A sneaky peek shows a 1lb loss this morning. Hopefully it will stick around so I can update next week:T:T:T

VickyA - don't stress too much, you can't really gain that much in a week if you have been at least trying a bit, you'd have to be eating 3000 cal a day to gain that much! It's probably fluid retention. We all fluctuate a lot (I know, I weigh daily it can be quite shocking!), maybe weigh again in a few days and see how it looks then.

I have just realised I haven't lost anything for about 6 weeks. I am wondering if it has something to do with my thyroid problem as my last blood test showed that levels which should still be going down have gone back up... I never liked to blame my thyroid for weight problems, but it seems after reading a lot of people's experiences to be quite common. Some people can go to the gym every day and eat 1200 calories and still not lose a pound. I am going t try being really really strict for a few weeks and if no loss I will have to speak to the doctor. Though as I am not medically overweight they probabaly won't consider it significant.

Kids have been up all night coughing so I am even more tired this morning. I wanted to go for a run but I can't see that happening.

Sorry - having a 'feeling sorry for myself' day today...

Hugs ragz, we're entitled to an off day now and again. I remember what it's like being up with poorly LO's (particularly when it's weekend and you could have slept in!). It'd be a sound idea to get the thyroid checked if nothing else than to put your mind at rest.

B - 2 slices Danish with scrape of marmalade
D - trout, hm oven wedges
T - tba, probably soup & crackers
Snacks - melon, satsumas, plums, apple. Keeping a tub of chopped celery in the fridge as it's much cheaper than the grapes I've been picking at through the day. It's there permanently but I won't mention it again

Just tidied the freezer and put goodness knows what into the sc, will make an interesting soup. At least it's done what I intended, cleared the freezer of all the little odds and ends of veg's. Now I can fill it up with tubs of soup later

Hope it's sunny where you are

Morning

Last night had a really bad cold suddenly come on. It's one of those stuffy head ones so my ears and nose are bunged, runny eyes and a bad cough Hate this kind of feeling. One good thing is loss of appetite but I will try to eat normally to keep on track.

:grouphug: to Ragz and all who need one today.

Breakfast: F&F + ss milk
Lunch: Seeded bread ham salad sandwich (ham , asst lettuce, cucumber and beetroot) no butter just a smear of salad cream.
Dinner: Lean pork steak, new pots and lotsa veg
Snack: maybe a small pack (4 biscuits) Belvita
Drink: water

Wind is howling here today, some sunshine then next minute it's dark and raining. Hope you all have a lovely day where you are.

Decided to have a bit of a change today as I’m feeling a bit bloated; we’ve all got these kitchen gadgets that are bought and hardly ever used, so I’ve dusted off the old Juicer and enjoyed for breakfast a pint measure of HM Juice made from – grapes, clementine’s, carrot, celery, apple & fresh ginger.

Just about to have a light lunch of Mung bean & spinach soup. Dinner is going to my downfall though, as I need to use up some potatoes (love food but hate waste) so decided I’ll make Corned Beef Hotpot, but I’m determined to only have a reasonable portion and leave the rest for tomorrow.

To all those feeling poorly or a bit down – take care & hugs coming your way.

Morning all.

I weighed again today and it showed 1lb gain - could you remove one of my when you've got a moment, please, ragz? To be fair to myself I did think that last week's figure of 2lb lost in 3 days was a bit unlikely - I think today's is more accurate and I've just STS, which isn't too bad considering how much I've struggled this week.

Today goes (I only eat twice a day at weekends):

Brunch - 3 slices HM seed bread (well, 2 and a crust) with butter and 2 1/2 slices smoked salmon; pack of dried tropical fruit
Snack - handful of roasted mixed nuts; apple; carton of fruit juice
Dinner - LF turkey and leek lasagne (made with cottage cheese rather than cheese sauce); stewed plums with LF yoghurt; couple of small glasses of white win

Exercise - not much, sadly, as the weather's miserable and I've got a lot of studying to do (and I will go and do it in a minute, honest ) - a walk round the the supermarket this morning and a session putting together a flat pack table later will probably be about it.

Well done to everyone who's lost this week, and best wishes to the rest of us still struggling on.

Hi everyone

Lost 1lb this week!:j Really pleased and have exercised aswell 4 hourly sessions this week. A bit of a late start to the new year but feel more motivated now. Diet is still something I'm working on and needs to be improved though! Anyway, one step at a time......

Afternoon All,

A quick one from me as I've just got a short break as I worked an extra 3 hours for DS this afternoon. At least he said I didn't need to go in till 6.30 this evening rather than the more normal 5pm.

B: HM granary roll toasted with raspberry jam and butter.
L: 3 ryvitas with garlic cream cheese and cherry tomatoes. 1/2 Eccles cake
Chicken thigh with potato wedges, peas, grilled tomato and mushrooms. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.

Snack: 1/4 HM scone (which sounds very virtuous but I ate the other 3/4 last night after baking them after I'd listed my food intake for the day.

Exercise: Walk to work and back so about 3/4 mile.
