Wow, i'm away for 4 days and so many new faces! Welcome to all newbies :T

My name is gaga and i'm a food-a- holic. Obviously not a good weekend, went down to see my mum who is not coping well after losing dad a few months ago. So went all comfort-food to make her feel needed and appreciated and then had to eat what she made! Currently showing +1lb but hope to lose that by friday's xmas challenge declaring day!

Kiddies are not well either so bit of an erm, challenging week ahead!

Have a good week everyone!

Evening All,

Welcome to all the new faces and well done all those whose scales are giving them good news. I have decided to try eating our main meal at lunchtime this week to see if it makes any difference to how much I eat overall.

B: Toast and marmalade.
S: Apple
L: Chicken thigh, peas, carrots, new potatoes. Apple crumble and custard
Prawn salad wrap. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.

Exercise: 1 1/2 hours exercise class - weights, circuits and abs using the stability ball. About 2 miles of walking with going to class plus a trip to the PO for DH this afternoon. Otherwise I've sat on the settee knitting for most of the day.

Went to step class tonight, all I can say is ouch! What a workout, my legs are already killing and still feel like my pulse is up 2.5 hours later. According to the class blurb 1 class burns up to 560 cals. 1 addition to planned meals, chocolate angel delight for pud (108 cals)

Hi everyone .

I am really struggling, but thought I would just pop by. Giving myself a break this week as feeling rather fragile.

I have come up with the idea of keeping my weekly meal plans written into one pad, instead of bits of paper that eventually get lost. Then when I am struggling like this in the future, I can just fall back on an old meal plan without taxing the brain too much.

I will try to be back next week in full force, not giving up.
Good luck everyone .

Afternoon all.

I'm struggling a bit at the moment, too - I'm starting to slip into winter mode and just want to eat and sleep - but I'm determined (or at least trying to be determined) to keep going until the end of October.

B - small bowl of porridge with sliced banana and 2 tsp brown sugar
S - apple
L - cheese and ham baguette (naughty! ); red pepper sticks with hummus; apple and mango juice
S - (if needed after my big lunch) - portion of fresh pineapple
D - tomato and onion pasta bake (small portion of pasta)

Exercise - a not very energetic walk up to the shops earlier.

Well done everyone for struggling on - I will try to emulate you!

Afternoon All,

Just got back from lunch out with DH, DS, DDIL and DGD as I said I'd treat them for DDIL's birthday which was on Monday. It was lovely and sunny earlier, though cold, but the heavens opened just as we got back so it looks like another afternoon knitting.

B: Muesli with extra sultanas.
L: Double egg and chips, Coke. Half an apple (shared with DGD).
HM butternut squash soup. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.

Exercise: 5 mile walk with dog walking friend this morning. About a mile up to cafe and back. I still haven't got back into routine with doing my exercise DVD every morning since I had my cold but must start making the effort.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope everyone is well. I had a blood test today for cholesterol levels, fasting glucose etc, so looking forward to the results. That is the main reason for me to lose weight as I have a family history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, so I hope the news will be good.
My meal plans for today -
B - fasting
Midmorning snack - 1 LF yoghurt and 4 brazil nuts
L - nut roast and ratatouille. [Feeling pleased with myself as I have just made nut roast for myself from scratch for the 1st time instead of using some from a packet]
D - greek salad, wholemeal pitta.
Have made some little cakes for the children, will probably have one myself. I have finally got enough self control to just have one biscuit or one cake instead of half the packet !
Exercise - wi fit and walking [I don't drive so have to walk if I want to get anywhere]
Good luck for the day.
