Thank you for the welcome consultant31. I really need to be eating a diet that will make a difference and I know that SW works.

I didn't have a good start today before I decided to go back to SW. I had a crumpet with butter!
Tomorrow is my official start.

I don't know how long the Great Wall is but if you want an intermediate goal how about applying for the Moonwalk/Sunwalk in 2011? I did the Edinburgh Moonwalk (26.2 miles) last year. It nearly killed me, I got shin splints at 24 miles and it hurt like hell but its for a bloody good cause and the training did me a LOT of good!

bex are you eating enough ? your days food doesnt look very much to me in all honesty - lacking in protein which keeps you feeling full - only the lentils ??

the amount of cereal allowed and then just fruit for lunch would not satisfy me at all - sorry love just trying to be objective xx

sorry just noticed the chicken dippers - also protein - but if processed are they a good source ?

Hey Daisy, thanks for the advice. I'm probably not eating enough to be honest. The thing is, I was made redundant in July, so I'm 'sat around' for a lot of the day. I do go to the gym but I just feel that my lunchtime appetite has dwindled.

Cereal keeps me full for ages! But back when I was working, I would have 'elevenses'. Now I'm just not hungry for it.

This week I will try to snack more in between meals and have a decent lunch.

the part of the walk im doing is about 50 miles which doesnt seem alot but at one point we have to walk up 1000 steps doing the 13 in my house kills me lol.

Yes, steps do me in too! I always refuse to go down to a beach or view if it means going down steps as I know I've got to come back up!

I think I must be a bit odd, when I 1st did sw I lost 2.5st on the same foods week in week out i.e jacket spuds, savoury rice, pasta & beans. I hardly drank any water in fact hardly drank much of anything really. I did hardly any exercise either but still lost weight, maybe not a lot at a time but still lost. The reason I gained was due to medication.
This time is mostly the same although eating more superfree, although its always the same fruit & veg i.e onions, tomatoes, pineapple & melon. I live on noodles, potatos & beans and still don't drink enough. But I have lost weight, slowly but am now at target [below it].
I know I don't eat as varied a diet as I should but I'm a bit of a fussy eater really, I like what I like so stick with it . What works for one doesn't necessarily work for all.
Any way I'm a loser and proud of it. Good luck all & sorry for the essay .

TakeItEazy I have gained weight because of meds too and you are an inspiration to me. If you can do it so can I. Thank you
