Afternoon all, and very well done to the losers. :T

My day today is:

Brunch - two rolls with butter; two hard-boiled eggs (my favourite treat at the moment, as you may have noticed ); banana
Snack - apple
Dinner - healthy moussaka (meat sauce bulked out with veg and lentils, aubergine grilled not fried, cottage cheese topping :A); small portion of mixed salad

It's pub quiz night tonight but I'll only have a couple of drinks (one good thing about going out when I have to go to work the next day is that I'm not usually tempted to drink much).

Exercise - probably not much. I was intending to walk the three miles or so into the city centre to go shopping, but it's such a damp, dark day that that doesn't really appeal. I need to clean the bathroom and might do a bit more gardening if the rain stops for long enough.

Hope everyone's doing OK today.

Hi all,

Well done to ll those who have had a great weekend...this s genuinally my downfall. Have had an awful weekend but am not beating myself up about it, just a little sad. My new jeans which fit beautifully last weekend are a bit snug but i'll recover it this week

Ok enough with the self pity! Hoping everyone as a great evening and a better week ahead

Hi All – just checking in as I haven’t been around for a few days.

Well done to last week’s losers :T... and to everyone who’s posted throughout the weekend (I need to do more of this to keep me on track)

It was my WI on Friday and I’ve put on 0.2kg.

I’ve found this weekend quite tough - I was completely deflated on Friday after my WI so had a pile of oven chips with my chicken and a couple of Bacardi’s to spite myself!!
Saturday - had family over for a BBQ, I kept to the chicken, with a small amount of pasta & potato salad and loads of green salad (no pudding) but did have yet more Bacardi and diet coke. Today we finished the leftovers from the BBQ so same as Saturday but I did weaken and have a burger (no bun), sausage and chicken drumstick…I love meat!!!
I’ve been picking on loads of fruit over the weekend (apples, pears & grapefruit) and have crunched my way through more carrots than the local riding school ponies!!

Horrid week ahead in terms of boosting weight loss…working away Wed-Fri….and I’m hormonal, not a great combination….LOL :doh:. I really need to see a decent weight loss this week to help reignite my motivation (even 1lb would be good) but I don’t think there will be any chance of that….oh dear I’m all full of doom and gloom.

Hey ho I can only do my best and see where I end up

I hope you all get the new week off to a fantastic start…take care x

Evening all, glad to see so many good results posted, both losses and people 'being good'!
May2013 try not to beat yourself up, 200g is the weight of a glass of water (or a wee!) so it may not be a gain at all, your BBQ choices could have been a lot worse and I'm sure you can manage this week if you put your mind to it!

Today - probably too much food given the fact I haven't exercised but I was doing a lot of housework, cooking and sorting out so didn't really sit down much.
Breakfast - 1 1/2 slices seedy toast with 2 thin rashers of back bacon (all fat removed) and beans.
Lunch - Very small serving of pasta and pesto (as Pesto is FULL of fat!) and a fat free yogurt.
Snack - Strawberries
Dinner - Roast lamb (small amount of lean meat), roast potatoes (done in frylight), carrot and swede mash, roast carrots, cauliflower cheese (scant on the cheese sauce) and cabbage (homegrown) with gravy (homemade but as much fat removed as possible. Tried to have small portions of everything but when I looked at the plate it was still very full!
Pudding - 1 1/2 meringue nest with 1/2 fat free yogurt and a handful of stawberries (eton mess style)
Snack - 5 pieces of galaxy, the end of the 125g bar I started a week ago which is amazing for me, I don't think one bar of chocolate has ever lived so long in my home...

Sneaked a look at the scales (wii fit as my digital ones keep going gaga on me) have gone down so looking good, weigh in will be Tuesday officially if I remember correctly must go back and check.

Thanks Ragz - I so wish I could have put this perspective on it Friday...I've been so grumpy about it all weekend

Sounds like you're on for being a loser this week....I look forward to seeing what the scales tell you on Tuesday

Couldn't sleep and had a fit of the midnight munchies here, so sat and ate a Krackerbread which I was dunking into a Hazelnut Chocolate Options drink. Tasted a bit like a poor man's Ferrero Rocher. No longer can it be said that I don't contribute recipes

Today the plan is

B - porridge with water/skim milk and a sprinkle of sugar
L - Crackers with light dairylea & tomato cuppa soup
D - Chicken chow mein or chicken breast, jacket potato and beans.
S - 100 cal chocolate bar/strawberries

Morning everybody and congratulations to the losers. I think it's hearing the success stories (and ragz pep talks!) that is helping me keep on the straight and narrow at last! Considering it's been the weekend I have been quite good and stuck to plan and no naughty snacking since Friday. Hope I can keep it up this time. Weigh day is Wednesday and I shall be disappointed if no loss this week! I wonder if I might be better not getting weighed at all, cos if I don't lose much (or gain!) then I just start pigging out! Maybe I will think about it. Meanwhile, today's menu will be:

B - LF toasted muffin with poached egg & some (warmed up) roasted cherry tomatoes.
L - HM soup & Nimble granary salad sandwich. Small sliced banana & lime SF jelly, topped with Cadbury's lite choc mousse.
D - HM Cauliflour Cheese scattered with well grilled crispy bacon bits. Mini meringue, mixed berries & FF yoghurt.

Have a good day all.

Woops - shows how good I am getting, I even forgot to add snacks!! It will be the usual grapes and satsumas! Or Aldi cheese curls if I get desperate (only 64 cals so not too bad)

Morning all.

My day today:

B - 30g oats made into porridge with stewed rhubarb (porridge made with water as I'm out of milk. I'm not doing that again - I'd forgotten how much I dislike porridge made with water. )
S - banana
L - small portion of LO healthy moussaka (which is actually very tasty, I'm pleased to say ); 7 mini seedy crispbreads
S - apple
D - tomato and onion pasta bake with a small quantity of cheese on top; mixed salad with a drizzle of dressing

Have a good day, all.
