Ragz, could you put me down for a stone on the summer challenge please. I really want to be a small 16 by the time the schools break up.

I'm feeling quite pleased with myself, I managed to pick up a pair of size 16 LTS jeans off ebay and I can actually do them up! But they are distinctly 'snug' and I really wouldn't want to sit down in them :eek: so I'm still wearing my size 20 jeans and my mum's old size 18 palazzo pants as I'm too parsimonious to buy clothes while I can get away with what I have LOL.

Happy Easter everyone,

Today is raining and horrible, so lots of cooking will be going on in my kitchen as I feel a pottering day coming on, which will fill my freezer with lots of hm meals.

Yesterday, the walk turned out to be about 9 miles, and the lunch was delicious and pretty healthy really (bruschetta/tomatos, lamb tagine & couscous, and the lemon tart), so I felt very virtuous :T

Today, won't be quite so good as I'm treating myself to a bacon and egg breakfast:eek:, no lunch, maybe some chocolate :eek:, maybe a glass of wine :eek:, then a roast chicken dinner...

My idea of a blissful (though hardly angelic) Sunday. Back to being good tomorrow.

Enjoy your day, folks!

Morning all
:easter:

Hope you all have a great day. Raining here this morning so the planned egg hunt for my 3 girls has been changed to indoors I am sure they won't mind !

Just planning to have a roast lamb dinner this afternoon and a few cups of tea this morning. Will get back into losing weight mode from tomorrow and see if I can shift another 10lbs .

Will resist the chocolate i promise you :EasterBun

Happy Easter everyone,

Sparrer – what’s a holiday if you can’t indulge, I became addicted to the pistachio ice cream on my trips to Italy and Oooh the pastries – enjoy.

I’ve definitely caught the de-cluttering bug, the spare room is sorted and in doing so I now need to rearrange my wardrobes – so todays task is sorting through the clothes that I have been wearing, making room for those I can now wear :T, those that I will wear in a few weeks’ time and packing up those that I can no longer wear because they are too big!! :j:j

In between sorting the clothes my meals will be:-
Brunch – Bacon & Egg Sandwich (LavenderBees – great minds think alike)
S - Lentil & sweet potato pate, Crackers, cucumber
D – Prawn & Vegetable Stirfry

OK, last weigh in and I'm bang on 15 stone which means a total loss of 24lb since joining this thread.

Daska Please share your secrets - that's a brilliant result:A

Hudson good luck finishing your dissertation. All the leaping for joy when you submit it will use up lots of calories

I've discovered white chocolate and coconut ice cream

ooooh - sounds fab. Now I'm going to have to search for a recipe. Perhaps you could bring back some virtual portions ? Glad your break is going so well.

Haven't eating anything yet today. OH wanted a full cooked breakfast and to watch the footie, but he's still asleep. So, do I wake him up in time for kickoff .... or let him sleep and save calories? :rotfl::rotfl:

Dinner will be roast lamb, with potatoes & cabbage. Also have a bag of mini Easter eggs to share, but somehow chocolate lasts for months in this house .... bit of a mystery that.

Have a great day everyone.

I wasnt very good lastnight!! I went out with friends so had 4 barcadi and diet cokes (you have to at least TRY to be good )
and then went to a restuarant and had a Thai green chicken curry with sticky rice and 3 prawn crackers.

Oh the calories :eek: but oh it was soooooooo yummy!!!:rotfl:

Didnt go swimming this morning either. I dont drink usually alot so those 4 barcadis have given me a hangover boo

As it is Easter and I dont want this to be a 'diet' im not going to beat myself up too much. I will try harder next week when im back at work :rotfl:

Snacks 1 thorntons choccy and a can of lager.

Ermmm.... thank you very much but you may not wish to emulate my entire strategy! The key to my stupendous weightloss included a vomiting bug, trigeminal neuralgia and a reaction to the meds prescribed for the TN. :rotfl:

And, to be fair, a very low calorie (approx 800-1000Kcal/day), very low carb (under 20g/day), high fat diet. That wasn't what I was aiming at originally but after a couple of weeks of low carbing my appetite dropped off considerably (apparently it's common for low carbers to end up eating far less than low fat dieters) so it wasn't a struggle.

And I feel better than I have for ages. Cutting out grains has severely reduced the digestive/bowel/continence problems I was having, to the point that I had a slice of bread on Thursday and am still feeling the after-effects. Succumbed to shortbread today and I know I'm going to regret it Actually today was bad, I did really well for lunch, we had roast lamb and salad, then DS1 wanted chantilly cream with the berries we had for pudding and the chocs came out and I pigged.
