It's a real eye opener when you weigh things out isn't it. It's taken me a while but trying to find a balance that I am satisfied with that doesn't send the calories soaring. I have settled on having 25g of Muesli with 90g of greek yoghurt and a piece of fruit. Last week I stewed up some near to manky fruit too, which was nice stirred through the yoghurt an muesli.

Will definitely try that, never had it with yogurt. But I want to try it NOW and I have just had a 200cal bag of fruit and nuts

ETA I gave in and tried it, had to stir in a spoonful of jam as I'd forgotten I don't like the sharp taste of greek yogurt. Even with that I worked it out as about 150cal so a nice snack that could wekk work as a breakfast if I ate it with fruit...

Hi All, I’ve finally caught up on everybody’s post and hope those that have been poorly are beginning to feel better and for those who are “flagging” – Come On We Can Do It!!! - Just think, Spring is around the corner and it will get a lot easier then, no ‘SAD’ to deal with, longer days and much more Vit D (apologies Kiwisaver, but then again, depending on where you are, our spring temp is much the same as your winter temp)

I have just been looking through the “What are you making for dinner” thread for inspiration, and drooling at the thought of Cheese & Onion Pie or as I would call it Cheesy Mash, but I WILL not deviate from my plan – only mental note to self - cheesy mash next week (yum, yum)
So today I had
B – Yoghurt & stewed apples.
L – 2 large slices of toast with mashed banana.
D – Spag Bol, broccoli.

Good luck for those weighing in tomorrow, fingers x.

hi everyone,

i know im a bit behind but was hoping i could join you?

im really unhappy with my weight at the minute. i started a diet on monday and have seriously fallen off the wagon today.

my OH will be away from next tuesday until sunday so im hoping that will be a good kick-start as i wont have him sneaking in treats!

im 5foot 6 and currently weigh 16st 8lbs:eek:

when i was in labour at the hopsital with my little one, i weighed myself in the bathroom when they were trying to con me that a hot bath would help and i weighed 16st 5lbs.
after i had baby i got down to about 14st 1lb on weight watchers but when i put on 8lbs in one week i gave up.

im hoping a forum like this will help, everyone seems really nice.

i will weigh myself next on the the second of feb.

thanks

Good day today :j have managed to stick with in my cals and have done another gym and swim session.

Was feeling a little aprehensive about weigh in tomorrow, but as I was getting out the pool my swimming costume came down and the poor old life guard got a bit more of an eye full than he expected!! _pale_ :eek: Was rather embarrassing at the time but guess on the plus side it means I'm loosing some inches if not pounds

Good luck for tomorrow everyone, heading off for early night (so don't get tempted to eat any more!! )

Roast pork sandwich with pickled onions on HM bread. Also 1/3 of the crust of the still warm bread dripping with butter. Clementine.
Snacks: Several Quality Street. Bowl of muesli with sultanas.

Exercise: 2 hours of Pilates. Walks to work and exercise class and back and to DGD's tonight so about 3 miles in total.

Hmm weighed again today and seen to have lost 2 kg in the last four days or so, which would be 4.4lb, I'm going to record that as a loss but I'm not convinced that it's real....

Weighed at GP last Tuesday eve 77kg, weighed this Monday eve 76.1kg which looked right at about a 2lb loss, then this morning I'm 74.1kg so another 4.4 lb down which seems a huge loss.

I'm planning to WI on a Friday morning so will keep going and see what happens next week

Morning All :j

Friday WI! And I've lost a further 1lb. Makes a total of 8lb. Go me!:T:T

I've been good food-wise this week. I don't post my meals as I'm pretty repetitive (e.g. I cook myself a sunday lunch - smaller portion - and eat that for 4 days!), but it works for me, and stops me wondering what to have/stuffing myself while I think about it. Not one chocolate has been bought/passed my lips all month :T

However, I am starting to slip into old ways with the alcohol on an evening, though, again, I'm keeping the "portion-size" half of what I'd have had before. Even so...I know I'm sliding, so need to watch that. I think it's just that the alcohol is in the house. I'm determined not to buy any to replace it until Easter...:A

Still, am happy to have 8lbs less fat to carry around, and am looking forward to breaking through the 11 stone barrier. This week maybe....?

Good luck everyone. Keep up the good work. TFI Friday
