b - nutrigrain bar
l - tuna sandwich, aplen bar

I love pretty much all fish, although I don't like trout much and am allergic to tuna. I love crab too, but have gone off prawns big time after hearing them described as 'maggots of the sea, which cling to dead bodies'. Yeuch. I've never been able to put a mussell or a whelk in my mouth, but can just about eat cockles - under protest - by swallowing them without chewing them. My mum loves all that kind of thing, as well as pig's feet, chitterlings etc - the more revolting it looks to me, the more likely she is to be tucking in with the rapt expression of a lone vulture that's just found an elephant carcass all to himself.

Food today...

Breakfast: none
Lunch: (wholemeal bread) sandwich of wafer thin ham, home grown lettuce and chilli mayonnaise. I saw chilli mayonnaise in Asda the other day for £1.70 a pop, which sounded extortionate but appealing and so I mixed up a little bit of my own this morning using a tablespoon of Smart Price mayo and a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce. Very nice it was too, and almost a recipe
Snack: Asda banana corner yoghurt thingy, which included chocolate covered flakes in the corner. Muller do similar stuff which I don't really like and I only ate this because I thought I was hungry. I think a brain vacancy may have been at play there rather than a stomach vacancy
Tea: Cooked by my husband as usual, this was turkey breast and gravy, mashed potato, green beans and another green vegetable which I couldn't really identify.

Exercise today...

A walk to the school and back, twice.
An hour or so spent assisting husband to cut back a thorny hedge down one side of the garden.
There ought to be more, but the return of the sun to these parts today seems to have brought out bone-idle-itis. I'll make up for it later by running. Running a bath...

Oh, and I almost forgot. I read something online today about a woman who lost a fair bit of weight by following principles much like the ones we (try to!) follow here. The title was something like 'Weight Loss Secrets', which was kind of misleading because her only guidelines were 'Eat less, move more and don't lie to yourself', but I thought it made encouraging reading.

Well I've made it into the 9st bracket :j 9s 13.9 lbs :rotfl:
meaning a loss of 0.03lbs this week

I could really do with some of those scales that can tell you if you've lost a bit of a pound! Tomorrow is my official weigh-in day but have been weighing myself daily using the wii fit and have been quite perturbed that I only seem to have lost 1lb this week after last week's brilliant start.
Also, DH has not been exercising at all and keeps having late night snacks and he lost 2 lbs in the past few days! I am pleased for him, but...:p

Well done to all the losers though :T

Morning all - back from my few days at the caravan. I will read over everything posted in my absence when time permits. I just wanted to post my confession before I plan today's menu!! I took lots of diet-friendly foods with me so as not to be tempted and then what happens! On Wednesday DH suggested we have lunch out - OK I thought I will stick to a salad! Ha ha I fell at the first hurdle! Before I knew it I had a bowl of lasagne and a plate of cheesy garlic bread in front of me! Never mind, I thought, I will pass on tea and just have a bowl of LF soup. We had just nicely got back when our caravan neighbour shouted us "I have just been baking bread and thought you might like a loaf warm from the oven" Well who can resist the smell of warm bread!! Not I - so my light tea ended up as chunks of warm bread spread liberally with butter and my HM Bramble Jam!!! The loaf had gone in minutes!!

Came home yesterday (had two DGD's to look after) full of remorse and vowing never to pig out again! So, once again, I am back on the road to slimness! Congrats to the losers who have more willpower than me!!

Morning all.

I did this week's weigh-in this morning, a day early as I'm starting a new voluntary job tomorrow and I didn't want to begin my first day fretting about my weight. Good thing, too - I haven't lost anything this week. Apart from a couple of slip-ups with portion size I thought I'd done OK this week, but apparently OK isn't good enough - back to the drawing board, I think.

juliethemuse - I'm not a great fan of most veg either. What I find helps is to have them as part of a meal, rather than just on the side (chicken and veg curry, for example, rather than grilled chicken with a pile of steamed veggies - they seem far more appealing like that, somehow).

Today is intended to be very light, particularly after last night's meal out (pork in a cider sauce that turned out to be mostly cream - tasty, but not exactly low cal! ).

B - stewed blackberries with a tbsp or so of granola cereal
S - bunch of grapes
L - large green salad with tinned salmon (no dressing); small pack of rice crackers
S - another piece of fruit, which I must buy (I seem to have been saying that all week - I really must get organised )
D - steak burger and mushroom lasagne (I couldn't separate the last two burgers on Wednesday so had to defrost both ); it will be lots of mushroom and tomato sauce and not much meat - I hope to get two portions of lasagne out of one burger

Have a good day, all.

Good Morning everyone - hoping to join in this lovely group

I am looking for insperation (sp) into losing about 1.5 stones, and need something to keep me motivated, and reading this thread it sounds like i am in the right place.

Do you all set meal plans, for the day/week. Do you have a set day when you all weigh yourselves or do you weigh each day...

Any help or advise would be great, i am look for a healthy eating ( but trying to be old style) as i have not got too much money. and i know fruit and veg can be very expensive.

Good luck in your journey
