  • Hi BR

    Can't remember how I came to lurk but I did.

    Just seeing that you are on a diet, I have to agree with someone else that you are not actually eating much now especially fruit/veg.

    I am trying to follow Slimming World!! A typical day's meals for me would be:

    Breakfast - 2x Quorn Sausage, Beans, Mushrooms, Tomato, Egg - all fried in FryLight
    Lunch - Home made soup with 2 x wholemeal bread, Activia yoghurt or Jacket Potato and Beans or Cheese or Chilli
    Tea - Spag Bol or Chilli or Slimming World chips & Quorn Sausage or Mash, Beans & Meat Free Thing or Roast
    Snacks - Apples, Bananas, Yoghurts,

    You can also have up to 15 sins a day although they recommend about 10 - this is enough for a Breakaway and a bag of Wotsits/Quavers.

    With eating all that I can lose about 2lb a week, people who have lots to lose (over 3 stone) usually lose 7lb in their first week.

    There is a support thread on here which is good and people help you with meal ideas.

    It's not a diet, more a way of life. Even when I am not following it I tend to cook with Fry Light.

    Hope you don't mind me butting in. Keep going on the moneysaving!!

    Thank you so much for all the information - it's very interesting, not to mention motivational and I will take it all on board - will also have a wee look for the support thread too!

    Please continue to lurk and post!
  • Morning BR, well done on the weight loss, could do with dieting myself, i can see me staring in Jan as at the moment there is just too much going on and would be something else to thinkl about and don't think i could cope.

    Have a good day.

    Morning Penny and thank you!

    We can support each other through losing and saving the pounds! hug2.gif

    Hope things start looking up for you soon x
