Hello

I've done marginally better today. Not managed to sort the scales out though. I'm looking forward to my meal out tomorrow so will try and be extra good before and after.

Enjoy your meal out, pollys.

I fell off the wagon a tiny bit yesterday and scoffed 100g bag of Doritos. I had dinner, was home alone and feeling sorry for myself and couldn't resist the call. I could easily have polished off the other bag in the cupboard but resisted, which is something.

My other half did a lovely dinner tonight, bless him, as a nice thing for me since I have been stomping all over the place but it wasn't the best thing for a diet. We had olive ciabatta with oil and vinegar, honey and mustard pork salad and a white chocolate and raspberry Gu pot. Yum. All topped off with some wine, which admittedly I didn't drink a lot of.

And I actually stopped with the bread, where I could have devoured the half loaf, and left some of my salad because I was full and I don't feel massively stuffed. So all good things, previously I could have eaten till my buttons popped!

Thank fully the rest of the day was good, had a couple of crumpets for breakfast and an avocado salad for lunch.

Did manage to walk 10,000 steps today though which hopefully cancelled out some of the calories in!

Have lovely evenings one and all xx

I wondered if anyone knows what to expect about flight food? We go in 5 weeks, leave the UK at 9am, arrive to new york at 5pm (our time, 12pm theirs). I'm wondering how many meals would be served on the plane, and wether it would be american appropriate (because we fly at their breakfast time) or UK appropriate (because that's the country we leave)? It's a US airline. We also have a 5 hour internal flight from 2-7pm, so I don't know whether to expect dinner?

Sorry if this is silly - I've never flown to the US, so just don't know what to expect, and don't want to eat 3 square meals at the airport, if we'll get 3 meals on the planes. Try to do some holiday weight damage control at least!

minicooper, I don't know about the internal flight but I flew Delta between London and Boston last year, leaving around 10am. We had a main meal around 12 (keeping our clocks GMT) and a snack about 3.30-4. (again, GMT). We landed about 5pm GMT, which was noon or so local time. We had a tiny bit of breakfast before we left and dinner later when we got there, trying to stay in time zones. To be honest, I probably would have not had the snack, or kept it till later, if I was doing it now.

Hi Mini C
Ive flowen to America afew times but some years back now and seem to remember leaving England early morning so we got a cooked breakfast, later a snack (think cake and tea) and then a 'main' meal like casserole & potatos. Then I think coming back we left USA in the afternoon so we had meal like a casserole, snack and then a cooked breakfast as we were landing in England in the morning. To be honest id try and eat something at the airport/ take something with you as you wont get your 1st meal to approx 2 hours into the flight and (IMHO) plane food aint that great

Have my new determined hat on though, and am back to work on Monday, I think being on hols with such wet weather has forced me to stay in resulting in excessive baking of cakes and sweets for the family!

L. 2 warburton thins, salad cream, ham, l/f crisp
D. Chicken spagetti casserole, hm bread, green beans
S. S crumpets, marmite

Thanks guys! I just wasn't sure how it works, but by the sound of it, they feed you according to the country you just left. We'll probably have breakfast at the airport, but I just wanted to check how many meals so I don't panic buy at the airport!

Another 1lb loss for me please KW, at last it's beginning to move.

B - spicy, fruity porridge
L - 2 x crackerbread with Brie and rf cheddar, 1 x peanut butter

Enjoy the rest of the day
