I think the calories will be in the sugar and, to a lesser extent, in the milk. Conflicting results will be because there is no exact measurement. How much in 'one sugar'? That's the problem. Was it a heaped teaspoon, or a level teaspoon, and how much milk?

Thanks Margaret. Heaped teaspoon of sugar, but never really measured the milk.

Easiest way is to allocate an amount of milk for the day for your tea - say 1/4 of a pint??

Well done on the changes.

Make sure you drink plenty of water that will help the headaches. If they get bad I take 1 paracetamol to take the edge off them, but you'll get there.

Welcome Mcjordi, it sounds like you have already made some really positive changes, well done. Hopefully the headaches will ease off soon. Is there a local chemist with a scales you could use? It seems a shame not to be able to weigh yourself and keep track of your progress straight away.

Another 1 hour Bodypump for me today please Fred.

mcjordi

no unfortunately they removed it.. wouldnt care it went up to about 30 stone aswell ive found one on amazon that does up to 28 i think for £20.50 delivered so when i get some spare cash ill order it.. gonna do 30 mins on exercise bike when i fully wake up and have a small bowl of cereal.. dinner will be a small portion of beef stew thats in the freezer. plus plenty of water

edit- after reading the reviews on them scales im not getting them.. they seem to vary massively on what surface you use em.. one review said they added 12lbs to his weight that he was.. not good

Hi all :wave:

Thanks for the chart Fred and well done for SOTW Dannie. :T

Love the nickname McJordi , are you Scottish? Welcome to the thread.

Fred - please record an hour walking and an hour car cleaning please. I seem to be spending half my time cleaning the car - I'm trying to sell it, but being black, it shows rain marks and dust so I'm fighting a losing battle.

Is anyone watching the Hairy Dieters? They've been doing some great recipes - last night they made their low fat versions of chinese and indian takeaways and they looked really good. We're all probably doing most of the things they're suggesting anyway as most of it is obvious, but I think I might buy the recipe book.
