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

Afternoon All,

My excess water weight is draining away (literally as I keep having to visit the loo!). My rings and watch are much looser today again. I've had a very industrious day and done lots of decluttering and reorganizing of drawers etc. I've also got rid of a few more items of clothing and all my tatty or too big underwear. We went into the next town to us yesterday (ours is more a big village than town) and I visited a couple of charity shops. I got a Per Una brown denim fitted jacket and a pair of Next beige trousers- both size 8 and both which fit beautifully. I then got my sewing machine out last night and narrowed down the legs of the trousers as they were a bit wider than I wanted.

B: Poached egg on toast
S: Coffee and ginger nut biscuit.
L: HM vegetable bake consisting of left over roasted aubergine, butternut squash and pepper from Sunday with the addition of garlic, onions, mushrooms and green beans with Greek yoghurt stirred in, topped with cheese and baked in the oven.
S: Third of a HM scone (shared with DH) and coffee.
Cold left over chicken with vegetables and new potatoes. Iced raspberry smoothie.

Exercise: Changed my DVD this morning and did 3 ten minute routines with the stablity ball - upper body, lower body and core. 5 mile walk with dog walking friend. Couple of short trips to town and to drop some stuff off at DIL so maybe another mile and a half.

Keep up the good work everybody.

This happened to me yesterday too!

Im plodding on and have now lost 10llbs so just have 4 more to lose until Im back to what I was at the start of the year. I have to admit that I had a Millie cookie or two yesterday but then it was a busy and stressy day so much deserved:T:T:T

Hope you are all doing ok x

I have been SO good this past week, my dinner have been my downfall as we're clearing the freezer so not the best options in there.

Had a bowl of porridge for breakfast
Lunch is potato salad (no dressing) followed by fruit salad
Dinner is bacon and mushroom pasta bake

Morning all.

Molly - mmmm, Millie cookies! :drool: I don't have a shop anywhere near me so I haven't had one since I moved to Portsmouth (nearly 7 years ago :eek:) - I mentioned this to my sister last time I saw her and she's promised to bring me some next time she visits. (Hopefully after the diet's finished. )

My day today:

B - two slices granary toast with butter and ivy honey :drool:
S - apple
L - small WM roll with LF cream cheese; mixed salad
S - plums
D - roast butternut squash filled with lamb and lentil curry

Have a good day, all.

I need to join this thread I need to lose a stone I have watched it creep on sooo slowly but insidiously and it has GOT TO STOP!! Got some questions please
Is porridge with water and salt, no sugar, and green milk - ok ? for breakfast.
What about HM soup ? veg with lentils in ?
And if you drink a lot of tea - no sugar- does the milk pile on calories? green milk.
I am determined to LOSE THIS STONE lol so please help !

Welcome Mardatha :hello:

I used to eat porridge made with water and salt, but recently been told I need more calcium so add a little drop of milk these days. Re tea I drink it all day, kettle's never cold, ordinary with sk milk, and Earl or Lady Grey and green without, of course. Soup I'm not sure about but someone will be along to advise soon

B - 1/2 grapefruit, 1/4 bowl F&F
L - chicken sandwich (I'll be glad when the darned chicken is used up!) portion plum crumble with lf ice cream
D - Jacket with prawns & 1/2 lf mayo, 1/2 ff yogurt dressing, stick celery, 3 baby plum tomatoes
Snax - cinnamon muffin, grapes. pistachios, banana

Have a good rest of the day

Evening All.

Not an very good day foodwise but lots of walking to counteract it so hopefully not too much damage done. Went out for a meal with DH, DS, DDIL and DGD and various other treats followed.

B: Milky coffee
L: Egg and a few chips. Coke. Icecream
S: HM scone and butter
2 ryvitas with peanut butter. Tomatoes. Apple crumble and custard.

Exercise: Did a 10 minute routine with my stability ball DVD and then a few extra exercises on my own. Had a 6 mile walk this morning and then various short walks this afternoon and evening which added another 3.5 miles to the total.

Mardatha- Soup is supposed to be a really good choice as it fills you up - especially homemade vegetable soups. I eat loads in the winter using up all sorts of vegetables. I always start them off with an onion sauteed in butter and then add whatever takes my fancy - eg spinach, carrot, mushroom, leeks, courgettes, watercress (just one vegetable usually not mixed). I've even made lettuce soup when I've had a glut. I sometimes stir in a spoonful of cream for an extra taste of luxury too.

Madartha - i just spent 5 min s trying to work out what green milk was!!!

I make my porridge with water, then add a little splash of milk after it's ready.

i've been a little naughty this afternoon, but will do a small dinner portion to make up for it.

Morning all, and welcome to the thread mardatha!

My plan for today:

B - small portion of muesli with sliced banana and raspberry yoghurt
S - two plums
L - WM roll with LF cream cheese and lettuce; pack of roasted seeds
D - mixed veggies in cheese sauce with a WM roll

Have a good day, all.
