Morning All

Well done, comisserations, keep it up (delete as appropriate)

Today

Br - flakes of corn which may or may not have been crunchy (they were), milk. slice of toast
Lu - mystery lunchtime sized package from freezer. Think it's leftover HM pasta bake from last week, hope it's not chicken stock like last time I fetched in mystery lunchtime sized package.
Sn - kiwis
D - egg, bacon, toms, mushrooms, O.J.
Sn - yog

Walking - done 15 mins this morning, likely doing half hour lunchtime and further 15 mins after work

Wednesday plan
Br - toast & honey, cuppa tea
Lu - ham salad sarnie, yog
Sn - far-too-sugary cereal bar (will be glad when all gone)
D - chicken & chorizo pasta bake (sadly not HM, was in a meal deal), garlic bread, salad

Walking - 15 mins before and 15 mins after work. Also lunchtime Zumba

Hi
Would love to lose 1lb in May, anything but put on. 1lb a week should be do-able but in over 5 years I've never managed it.

Half a stone in a month is quite a big target, you're welcome to join in and declare a smaller goal (even a lb off is a lb less!). What is it, do you think, that makes it ahrd for you? Perhaps we can help?

I'm going to need to seriously up my exercise level if I'm going to lose half a stone by June...

I have been dispensing weight loss advice to people on my husband's Airgun Forum, then read it and realised how much of my own advice I don't follow. I was lecturing on breakfasts today, then realised I tend to give the whole family the same boring thing every day... think I should start meal planning breakfasts too rather than just evening meals...

Afternoon all.

I had a nasty shock this morning: I always weigh myself in kilograms (simply because that's all my cheapy scales can cope with ), so I did a quick conversion in order to post my target for the May challenge and found I currently weigh over 14 stone! :eek::eek::eek:

Anyway, I now know that half a stone is just over 3kg; as I was 90.5kg last Saturday I'm aiming for 3.5kg off this month, to bring me down to 87kg. It's quite a big target but I think it's do-able (I've lost about 3kg since joining this thread two and a bit weeks ago) - I've just got to stick with it.

Very good luck to everyone who's 'challenging' - we'll get there together! (procrastinator - I find that just being on this thread is a great help in keeping me on track - I think because I have to post what I'm eating it makes me think about it more and not just eat something because it's there. Maybe that will be of help to you, too?)

Today's plan:
B - LF cherry yoghurt with a sprinkling of oats and about two thirds of a banana (the other third was so badly bruised it ended up in the bin )
S - portion of mixed dried fruit
L - mixed salad with three slices / rashers of Black Forest ham (no dressing as BF ham is quite fatty anyway, but very :drool:); HM olive roll; 2 kiwi fruit
D - halloumi and veg kebabs with two mini wholemeal pitta bread; a pear if I'm still hungry afterwards

Exercise - 40 minutes' brisk walk (and it needed to be brisk - it's not very warm out there today!). I also did about 5 miles yesterday but, once again, forgot to post it.

hi there.
i have been lurking for a while but i really think the only way to really lose is for me to set myself a challenge and post regularly.
sooooo. i would like to lose 7 in may! i was 11st 6 1/2lb yesterday so that will take me to under 11 which is pretty much my target. iam following the no s diet (really not a diet at all)
so today should be

b,2 x wm toast (as usual) satsuma

l,cous cous with roasted veg and halloumi cheese, apple

d,wm pasta with hm roasted veg, tom sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.

i will [STRIKE]try[/STRIKE] to do 10 minutes on my vibration plate.

I am attempting the No S diet also, finding it really hard though, I eat breakfast at 7, lunch isn't untill 1245, my belly is rumbling by about 1030 Maybe I should eat more for breakfast. Same with after lunch, finish eating at 1, don't have dinner till about 7pm, think I will just have to limit my snacks, and not eat after my evening meal!!

Good luck, looking forward to hearing everyones success stories! x

It was shepherd's hotpot (when I made it I couldn't decide shepherd's pie or hotpot, so did hotpot top and shepherd's pie bottom) with carrots. very nice.

i am finding the same, i love the idea of the 'diet' as its just common sense to me but i am also starving by 4 or 5 pm. i think i will plan to eat somthing small at this time on the days i wont be having dinner until 7 or 8. to me its about discipline and sticking to a plan. i will see how it goes. it will stop me just sticking low cal snacks in my mouth and thinking 'its nothing, it cant hurt' as for me, they're the ones that add up.
good luck xx

...

I've been giving this some thought, I don't exercise enough, I give in to temptation, I try so hard and then lose heart.
So this time it has to be different but I don't want to jinx it by giving a number so any loss will do.
Dinner tonight, I'm cooking lentils and brown rice. Trying to make some kind of dahl. will have with onions and corgettes and kidney beans.

Had kidney bean salad with cous cous for lunch and put some in fridge for tomorrows lunch. Snack at work.2 apples. Also had 2 kiwi fruit and nat yog after bfast.
At least I've had my 5 a day today.

Good luck with everyones challenges. One pound a week is hard enough for me but setting a goal is a great motivator. Drew up my food plan for the week, feel back in control now.

Today:
B: porridge, dried apircot chooped in.
S: nat yog, some tinned peaches
L: egg and tomato sandwhich, side salad, yog dressing
S: banana
Chicken, mash, veg, gravy

Hi all, I'd love to try for 7 lbs but since January seem to have lost and put back on the same 4 lbs.

Oh well count me in - even though I'd be happy with a 2lb loss as long as it takes me below the sticking point.

Food today wasn't too bad

b: shredded wheat raisins and oat milk
s: erm well a flapjack from the shop - but not till 12 - and it's usually about 9:30 I start eating one
l: turkey bolognaise and pasta - leftovers so not a generous helping
d: a somewhat large prawn, peppers and spring onion omelet and potato salad (made with extra low fat mayo, cider vinegar and cumin).

erm and there may have been a few marshmallows after tea.


Oooh a day with no dairy - I need more of those as it aggravates my eczema and there has been rather too many icecreams and sprinkling of cheese on food.

Just need to get through tomorrow with no flapjack type snacks!
