Here is what I have eaten today
Breakfast ~ Cereals
Lunch ~ shallow fried left over rice with bacon cut up, onion, egg and left over veg ~ sounds awful but was really nice. Raspberries and ice cream
Snack ~ twister ice lolly thing
Snack 2 ~ Woops :mad:~ a shop bought home-made ice cream ~ wow but I dread to think of the damage it has done. There is no way I'm going to have lost weight tomorrow. But it was so hot when I picked up DS from school and he was having one.....
Dinner ~ BBQ grilled lamb processed stuff with potatoes and broad beans in parsley sauce.
Exercise - shred level 1. Bit annoying as my band width wasn't good enough and I had to do some of the exercises way too long to be possible"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."Weight loss challenge:j: week 1~ Napoleon Bonaparte

Well there is no easy way to do this so I'll get it over with quickly. I have put on another pound. Looking at my meal record this really shouldn't have come as a surprise. My food intake was worse before I started posting it up here...t

Snap sock knitter! I am the same weight as you!
My weigh in this morning - 1lb off! :j
V happy with this as the past week hasn't been particularly angelic. Thats why I've not posted as much on here, my diet is a bit all over the place at the moment. Using up existing odds and sods in the cupboards and freezer.
10 more weigh ins before my hollibobs! Eeeek! Though I'm not too focused on the numbers on the scale at the moment. I can really see changes in my physique - legs are getting a lot more toned, arms more defined - so that is spurring me on rather than my yo-yoing WI results. I do still want to get down to at least 11stone though so that is my target.
Todays plans:
b- Pear Ykos yoghurt (has anyone tried these? They are amazing!), 2 bananas
d- leftover beef stew with peas
s- another Ykos yoghurt with another banana
t- not sure yet. At spinning tonight so something quick and easy - probably stick a pizza in the oven0 -
Morning all!!
Very quick one to report STS :mad:
I was really hoping for a 1lb off this week
Good luck everyone xxO/S weight loss 2.5 /10lbs (11st 8.0- 08.02)0 -

l - egg and cress baguette with salad
d - veggie stir fry and rice

Morning all
I weighed in this morning and have gained 3lb! :eek: Food has been generally good though, so think it's probably down to baby weight at last. I was getting a bit worried that I'm 20 weeks and hadn't gained anything! I'm still not back to the weight I was when I was first pg though, and my face looks a lot thinner, so I suspect I've lost more of my fat than the scales show.
3lb in a week seems like a lot though, hope it slows down :rotfl:
Today:
Breakfast: granola bar
Lunch: retirement do for a colleague, will have to pick healthiest bits from buffet
Dinner: whatever inspires me in the freezer! I'm packing the remaining contents into the coolbox so I can defrost it overnight and will do a proper stock up shop on Saturday. got some broad beans to use up, so may do a pancetta pea and bean risotto.
snacks: rocky barLittle monkey born November 2012:jFroglet due March 20160 -
Lost 1.5lb
5 to go until my second target! Feeling pretty positive.
Good luck all!FTB:A Saving for my first deposit :A0
