Are you changing up what you are eating? Different HEB's every day, different breakfasts/fruit/veg. Are you bulking your meals out with enough veg to carry it all out of your digestive system or drinking enough fluids to flush it all out?

It's all too easy to get stuck in a rut of the same meals over and over and it will slow your metabolism. Changing things round gives it a kick start. Xx

Think you may have something here. My transit time has never been good IYSWIM and I honestly thought with all the fresh cook from scratch food that this would have improved - it hasn't, if anything its worse. I am eating a lot of salad and I am also having 2 x alpen lights as my breakfast every day plus an apple or banana (not both) this is because it is easier for me to have a 'bar' with a cup of coffee at home and then another at playtime at work by doing this I have not been tempted by the biccies and cakes that are alway present in the staffroom! but I take your point that maybe I need to up the fluids. I do not like herbal teas but have found one that I can tolerate so I will switch to that during the day. I think I restrict fluids because I get up at least twice in the night for the loo.

Thank you for your help - I will try any suggestions.

Toomuchworry - also, write down everything you eat and show your consultant. they might be able to give you some ideas x

I am doing this at home so no consultant just this online group!

I will try to get at least a 10min walk in everyday to see if that helps.

Hiya Everyone,

Thought I might as well join in - I've been browsing this thread the last couple of days

Well, I've got loads of weight to lose - bit embarrassed to say how much, but as time goes on and I drop the pounds I might change my mind on that. I've never dieted, was healthy & slim til I was about 24ish, then slowly but surely the pounds crept on, and I let them. It's like all of a sudden, I want to lose weight and feel the time is right to do it! So here's to getting to a healthy weight again

I joined a SW group 2 weeks ago, my first weigh in I lost 8lb :j, due my 2nd weigh in tomorrow evening, and I think I'm beginning to get my head around it all. I'm on MSE most days ( I hang around the competition boards!) so I'll pop in daily and have a chat and see how we're all getting on. Nice to 'meet' you all!

Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs and half a tin of baked beans & cup of apple tea

Lunch - pasta mixed with tuna, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, peppers & onions with 3 tbsp of Heinz lighter mayo (6 syns)

Tea - SW chips, HM burgers with 5% fat beef, 2 wholemeal rolls (HEB and 6 syns?), 30g mature cheese (HEA), lettuce, cucumber, toms & peppers.

snacks: 2 satsumas

I've still got 8 syns to play with (I'm allowed 20) but I'll probably just have an options or two later

If you think digestion may be a problem, then there are plenty of free foods that are fiberous. Try to include a dose of those every day. Examples include;

All types of beans, including baked beans, cannellini, haricot, pinto, kidney beans etc.
Chick peas, mushy peas, petit pois, split peas.
Quorn products
Veg such as artichoke,sprouts, garlic, okra, seaweed.
Fruit such as blackberries, blackcurrants, passion fruit and cranberries.

Hope everyone is doing well, I really need to try and catch up on the thread but here's today's food:

Breakfast - activia 0% fat yogurt, banana, plum

Lunch - tomato and pepper soup, 2 Clementines

Snacks - gherkins, feta cheese (hex)

Dinner - zingy chicken tray bake from the family feasts on a budget book, cucumber and cherry tomatoes, potato wedges

Going to have 2 of the cherry bakewell Alpen light bars for my extra hex and a cup of tea later. Don't really feel like I'm losing weight this week but that could be because next week should be star week

Its def been a week for slip ups all round!!

Huge muck up over here today too.

Breakfast - tomato and mushroom omelette with HEXA milk in that and a cuppa.

Dinner - big tuna salad (1)

Tea - planned - cowboy hotpot with asparagus, carrots and broccoli on the side.

One afternoon from hell later (dentist, spilled bleach, CSA aggro, spilled milk, dying PC, house is a tip and PMT)

Tea - Fish (with batter), chips, peas, curry sauce, buttered barm, can of dandelion and burdock. And a Yorkie and some cheese...

Oh and an Alpen light as my HEXB :rotfl::A:eek:

At least I didn't dive headfirst into the wine, every cloud.

Dreading WI on Friday now, the TOTM was going to be bad enough, I am akin to a camel these weeks!

Good to see you macpep :wave:

sarymclary is indeed very lovely

worry~Maybe try writing down all your syns & we will see if we can help.
Upping fluids is also a great idea.I try to drink water with NAS Ribena every day.

I find it easier with fluids to have certain amounts at certain times.

I get a pint of water with my breakfast before I leave the house and have at least a litre during my working day, often a litre and a half. I then make sure I pour a pint when I get in. Any other fluids are a 'bonus' in my eyes and I'm not up all night weeing as I go to bed a good six hours after I get in.
