    Evening All

    Well done everyone on another week of weight loss challenge, whether it is for a loss or staying the same.

    I think I may have celebrated a bit too much today as I am feeling rather full at present. I have been baking sticky toffee puddings for a friend and had a few too many tastes, on top of a bigger amount of food than I am used to.

    B: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt
    L: 2 egg spinach and cheese omelette (but both eggs were double yolkers!). Lemon yoghurt
    D: 1/2 mushroom pizza (could have been worse as I found myself putting the whole one on the oven tray to start with!) 2 raspberry smoothies
    Snacks: Small bar of dark chocolate. Lots of tastes of my sticky toffee pudding mixture and the sauce.

    Exercise: 1 hours stability ball class. About 2 mile walk.

    Typical menu:

    B:porridge or HM museli for breakfast with banana of course :p
    S: some strawberries/black grapes-I loooooove black grapes :)/brazil nuts

    Morning Folks,

    Had a busy day decorating yesterday so meal plan was more for convenience rather than a healthy, culinary experience, I ended up just having two meals interspersed with fruit snacks:-
    Mid-Morning – Bacon sandwich
    Dinner – Corned Beef, new potatoes, salad.
    Snack – Banana, Apple, Yoghurt & honey.

    Today the top coat needs doing, but I’ve run out of masking tape so need to make a trip to the DIY store first. For meals I’m a bit more organised and an early morning rummage in the freezer has resulted in
    B – Toast, spreading cheese, cucumber
    L – Soup
    D – Roast Pork, new potatoes, veg

    Hope you all have a good day despite the weather; looks like another sunny day here – two days in a row – must a record!!

    Hi, Everyone,

    I'm back from the southern south..survived the big city :rotfl:I've been rained on all weekend and an awful trashing journey back today - all trains delayed and horrible wet and windy platforms - not fun! But it was lovely to see my friend :j

    I've caught up with the losses, and am really impressed. Well Done!! Mine was a sts when I weighed myself at the unearthly hour of 4am on Friday. I'm happy with that, also my friend is vegetarian and serves sensible portions, so I haven't overeaten, though a reasonable amount of wine has been imbibed :beer:

    Hope to get back to posting properly tomorrow...am too shattered now, but just wanted to say well done to you all. Fab results! :T

    LB xx
