Thank you Knit Witch, we've kept you busy this week getting the list up to date :T

Had a visit from DM...she brought me a pack of 4 puff pastry mince pies (my favourites), after me deliberately not buying any all through the holidays!
I wouldn't take them and made her take them home, which didn't go down too well. The thing is, we had EXACTLY the same conversation last January, when I'd just started the diet (you know, "I really don't want to eat them"..."oh go on, they were a bargain"...no, I'm trying to lose weight"..."you can eat one a day"...err, no, there are some things I can't manage that with, jaffa cake, anyone?!)

I think her love of a bargain overrides any wish to see me slimmer, she wouldn't have bought them if they were full price.
I thought I'd had a breakthrough when she told my aunt not to buy me chocolates for xmas, as I was dieting, but I think that was more to do with getting one up on her sister than encouraging me!

We then chatted about how we both know different people who have had a leg amputated recently due to circulation problems...I tried to tell her that was one of the reasons I was so keen to lose weight, I don't want to increase my risk of diabetes and further illness...I already have constant back pain. I don't think she saw the link.

I lost 2 stone last year, and she has not once encouraged me or said well done.

IRL I have one friend who's a walking buddy when we can manage to get together, so thank you all for being here and encouraging each other, it helps a lot :T

btw, despite me moaning, my DM is actually a lovely lady, she just has this thing about feeding me

Evening

I put on 5lb over Christmas but I've got 3lb of that off now which puts me 2lb up on where I was at the end of the last challenge, but that's where I'm going to start from today. If I can lose the 4lb I'm aiming for I will still be pleased, and if I can do a little more then even better!

Weighed in this morning and it was a shocking 10st 12:eek:




Very shocked as this is the heaviest I have been in a long time, and really must do something about it. Going to start in earnest on Monday, easing into it over the weekend


B shredded wheat
L toast (a thick crust) with jam
T pizza and pasta (was careful with portion)
snacks are fruit only

Today:

B: 2 white toast (dont usually eat alot of white bread as im not a fan), 2 bacon rashers grilled, two poached egss, abit of butter
S: 2 roses choc
L: 1 toast with two slices wafer thin ham, cheese and sliced tomato grilled, few carrot/celery sticks and spoon of hummous (I Love Hummous )
S: Greek yog with a sprinkle of museli and a teaspoon of nutella stirred in- yummy but
T: chicken peices oven baked with spices, boiled potatos with alittle butter, salad, spoon hummous, 1/2 whole meal bagette

Took our christmas tree down today and did loads of cleaning plus took dog for about 1 hr walk up some local hills so hope ive burnt some cals

Prob have a couple of glasses of wine later! Ive eaten too much today so really need to sit down tomorrow have a think about the week ahead and meal plan!

I booked my summer hols yesterday so :j:j:j but ive now got 6 months to lose that 1 & 1/2 stone i have put on

Hi, please can I join?


Please put me down for 21lbs.


I'm weighing in at 13 st 12ibs, which means Ive put on over half a stone over Christmas. I wont be starting properly though until Monday when I go back to work.

Bit ashamed of today food wise
B: nutrigrain biscuits, Cadburys eclairs x2
L: chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, small bag of crisps and a tube of smarties
Bolognese (small portion) ciabatta and a kids fromage frais.
Its been a bit rubbish, still under 2000cals though

I weighed myself this morning..................ouch!

I've managed to put 4lbs on in a fortnight!!! Still lighter than I was this time last year but definitely not good!:o

The good news is that I have now ate every bit of chocolate and drank every bottle of wine that I had in the house! No temptation is left!:rotfl:

Hello all. Hope you have had a good day. Mine is OK but could be better.
B muesli and Greek yogurt.
L hot turkey sandwich
D pork loin chop topped with Apple sauce and a small amount of Stilton with braised red cabbage
S couple of satsumas AND a tiny portion of Xmas pud with brandy cream.

I don't think this is going to get me to my 19lb target so am going to have a lighter lunch tomorrow.
Good night.
