Aldhabra I'd love to eat breakfast but my fitness classes are first thing and I get terrible indigestion and heart burn if I eat anything. Its the sit ups and planks and generally bending over that does it. I eat as soon as I get home though. I've become so used to it now I dont get hungry till around 12.

Hi Folks,

Just popped in with a very quick post, sorry haven’t had the chance to catch up on everyone’s posts – things have been a bit hectic round here for the past couple of days – I now need to get on with some cleaning and prep for my visitors arriving tomorrow :j:T:j, just hope the weather picks up a bit so that we can get out and about without needing coats/brollies/boots/scarfs/gloves/hats.

Meals today =
B – Boiled Egg, Oatcake
L – French Onion Soup, toast
D – Out with friends, not sure where we are eating but I will try and make healthy choices :A

Good luck to those weighing in tomorrow – I will hopefully get a chance then to catch up with the thread.

Hi all!!

Has anyone been watching secret eaters? last night they said you will eat fewer calories if you have small plate/small bowl as you 'eat with your eyes'. I think they must have been reading this thread :rotfl:

Today:

B: museli, strawberries and bananas- Yum Yum Yum
S: Cherries
L: Tuna salad and one crisp bread
S: Yogurt, 2 x satsumas
T: Supermarket suprise- have college tonight and I usually make a sandwich to take but because of how hot it is I thought id buy one- dont want a warm sandwich for tea :eek:
Also sainsbobs are usually reducing their sandwiches when we have our break about 7:30pm

L smoked mackeral salad

D chicken, bacon and veg stir fry

Evening All,

I am feeling overfull tonight - OH had made bread timed to be ready for when I walked through the door! Mind you, I hadn't eaten very well all day anyhow.

B: Slice of toast with butter and jam
L: Egg and chips (shared with DGD) at cafe. I had planned to eat something much more healthy but didn't fancy any of the options on the menu today.
HM granary bread with HM chicken liver pate and cherry tomatoes. Yoghurt with lemon juice and Splenda. 1/2 Eccles cake
Snack: Double caramel Magnum

Exercise: 1 hours Pilates. Walks to work and back and out this evening so about 5 miles in total.

Better late than never

B - missed, travelling
D - carvery, 1 slice pork, 1 slice beef, cauli, mashed swede, 2 little roast tatties, tiniest Yorkshire I've ever seen in a carvery, gravy. Cheesecake with squirty cream
T - missed, travelling
Supper - fruit salad made with kiwi, pear, nectarine, banana
E - none

Not a very good day pre-WI, on the other hand since I've started at the gym I have more energy to do boring things like housework so it has been a productive week in one respect

Good luck everyone for WI tomorrow

Hi

I've just found this thread and I wondered if I could join? I've done all the fad diets and found that they don't really work and that they are huuuugely expensive, so old style definitely seems the way forward.

I don't have a lot to lose about a stone and a half ish of excess baby weight! I've read a few pages of this thread and feel inspired to give it a go.

Is it weigh in day tomorrow? If I have my first weigh in then and then try and lose 2-3lb every week I'll be happy with that.

Speak soon

p.s. I'm hoping that I can bring my shopping bill down in the process, due to buying all the faddy things, as well as making house work my exercise...... hmmm watch this space!

Morning, All & Welcome Missy :wave:

I'm afraid I need to lose 3 smiley faces :(.

Not at all surprised really, I've been off the rails for a while now. I feel at a bit of a cross roads really, and have decided that, apart from needing a good kick up the proverbial, while I have a week off work next week, I'm also going to give myself a break from putting myself under pressure in other areas of my life.

So (deep breath!), I'm declaring myself out of the Summer challenge, though I'll still read & post. I'll enjoy next week - eating out, getting more fresh air and exercise. I'll still try to eat healthily, will work at reducing my portion sizes again, but am not going to obsess, and hopefully, I'll come back refreshed and ready to go on with renewed vigour.

Good luck with your weigh ins everyone. Happy Friday (at last!)

Good morning everyone and welcome Missy
On a personal note I would just like to announce that yesterday I became a Grandma :j. Absolutely delighted, and even more incentive for me to be as fit and healthy as possible.
Ragz I have lost 2 pounds. I am very pleased with that, though it wasn't as good what the scales in Tesco said on Wednesday:(. Never mind.
Meal plans - not sure if/when I will be visiting my new little Grandson, so will just say as healthy as possible.
Exercise - I have to take my laptop in for repair, so will have a 4-5 mile bike ride. Plus I will do a 'workout' [sounds impressive] at home.
Best of luck everyone
