TG speed dating sounds great fun, they should have a similar event for us olds, but call it snail dating - the speed would only confuse us :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OG- I like your realistic approach to diet etc I think a lifetime of eating food you dont like is enough to put anyone off/ a reciepe for failure

Thanks to everyone who inboxed me ref MFP I will try to figure how to add you later :rotfl:

Really really trying to be good today!

B: Museli, greek yog, strawberries, blueberries
S: Banana

ellie and sparrer - :rotfl: thanks for the giggles. You're probably right (on both counts re: biscuits and the dating).

Took apart bunny hutches for cleaning this morning and to let them air out properly. 3 hours later put them all back together again, all sparkly and clean. Dirty little poopbums they are. :rotfl:

Going to get out my pilates for beginners DVD today - found it last night on the DVD shelf - right at the back - so going to give that a go and see if I can manage it.

Training at work tonight (some crappy customer service folder fill in thingy) but it's paid so cant complain too much.

Trying to be good otherwise. I ate the biscuits so they wont bother me further........! :rotfl:

b - cereal, banana
s - 5 x biscuits
l - tuna salad
d - hm stirfry portion

Ok I'm really trying hard today although I'm finding it just so very difficult. So far I've had

45g ish rice krispies with almond milk
2 coffees
1 mocha
1 apple
1/2 a banana
3 ryvitas with peanut butter
1/3 packet of quavers

I really want to see a difference on the scales tomorrow.

officeguru...you sound like you have your life/diet sorted as well...it's great that it's fallen into place for you, and that you KNOW you're going to get to your target weight. That conviction will really help you to keep going.
Do you not have breakfast? If you're only eating once a day, what time of day do you usually eat? Just being nosey...I think I'd get over hungry doing that, and then overeat at my meal

Sadly, I think you're right re the job...what I *want* to do and what I physically *can* do are very different things

Hi Ellie,

All my adult life I was never hungry at breakfast time.. or lunch time.. so I don't eat until the evening meal.. If I find I am hungry before that... I eat something.. but I always sit down to eat it... as you can munch through a lot of food on the go... I also always make myself something worthwhile to eat :beer:

I don't see the point of eating something I don't particularly care for... as it would have the same or more calories so I might as well eat something I like... For example, I could eat a cheap supermarket ice-cream.... but I love hagen daz vanilla.... so guess what I have if I fancy ice-cream ???? That way, I don't crave for it... It's usually in the winter time that I have something during the day and that would be a bowl of home-made soup... but if I have potatoes in the soup, I don't have bread with it... so that I am not loading myself up with carbs...

Weekends don't count as my betterhalf could never last until teatime....as he munches from the time his eyes open until he goes to sleep and he carries about a stone extra in weight.. Whereas if I look at food, I put on stones...

I don't feel hungry at all during the day... so I don't eat for eating's sake... I prepare the evening meal in the morning and then it is usually ready around 6 oclock .. I don't load up my plate but I do have a starter.. Last night it was chopped up tomatoes (I can't have the seeds) with chopped up, leftover, boiled potatoes with a few olives mixed together with a little olive oil, vinegar & salt. The portion size would fit in the palm of my hand.. Then I had stuffed, roast pork with a couple of the potatoes.. Due to my condition, I am seriously limited to the vegetables I can eat..

This morning, I had a visitor, so I made us rolls cut in half, toasted with chopped tomatoes, seasoned with melted cheese on top, followed by a muffin (which she brought) ... as I wouldn't be so rude not to have it... but I don't beat myself up as it was very enjoyable.. Tomorrow, I'll go back to my usual routine..

I think the reason I am more successful than the endless diets I have been on in the past... is because I no longer see food as the answer to all my problems, or purely a social thing... 'What's food got to do with hunger? ... 'Nothing', would have been my answer in the past... so I am just trying to adopt a new way of life.. and it helps knowing my toblerone is on top of the wardrobe !!! :beer:

I had a first today...in fact it could even be a first in my entire lifetime!...I made chocolate cakes with butter icing, and sultana drop biscuits.....and I didn't test them ,,,put every single one in the tins for later.

Okay, I did lick the icing bowl, but that's allowed

Well done Ellie, you've got far stronger will power than me, the best I've got Is I now make a small one to test and half it with my toddler, only about 1/4 of the calories, don't think I could go cold turkey!

Have had bolognaise for tea, a small portion, and a rocky bar. Just stepped on the scales and I'm what I was this morning so I'm hoping a loss will appear over night, one can but hope!!

Just done a loaf of stomach crunches and squats, I will lose this saggy belly and droopy bum if it kills me!

Yes, well, the boasting is maybe a bit premature, because I'll definitely have one or two tomorrow but hope to do a walk to counteract them!

And don't step on the scales at night, you'll drive yourself crazy...mornings only

Like the typo btw :rotfl:

Morning well I've hopped on the scales this morning and Ive lost the weight I put on at the weekend, 2 more days to lose an extra lb though, not sure it's doable but I can try..... Although I might well be out to lunch today.... Will try very hard to make sensible choices!!

Lol Ellie was more like a loaf of sit ups I'm not the best at them!
