    Yay, another 1lb weight loss this week, which makes 4lbs in the last 4 weeks. I have gone from 11st 2lbs to 10st 12lbs :)


    Today I ate:


    Breakfast- 2 slices of wholemeal toast with PB and a Satsuma
    Snack-Apple
    Lunch- Quinoa and Bbbuckwheat salad (a pre made one, Dr Food)
    Snack- A mini twister ice cream (48 cals).
    Dinner- (In the oven as we speak) Mediterranean turkey, boiled royal jersey potaotes, salad and extra veggies.


    I am almost reaching 2L of water/weak juice per day, but not quite.


    You're doing great :D

    Yesterday's stuff

    Kit kat chunky, 75g mozzarella and pesto kettle crisps, low sugar monster - 657 calories

    Trout with fish seasoning, steamed green beans, sprouts, broccoli and sweet corn - 288 calories

    206g seedless grapes - 136 calories

    Baked salmon on oyster sauce with steamed broccoli and peas - 333 calories

    1414 calories
    81.5 protein
    146.2 carbs
    52.6 fat

    Pint of green tea
    3x water with pain killer
    330ml can Pepsi max

    Cod liver oil
    Raspberry ketone
    Multi vit
    Echinacea

    Summary of the week -

    I'm pleased with how this week went, logged food every day, only had one none calorie counting day (which I estimated to be 3000)

    Calories for the week were

    1453
    1281
    3000 (estimate)
    1155
    1359
    2080
    1414

    = 11,742/7 = 1677

    A average of 1677 isn't so bad

    I've had veg and/or fruit every day

    Next week more of the same


    What was your weightloss for that week Tink, or don't you weigh weekly?

    Thanks Tink. It seems to be coming off at a rate of 1lb a week. I am happy with that as its within the recommended amount for long term healthy weight loss.

    Hi tinks

    Just come across your thread... well done so far.

    can I ask where you get the ketones from... I would love to try them but the number of scams with them worries me.

    thanks

    Tink2, WHAT ON EARTH WAS WRONG WITH YOU?

    There was no tuna on the menu!
    Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help. I am in crisis and need a supporting hand to keep me on the right and just path. My mind is troubled but I will strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show me the way to a just and right resolution. Amen.
