    Morning all :)
    Wee bit too much to drink last night, not feeling too clever this morning. Made good choices at the restaurant though, and only ended up 400 kcal over my Target, which is set to get a 1000 kcal deficit.
    Today:
    breakfast: fruit corner, satsumas
    Lunch: out with MIL
    Dinner: soup (if hungry)

    Exercise: maybe gym later, depending how late we get back from MIL's

    B - dry-fried egg on wm toast - using tea plate and baby cutlery, took 20 mins to eat and am feeling full :D
    D - may be going out, if not it'll be the last of the pasta/tomato sauce. Love it but it gets a little tedious after a week
    T - crispbreads with yogurt, vegemite/peanut butter
    Snacks - satsuma, apple, plums, melon
    Exercise - clearing leaves and weeding this afternoon, weather depending

    Enjoy this lovely day :)

    I have lost half a stone:j:j:j Nearly back to my original weight loss for the year thats in my signature!

    Not bad for 2 weeks of dieting!

    Don't think i will achieve another 1/2 stone in the next two weeks, will settle for a 4lb loss.

    morning all :)
    was quite good at the restaurant for lunch yesterday, had a crab salad for starter (left the croutons as they were really really greasy), and then roast lamb, which i didn't finish because I was sooo full (previously unheard of for me to leave a roast potato! :rotfl:)
    Didn't have any dessert or dinner later, as still totally stuffed.

    had a sneaky look at the scales this morning, and I've gone down a stone number :j So exciting to be 14st something again!:T

    Today's meals:
    Breakfast: fruit corner
    Lunch: wrap, homous, rocket, apple, satsumas
    Dinner: Enchiladas (HM beef and lentil chilli in 2 tortillas baked with tomato sauce, 1oz rf cheese), topped with FF fromage frais and sweet chilli sauce
    nom nom nom

    Exercise: may go for a swim, but back acting up, so will see how it is later.

    Morning all. Have stopped calorie counting on Myfitnesspal as I was getting too reliant on it. I want to be able to get into automatically healthier habits for when I reach goal as I won't want to calorie count forever, I'll need to be able to do it on my own. So we shall see how it goes...

    Breakfast - Cheerios and a very small amount of FF milk.
    Lunch - Chicken breast and light mayo sandwich with WG mustard on thin brown bread. Small amount of Mu 30% lighter cheese (yummy, first low fat cheese I've tried that tastes nice). Pear (finally a ripe juicy one!)
    Dinner - Chicken soup. Will try to go easy on the PB baguette...

    LitteMoog congratulations! That's an amazing achievement :T
    A quick trip into Mr M for more fruit (I keep running out, can't think why?!) and as I was walking round my trousers felt like they were falling down to my hips. They're my fav ones too, looks like I'll just have to have another trip to the clothing shops

    B - fruit scone. Naughty but haven't made them in years and I have someone coming for tea so had to do a taste-test..
    L - Plain boiled rice with tomato/veg sauce, lf yougurt. Had it in a dessert bowl and teaspoon, took me ages to eat and for once I didn't scrape the bowl :D
    D - Small jacket with lf yogurt and a few prawns

    Snacks - Satsumas, pear, melon, apple
    Exercise - cleaned through downstairs then washed kitchen floor on hands and knees.

    Enjoy the rest of the day :)
  • Afternoon All,

    Congratulations to all the losers. I saw Mum off this morning so am back to normal again.

    B: Muesli with extra sultanas (and the last of the double cream that Mum bought!)
    L: HM pancakes made with left over Yorkshire pudding mix from yesterday - stuffed with ham, mushrooms and red onion, topped with cheese and put under the grill. Peas. DH had his with fried potato skins - again a left over from the weekend. Small portion of apple crumble and custard. This crumble is the very last of the foraged apples I've been using so only a couple of portions left to tempt me with.
    T: Not sure yet but not much as we have only just eaten lunch. Maybe a banana will be enough. By the time I get hungry I'll be at work anyhow.

    Exercise: Walk round the village with Mum earlier and then again to see her off at the bus stop. Maybe 1 1/2 miles in total. 50 minutes non stop swimming.
