Felt a bit off colour today so have not eaten much at all until tea. I have taken in plenty of fluids though. I have just eaten chicken cooked in my new griddle pan with steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Feeling a bit better now and the chicken was yummy. It's my weigh in tomorrow so will see how I've done hoping for 2lbs

Have a lovely evening

Evening All,

I'm still suffering with my cough but feel as if I'm getting better now. It hasn't affected my appetite though (Pity!). I've had DGD most of the day so been too busy to nibble which is always a good thing. I sent the leftover birthday cake I'd made for DDIL home with them so removing temptation.

B: Muesli
L: Poached egg on toast, apple.
HM spinach and mushroom lasagne. Small slice of birthday cake. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.

Exercise: Only about a mile of walking - just collecting DGD and a quick walk to the Co-Op.

B - vanilla Muller
L - remains of yesterdays korma and 1/2 keema naan
T - 2 nectarines, 1/4 pineapple
Snacks - 2 satsumas, 1 choc digestive

Visitors now gone and any leftovers portioned and frozen so I don't feel I have to use them all up in a few days

Exercise - very little, stripped visitors beds, planted 50 bulbs, did some weeding.

Night night

CCP

Morning all.

Yesterday was a bit of a write-off following an emergency vet appointment (for my pet cat, not me, obviously! ) so I'm determined to get back on the band-wagon today:

B - bowl of crunchy summer fruit cereal with SS milk
S - banana
L - hummus and pepper sandwich; apple
D - squash, chickpea and sausage casserole; probably a slice of bread to mop up the sauce as I never can resist it

Exercise - probably not much, unfortunately, as I've got to go home at lunchtime and won't have time for my usual walk.

Have a good day, all.

Morning all
Stuck to plan yesterday apart from having the last portion of angel delight from the fridge (99cals) for pud last night

Today's meals:
Breakfast: Fruit corner
Lunch: LO shepherds pie and red cabbage, satsumas, apple
Dinner: satay chicken skewers and noodle salad (from Jamie's 30 minute meals) but will cut out the cashews and only use about a quarter of the oil in the recipe, that man is obsessed with olive oil. Should be enough noodle salad for lunches tomorrow as well.

Exercise: Induction at the gym tonight, booked in for 90 minutes :eek:

CCP hope the little one is improving

B - Vanilla Muller light
L - 2 slices WW wm, scrape ICBINB Light, slice ham on the bone
D - Chichen soup from Sat's casserole, maybe slice of wm to dunk
Snacks - satsuma, melon, 2 plums, banana. eta - and a slice of Victoria sponge

Exercise - 1 hour pulm exercise, 2 hours rushing around like a b-a fly putting the house in reasonable order as have a visitor for tea

Hiya all

Is it too late to join the Christmas Challenge?

I have loads to lose, and would like to shift at least 28lbs before Christmas.

Thanks

Hi, welcome to the thread. You are more than welcome to join the challenge. 28lb is a lot to aim for in less than 10 weeks though. Healthy, sustainable weight loss should be 0.5 to 2lb a week (in the first week it's common to lose a little more) and some weeks you will lose less than you hope for, either due to hormones, illness, bingeing... or for no obvious reason!
Have a think about what a realistic target for you would be and then let us know so I can add you to the list.

Made more red onion soup today, it was too runny so I thickened it with a bit too much cornflour (OMG there's a lot of calories in that stuff!) and now it's more like a gravy! Have had a bowlful and it's ok but not as good as the last lot, I may use it as gravy with tonight's dinner and see how it goes. Very annoyed with myself though...

Weekend eating was rubbish, could have been a lot worse but it wasn't good. (Very stressed yesterday ended up at SIL's being fed comfort food and she's a big lady with no intention of losing weight so it was cakes, sausage rolls, yumyums and crisps!) I didn't eat enough either day to gain but I have certainly dented my chances at losing the full pound this week. Will have to make sure I DO NOT eat my exercise calories this week (the main reason I exercise!).

Swimming tonight, will aim for 75 but it's Women only night (they don't have Men only nights!) and there are always loads of silly bints swimming two/three abreast in the lanes while chatting and trying not to get their hair wet and they get in the way! I get pool rage...

Hi

I see a couple of known names *waves to CCP and Sparrer* Helloooo!

Is anyone doing low-carb on this thread? I have just re-started after losing 2 st since last February and putting back on 1/2 stone since summer.

My main challenge is that I am almost vegetarian. I eat small amounts of no-face fish such as tinned tuna, cod fillets, smoked salmon, but cannot stand eating fish that looks and tastes too fishy. So I am always ending up eating eggs and far too much cheese, which is not good for me as it really does not agree with my digestion, especially in large quantities!

It would be great if we could swap ideas here!

This is my day so far (first of low-carb re-start regime):

Breakfast: 1 fried egg with mushrooms

Lunch: roasted artichokes, courgettes and onions in oil, watercress, a few cubes of manchego cheese, olives with chilli (all from Waitrose counter - picnic with DH near his office).

Planned dinner: Mixed vegetables and tofu stir fry, yogurt with nuts

Exercise: 1 hour keep fit.

Have a good evening!
