prophecy_grrl

I'm just posting to report a 2lbs loss in week one :beer:

I'm needing to change my weigh day to a Monday as my scales have packed in and I can't afford new ones, but I go to my Mam's on a Monday so can weigh there.

Have meal planned the week so as long as I don't fall face first into a rogue dairy milk I should be ok

Morning All

Pouring down with rain here and very windy. Made the school run very interesting :doh:
I am clearing my head cold but now have a squeeky voice for a few days. Not good for making the phone calls I have to do they must think I am weird.

Breakfast: F&F + ss milk
Lunch: seeded bread salad sandwich
Dinner: Soup with a slice of bread to dip
Snacks: none
Drink: water

Hope everyone can find some sun today.

Morning all. Was good last night and had enough calories left so had a hot chocolate and a biscuit. Almost worth eating fruit all day for!

Plan for today:
B: small glass of smoothie, cereal bar
L: left over stir fry from ladt night, petit filous, fruit
S: Fruit
Not entirely sure as OH is out tonight so will be making a meal for one which is a rare occasion. The nights he's not in are when I tend to eat rubbish. He keeps me motivated! So it's going to be hard not to be bad tonight but I will do my best.

Exercise: Half hour zumba class after work.

Hope everyone has a good day. I am so impressed when I read what you are all eating. I can't believe the people that have no snacks though -how do you do it! xx

oh and I was doing so welll.... oops. Blame the witch for the 3 flapjacks, two mini choc pots and two oranges that I ate AFTER my omelette.

Some people feel the need to snack more than others, I think ti depends on what you eat and how your body uses it. Snacking can be very good for you as long as it's the right things... she says...

I'll get my coat!

I will join you Ragz.

Im feeling so demotivated today and I have put on 2.5 lbs overnight. I know it is not real but it is so demoralising.

Made a gorgeous ratatouille recipe today from BBC website. I must have tried it the first time about 20 years ago, but back then I didn't like peppers, aubergines, corgettes or tomatoes so no wonder. Anyway, this had made me write it off, but now I like most of those. Have to say it was absolutely delish and will cook again. Might even have it without meat next time, which is really saying something.

I am very, very excited! (How sad)

I'm there with you Ragz, my stomach definitely copes better with a little and often, but its changing my mindset from the mid morning/afternoon snacks being crisps, chocs, biscuits, cakes etc, etc, etc to FRUIT, FRUIT, FRUIT.

Ooh I love it too but generally on its own with loads of nice crusty bread to soak up those lovely juices from the oil and veg.

I think I've been doing ok for the past couple of days, but met a friend in town for lunch today - decided on the Express Lunch which is Soup & Sandwich - only to find the French Onion Soup had this HUGE crouton floating on top, except it was not a crouton but a deep fried mini ham and cheese sandwich :eek: (Crock Monsieur is that what they call them) . So that along with the Kett!e type crisps also on the plate has scuppered my plans for being :A
