Hi

Good news, two pounds off; bad news, still half a bad of millet to chew through!

Well done on the loss and I know where you are coming from with the "bird seed" - I could never quite get into all bran - I remember a line in a film where the actress said "Bran...might as well eat rope and pull it through" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: So I stick with my porridge.

trinity_enigma - well done on deciding to give up, I'm into my third month. I used to use the cigs instead of eating as a means of controlling my weight, I just need to up the exercise now because they do say that smoking increases your metabolic rate and how quickly you use up the calories.

I hope everyone is managing to avoid the temptation of the lonely cries from all the "goodies" that are hidden away in the cupboards. I have just got to the point of not buying and not baking unless its for a very special occasion. Visitors are warned that if they want cakes/biscuits they better bring them and take them home, otherwise they are welcome to an orange or a handful of grapes.

I've started doing a bit of decorating to occupy my time, got the bathroom ceiling painted so having a quick break before I go off to make Mushroom Stroganoff for dinner - and yes I do have some soured cream for it - just wouldn't be the same and we all need a certain amount of fat in our diet

Take Care, N2bThrifty

Hi.

Well done all those who have iron wills and commiserations to the rest of us.

I'd done quite well since joining up on Friday. Today my dear (?) friend came in while I was typing and put down a coffee and a cake for me. "It's only a little one", she said. I had several bites and looked at the box it came in. Chocolate muffin - 505 calories!:eek::eek:

HM veg soup tonight and NO roll.

Evening All,

I spent last night throwing up - I assume it was a bug I picked up from somewhere- and felt very fragile most of today so haven't really eaten much. All I could think of that I wanted to eat was Ambrosia Creamed Rice, which I haven't eaten for years and years. So I got DH to buy me a tin of that and some Coke and actually am feeling quite a lot better.

B: None
L: None
T: Tin of rice pudding. Small bottle of Coke.

Exercise: None

Fuddle, talking to your GP is a good idea, my new GP is fab and I went back to see her today two weeks after her warning that my blood pressure is high and I'm starting to hit the obsese end of my weight range :eek:

It was a real wake up call and this time I'm determined to do something about it. GP was really encouraging about the changes I've made and we talked about doing things in a way that is sustainable not just as a 6 month "diet".

I don't think you're wasting resources, I think you're showing a sensible interest in your own health - go for it - they may well have a nurse who specialises in helping patients with weight loss.

Personally, I'm finding calorie counting works for me - I can have everything that I want, I just need to think about the other things that I eat and eat less than I would have before without the guilt of having slipped off the wagon.

Morning all.

I've wandered off track a bit recently - I'm feeling stressed and cold and tired, and haven't felt like making myself more miserable by depriving myself of nice food and evenings out with friends. I had a sneak peek on the scales this morning, though, and I've put back on the pound I lost last week, so I really need to do something to try and get back on track.

Today goes:

B - most of a bowl of porridge with a handful of dried fruit and nut mix and a tsp of brown sugar (the rest of the bowlful boiled over and ended up coating the inside of the microwave )
L - soup and a sandwich (I'll have to buy something)
S - apple, small banana, LF blueberry yoghurt
D - Somerset stew (a veg stew with cider that I've been wanting to try for a while, despite its lack of calories ) with a small portion of cheesy mash; mini apple sponge with custard (one of the small pots that you stick in the microwave for a couple of minutes)

Exercise - a walk up to town at lunchtime, probably quite briskly as it's cold out there!

Very well done to everyone else still struggling on.
