Hi chums I saw the diet nurse today and I have lost 3.5 lbs since I saw her just before Christmas and she is very pleased with me :):)
Its all gonna go :):)

Well done JackieO, you're flying ahead!
jess444 the last time I bought sugar was maybe 18 months ago, threw it out when I did a stock take last week. I cook from scratch, don't buy/eat sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc., so what can't I lose weight? In a word - Cheese! As you'll see from today's menu

B - spicy fruit porridge. I make a big pot which lasts 5/6 days but never get tired of it. Note: No sugar added, the dried fruit and cinnamon make it sweet enough
L - not feeling hungry today so have just had a slice of hm bread toasted with rf cheese
D - No time as I'm going out, might have a crackerbread with vegemite when I get back. Or not.
S - satsuma, carrot batons, handful of nuts.

Accept that there is natural sugar in the above but natural isn't (quite) as bad for me as refined.

Enjoy the rest of the day

Been poorlier than poorly here and on Monday I was diagnosed with gastro oesophageal reflux disease. So probably best I eat a simple diet and get round to losing those 2 stones!


(Seems diet has little to do with it but a bit of weight loss might help).


Anyway, today I have eaten/will eat:


shreddies with soya milk


HM soup (mainly carrot and kale) and 2 slices of HM bread


sausage and baked bean hotpot with sliced potato on top
apple crumble and custard

Had another good day today

B: muesli, ss milk
L: cheese toastie (more cheese sparrer, not had cheese for weeks )
ham salad, microwave chips, and angel delight as a treat as I had a friend round...she said she really enjoyed the salad

I've *still* not lost anything, still the same weight as xmas eve.
I even went for a walk in the rain today, so I won't be impressed if I don't lose anything this week!

I wonder if our bodies just get used to us eating a certain amount, and settle at that? That's not very scientific, is it? :rotfl: All I know is I'm eating low cal and not shifting anything!

I found that I have bought very little sugar. I use sugar only for making bread, one teaspoon at a time. If I start making cakes it will increase but overall I am still doing well.

Not doing too badly with food but I don't seem to be getting much exercise.....my pedometer only reads 6500 steps, if it was light outside I'd go for a walk (or perhaps I'm just making excuses lol )


B-1 Weetabix with ss milk
L-carrot &ginger soup
D- spag bol with veg......smaller portion than I would normally have.


Yesterday DS bought Cherry bakewells, which were so hard to resist, they are 200 cals each! No wonder I put on weight easily as I'd usually think nothing of eating 2 of them. Instead I had a small bowl of cinnamon porridge at around 170 cals as I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise.

b - english muffin with cinnamon spread
l - fruit and seed flapjack
d - mushroom quiche, 3 potato croquettes and beans
s - 2 jaffa cakes

Meh
