6 Week Awesome in Autumn Challenge Day 9 Week 2
Tuesday 17th September

Good Morning you lovely People :beer:

Lantana hugs to you. Hope today is a better day. I avoided the food last night as I got busy and then it was too late to fit in a binge so I went to bed. That's obviously a plan for next time
It's a very busy week this week at work as we have parents in. It's full on. Some of the new teachers were really struggling with the stress of it all last night so I felt like a big sister helping them out, holding their hands. I feel like a fraud because I'm not actually a real grown up Does anyone alse ever feel like that?

Have super tuesday you old nut cases :j

Flat_Eric

Things have gone slightly awry in the world of flat eric. I was doing so well but now I seem to have lost the plot and have been eating all the wrong things :mad: so back to basics, time to catch up properly on here and get back on track :T

frogga

Oh dear, Not So Flat Eric :grouphug:sorry to hear that, perhaps you should change your user name to Fat Eric instead

I jest. Read back a few pages, get some inspiration. Some of the guys on here are doing brilliantly. We have just started a 6 Week Challenge and it's not too late to join in?

Inazuma

Frogga, I have pasted your wonderful piece about Christmas and printed it out. It is on the wall in front of my desk. Thanks.

Lost 11b last night
Gutted as I've stuck to it miserably and religiously

Morning all,

Aero - you're right, does sound like you get a fair bit of variety but if you have a microwave can you take leftovers? I say leftovers but I deliberately make more pasta/curry/risotto/whatever, especially in this weather. Also have some mugshots and low fat super noodles for emergencies. If you have time to make soup to bring in that's great too. I know what you mean about just being able to grab a cake or whatever, but if you make sure you have some little treats with you (hifi bar, kitkat etc) maybe that'll hit the spot instead.

Anon - haven't tried the blue cheese triangle but a few people have said they're lovely. Re. red days - depends if you're an offal fan but I love liver, bacon and onion - liver is dead cheap. Been meaning to get some kidneys to do something with (OH goes white when I even mention offal :rotfl:) but haven't got round to it yet. On my mum's recommendation I have started getting the bags of frozen (raw) chicken fillets from Farmfoods - 3 bags (poss 1kg each but I can't be sure) for £10. I thought they would be a bit watery but they're fine. Also get the cooked frozen chicken strips but they're for the cat, she eats better than us Haven't had FF bacon but did get a huge pack in Aldi last week and portioned it up to freeze, which should save a few quid.

Mildredd - your consultant is right, 2.5 in your second week is fab! Sorry but if you are expecting more than that every week you're most likely to be disappointed, so enjoy the fact that you're doing so well! In answer to your question, yes you can split your HEs as long as they are properly measured ad you keep a track of them.

Hugs to Lantanna, Frogga, Border, FE and anyone else who is struggling :grouphug:

Soooo... was made up (and a bit surprised after France) to lose 2.5 last night. I mentioned yesterday about calling target next week but then found out that my consultant is on holiday then and was gutted about missing me get it after being in her class for 17 months, so I called it there and then with a total loss of 6st 11.5 (although the 0.5 isn't on the PAT as wanted to be a tiny bit under, lol!). I'm really pleased and proud of myself but I'm not going to strike through the target weight thing in my signature yet as when I get home from holiday I'm going for another stone or so as a final PAT, just wanted a bit of leeway (and free holiday weeks!) until I come back. I'll keep my 7lb challenge target as you never know, by some miracle I might lose on holiday (food poisoning might be the only way that will happen :rotfl:)

Feed day today but still fairly healthy/SW - I don't normally post my menus here because it's not strictly SW but I am today, partly to show that the principles are still fundamentally there:
B: Berries, 1 weetabix, coconut greek yog (full fat - whoopsied so couldn't say no )
L: Ham and avocado salad, tiny bit of brie, sandwich thin
T: Mushy pea curry with chicken, curry loaf
S: Something sweet later on

Have a great day all and good luck to the weighers

Mildredd

Frogga - I constantly feel like a child living in an adults world lol not sure when I became a full fledge adult though part of me still thinks I'm a teenager
Your weight loss is amazing - and your menus always sound delicious

Hmm - 1lb off is still a loss would be a stone by Christmas if you list 1lb a week

Blodwen. Well done on your loss and calling target!!!

I know I'm being Silly I'm just being impatient really I'm actually really proud of myself but just seemed a bit rubbish after the 1st weigh in.
Playing with the sw website thing I've put my target down as 6stones lighter than I started eep.

Today's menu plan
Breakfast- banana and grapes nas squash
Lunch - left over scouse n beetroot and/or pickled onions
Tea- not sure yet waiting on getting new oven replaced today at some point - quite fancy a curry though - might have to try the sw mushy pea curry with chips

Going to try chicken kievs this week too if anyone has a tried and tested recipe?

Love this thread definitely motivating and inspirational in a way an hour meeting isn't x

Phew glad I can combine my hexs xxx

Aw thanks, can't wait!

Recipe for curry loaf is here - it's really tasty and quite filling so I'm doing it instead of rice, and I like it cold for lunch as well
