Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 8. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Caterina

Hi Sparrer JackieO and Meanmarie and all the others, it is good to 'see' so many old online friends!

Here's me today:

B: egg poached in tomato and mushroom sauce
L: mixed salad, goat cheese, thin rye bread slice
S: yogurt, blueberries, a few almonds and Brazil nuts
nut burgers, steamed French beans, greens
DOWNFALL: homemade walnut liqueur on vanilla ice cream

Just could not resist it, it has been sitting there for 6 weeks maturing and it was so good when we opened it, I had to have it on ice cream. Hope I haven't undone my healthy eating too badly.

Hi ellie99. l had a stroke last year, having been vastly obese. last sept my cholesterol was 4.5, it's now 4.8 & it has to come down, I take 12 tablets a day including statins & warfarin.I can't exercise much as l have 2 slipped discs & osteoarthritis. I'm getting physio finally, so that should help.

Excellent! We have 5 more weigh ins for this challenge - so all I need to know is how much you hope to lose in that time and I will add you to the list

I'd be happy with 1lb a week, so that's 5lb in total.

The weight didn't go on in a day, so I know it won't come off in a day. I love my wine at the weekends and I refuse to give that up :j

Hi and welcome to newbies and nice to see JackieO, Caterina, Meanmarie and sparrer - I remember you all from when the thread was started by frogga a few years ago.

Today hasn't been bad:

Breakfast - Porridge with sweetner

Lunch - half a bagel with tuna and salad

Dinner - boiled pasta with hm tomato sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

I was full after dinner but quickly got hungry again so have just had a small piece of onion bread with a slice of beef and a cheese slice on:o

tomorrow I am definitely getting back on it properly! I plan to do a meal plan and everything!!

Also discovered yet another reason why I should lose weight...
I have a small back garden but quite private, and my neighbours would have to be really craning their necks out their upstairs windows to see my washing line...so I hang everything out. So today I hang out all my giant Bridget Jones pants...and completely unexpectedly 2 young men arrived to take the top off a tree in my garden...right beside my washing line...oh the embarrassment, they might not have cared, but I did :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I know exactly what you mean, ellie!

I think I'm about the same weight as you, and it is hard but we will do it this time!


Theatregirl - sorry to hear of your sad anniversary - sending lots of hugs.


Savesummore - I've been MIA for a few days and missed your birthday hope you had a lovely day

Officeguru - I really love your attitude to weight loss - you should write a book...........

Had a really hectic few days, as DD1 has a new house which needs lots of work :eek: so I've been painting etc. - from morning 'til night today. I'm hoping it will burn off some of the fat

Hi and welcome!

sounds like a good plan!

Breakfast was a slice of onion bread, follwed by another slice, with two slices of monterey jack cheese (I LOVE monterey jack):o:o

Lunch won't happen because of the large breakfast and dinner is chicken bacon and avocado salad.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Afternoon all, still plodding on here. I'm quite happy because I've managed to sts over the bank holiday weekend (not declaring anything, just sharing ). Weekends are often hard and an extra day just means extra pressure to treat myself. Hopefully the rest of the week will be OK too.

Oh, I did get a punnet of cherry tomatoes reduced to 20p in the shop this morning so I can "pig out" on them
