Hmmm looking at that portion, I think I may have think about cutting down on my 50g of jumbo porridge oats that the packet suggests. :undecided :think:

this is the size on my SW diet but it really isn't enough which is why I had the toast!:D I'm swapping now to normal oats, soaking them over night and upping the portion a bit, I think this will be a bit more filling!

Right. I'll stick with what I've got at the moment and then if the weight loss stops, I'll reduce it later

Today:
Breakfast: Oatiflakes w/ semi skimmed, cup of Earl Grey
Snack: 6 baby tomatoes
Lunch: leftover wholemeal pasta, w/ drizzle of salad dressing, lettuce and a small orange pepper. Activia Fat Free yoghurt
Dinner: Chicken Fajitas (w/ pepper & mushroom) and salad
Snack: Strawberries.. and a little alcohol this evening x

Good morning every-one, I hope you arent feeling as carp as me today. I know I am going to struggle with the healthy eating but i guess not every day can be easy or i wouldnt be here weighing what i weigh today.Also, its a test to see how i cope with the usual stresses and strains of life. Usually i would think bu**er it and eat my way out.I need to get through today without trashing the `diet` so hopefully will eat......Breakfast-2 weetabix and a banana,(Already eaten) lunch -homemade soup, bread roll or crackers and fruit. Dinner/Tea- stir fry chicken with veg and a yoghurt after. I will go to bed early if i have to. Might pop back later just for the support. Sorry this post is a selfish one,Just needed to write it down. Have a good day every-one.

Go and pick up a pack of butter and you will realise how much fat you have lost this week. Congratulations on losing 1/2 lb.
