    Counting pennies hugs - Hate when a horrible mood like that strikes and nothing seems to be going right :(. Your eating is one thing that you can control and you will feel so much better when you get fully back on board.


    I am on Day 4 now of behaving myself after being terrible, sluggish, cross and generally awfully I am feeling a lot better already. Just went through terrible ladies probs too for about 3 weeks! I am starting to deflate thank goodness and there is lots of toilet activity sorry tmi!! I'm sure but I am quickly feeling the benefits of being back on board! Blackberries also seem to be effective!!


    Friday 13th today and my Drs Appt today :(


    Hope your appointment went well. I'm feeling in a better mood tonight now thanks. Possibly because I'm too tired to feel anything else. ;)
    I too am starting to see bits of new clothing creeping into to wardrobe that start with a 1 instead of 2 - really good feeling. :)

    Well done BEG!! That is fantastic! :T

    Ate out last night (yummy Indian) and again today at lunchtime. The lunch menu was quite reasonable (£20 for 3 courses) but wine was £13.95 a glass!!:eek:

    :eek::eek::eek: That is crazy!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    Unfortunately i'm reporting a +2, sorry Shala ..... I knew it was coming so not massively disappointed. I ended up doing 30 minutes on the cross trainer afterwards then some weights and toning. Deffo noticing a change in my body shape tho I must admit, even DH has noticed.

    Ended up at the pub for lunch as planned. Had a beef sandwich and a few chips. I was stuffed after. Then my 3 hour shift this afternoon turned into a 6 hour so I've been on my feet all night. Haven't ate anything as my stomach is making some funny noises. Been drinking lots of water, so fingers crossed things are *ahem* "moving" down in the right direction?? :rotfl:

    Feeling a little more positive tonight. Working tomorrow for over 12 hours so my food plan is:

    Breakfast: Cereal (healthy a & b)
    1st Break: Spaghetti hoops
    2nd Break: Chicken and new potatoes with beetroot (random but I gotta take food into work to avoid the pizza)
    Supper: Omelette (possibly.... will see how I feel)

    Snacks/syns: Grapes and apples from salad bar at work and 2 curly whurlys (chocolate for energy, lol).

    Hope everyone is doing ok and has a good day tomorrow. Doubt i'll make it online. Thanks for all the nice messages.

    Morning All :)

    Congrats on your losses mich and hwoolgar :T

    I've managed 3 days of SP so nearly halfway through. I was thinking of having potatoes for Sunday lunch irrespective but now I want to stick with it for the week and see what happens - I haven't weighed myself either, I want to see if this week does anything :D Better not be a gain :rotfl:

    Planning to walk today and tomorrow if I can work it around the weather, then start C25K Monday night....

    Me too!

    Something finally did the trick and I feel great. I've resisted a sneaky peak in case I'm disappointed, I'll be extra careful and stay on plan this week and hope for a super result next Friday. Three meals out this week though!

    Have a great weekend everyone, onwards and downwards. :j

    Just a quick post as going out shortly.

    Another EE day:

    D - rabbit stew, mashed potatoes - probably no extra veg as there are loads in the stew (truth be known more veg than rabbit, LOL!)

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - LTL mayo 0.5; couple glasses of wine 12

    You aren't really supposed to have sausages on SP but I reckon there's a fair bit of protein in them and I add to it with peas and broad beans

    The worst Quality sausages I have seen is 40% meat, but usually they average from 70 - 90% meat. The better the sausage the less fat and rubbish they contain.

    Lidl Bratwurst (possibly Aldi too), usually have quite a lot of meat/protein 89%, and seem to be gluten free (not advertised as GF on the packaging), so they are very good value, I could not eat them all the time though.

    What is SP (Speed-food/Protein)?

    Still looks like your highly motivated so no need to worry.

    The body weight can really fluctuate, I was just monitoring myself this week so I can better understand my body, and I caught my body weight varying +4.5 lbs from my last weigh in!
    It don't help either when the body starts holding onto everything, had this since yesterday so I really feel for you.
    Cheers

    Very, very, happy to report a 1.5lb loss SHALA

    Did 3 days SP which seems to have done the trick, I think its because of the lower gluten content as well as the low carb. I find a good replacement for potato is Celeriac, I have that instead of potato with my Sunday roast.

    Being treated to a meal at my favourite Indian Buffet Restaurant tonight by DD1 for Mother's day and OH says we can have a takeaway tomorrow (need to choose wisely), to save me cooking. Need to be really disciplined because last time we went to this place I could've been rolled out,I ate so much it was uncomfortable.
