Welcome to all the new people, and congrats to the rest for your continued weight loss, or if you haven't for continued trying. Its easy to carry on when the weight is falling off, but not so good when you feel like you are tryiong hard and yet no reward.
Just a pound for me this week, but better one off than one on.

I've had a stomach bug since Friday so it's done wonders for my diet. :cool: I can't wait until Thursday to weigh now.

Hi everyone:)

Day 2 and everything is going well so far. Today I'm having

B: toasted fruit teacake (no butter) and a small bowl of fruit salad
L: 1/2 small pizza (345kCal apparently) and a yoghurt
homemade chicken fajitas and salad, piece of homemade chocolate brownie

I looked at the packet of tortillas and couldn't believe how calorific they are, 189 each! and we usually have 4 each (oink oink)
Exercise wise last night I spent ages hula hooping in front of the TV (with a real hula hoop, not the fake wii hula hooping). DS walked in and had a good laugh Then I did some ab crunches.
Today so far, I've walked 2 miles and done lots of exercises to tone up my arms.

Feeling good and not missing those snacks yet!

this made me laugh, love it!

Didn't do that well yesterday - added 3 cracker and some soft cheese, another bag of hula hoops and more alcohol than planned. Maybe I need to get a real hula hoop too!!

Today:
B: 2 toast with l/f spread and topping - 400 cals
L: ham salad sandwich (forgot my left overs from last nights meal!)
S: light yogurt
S: cup of hot choc from machine
S: have a banana which I will save for after 5pm as dinner will be late
prawn stir fry

ETA: I didn't get home to eat until 10.30pm so I had the lamb shank that had been in slow cooker for OH, served with peas.

Hi everyone,

Day 3 and I'm feeling great, no hunger pangs or desire for snacks or sweets

Today I'm having-
B: 2 slices wholemeal toast with thin scraping of marmite (no butter) and 2 scrambled eggs
L: Homemade tomato and mushroom soup, flour tortilla with grated cheese rolled up for dunking in my soup yum yum!
Homemade shepherds pie with lots of veg.
Alcohol: tonight is Wednesday wine night .... so 2 (small) glasses of red vino

need to do some exercise now......desk exercises anyone?

Can recommend the real hula hoop, I'm much better at it than the kids lol! Not sure how good it is at toning up the old waistline but it's good old fashioned fun.

Hello, nice to be back, was worried I might scarper after posting last thurs...the pressure!

Ok, weighed in today 11st 2.5lb, loss of 1.5lb so happy. Will aim for 11st 2 next thurs, as not fast tracking my goal date/weight if I go over a pound a week, as bound to slow up some weeks. Hope that makes sense :undecided

I cannot manage without snacks so here are my favourites so far;

-carrot sticks and reduced fat houmous
-drained tin peaches/pears with nat yog + toasted flaked almonds
-one ryvita original with light olive spread
-one portion low fat cottage cheese
...and there it ends so far. Will need to come up with more variety to keep the interest going. Have discovered bulgar wheat this week, fab, like cous cous but lower gi.

Good luck all

Well there was one advantage to being ill all weekend, i've lost 7lbs. :j
