    Hi all,

    Well I had a really good week but fell off the wagon last night because I was fed up stuck in work late when everyone else was home enjoying the sunshine :(

    Today I'm back on course after doing 4 hours really heavy-duty gardening, then dragged OH out for a brisk 45 minute walk along the prom in the sunshine.

    B: 2 wholemeal toast with light cream cheese (no butter)

    L: Mozzarella, black olives, vine toms and green pesto in toasted wholemeal sandwich

    D: Vegetable curry with basmati rice and 2 poppadoms

    Hoping this might help kick start a loss as its been a bit stagnant so far

    hi all, been fairly good the last few days. Lots of walking, gardening, hanging out of washing.

    No loss for me either and I can't walk today after the gardening yesterday so I didn't get out on my bike as I had planned :(

    B/L: 2 wholemeal toast with light cream cheese

    D: HM veggie lasagne with large side salad, corn on the cob and a few small pieces of garlic bread

    I'm really hoping that something starts to shift soon, its soul destroying when you deny yourself nice things and don't see the benefit

    Hi there peeps. Can I join you? Have to lose 3 stone asap. But really need to get started for a big formal dinner 10th May. 1 month. Agghhhh. Managed 2 stone to get married but it and more has crept back on. Was hoping to wear wedding dress for the dinner, but realise that is not going to happen. However, I refuse to turn up feeling like a blimp. Starting tomorrow - bf planned - yog and raspberries.

    MOrning All, congrats, comisserations, welcome etc. :)

    Can't remember if I mentioned I've decided to try doing the Couch to 5K 9 week walk/run/jog plan. Well, I started it on Friday! Did 2nd session yesterday. Amazingly enough am not too achey, so I think the last few weeks walking club have helped. Got next session tomorrow, haven't decided whether to go as soon as I get up or after work. I think as soon as I get up will be better, but we shall see.

    Today, I will be mostly eating .....

    Br - a certain nut encrusted cornflake of the crunchy variety (don't normally get Mr K's these days but they were on offer), milk
    Sn - apple
    Lu - Jacket P with garlic & herb l/f cheese spread
    Sn - Plum
    D - egg, bacon, toms, mushrooms and perhaps a sausage

    Walking - did 20 mins this morning, doing 20 mins after work, might pop out lunctime as well

    Tuesday
    Br - boiled egg & solidiers, cuppa tea
    Sn - banana
    Lu - tuna salad sarnie, l/f yog
    Sn - plum
    D - Chicken, spuds, carrots, psb, gravy mmmmmmmmmm

    Walking - half hour lunchtime walking club (BRISK, I tell you BRISK!).
    C25K session - a.m. or p.m.? haven't decided yet - watch this space.........

    Morning all, I haven't posted my eating for a while as it has been awful and I haven't kept a track of what I've had. BUT the last 3 weekends of hard work are over and now I should be able to STOP SNACKING!!!

    Did a online shop this weekend so I have fruit and l/f yogurts in the house so my work days should be ok.....

    So good to see everyone else struggling, and I really didn't mean that the way it could be taken!! more its good to not be alone.

    I've had far to much wine lately so now the house is full of flavoured waters, squash and herbal tea bags, so with the nice weather I should be able to stop the alcohol.

    Today:
    B; last of shreddies with s/s milk
    S: kiwi fruit
    L: last of carrot & c HM soup with crust of bread, l/f yogurt
    S: clemetine
    S: crisps (to eat before I get in the house to stop me raiding the cheese and spicy sausage!)
    D: pork stirfry

    Plan for Tue - Fri
    B: single pack of cereal or 2 toast with r/sugar jam
    S: apple or clemetine
    L: sandwich with l/f yogurt
    S: necterine
    S: crisps
    D: proper meal of 600 - 700 calories

    It was a good weekend, salads (with bbq chicken....) and fruit (frozen in ice cream) and walks. Sunshine diets...followed by sitting in a NT garden reading a book - lovely

    Today:

    Bfast - one slice of toast and marmalade eaten in car (ok ok I forgot the alarm)
    Lunch - cheese salad with baby beets
    Tea - veggie casserole (clearing out the fridge and seemed a good cheap meal)
    Snack - mandarins in jelly
      To those who are given much, much is expected
