Do we start today?

Weight this morning is 14st 6lb.

I just managed to get to 14st before the summer holidays and my target was to not go above 14st 7lb over the summer so I have managed to keep within it. Now it's time to try to push it down.

Anyone else here eating Harcombe style? (Essentially it means not mixing fat and carbs.)

Hi Folks,

Started off this new challenge in a real positive frame of mind - dusted off exercise dvd and had a good workout first thing then Oh joy….discovered a fish van that parks up near my local shops, I know it costs more to buy from but its soooo fresh looking compared to the supermarket cr*p and I just haven’t been able to acquire a taste for the frozen stuff.

So treated myself to a dressed crab, enough for lunch today and tomorrow with some salad & crusty brown bread. Also got a nice piece of haddock – so hm fish & chips for tea :j

Hi all, late today as I've been outside, taking advantage of the fine weather...

B - spicy, fruity porridge. Forgot the spice again, it's just not the same without it so I added a 1/2 teasp sugar and it tasted much better
D - stir-fried turkey, leek, peppers, garlic, tomato puree, on a bed of cous cous. Delicious!

Had forgotten how easy it is to do cous cous and didn't know how much to make as I've not done it for years, since the family was all at home, so I have enough left for another meal
T - not sure but am thinking grated rf cheese and pickle in a wrap and maybe a cup of soup, but am feeling stuffed after a bigger dinner than I planned so will see how I feel later
S - melon, pineapple, kiwi
E - mowed lawn, painted fence, de-weeded front and back patio's

Hope it's sunny where you are

Morning all - I remembered to weigh and have lost 1lb:j That's 22 lbs altogether now - 4 to go to 9 and a half stone:)

I've been working this morning and then been to the park with the dog and then on to the shops to do the grocery shopping. House cleaning next and then a well earned sit down. Another 30 min dog walk is yet to come too.....may well fall down before I sit down today!

Not sure about tea yet but had a Nature Valley bar for brekkie and a bagel with choccy Philly for lunch so not bad so far, need some F&V today though or will end up with scurvy!

Evening All

A quick post as I shall be off to work shortly. DH treated me to lunch out today so I succumbed to a few carbs. Still, I had been running earlier.

Whilst we were out, we visited a garden centre and aquatics shop for DH to purchase bits for his tropical fish tank and I found loads of seeds for sale for 50p per packet. I treated myself to some and currently have a window sill full of microgreens and sprouting seeds to use for salads. Should be ready to harvest within a week.

B: 2 boiled eggs mashed with salt, pepper and butter.
L: Steak and mushroom pie with peas, carrots, cabbage and leeks. HM chocolate mousse when I got home.
HM vegetable bake, using up leftovers. I sauteed an onion and garlic in butter, then added grated courgettes from the garden that were past their best, mushrooms, chopped core of yesterdays cabbage, the end of the butternut squash and left over cooked cabbage and carrots from yesterday. I bound them together with a bit of double cream and grated cheese, added salt, pepper and paprika and put in an oven proof dish and topped with cheese. I then baked it for 20 minutes. It tasted lovely although didn't look particularly brilliant. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
Snack: Couple of glasses of full cream organic milk as I bought some reduced to 16p in the supermarket.

Exercise: 5 mile run. About 3 miles of walking.

WelshWoofer well done on the 22lb total loss thats fab :T
today :

B - as previous

L - Didnt make soup for lunch as didnt fancy it, ended up with 2 chicken drumsticks (skin removed) & a plum

E - felt a bit better after that so blitzed the house, tidied, washed kitchen and bathroom floor, 4 loads of washing done and ironed straight off the line. Then felt shattered so had a little snooze .

D - Made a fish pie before snooze which was meant to be for lunch tomorrow but CBA to cook chilli burgers tonight so had the fish pie instead. Didnt get out for a walk but forecast not too bad here tomorrow so if I get rid of this sniffle I will go tomorrow (honest !)

Congratulations WelshWoofer

B - two leftover sausages
L - salad with bread, (horrible) cheese and marmite
S - roast veg and lamb (again) with coffee and cream for pudding

can anyone suggest something nicer than quark that's as fat free as possible? I don't do jam etc. I tried one slice of bread with a bit of branston but I've been low carb for so long that it smacked of pudding!

Have been busy today. I made veggie stock concentrate which is now in the dehydrator so I can powder it. And put 2kg of bullace to steep in a demijohn with 3 bottles of gin, hopefully that'll be yummy for Xmas!

Caterina

Happy to report a good weight or today, broke the 80 Kg mark, am 79.6 Kg so feeling very happy. A fair amount still to go but am going in the right direction. :-)

MrsCD

Well I was late getting weighed this week, and I have put on the 2 lbs I had lost before going on holiday Could have been worse, I suppose.
Anyway, onward and upward for the new challenge.

I, MrsCD, will do my very best to watch my portion sizes and not eat rubbish ( if there is a thing for holding your hand up like a promise, imagine it here)
Hope everyone reaches their targets this time.

Welshwoofer - very well done :T No wonder people are noticing!

Skint_yet_Again

plans for today

B - bacon sandwich
L - hm veg soup
D - have some beef mince to use up and plan to make hm chilli burgers but will see how I feel later, still a bit sniffly today so may just make a big batch of chilli to use up some leftover passatta, baked beans, butternut squash and salad potatoes lurking in the fridge

exercise - will get masking tape out and tape all woodwork (skirtings/dado rail (sp?) and doorways) up the stairs and landing ready for decorating. Apart from short walk to bottle bank/shop yesterday didnt go far so would like to get out for at least 30 min walk today while I feel well enough and weather ok

Have a good sunday x
