Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 7. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Morning all and welcome to Molly and jollymummy. Congratulations too to Ida Notion and Newlywed on the loss this week. Jollymummy I am like you, I can go all day sticking to plan and then in the evening I need chaining to the sofa to stop me wandering into the kitchen! I find crackerbreads (only 20 cals) make a good snack, but whatever you spread on them then almost scrape it back off again!! I always have a bowl of sugar-free jelly made up in the fridge and find that handy if I have the urge for something sweet!

I am off on my travels again today (back Thursday) and this week I hope to eat more sensibly than last week whilst we were at the 'van. (Plus I hope my "neighbour" there isn't baking bread for us!!) And hopefully get some walking done when the forecast strong winds drop!

I am off now to pack our food rations and I WILL stick to my plan and not delve into DH's supplies!!

Today's menu:
B - Benefit flakes, small sliced banana and sk. milk
L - HM Tomato, lentil & basil soup with Nimble granary salad sandwich. Cadbury's Light Choc Mousse (I am getting addicted to them but as only 60 cals each they are not too sinful!)
D - Tuna steak (grilled) with big salad and HM wedges. SF jelly, mixed berries & FF yogurt
Any snacks to be grapes or satsumas or a bag of Aldi cheese curls (only 64 cals a bag)

See you all Thursday and keep strong willed! TA.

Hello everyone, well done and welcome newbies.

Sticking to the plan, but struggling in other ways. I think it is hard for others around a person when they start breaking bad eating habbits, and changing routines in an attempt to be healthier. I will persevere.

I am sorting out my food plan for when we go camping next week so I stay on track. Dairy is proving the most challenging as will only have a cool bag with ice blocks. Going to get some of those long life low fat rice puds, as well as what I can buy fresh and eat on the go.

Keep going everyone

Morning everyone, what an awful week last week, you all know about my poor dog, then I got a stomach bug and was so ill on Thursday night, I spent all night in the bathroom and was in so much pain. No futherther erruptions since but have not properly regained my appetite, I feel full the whole time. It has shown me something about eating, a lot we do is out of habbit, its meal time, we put food on our plates and we eat without thinking. Need to get in the moment more and pay attention to what I really need.

Turns out that the relatives I went to see at the local hotel have also been ill and DH was ill last night too. Most likely Norwalk or winter vomiting virus, which does not always strike in winter or only cause vomiting!

So this week my plan is to nurse my own battered stomach back to health, and get DH well again. I think I will make a mushroom risotto for tea with not too much butter or cheese in it, good and easy to digest. Will not be going to the gym as still feeling wobbly and as it is pouring down not a good day for a walk.

Good luck this week.

Morning all.

Lazy Liz - sorry to hear that you and your DH have been so unwell - I hope you both recover very quickly.

I'm still rather low on appetite, too, so my day is:

B - FF raspberry yoghurt
S - banana
L - HM bread with something - probably the blue brie that's going to walk out of the fridge if I don't eat it soon :eek: - and cherry tomatoes
D - veg satay stirfry with noodles

Exercise - a walk to the shops and back (about a mile in total) - as long as it doesn't pour with rain as it's threatening to do, anyway.

Hi everyone - I hope the week all goes well for you x

Lost another 2lb this week.

Yesterday:
B: 1 hm American pancake (I did aim for more but the birthday girl consumed eight before I even sat down...) and cup of tea with oat milk
All afternoon/into-evening party: 1 burger bun with a garlic mushroom burger + ketchup, a veggie sausage roll, hm coleslaw, about a dozen new potatoes, 3 mini samosas, a good few carrot sticks, a slice of birthday cake, 2 glasses of cola and a couple of cups of tea with oat milk.

Exercise: waiting on people, dancing, housework before and after :cool:

So far today:
B: 1 wheat biscuit with oat milk and 2 chopped dates. Black coffee.
L: Likely to be a salad with hummus and a couple of oven baked samosas. Water.
Tomatoey-pasta with a leftover veggie buger chopped up into it I think. Salad.

Exercise: will aim for a good hour of vigorous Wii tennis later. Otherwise, apart from housework, just chilling today as still knackered!

At some point during the afternoon, it is most likely I will have a slice of DD's birthday cake and cup of tea.

Hi all, well done to all losers.

Food plan for today is:

b: 2 wtbx and nana with rice milk - don't even miss the sugar at all now
s: pineapple or maybe melon
l: leftover pasta and pot salad with any other salady bits I can find buried in the fridge
s: more melon, pineapple and maybe a yoghurt
d: hm low fat oven chips and prawn omelet


Been through my wardrobe and now have two pairs of trousers that are most definitely too large and have a few more bits that don't look too bad so have rearranged the things I can wear and pushed the rest to the back.

Even a summer dress my sis gave me about a month back doesn't look nearly as bad as it did and is getting close to being presentable :rotfl:

Well done Newlywed and IdaNotion (and any others!) on your losses, everyone seems to be doing pretty well. LazyLIz, sorry you've been poorly (I'm at home with vomiting baby at the moment, there's a lot of it around!)

I reevaluated my eating last week and decided despite the flapjacks and brioche I couldn't have gained a whole pound so I weighed again Sunday morning (breaking my own rules) and I was a whole 2lb lighter than saturday morning so I'm guessing the extra was just TOTM bloating, so I am declaring 1lb LOST last week, not gained.

Should be starting week 4 of C25k today, but at home with poorly baby, will try to get out this evening but may not have the energy.

Breakfast - 2 rye crackers with marmite and low fat soft cheese
Lunch - Cheese and spring onion sandwich
Dinner - will be something like roast but with sausages/toad-in-the-hole. Lots of veg.

Well done Boodle and ragz on your weight loss. Hope baby gets better soon ragz.

I am scratching the long life rice pudding whilst camping, do not think it is low gi. Will just up my skimmed milk. Will snack on nuts and fruit also.

I am off to exercise

Well done Boodle and ragz! :T

A change of plan for me for lunch: the blue brie turned out to be past 'very ripe' and well into 'gone off' - what a waste of good cheese. I had a salami and tomato sandwich instead, and a sausage-y snack bar thingy as well as my stomach was growling, for the first time since Friday. :j I'm about to have a pear as well, to celebrate the return of my appetite in a rather healthier way.
