I have to report in that I have been making some pretty silly choices and eating far too much at meal times. It's been going on since the weekend. I don't want to do it, I want to stop it so hopefully I can wake up in a better frame of mind tomorrow. I am hoping and praying for STS on Friday. I fear it may even be a gain. Still, tomorrow shall be the restart of this very long journey - all is not lost

Well things are jogging along - still managing not to eat too much that I shouldn't, and even declined a home made cookie at work today (month ago I'd have eaten one and gone back for seconds).

Made some home made rolls for lunch so had cup a soup and roll for lunch two days and tomorrow will take one with low fat cheese filling.

Had a handful of oven chips, two poached eggs and two quorn sausages for dinner - enough like a fry up to pass without the added fat.

Did have a whole tin of low fat creamed rice to follow, but did not add jam or syrup as I would have previously so hopefully will be able to continue like this.

Hello can i join you all please? After going on a fad diet last year and losing 2 stone which i was over the moon with since stopping i have of course put it all back on ( what a waste of money )
I have decided the only way is the old way. I don't think i actually eat that bad just maybe too much and at the wrong times.

Hubby works away alot and kids like theirs really early like 4.30-5 and i'm not ready then so i end up eatting on my own and often can't be bothered to cook just for me.

I walk to and from school everyday which is over a mile ( i know not far) and swim when i can. I can't afford or have time for the gym but i have a stepper i'm going to dig out tomorrow and have a set time to get into routine to do it. I'm hoping to also start zumba but can only do this every other week due to know one being around to have the kids.

This is what i had today pre-healthy eatting.
B- cornflakes with skimmed milk
L- curried chicken sarni and packet of crisps
D- roast pork dinner, broccoli, carrots and mash
S-as felt really ill around 3pm teacake
and had a slice of cake with a cuppa at 9pm ( totally wrong time and not needed)

Welcome Theonlynuttytart and Louby-lou-lou - if you want to join the Challenge (please read first page) then post your targets in red and I will add you on. It's not compulsory but we do seem to be doing pretty well with it!

Lovely light dinner last night, baked cod, chargrilled veg (frozen), spinach (OMG you don't get much from a bag full when it's cooked!) and new potatoes in a low fat (light cream cheese and light mayo) dressing. Really tasty. I treated myself to ONE chocolate digestive (81 calories each! I used to eat half a packet...) and made it last with tiny bites, actually tasted much better that way rather than scoffing the lot in two mouthfuls and reaching for another...

Fuddle - I am sure the motivation will come back. I find if I exercise first thing in the morning I make better choices through the day, could you try that?

Water - I managed to drink 4 bottles (500ml) yesterday so will aim for the same again today.

Morning all
Dinner last night was DH's homemade curry, with 2oz basmati rice each. He did the cooking, so didn't add any veg :mad: but it was pretty tasty. Normally he marinates the chicken and gets all the bits ready, and then I cook it with peppers and spring onions etc before making the sauce. Hedid do all the washing up as well though, so can't be too grumpy with him

Today:
Breakfast: granola bar
Lunch: sandwich from canteen, wotsits
Dinner: not sure yet, maybe sausage and mash

Exercise: pilates. supposed to go running at lunch as well but I forgot my kit :mad:

CCP

Morning all.

fuddle - I'm having much the same problem at the moment. I'm fine during the day but the last few days I've been ravenous by dinner time and have eaten far too much (last night went totally off plan - I changed my mind on what to have for dinner, then walked to the pub rather than driving and had 3 pints of cider - very naughty CCP ). I had a sneak peek on the scales and it's not looking good - I seem to have gained back the 2lb I lost last week. I really hope the scales show something different on Friday...

Today goes:

B - two scotch pancakes; banana (I wasn't really hungry after a massive dinner last night but I've got a meeting this morning so I thought I'd better eat something)
L - 3 small wraps, 3 HM falafel, red pepper sticks, and a small pot of houmous to dip everything in
S - kiwi fruit; clementine (the same ones I had yesterday and didn't get round to eating )
D - pork chop and squash wedges in a chilli marinade, with Chinese cabbage and - hopefully - brown rice ('hopefully' because I've never really got the hang of cooking rice )

Exercise - a walk at lunchtime if it stops raining; possibly a walk home after work if the garage hasn't finished trying to fix my car

Have a good day, all.
