Hello all!

I was being rather good since I last (first?) posted a couple of weeks ago. I've been having museli or porridge for breakfast, barely snacking at all, and sensible-sized portions for lunch and tea. Then, this weekend, I went and visited my parents and succumbed to the wonderful chocolate goodies.

However! Last week, I weighed myself on the Wii Fit and I'd lost 4lb! :j Which is enough motivation in itself to keep me going. I'm going to measure myself again later today to see how I'm doing.

Meal Plan for Today
Breakfast: Porridge with a teaspoon of honey, with a glass of orange juice.
Lunch: HM Parsnip Soup (from the freezer)
Tea: HM Mushroom Stroganoff (using low-fat natural yoghurt instead of cream) with brown rice.

Congratulations to all those who have lost weight since I last posted and those in the 'not been good club' like me, we *shall* get better!

Hi all, really pleased lost 2lb this week but finding day time not too bad just a bit annoyed with myself of the evenings! Why is every advert for food at the moment and what with Heston and Jamie both with series out - ohhh!!! whenever I go on a diet all the good cooking shows are on!!! (even Britain got talent has pizza adverts!!!) although I have started to write down what I've been eating which seems to work - when you look at all the food it does make you think of every thing that goes into your mouth!!

Hello all,

Yesterday and today have been really damp and dank here, but on the plus side our small pond is now nicely topped up. I'd diverted the rainwater down pipe into it and had to go out this morning to remove it now the level is so high. The shoals of tadpoles are doing a fantastic job of munching through all the blanket weed too:T.

All this gloomy and chilly weather has had me craving more food too. Very munchy on Tuesday evening but then a lady in America telling an over weight mum on Supersize V Superskinny to take action to lose weight now, really stopped me in my tracks. Thank you that lady (30st and movement so difficult). Yesterday I spent the afternoon sorting through frozen fruit from the freezer and freezing crumble toppings ready for family descending. Then going through a double cupboard crammed full of baking ingredients, herbs, pasta's etc. The dates on some of them :eek:. I'd bought herbs for specific recipes, family didn't like them and then the herbs just sat there. DH also has a habit of buying packet meals and then never touching them. What a waste. So note to self - only buy what you use!!!!! There are a few items I have to use sharpish including ground almonds so will make a cherry Madeira cake and FREEZE it for when we have visitors.

A big congratulation to rachbc, Miss_I and Genuisscruffy, well done on your loses :T:j, you clever peeps. Good luck tonight Tappy, and I hope your back's feeling better.

Menu today;
Porridge, prunes and fruit juice
Beef and salad with pudding of half a banana, grapes, yogurt and a couple of spoons full of blackcurrant and strawberry mixture dug up from the depths of the freezer yesterday. I've got loads of it so must start using it.
2 pork sausages, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and sprouts.
Raisins or apple if hungry.

ended up comfort eating the rest of the meringues last night after 'date night' was interputted by dh's dad being rushed into hossie and dh obv needing to be with him. Though as I know the sugar didn't provide any comfort - shoudl have rung a friend really!

rach - hope DH's dad is doing okay.
I join you on the comfort eating front. Car trouble - I don't cope with that well as no car, no wages.

Will brush the eccles crumbs off my chest and be back tomoz.

rachbc - best wishes to your DH's dad - I hope he's OK.

I've been pretty good today given I've been off work sick and am feeling pretty sorry for myself - the only real moment of weakness (so far, anyway ) has been putting butter on the rolls that went my soup at lunchtime. I just need to be as well-behaved for the rest of the evening...

I've had:

Breakfast - honey loop cereal with a handful of mixed dried berries and semi-skimmed milk (that cereal's a real guilty pleasure - it's got not much in the way of nutrients and lots in the way of sugar, but it tastes so good! )
Lunch - HM chicken and veg soup with two small rolls with butter; two pears
Dinner - pepper and onion tart with rocket and tomato salad; fresh mango

It went slightly wrong today (but not hugely )

B: Bran flakes and semi skimmed milk, banana

L: HM chickpea curry and brown rice

HM veggie chilli and brown rice

S: Skinny capuccino, 4 Malteasers, 6 malted milk biscuits, a plum, a pear and a triangle of tiffin about the size of half a credit card

I feel a bit disappointed I had so many crappy snacks but I felt really hungry all day and didn't have time to stop so I just grabbed a mouthful of something each time I ran back to the office!
