Morning All

Just un-lurking to say thanks to ragz for the link to BMR. I've been stuck for a couple of weeks and now I know why!

Re-lurking;)

Ida Notion - I love the way you write, I laughed out loud at your spotty dressing gown quip.

Well done to everyone one else, even if you haven't lost none of you have remained on planet denial!

Welcome to the newbies too.

BELLA79 my breakfasts tend to be: 2 slices of toast with r/sugar jam, these I can take to work so meaning I don't snack before lunch. OR a single packet of cereal, I would buy the cheaper large boxes of cereal but then I have more than I should, but if you have the will power to measure the portion and stick to it then this is probably the cheapest and lowest calorie option.

If I'm feeling flush with money or the fruit is on offer I'll buy melon / mango / pineapple fruits and have them liquidised with some orange juice as a smoothie. 1/4 of each fruit with juice tends to do me 2 tall glasses of smoothie and I'm always surprised how full I am until lunch time.

Lunch times I have a sandwich or left overs. In the winter I'll have soup most days, HM soups are really cheap and low in calories.

For snacks rice cakes are a good thing to keep at work, if you buy the boring ones you'll only eat them when you are genuinely hungry Also an apple or orange for snacks are a good way to up the 5 a day.

I ended up lossing 4lbs in May so failed the challenge but did at least lose. Not doing a June challenge as on holiday at end of month and last week of june / first week of july will be changing job, but will aim to STS which is 10' 1'.

Today:
B: smoothie
L: HM parsnip soup (roasted parsnips on Monday and 'found' last night Oops!)
S; more soup :rotfl:
lamb, pots & veg

Afternoon all - I am late joining in today as I have been sat on the naughty step all morning!! I made a total pig of myself on my girls night out last night - a plateful of turkey, gammon, beef, Yorks puds, veg, mash and roasties, followed by an ice cream sundae and copious amounts of wine! I am ashamed to say I have been feeling "unwell" all morning - I KNOW I won't get any sympathy on self-inflicted unwellness!

Despite a hangover have stuck to plan (so far) today:
B - Benefit flakes, sliced banana & sk milk
L - HM Tomato & Basil soup and a Nimble sandwich
D - Chicken with salad, few new pots & peas.
S - fruit

(Defrosted the freezer this morning and left a large fruit pie defrosting for OH & DS - probably a mistake as when I see it steaming in a bowl smothered in custard a third portion will manifest itself before me!)

Just dropping in to add my food diary today as I promised myself to keep up.

Breakfast - Banana, 1 slice of toast with marmite and cheese.
Lunch - Cupasoup with 2 slices of wm bread and butter (real butter as I was at my Mum's)
Snack - Another banana
Dinner - Chicken in a low fat creamy, mustardy white sauce kind of thing that I sort of invented, with Rice (I thought I'd given myself a small portion until I'd eaten most of it, really need to get a grip on portions, maybe use a side plate!)
Popcorn (as I was trying to do a 'Film Night' with the kids)
Ermmm, 7 squares of galaxy and a whiskey coffee (because film night with the kids did not go well!)

l: couscous with roasted veg (using spray oil) and a slice of ham

sparrer

Todays plan went completely haywire at the beginning, breakfast was an eccles cake, courtesy of a friend who came for coffee.
Lunch - was as planned, jacket with ff yogurt and prawns. Melon
Tea - tomato sandwich, one slice of bread spread with lf spread, the other with lf mayo. Muller
Snax - banana, satsuma, plum.

Just enough in the fridge for a cooked breakfast then it's 'sea food' for a couple of weeks. Hope it's not ships biscuits and water!

Good luck everyone, hope to 'see' less of you when I get back

Morning all - have a wonderful cruise sparrer though I don't know how you are going to resist all that food!

I seem to have fallen in to bad ways since the May Challenge ended. Any willpower I had seems to have gone. I had my menu all planned yesterday and did well until tea-time when DS came for tea. In view of the lovely weather we decided we would have a bbq and eat outside so as well as the chicken I had planned for myself, my plate filled up with big fat sausages, pasta in creamy sauce and garlic bread. Followed by the bilberry pie I had defrosted, swimming in custard. Today I really must get back on an even keel or the 3.5 lbs I lost in May will go back on:

B - Porridge with mixed berries
L - HM soup & 5 crackerbreads topped with LF Laughing Cow & slivers of thin ham. FF Yogurt.
D - Tuna steak, salad, new pots & peas. SF jelly, strawberries & FF fromage frais.
S - grapes & satsumas. Maybe a bag of Cheese Curls.

I've fallen off the wagon again!! ARGH. I was so good at the start of the year, and the first stone was fairly easy, but i just can't get below 10.12 so i give up and as of this morning i'm 11.4!!! If i don't stop i'll be back at my start weight soon.

Someone kick me up the bum please!

morning all

had my offical end of may WI this morning and i am 2lb up on the beginning of the month :mad: i am disappointed as i have been good most of this week. eaten leads of fresh veg and swam 3 times.

hey ho, i was 11st 9 1/2lb this morning which is 10lb more than my goal weight (i am 5'10")

so the goal for june is 4 or 5 lb off and hopefully the 10 by the start of the school hols in july. i was 11.4 mid may so this is ridiculous.

i will continue the exercise and must keep the wine to weekends. thats the plan!!!!!!!!!!!

weigh in day will be a friday for me. i am serious this time :cool:

so todays plan looks like this: (not much of a plan so far)
2 x wm toast with cheese spread - no butter
lunch is out when i go to collect the kids - will have small portion
dinner will be ratatoulle with probably wm pasta

this weekend shouldnt be too bad as OH isnt around much

i will be swimming again on sunday (50 lengths)

hope your all well,
vix xx
