Putting my honesty hat on - my house is wall to wall chocolate, I am never going to resist it all no matter how hard I try, and I'm not trying too hard...... but this thread is so good that I reckon I'll lose weight simply by being a follower

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

...honesty is the best policy sams247...and you are a braver person than me!.Oh alright then...over easter I had various cheeses, cheese-cake, chocolate, toffee (accidently put two bits stuck together in my mouth one time, and couldn't speak for a bit), garlic bread...I won't go on :embarasse

Today I am back in the ring!

B: shredded wheat
L: falafel wrap, side salad (pub lunch)
will be left over beef added to a bean and veg sauce, with rice.

Lovely to read everyones posts, will weigh in thursday

Morning all! Well yesterday I spent all day trying for the World Chocolate Eating Championship by eating the giant Galaxy Egg and all the choc bars and packs of choccy sweets that came with it! That has now gone and the remaining Hot Cross Buns were toasted for supper. So today, now temptation is out of the way, I am back on slimming wagon! I shall brave the scales when I go up for a shower and fully expect to have put back on the 2lb I lost last week - and more besides!! I shall report back tomorrow!

I had a sneaky step on the scales this morning and found that I put 1/2 kg back on over the weekend. I know it's not much, and it's not at all surprising given the amount of quiche I ate , but it's rather disappointing when things looked like they were starting to move in the right direction. Today is meant to be super-healthy, in the hope it will improve matters:

B - shreddies with sliced banana and ss milk
S - apple
L - wholemeal roll filled with boiled egg, lettuce and a drizzle of salad cream; radishes; bunch of grapes
S - glass of orange juice
D - half an avocado drizzled with balsamic vingegar; tuna and tomato sauce with a small quantity of pasta and some steamed PSB; last half-glass of wine LO from the weekend

ETA - I had a nurse appointment this afternoon and I'd forgotten how much I love their scales - they show me a whole 2kg lighter than my own scales. They wouldn't let me take the nice scales home with me, though.

Hi all,

Been away for a few days but managed not to overdo it despite our hotel being next to a beautiful Belgian patisserie and chocolatier. The only time I ate rubbish was during the mammoth trek back on numerous trains where we were essentially eating from buffet cars so rubbish sandwiches and bags of crisps were the food for the day!

Since I have been back, I've got a stinking cold so I haven't been quite as disciplined as I usually would be as I am miserable and have a really sore throat.

Yesterday was OK but not brilliant,

B: 2 wholemeal toast with mankuna honey

L: Cream cheese and salad on wholemeal bread and a bag of McCoys

Jacket potato with tuna mayo and salad

S: HM apple pie and ice cream, purely for medicinal purposes

Hoping today will be marginally better

B/L: Feta cheese toastie (wholemeal bread) with pesto, black olives and tomatoes

HM lasagne and salad

S: Small piece of apple pie

Warning! Do not go shopping the day after Easter monday... all of the chocolates were reduced and since we had been good and hadn't touched chocolate for weeks I was tempted by a reduced bag of rum truffles. Don't know how, but there is now only an empty bag left:o:o:o Dread to think how many calories were in that lot!
Never mind, I feel more resolved today, think that I have a masochistic streak!:o
Started with bran flakes this morning and promised myself that I'll be really, really good.:)

Hi everyone I am trying hard to be good too but I just can't seem to shift this weight. I have a feeling this is just me now and breastfeeding was the reason I was at almost pre-pregnancy (as in before both girls.)

Yesterday I had:
b: small bowl of cornflakes and oat milk. cup of tea with oat milk.
L: 2 small thin slices HM bread, 1 tbsp peanut butter and scraping of spread. Carrot sticks.
Snack: 1 small hm jam tart. tea with oat milk.
Small portion of pasta with chick peas and greens - I added the spread to my bowl separately and only added about 1/2 a tsp.

Did about 1.5 hours on Wii tennis.

CCP, don't let the lovely quiche haunt you anymore - it is gone but not forgotten, may it rest in peace.

Hope you feel better soon Floyd.

Today:
B: shredded wheat, milk, a chopped dried apricot
S: half tin of peaches, drained
L: tinned mackerel sandwhich (aldis tin mackerel in sunfl oil is the lowest salt Ihave found)
S: 2 brazil nuts
ham and tomato sauce with pasta.

Exercise:
Half hour on wii fit (did some yesterday too)

Will try to list exercise from now on as it has been a weak area.

(stands up) My Name is Sams and I have eaten chocolate.......... (sits down)

But it could have been worse, I only finished off a small bar of Hotel Chocolat chocolate instead of eating the whole huge egg that I truly truly wanted.

Bfast - shreddies
Lunch - chicken salad
Tea - Fish with veggies
snack - hotel choc and very nice it was too
