending all day on the loo :p Hope you're both feeling better today. (Oh and my sweet chilli salmon was delicious tappy, will definitely feature on the menu more often :T)

    Well I've been feeling really pre-TOTM this week and it just keeps getting worse! I've been terribly snappy with OH and my already large appetite has gone through the roof :eek: I'm trying to 'feed' the hunger by drinking lots of water and nothing else, but I'm really hoping that TOTM actually comes soon so I can go back to normal :o My weekend eating routine is already usually bad - goodness knows what it'll be like this weekend if I'm still feeling moody and ravenous! :eek::p

    Today's plan:
    B: Porridge made with water, chopped up pear and honey on top
    L: Chickpea, cous cous and spinach salad and a small pot of easiyo yog
    Snack: Banana
    D: HM chicken fajitas (making my own soft tortillas using a recipe found on here - can't wait because I loooove mexican food!)
    Snack: Sugar-free jelly

    Exercise: 7K run at the gym, 150 sit ups

    Woohooo it's Friday everyone - hope you all have a lovely weekend :j:beer:
  • Taplady & mlz1413, hope you're feeling better today :)

    :wave: Taplady& mlz1413, hope your are both feeling much better.

    Congratulations to all those who have lost this week :T:T, though I am not one of them!

    I have put on 2 pounds (again!!) this past week...:mad:

    I was sort of expecting it, and it could have been soooo much worse! :o

    It's funny though, my head is in a much better place...I have not had chocolate for the past two days, and feeling pretty good! I am going back to a regular exerecise regime...have been lapse most of Feb, apart from walking.

    Today I am going to try and restrict my grazing...sometimes I realize I have been munching all day!!! I always have a bottle of water to hand...so must root out the chewing gum (sugar-free ofcourse!), which should help curb my calorie intake.

    Food for today:

    B: Porridge (50/50 water/soya milk),with sultanas + OJ
    S: Banana
    D: Beans on toast - warm and filling
    S: Tangerine - keeping that cold at bay!
    T: HM Fish & Chips - all cooked in the oven, & veg
    S: Fruit, or if I am cold - a slice of toast

    Have a great weekend everyone...I am going to try out Qigong tomorrow...wish me luck!:D

  • Taplady & mlz1413, not a good way to lose weight :( hope you're feeling better soon.

    Keiss 21, you have my sympathy on gaining as I have put on 1.25lbs this week. I'm not surprised as I have been over-doing it.


    Have a lovely weekend everyone :D
