    So much for eating breakfast! Had to be out at 9.45am and kept finding things which needed doing before I left. Should have made eating one of the things :doh:. So..

    B - missed
    Dinner - turkey ham & veg casserole, sf jelly
    Tea - 3 crackerbread 1xvegemite, 1xrf cheese&pickle, 1xmarmalade
    Snacks - smal bag mini rice cakes cheese&chive flavour, melon, satsuma, apple
    Exercise - 1 hour class this am, housework & some gardening this pm.

    Have a good rest of the day
  • Was so worried about first day on placement today that I couldn't face breakfast
    Then I was absolutley starving by the time I finished as we didn't even get a chance to stop for a break. This meant I also skipped my planned visit to the gym on the way home, so must try and do some kind of exercise tonight.
    So:
    B-Missed
    L-Missed
    D-Chicken and bean salad
    Snacks: Packet of rolos (woops), two nakd bars, three pieces of malt loaf with low fat spread

    Carboliscious.

    i'm afraid i'm going to have to pull out of this challenge as this approach (although i believe it to be very good) does not seem to be working for me atm.
    i wish you all the best in your weight loss x

  • Morning all, hope your all well. I’ve got a nice treat planned for myself this morning, managed to finally get an appointment at the hairdresser, so that means a lovely head & neck massage before getting a good deal cut off the unruly mop – the amount to come off could result in another ¼lb loss :j, fingers crossed.

    Today’s Menu =
    B – Boiled Egg & Oatcakes
    L – Soup from Freezer – Pea & Ham (I think)
    D – Baked Fish, roasted toms & red pepper, Broccoli & Green Beans.

    List now updated to here, sorry for the delay.

    Arrowlili - I'm sorry you feel this isn't working for you, may I ask why? From the list I can see you have lost 6lbs out of your target 9lbs (that's 2/3 of the way there!) which is nearly half a stone, many of us would be over the moon with that! We all have a week or two which doesn't go as planned but that's no reason to give up :)

    I am plagued by The Witch and associated pains and sugar cravings today so have given in to her and eaten a lot of biscuits! I haven't lost anything this week but not gained either which is very good for a TOTM week. Fingers crossed...

    Really really must get that meal planning done, I used to be so on top of it and then totally lost my mojo with it...

    Hi all,

    Can I please join you?

    I would really like to reduce our family shopping bill, by buying less processed (is that possible) and cook more family meals for us - whilst losing weight!

    I've had a read about - but can someone please point me in the direction of some recipe ideas that are low fat? How are people doing this - sticking to a certain no of cals per day, and if so - how much?

    Do you weekly menu plan? I'll be planning for 2 adults, and a 4 year old - so need to accommodate all of us. I'll like to do a monthly plan if I can

    Excited to get on this journey.

    Thank you for any help!

    2b :)
